Hi everyone,
I’m considering purchasing my first Apple Watch this year. I’ve worn a garmin for years and while it isn’t the most versatile when it comes to tech features, it is the top fitness tracking company out there.
Question is has anyone made the switch from Garmin to Apple? How did the AW compare to the Garmin on heart monitoring, sleep monitoring, stress monitoring? Was it easier to track workouts?
With the new series 9 out now is it worth getting the series 9 or the cheaper series 8?
My main draw to the AW is actually the loud noise detection. I have chronic tinnitus from loud noise exposure so have that notification would be helpful, but I actually want buttons on my watch lol.
Anyways any insights would be greatly appreciated.
I went from Garmin to Apple. I wanted an iPad bc they are imo the best tablets and got a new iPhone and watch at the same time to have everything on the same platform. So far, happy with the iPad, meh on the phone (prefer google) and the watch is fine for fitness with the addition of WorkOutDoors, and it’s nice to have such a variety of watch bands, but Garmin was a better fitness watch. Better battery, maps, equal on notifications from the phone.
