These Aren't Your Typical Smartwatches

[@MobiusCoin]

There's a weird confluence of worlds when you are both a tech guy and watch guy and you're watching this from both perspectives. When Michael said that the Garmin was expensive, my watch brain was expecting something like 10k. Oh okay, less than an Oris Aquis. But my tech brain is like... no smart watch is worth that much, that's the price of a laptop.

[@harveyezihe]

Lol. I understand the confusion 😂

[@birtalanlorant5572]

Yep. I thought the same. "Expensive? By watch measures that's 5k on the lower end and everything above. In tech? 800$ and above." When I heard the pricetag (it's a cool watch tbh, looks like a Tag Heuer Calibre 16), my jaw just dropped. For 1500$ you can get an Oris Aquis Date, and for the 300$ remaining you can get that ticwatch pro 4g.

[@erichughes3987]

I feel you.

[@Trailminer]

Kind of related, but what would make a watch worth anything around 10k?

[@erichughes3987]

@@Trailminer sentimental value. Something that lasts generations. Brand name. Hundreds of years of hard work and knowledge. I wouldn't buy a watch like that. But I could see why some people would.

[@HellzHonour]

My favourite is still the Huawei Watch GT, looks wise.

[@Wfmike]

At that price it better be.

[@tomaskonkol8894]

Garmin its nice and still rocking F3HRS but Marq series its obsolete for me not because the price but for total separation of capabilities. Internally are these watches are same but you dont have same functionality by software and you cant download these specific applications. Garmin watches was always for active people and its now useless if i do paragliding and week later yachting and month later week in wild. Also that comparison its lite unfair for Garmin because you compare absolute top from Garmin. You could compare Fenix 5 plus and which cost around 600usd and will left Casio and China in dust.

[@marsen23]

I love Xiaomi Amazfit Pace because the battery lasts for two weeks. Transreflective display makes it visible direct to sunlight. It's cheap and has a long battery life.

[@gabrielleung7136]

As a watch enthusiast I really do understand the appeal of smartwatches, but like Michael said, I would never spend money on a watch that'll be obsolete in a few years. If you liked the look of the Garmin check out the Longines Hydroconquest. You'll save a grand and it'll last a lifetime.

"But in the digital world, where things become obsolete so quickly?" Is it that I immediately thought of our friend Haime Rivera? Also, great video my friend. PS: Sorry for butchering his name hihi

[@Spills51]

I agree and disagree...If your looking for 3 years or so out of a smartwatch then I think that is perfectly fine...Even 5 if they are willing to simply update the firmware etc, which seems more then reasonable for an electronic watch.

[@hojomo]

Thanks for the Sunday smiles from this one Michael - we don't see enough of you - presumably because of that crammed diary - hope you actually got to SEE the ePrix in NYC, not just the BMWs 😉

[@TheSizNation]

If the MARQ Captain is too pricey, check out the Quatics. Honestly, Garmin has a wide range of watches at various price points. This is definitely on the high-end, but was designed to be that way. The resolution is low to improve battery life. The features and gorgeous design are where the price comes in. The Hauwei GT is the sweet spot though.

[@terrygujjar999]

Totally agree, a smartwatch over $1500.00 is not worth buying. This is an age where smartwatches are introduced almost every quarter so not sure if investing this kind of money on a smartwatch is going to be a smart move.

[@nishantsaloki]

Good video mate. I am happy with with my Samsung gear sport which serves every need of mine. And looks pretty too.

[@sis651]

To see the amount of RAM on the device, switch it off. Then press hold Down button and power on the watch, later it'll switch to a kind of service menu where it displays the amount of RAM it has and some other info with many hardware tests...

[@purposelygaming]

1,850 😲😲 I nearly fell off my chair. When you said expensive I was thinking 800 max 😳

[@azazelone905]

Matt Tyler bro... I hear you. I really really love the MARQ expedition. Beautiful. But it’s 2400$ CAD up here in Canada. Yes... that’s 2400$ bones. + 13% tax... That’s 2712$ dollars. No way. Sorry garmin

[@stefangantz8658]

Garmon what watch is

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

Still hoping someone makes a hybrid watch of sorts that allows some basic fitness tracking, aand swappable watch faces. I don’t want notifications or apps, I just want a super customizable watch that can also track my day to day stuff.

[@shanthoshsomasunthar]

I'm surprised that you haven't tried Skagen Falster 2. Agreed it's not a drastically different smartwatch, but it's the kind of watch that wins looks over everything else.

[@Anmaghiz]

1.850 $ i didn't saw that one coming. I mean the "1" in front of 850. If it was capable of having all the necessary tech that a daily user might need. I would've considered buying it. Especially with that exceptional battery life.

[@pj4433]

I love my fenix 6x I’d upgrade tommorow to a marq. But I’m having issues because basically functionality is almost identical to my 6x at less than half price. I don’t see double the money in that case and strap.

[@LordTechPro]

The Casio Pro Trek is amazing!

[@Sidrinzler]

You might be surprised to know that if a wear OS watch is laggy then just turn off the Auto Brightness. And AoD on with Raise to Wake off is the best way to get a bit of additional battery life.

[@Major_Mason]

I can't wait to get my Fitbit Versa. So tired of changing watch batteries! (I have a small collection or armitrons).

[@japzone]

Just be careful. I have a friend that had his Fitbit watch die twice on him in just over a year, and apparently replacements don't reset the warranty clock so they wouldn't help him the second time it happened. Pissed him off so much he switched to Garmin.

[@Spills51]

As with the other response post I would recommend getting the extended warranty from squaresoft (I believe its $40 if you get it initially, 50 if within a month) so instead of a 1 year warranty you get a 2 year. Unless you tend to flip fitness trackers every year or so. The Versa is a decent watch for fitness, not so much as a smartwatch. Get is on sale for $170 or so...But I wouldn't pay $200 cause there is always someplace that is running a sale for them. I had the Versa but then returned it for the Ionic cause it was on sale for $200. Again, decent Fitness Tracker, decent build, not a great smartwatch.

[@TurreTuntematon]

My partner loves her Garmin D2 Charlie aviator watch. She uses it all the time to track her flights with complete precision, and uses the track with CloudAhoy and FlightAware to plot the trip so she can review it with her instrument rating instructor. It's a great watch and cost less than HALF what the Captain cost you. I'm still muddling along with my Ticwatch Pro. The only thing I don't like about it isn't Mobvoi's fault -- Google stopped supporting the Hangouts app, so I can't see my chat history past February 19th. And I haven't figured out how to replace Hangouts on the bottom button with some other app they DO support. Annoying.

[@TheMrMobile]

Thanks for the heads-up on that D2 Charlie! Looks like a beaut.

[@JennyEverywhere]

@@TheMrMobile And just a heads-up on my favorite Ticwatch Pro app -- StayLit Wear. The biggest issue I had with the two-layer screen was that you couldn't change the length of time the OLED screen would be visible before it would switch to the low-power LCD. But StayLit Wear lets you change the length of time before the LCD is activated! Instead of the default 5 seconds, I have it currently set to 15 seconds! It doesn't hit the battery too hard, and I can read all of those intricate little details on some of my watchfaces, including the Google Maps navigation watchface. Most useful app I have for the TicWatch Pro. (I don't have any relationship with the company, and I bought my own copy.)
