Apple Watch vs Garmin (Don't Waste Your Money)

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

✅ Let me give you 30 ways in 30 days to run faster for longer without training more: runningequati.ck.page/30days

[@RikkeB]

You can tap the screen when it countsdown from "3,2,1". When you tap that screen, the workout starts and skips the countdown.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

Thanks for the tip :) I saw another comment saying the same. I had no idea. It's still a bit inaccurate though compared to it starting exactly as you press the button IMO.

[@_cadia]

@@NicklasRossnerPTyou can avoid the countdown all together by turning on precise start

[@mightnmagic3095]

And usually people like countdown, I like it myself

[@pavlonera]

Hi! Two metrics are important to me - heart rate at rest and heart rate variability. Garmin measures variability only during sleep, and sleeping with Garmin, for example, 51 mm is too much. I had a 955 solar, sold it and bought an ultra 2.

[@mariojaen]

On the Apple Watch when it’s counting 3,2,1 if you press in the middle, you will start right away and it will stop the countdown

[@michaelberto1146]

i think you can also let the watch play a sound when the workout is starting

[@RaulViitor1]

I've done the same this week. I'm switching from the Apple Watch to a Garmin watch. As someone who uses a lot the watch outside now, the Apple Watch battery is terrible; I have to recharge it twice per day. Meanwhile, the Garmin lasts from 5 to 6 days so far. On the other hand, the Garmin watch isn't really a smartwatch, it does okay the basics of a watch, but it excels in sports tracking.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@@RaulViitor1 100%. I think the hard thing is that they offer two different needs - And I want them both in one 😅

[@jsworld1446]

I am in the same spot. Have Fenix 6x pro. Great for fitness not good for smart watch

[@gregorypuryear387]

You forgot to mention that Apple charges you more than double the price for that lap button too LOL! I have the Ultra 2 and the Garmin Epix pro. I just wear both when I run but the Ultra can last easily a marathon while even listening to music as well a 100K. But I wouldn’t recommend listening to music if you run that far. The heart rate sensor and the gps especially on the Ultra is right there with any Garmin that’s out there. I agree that if you’re a serious athlete and if you’re really into the numbers, get a Garmin. But if you’re a person that’s health conscious and you want an absolute astonishing smartwatch get the Apple. It doesn’t have to be the Ultra because they’re both more similar than you think.

[@chriscarpunky]

I wear Apple on one wrist. Garmin on the other.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

The perfect combo!

[@somebodywho69]

dumb

[@thisispw]

When I was younger, we just trained, had a shower and chilled out. No watch, no nonsense, no stress or materialistic bs. Just train and stop all this wasted time, just live your life and enjoy. You don’t need an app for that.

[@brianmunday8182]

And people are faster and more efficient now, because of this tech

[@manhunni]

i got the Series 9 and bought a few days ago the fr 965 - ngl i dont use some apps for tracking sleep just the regular health features - so far im totally fine with. Marathons are no big deal with the apple watch 9 even though you run music too. But im Running Ultras, or going for it, so Batterylife COULD work maybe in the lower ultras?! but i dont wanna find out and have a dead battery midrun. lol we all know, if its not on strava its never happend xD. Charging the apple watch is no big deal at all, while showering - i get most of the time 80-90% batterylife back. so 30 min for a almost fullcharge is fine for the rest of the day yeah i get the watch in a few days and i hope i dont need the apple watch anymore after wearing and testing it a few weeks. IF so you got the Point, the Ultra should work aswell and its almost the same pricepoint - so if im not fine with the garmin, im gonna sell it again to buy the new ultra when it come out. but there too i heard the new apple watch X will have the batterylife of the ultra... but well... we just have to find out for ourselfs what fits the best right :D thanks for the insights, kinda have the same thoughts like you in the vid

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

Thanks for the insights 😄 I think its so hard because I want both of the watches combined in one 😂 First world problems..

[@JonathanGrainger1975]

You can put a shortcut to start a workout on your home screen

[@cunawarit]

I'm in the Amazfit ecosystem and it's interesting that Amazfit seems so similar to Garmin, the Apple Watch from what you read doesn't seem specifically tailored for running.

[@GlenVoss]

Another advantage with Garmin is their ecosystem of units, that work seamlessly together. No watch will, in my mind, ever replace a cycling computer. And you don't get that from Apple.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

100% - I use Garmin as both my cycling computer and power meter - and everything works perfectly together.

[@sidspears3117]

aw works with powermeter)

[@Adrian-rl2zw]

Which watch is more accurate at Tracking your runs with GPS for strava?

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@@Adrian-rl2zw I think they are pretty equal. In theory the Garmin is better than Apple Watch Series but Apple Watch Ultra has Sonar GPS and should be on par with Garmin. I have an Apple watch Series 9 and I find it to be on par with my Garmin for accuracy.

[@sugreeva7]

I find the 3-2-1 countdown annoying too, but if you just tap the screen, it will start tracking immediately and bypass the countdown.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

Thank you so much for the tip 😄

[@muggetsuwow3758]

ultra 2 will instantly start you workout bro

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@glauco78 Awesome! Can’t wait for that

[@_cadia]

@glauco78already there for me in current watch os…

[@LiliputianMisChief]

Now get a Coros and tell me if it’s worth switching from Garmin!

[@GarminPro]

I love my Coros. I can tell you that. The app is simple and great. The watch battery is crazy.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

I’ve heard a ton about Coros but never tried myself. I need to try it 😄

[@chriscarpunky]

I returned it my Coros Pace 3. During exercise it’s great but otherwise it was way off just walking around or sitting still. Also, I don’t like how your training load starts over every week. Also, didn’t like the 1.2 inch display. No abnormal heart rate alerts like Garmin

[@Fozzee.1970]

Are you unhappy with Garmin then? If not it's irrelevant surely.

[@adamluthfie7]

Coros is better for training. And battery life But not for smart feature area

[@NickW90]

I went from an Apple Watch Ultra to a Garmin Marq adventure gen 2 and I’m loving my Garmin

[@slick_willie77]

you can disable the 321 on the Apple Watch. make a short cut. or just say hey Siri begin run work out.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@@slick_willie77 Great inputs 😄 The “hey siri” does not work for precision timing. Curious about the shortcut though 😄

[@kevinb6835]

What do you think on the Coros Pace 3 ? for Triathlon?

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@@kevinb6835 I’ve never tried any of the Coros watches yet, so I can’t say. I gotta try one at some point.

[@ralphdejoya0124]

you can't line it up to any fitness tracker with a trash battery, way too expensive

[@Grubengrabgeraet]

I want to switch to garmin because i hate to charge my watch every day ( its a f***ing watch) I love to do a lot of sport but i dont care all those numbers i just need the time and heartbeat. The only thing i hate about the garmin is that it cant use an eSim. I mean its made tho walk/run whatever for days in nature but if you are in danger or need help you cant call any? What do you think should i switch

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

Garmin has a feature called “Emergency mode” or something like that - You can set it up to send your location to specific people of your choosing, when you are in danger - Even if it detects a crash it can do it automatically. I think it comes down to the smartwatch features.. IMO Apple Watch is superior when it comes to being a smartwatch with app connectivity and using it as an extension of your iPhone. But if you only need it for fitness data, I love Garmin and think they are a much better Sport Watch brand. Especially for endurance training.

[@Grubengrabgeraet]

@@NicklasRossnerPT Ok but the Emergency mode works only with the connected phone right? I usually dont carry my phone with me while running thats why i wearing a watch

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@@Grubengrabgeraet No if you often go without your phone I would go with something that had cellular. This is what I could find about the Garmin: support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=RfaXahBWkH8Q7pVFLsuUmA I hope it helps 🙂

[@JustBrowsing777]

I find the Garmin a pretty poor watch to track strength training. But I'll never be an Apple guy. I have been a bit disappointed with my Garmin Epix 2 for several reasons. Now that I am also looking into a bicycle computer, I really want to make sure I invest into the right eco system. Garmin covers everything but I am unsure if I should swap or go with Garmin...

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

@@JustBrowsing777 It’s a tough one. I use Garmin as my cycling computer and power meter. Really love it.

[@user-ij8no5zw6u-]

Funny I stopped using my OH1 / OH1+ bands because Garmin was the same or even more accurate as a HR monitor. Apple watch should be better.

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

I guess its really individual how well different gadges fits the person 😄

[@matevzbanko1395]

What headphones do you use?

[@NicklasRossnerPT]

I use some called Miiego AL3+. I prefer over ear when I’m running 😊

@@NicklasRossnerPT Thanks, I have not been able to find quality headphones in this style before. Just ordered these :)

[@li2uo]

The apple watch needs an apple phone 🤦 so it's a no contest. Garmin wins.

[@sugreeva7]

My pleasure. I just found out about a month ago.

[@Robert1187]

It’s all subjective. People will get what they like or want. They can’t make decisions based on someone elses POV! That’ll be very cringy and sad to not have a mind of your own😂

[@slumdog1987]

Sorry Garmin guys, but I simply can’t live without apple watch. Garmin can only be secondary watch for me

[@brianmunday8182]

That's fine, when you seriously start working out, get a sport watch. Garmin is nit a smart watch
