Diary of a Fitness Watch Addict. My name is Joe and I am a fitness watch addict. So far I have owned a Garmin Vivoactive 4, Garmin Venu, Huawei GT 2 (2 of them), Fitbit Blaze, Galaxy Active 2, Apple SE, and a host of watches for under $100 that promise the world (but give very little.)
Lets talk.....
Garmin watches. Neither Garmin watch that I owned could ply music direct to earbuds. No matter what I tried. For some reason, everytime I tried to set this feature uo, it failed. It will get you outside though becuase you have to go out there and gain GPS coordinates in order to listen to music. I don't know why; as an addict I just did as directed. It never worked. I purchases earbuds Garmin suggested and....nothing. Every once in a whil It would work, but only briefly and then,,,,,time to go outside again. The Vivoactive screen is as washed out as any I have ever seen. Battery life is metsa-metsa and that is if you don't do much. I imagine if I was able to get music it would have cut the battery life even more. The venu has a much better screen; however, the cost in battery life is significant.
Garmin watches remind me of Microsoft computers. Spend more time diddling with them then using them. Sold mine on eBay.
The Huawei GT 2. Now there is a watch. Well made, beautiful to look at, battery life forever, syncs music flawlessly. I would love to have kept this watch. Unfortunately I don't live in China where this watch works. In the usa this watch will only count active calories and is extremely arbitrary and capricous regarding how many you are going to get. Frustrating as hell. Don't bother with customer service. When you tell them you are in the US you will be sent to HOLD purgatory. The one thing that this watch could do is estimate treadmill distance. I mean accurate to 1/50th of a mile. Garmin was 10 percent off every 1/4 mile and no matter how many times I would enter stridelength or the correct distance traveled on the treadmills display it would again display a significant error. Like I said, if you like dicking around with your fitness watch.
Fitbits Fitbits. I lost 50 lbs when my wife bought me one of their first models. That wrist-wife had me up walking at night to finish my goals before midnight. Now...eh...I mean monthly Fitbit fees. I don't think so.
Galaxy active 2. Here is a watch that does everything/nothing. Again, if you like dicking with watches. First is the calorie counting which is horrible on every watch I have had. This watch is so horrible at it that, wven though it is monitoring heatrate and Sp02 your results are a joke. Don't believe me. Take the watch off, start a workout, and watch the unearned calories start adding even though you are doing nothing. A million workouts to choose from. Try adding boxing or a host of other workouts to the watch. Not going to happen! Also, because their calorie counting is so flawed they removed total calories burned from the watch so you can't view them. Sold mine on eBay.
So, let me save you. The Apple watch SE. Thank you God! Battery life is crap and promised to be crap so no disappointment. Syncs to Apple SE phone flawlessly; like without your help. Every workout is listed and has a specialized formula for calorie count that is amazingly accurate. Frankly I am so happy with this watch I could go on for hours. So if you feel that you are burning 300 calories a day in frustration sweat while you are trying to get your newest fitness watch to monitor your health, try the apple. Pay a little more save yourself the aggrivation.

It great! Def the one to get.
I upgraded from the series 3 as it just didn’t have enough memory to keep doing updates.The watch is much clearer and a total upgrade.I’ll update more but I included a picture with a size comparison of the 40 and the 44. For my wrist the 40 was totally fine. I used it for a few days and was good with it. I noticed the 44 was on sale on Amazon and decided to buy from them. I think the 40 is a fine size though. I ultimately am keeping the 44 because of the deal I got. The bigger size is nice to see the camera app to take timed photos, read texts, etc.I really like the voice to text option offered on the watch. I walk my dog often and this gives me access to my messages without needing to pull out my phone and hold the leash with the other. I also like receiving all of my notifications on my wrist. It has been great for the pandemic when we aren't wanting to contaminate all of our stuff by pulling our phones in and out. There is a handwash timer built in which is cool as it reminds me when I get home to wash my hands and it also times it for 20 seconds. The 20 second timer isn't all that accurate and quits in the middle sometimes because it assumes you stopped washing but overall a good idea that will probably continue to be updated.I have been doing the apple fitness + which is part of the latest apple watch OS. It was offered as a free trial since I bought a watch during the holiday season. It works much quicker with the SE than it did with the 3. I am enjoying the various exercises that I am able to do during a time when we can't go to a gym. These workouts are probably more in the "beginner" range but I am really enjoying the "HIIT" and "Dance"
