Many people use smart watches to exercise and record their physical status immediately. Which one should I buy? A PTT netizen posted a question and found out that the recommendation was not the most popular Apple Watch, but Garmin.
The netizen said that because his father became obsessed with triathlon after retirement, he wanted to buy a watch to facilitate his elders to record exercise data. He was not sure whether to choose the Garmin Forerunner 965 or the Apple Watch Series 9. As soon as the post came out, netizens who replied almost unanimously recommended Garmin, thinking it is the only choice for sports.
Many netizens pointed out that the battery life gap alone is a big problem. “People who exercise need to charge their Apple Watch at least twice a day, otherwise it will run out of power after running a half marathon in the morning and in the afternoon. If you turn on GPS recording while riding a bicycle, it will be charged at least twice a day.” You have to charge it.” “I used Garmin 955 and only lost 10% of the battery after running a half marathon. I usually run 3-5 days a week, which is enough for a week.” “The Apple Watch is completely unusable with 40% left after using it for half a day.”
In addition, there is also a gap in the richness of data. “If you really want exercise data seriously, you can only use Garmin.” “Appale Watch is great for measuring.” “There are many times more things that can be measured.” Much better.”
Although Apple Watch is not as rich as Garmin watches in terms of sports data, Apple has a stronger ecosystem advantage. Not only does the UI interface operate smoothly, it can also interact more with mobile phones and tablets, or make electronic payments. It is relatively rich in functions, and many netizens also believe that Apple Watch is also a good choice just for daily carrying.
