Garmin
4.5
(102)
"I recommend this watch."
"Garmin gives you way more statistics for free."
"I love Garmin! It stays charged for over a week. I have a Garmin Venu 3s."
"I have a garmin forerunner 55 that was $169USD. I love it and I have very small wrists too."
"Garmin. I have the Garmin Lily. Love the body battery feature."
"I adore my Garmin. I had too many Fitbits over the years die on me, or start to glitch out. The garmin is solidly built and has more data (and free) within its app that Fitbit wants you to get the premium app and pay for."
"I have not found an app that utilizes strava live segments on the Apple Watch the way a garmin can."
"Even with WatchOS Beta 11, I still find the Garmin next level for overall fitness tracking."
"I agree, I have an Epix Pro and an AWU, I wear my AWU 98% of the time, I only wear my Epix for big adventures when I need off the grid comprehensive mapping with GPX files."
"I have a fenix 6 pro and it hasn't let me down once."

Apple

"It’s fantastic. Don’t think it could be bettered by a AW 3?"
"The AWU2 is great."
"The ultra2 with cellular just gives that piece of mind when I am out on my own running."
"The watch ultra has no realistic competitor on the market, it’s way better than everything else."
"Another benefit I didn't appreciate until recently is live tracking."
"Can’t go wrong with Apple Watch."
"They just work, I have a few medical issues and this watch handles my needs really well"
"HR zones are almost 100% accurate, tons of different bands for comfort."
"It's been the best."
"Best in class for sure."

"Purchased my first watch (Fitbit Inspire 3, also a cheaper Fitbit model) to start collecting data during workouts."
"I love every bit of its health tracking."
"I have had a fitbit sense for a couple years. I love it. It's pretty accurate when I take my heart rate with medical grade monitors."
"I have the Fitbit sense! I love it. It can even do ECG scans."
"I just got a FitBit Luxe for this exact purpose (newly diagnosed!) . I love it and it's on sale right now for 80 bucks."
"Last year I got a free Fitbit Charge 5."
"I got a fitbit versa 2 used from eBay and use the HR pacing app, which alerts me when my HR is at AT."
"I’ve had a few and i like my fitbit charge 6 a lot!"
"I just use premium strava and a basic Fitbit."
"I’ve tried both the Fitbit charge 5 and the Apple Watch series 9 and both were fairly accurate for me."

"Go for Samsung, it’ll be the best in budget."

"I am using a Samsung Watch 6. It's working great, and I've been able to lose weight."
"Affordable, accurate and looks nice."
"I've been very happy with Samsung watches as well."
"Check for any remaining Galaxy Watch 4 deals that fit your budget. It's got the latest WearOS, a sleek modern look... perfect for controlling music, and you can completely forget about the fitness stuff - that said, it's features are nearly at the top of the class right now."
"Refurbished Galaxy 4"
"I love the watch and it is great daily and great for runs or other outdoor activities."
"I wear a Samsung Classic 6 for side by side comparison and the Heart rate vary consistently between both up to 20 bpms."

"I would suggest amazfit ones"
"I have a bip5 as my first 'smart' watch and quite like it."
"Check out Amazfit watches. Cheap but good enough fitness trackers."
