I tweeked the settings without using "low power mode" and was able to ride a Century ride and the battery was fine. I really like the audible HR zone coaching and the lap splits. But it lacked some typical data like total distance not as a split

I'll wait for ultra, you're one of few people that I can rely before purchasing garmin or AW.

I agreed that that HR on  watch was on point

Basically its the depth review and comparison to other devices... great job man

Thank you great review! One question: does Apple (or a secondary app) for metrics like Garmin does - training status, recovery time and load? Merci!!

I’ve had this watch for almost 2 weeks now. I’m honestly frustrated at the inconsistency of a lot of things not working like they should.

When your showing the data from the watch, maybe make the background the thing that you’re tracking instead of a white screen. Also, Sleep tracking has good data but it doesn’t show if you were recovered or you had a good night it just gives you the data. I would like a wellness/readiness score.

I have a Wyze watch to track my steps and other activities. It is a great watch and does everything I need very well, The battery lasts a full week or more. I was considering the Apple Watch but the short battery life in comparison to the Wyze seems annoying.

Props for the review! Question so with workouts in watchOS 8 on the first page where it has minutes, heart rate, distance, pace, etc. you could scroll down with the dial and highlight each one of those categories in a different color, so when you start a workout now you can’t do that anymore when you scroll down, you can’t highlight what you wanna look at in the different color anymore? Is there any way to do it?

Great review thanks so much, there’s one thing not covered by anyone yet as far as I know, the cardio data. I just got the Series 8 and would like to track my cardio data but I’m not sure if I need to use a separate app in conjunction with the watch or is the watch capable to do this already?

It’s much brighter than my Nike Series 5. When is the Nike Series 8 coming out and will there be new Nike faces?

Great review! I am skeptical about your comment on Apple Maps. I sometimes meet people with IPhones who get lost in our woods, and I recently had the chance to check Apple Maps - old data and almost no trails in our woods are included (Northern Germany) - so I prefer a watch which can use many types of maps, especially OSM derivatives (which are great here)!

Thanks for another great review. Can the watch pair with bike power meter?

I don't' really care about the car crash feature or the temperature sensor since I don't ovulate. I opted to go with a refurbished series 7 that was only $550 on the apple store website, upgrading from my series 4 that I got new. My only complaint is that I REALLY love the space black color of the series 4 and 5 on the stainless steel case. Not sure how I will feel about the graphite. And if I decide to get into more extreme sports, maybe I'll get the ultra as a backup.

Hi Des, thank you for another great review! Allow me to seek your advice. Am currently using Garmin 745, like other people, i have most of the Apple devices and would like to stick to the Apple ecosystem. Do you know if the WatchOS 9 running workout has the same voice alert like Garmin 745 (e.g. every 1km, etc). Thanks

I have been upgraded yearly since the launch. but s8 is not worth me upgrading at all

My Apple Watch 7 always has 50% battery left at the end of the day. Very impressive.

Hi there, thank you very much for your review. I am a runner and after having used Garmin watches for 10+ years, I am thinking of switching to an Apple watch 8. Since I don't have an iPhone though, do you think I am going to have any issues regarding the athletic data, Strava integration etc?

I really want to replace my 7 because of a nasty scratch but I don't know if the 8 is worth it. I think ideally I would get the stainless version but they cost as much as the Ultra so if I did get one it would be the Ultra.

How about night brightness? Did they raise that from the 7 ? Just not bright enough and no adjustment to raise it to a level needed

Hey guys hoping you could help in the comments here. So I currently have a Apple Watch Series 6 and wanted to upgrade. The choices are currently Garmin venu 2 plus vs Apple Watch series 8. Torn between the two but the only thing that bothers me is the battery life on the Apple Watch. I think features are great but I feel like I need to be carrying a charger with me constantly. Also like sleep tracking means that I need to charge it up before bedtime and again after a workout in the day. Am I right in my assumption? On the other hand garmin gives me the option to wear it for days workout and sleeping without the need to recharge. The question is really will the battery hold up on the Apple Watch? Also how are people finding the integration with iPhone? Seeing as apple closes off lots of things

I love how apple implements features that are incredibly accurate. Unlike samsung implementing all sorts of gimmick only to have it not enabled on product release or there is always the disclaimer in all its health feature.

In terms of the battery, I think the improvements probably come from watch os 9 hopefully someone does a comparison video between the two watches.

I prefer apple due to the cellular feature. I like going for a run without the phone. Nothing but my watch.

How is the average time for the split reading calculated? Example: My splits are 1 mile. After 1 mile I get a notification to my headphones saying "Split 1 8:30, Average 8:30". Mile 2 may read something like "Split 2 8:35, Average 8:36". The reading for the average doesn't make sense for the average pace of the current split or overall average, so how is it calculated?

I’m looking for a watch I could wear for adventure motorcycles and dirt bike riding. Any suggestions.

on the heart rate monitor, does this check 24/7 and does it put that info in a graph for my dr. to see? I got a versa 2 and am taking it back to best buy to get this watch if it has everything I need or the sense 2 fitbit trying to decide.....hard ......
