Thank you! This was a very well made and informative video. I was looking at different trackers and reviews and all of the different information had my head spinning.

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SergeyKonoplev]

🔥Was just googling one for surfing and other watersports yesterday, good timing 😁

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Great, hope you like it!

[@v_mud]

Very good video, I am using multiple so quite confused how to get 1 that works for all 😂 but figured from your video there’s nothing yet

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Yeah, exactly. I think it will also be a trade-off between specialization of trackers and their universal use.

Xiaomi is king!

Hi, I'm doing gym work outs and will do cycling soon. Been looking at garmin 45, any help would be appreciated.

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Garmin is great, and they have multiple options. So, just decide which workouts you need to track, and then select the tracker that covers those activities the best.

[@Kslater23]

In your opinion is the Garmin Vivoactive 3 for seniors accurate in terms of steps? is this simple enough that a senior can use easily?

[@PracticalHealthNow]

I think it's ok, basically as good as all other trackers, since they all use the same sensors and more or less the same algorithms. Regarding using it, I think it's simple, but some help in setting it up might be needed.

Thank you, I am doing my best to preserve it :)
