Rob, so the REAL question is...after ALL this time...WHY is the Apple Watch, still untouchable. For many of us NOT in the Apple ecosystem THAT is a question that has never really been answered. Is it a question of sensor quality, layout, and software and why do other companies produce devices that after MANY years still can't compete? None of this has ever made any sense to me and I'll sure others feel the same way.

Thanks for sharing your testing! I've been in the Garmin ecosystem for years (and still have no reason to change). I trust my Garmin's HR data for steady state workouts, but if I'm doing intervals I know I either need to wear a chest strap or transition the intensity over 30-60s. I'm shocked at how well some of the other watches scored. Though, when I looked at your apple watch review to see why, it looks like it largely achieves this score by simply not recording HR samples if it is not confident, while the Garmin will continue to record samples even if the data is of questionable quality.

It would also be nice to compare the metrics available on different devices. Garmin has running power, body battery, stamina, training readiness, acute/chronic load, etc. Accurate heart rate monitoring is not great if you don’t have enough battery life to monitor your body 24/7, or if you can’t convert it into more usable statistics.

Hopefully you can give this same workout to the Epix Pro or Fenix Pro, so that we can have a sort of preview of what the Forerunner 975 will be with the new heart sensor. But one thing that stands out from this review is that Garmin continues to score when it comes to the UI, while Apple, supposedly the UI kings, has too much chaos and not enough integrated into a single app. In this case Apple has the hardware but Garmin, for now, still has the software. Apple Watch OS 10 will solve a lot of this but by no means not all of it.

thanks for the thorough testing.

Why do you say that sleep tracking REM is a disappointment? Is it inaccurate compared to other watches?

I think that it is also worth noting the longevity of watches, and battery life. In the past 10 plus years, I am still on my second Garmin watch. My FR 630 still lasts over 3 weeks on a single charge with smart notifications turned on, charges super fast, and was very accurate when I was running 50 plus miles a month before kids. Along with working two jobs and smart notifications turned on. I bought it refurbished for $75, it is still phenomenal. That said, my 965 arrives today, so I am very excited to have a new watch with all of the bells and whistles, and not need the chest strap to train in HR zones!

Have you tested the Garmin FR 935 ? It would be interesting to see if the older tech is worse or as good as the newer 965/955 tech. Great review BTW.

Ahhh. Data cannot lie. It's a good thing I use chest strap for work outs. I do hope we get to see the updated firmware review of 965. So far it was really accurate. Also, other metrics like HRV, training readiness and GPS accuracy are still topnotch when it comes to Garmin. For sleep monitoring, my opinion is that no watch will replace electrodes latched on your head while sleeping so don't rely on it too much.

Crazy results! I mostly use my Garmin Forerunner 965 for Outdoor Cycling. (Shaved area, wearing it fairly tight) and compared it to my Garmin HRM Dual Chest Strap. And riding it 7 times for more than 50km, i couldn't get it more than 3BPM off and that mostly because it is a bit slow picking it up, as you mentioned. The average Heart Rate was off every ride ±1BPM, without a direct hit. I just don't like the sleep tracking. It doesn't record naps, that's a shame!

Good video Rob! Can i request for huawei band 8? Thanks before that

Thanks for the great review, helped me make an informed decision. Especially liked the heart rate review with reference device. However, since GPS and mapping is an important feature in this watch perhaps you could improve this side of your reviews with a GPS reference device to see deviations. Some reviewers have reported that GPS accuracy deteriorates in city environments - could this be quantified? Also elevation tracking for mountain sports would be nice to get a reference device for since some devices are not very accurate and can create "spikes" in elevation data. I wonder if these spikes make the sports tracking performance metrics unreliable like distance travelled, calories, speed etc. In any case exceptional review!

Rob thanks for video. For the GPS tests were you using the multi band satellite setting or the unrepeatable SatIQ or reduced accuracy GPS only setting?

can you do the review on garmin 265/265s? Love your review so much :D

Thank you for the excellent scientific review, Rob! What do you think of the, "Body Battery", provided on most of these Garmin devices?

Thx for this extensive review. Garmin uses the sleep tracking to do their ‘training readiness’ , ‘stamina’ and ‘stress’ etc calculations/information. If it’s this inaccurate, that means the conclusions drawn within ‘training readiness’ and so on are also inaccurate (probably even worse). Some of the problems might be solved by using a chest strap, but then, to have more accurate data, you’ll need to wear one at nights as well. Another thing, i own an old apple watch model, good to see it’s more accurate than all of the garmins. I am using it with ‘always-on-screen’ off, the battery will last me 2 days, even when being at lower capacity (84%) these days. Not even close to garmins battery usage, but not as worse as some say here. Imho apples (lol) and oranges, as one is a sports watch and the other a smart watch. I hoped the 965 would be a food replacement for my old apple watch, but now i am not so sure.

Thanks for the very thorough research. But it would be much more useful to do this for swimming, along with the accuracy of distance tracking in the pool. Cycling with a watch on your hand does not make any sense (except for the usual rides). That is, for cycling, you will need a chest strap. In principle, it is also needed for running (especially for interval training).

Qualitative 💯💯💯✨🙌

Hey Rob, any chance you could do some analyses on calorie burning measurements for a selection of the fitness watches across a selection of sports? So many of them seem to give such different results, so it would be interesting to see some data on this. I guess it would be difficult to do requiring some specialised equipment, but just really hoping it might be possible!

This a great review. My only comment is that most "serious" runners/bikers will be wearing a chest strap and not relying on the wrist sensor for HR. Some of the other questions commenters have raised are of interest: Do Garmin reported VO2 max, Body Battery, Training Readiness correlate with objective measures? Thanks for your work!

That’s what I do. I have ME/CFS and there is a large community of us who find Body Battery and HRV Status useful to help us stay within our limits. When I go on a bike ride I use an H10 chest strap connected to my watch. That way I get consistent measures of my exertion while keeping BB and HRV. My trained scientist side is happy with this setup.

I’m considering replacing my Polar Vantage V2 with the Forerunner 965 or Apple Watch Ultra. I will continue to pair these watches with my Polar H10 for all cycling activities and outdoor running activities. My goal is to get the same multi data sets and trends from a watch as good as my Vantage V2 that has broken. Plus I already use Garmin Edge 840 and 130 on my bikes and use the Rally XC power meter pedals. Later I will also be buying the Wahoo trainer. What is your opinion for the best watch?

Tks, Rob! When it comes to heart rate, which watch do you think is the most accurate? Polar Vantage V3 or Garmin Forerunner 965? I run on the street and also cycle, so for me it's very important to have a watch with an excellent GPS and heart rate measurement. I watched your review of the Vantage 3 and was disappointed by the watch's findings. But I've also heard that the 965's heart rate measurement isn't so good, so I'm confused about which watch model to buy.

To be fair, most people who invest in this watch are triathletes or long distance runners and the most important thing for them is battery life and mapping. Garmin excels in these areas.

My experience so far is that it's great at everything ... except the sleep algorithm is poor - it will think you're asleep after getting up for a piss in the morning and laying in bed again - even if you're wide awake and fiddling with your phone. It seems to 'expect' certain patterns and then won't correct itself when the data doesn't match.

About your other question: heart rate is discussed in this video, in my experience the Oura Ring is quite good for temperature. I have to admit that step count has been something I have been testing less lately. Most devices are good at counting steps when you walk, but some count many "false" steps when you are not walking

I’d like to watch video explaining what is known about sleep states and health quality, how much is really ‘known’, backed by data. Is it known if getting lots of light sleep can make up for some loss of REM sleep? Do different people have large differences in the amount of REM sleep they need?

Really cool review, Garmin is doing great products with no forced monthly membership, I have a Venu 2s, I like it. This model looks better but it is a bit more thick and I find my venu2s already quite thick to sleep with it. Thumb up for the video 👍

I'd love to see an analysis of the VO2 max score. Some other videos seems to suggest Garmin measures 5-10 units too high compared to lab tests.

VO2 max is not an actual measurement on these watches, its just a prediction based on age/speed/hr etc. So its pretty much useless data. "Garmin measures 5-10 units too high" - it really depends it can be lower, so that's why its very misleading

Did you see Shervin and others? They are pretty much spot on. 1 ~2 difference if I recall. Both Apple and Garmin are great devices in that department and get near identical results.

Bro, if someone wants to buy most accurate non-Apple BP monitor watch or band then what devices you will suggest? Please guide as I need them for my elderly parents. Thanks and regards.

Please, do a review of Amazfit falcon!!

which is more accurate apple watch 8 or garmin hrm pro?

Seldom using watch HR monitor. Would be great to compare HRM pro+ vs H10

Please do Garmin Fenix 7 Pro next. It's supposed to have the best HR ever amongst Garmin watches.

Pease test the new Garmin fenix 7 pro with new HR sensor.

I watched your Venu 2 Plus video and compared the Correlation (R) values you had plotted on the graph for the Venu 2 Plus with the Forerunner 965 for heart rate tracking. Can you please explain why the Venu 2 Plus is listed better overall than the Forerunner 965 when it has lower Correlation (R) values for two of the three categories (except running since you did not test the Venu 2 Plus for running, Forerunner 965 has R = 0.88)?. For indoor biking (spinning) you had the Venu 2 Plus R = 0.84, for the Forerunner 965 you have the R = 0.92 which is better than the Venu 2 Plus. For cycling outside you had the Venu 2 Plus R = 0.72, for the Forerunner 965, R = 0.68, which is slightly worse than the Venu 2 Plus. For weight lifting Venu 2 Plus had R = 0.64, for the Forerunner 965, R = 0.77, which is again better than the Venu 2 Plus. Why then is the Venu 2 Plus better overall in heart rate tracking than the Forerunner 965 on your overall chart?

I just realized that the overall chart is not overall for everything combined, it's the overall for that specific category such as spinning, outdoor biking and weight lifting and I looked at tit again carefully and the Venu 2 Plus is indeed lower than the Forerunner 965 in those charts. The only chart that confused me was the outdoor cycling chart in which case the Venu 2 Plus is indeed better than the Forerunner 965 and I thought that was the overall combined chart.

Did you spend time with the 265/S as well? And would they fair very similarly?

@@mrsmokingskittles148 Yep 👍 Understand that. But I am curious how much improvement the readings will be with the 265/S being smaller sized and lighter

If apple can get their crap together and offer even deeper metrics… maybe even offer physical buttons. I would switch from garmin. Although ill miss the battery life and ruggedness. the aw ultra can really do damage to their market share.

I'm wondering if some of the variances between Garmin watches with the same sensors is due to software(and may have changed with sw updates), example the venu 2 plus seems to perform worse than FR965 for HR and sleep tracking but has basically the same sensors.

Software, weight, size and fit of the watch, what kind of strap it uses, how it fits your wrist specifically. All x factors that are difficult to factor out with a small sample size

I use the 955 and 966 with a elastic velcro strap, and both are within +/- 1% from my HR pro band reading in running sport
