Missed your reviews good to see you back

My garmin venu 2 is going strong now for 2 years. As someone who wants to detach from my phone, the venu is perfect and notifies me of any work email or pings, but doesn't have the unnecessary features such as a mic and speaker, which results in me getting 10 days of battery life.

Got me a Garmin Venu Sq2 about a month or two ago. It's Android compatible, stylish, got smartphone notifications, GPS is accurate for runs, and it tracks multiple activities, monitors your sleeping activity, battery last 10 days and charges up to 100% very quickly. For an avid casual runner and soccer/football player who's into gym, this is it for me. Plus the price is killer.

Great video!👍

Nice sum up for a tricky topic

Love your videos Lexie, please don’t go anywhere

Thank you Lexi

Garmin or nothing. ⌚ Not the smartest watch, but it does inspire to improve lifestyle, tracks and analyses sports like no other. With a battery that lasts.

I like watches that dont connect to the internet LOL, but still these are dope bc it furthers the development of technology

Most smartwatches give you an option of setting the wrist on which you want to wear your watch. Is there a difference in the hrm accuracy and step accuracy when you wear ot on on one wrist vs the other?

Thank you Lexi for your uplifting spirit and disposition. I am looking for a watch that has a display of time with seconds, all the time. I do not need it for sports, just time, sleep monitoring, pulse, etc. It could be a hybrid. Any suggestions?

You are definitely not the first person who has asked me that question over the years and I’m still trying to find a good option! Always on displays generally don’t show seconds to save battery. Most hybrid watches I know of also don’t have a second hand either. I’d look into Withings watches further to see if maybe you could use the little display as a second counter

I love my Watch Ultra. My wife loves her Watch Series 7. My son loves his Watch SE

Should have a video about the companion app because that would also make a big difference in user experience in terms of how well they are and what metrics are provided without paying for premium accounts.

Coming from galaxy active2 galaxy watch5 both LTE versions i love both of my smart watches ❤

For smart watches i prefer the physical face dial over the crown and touch screen

So beautiful and great video ❤

Hi I’m really lost about which Harmon should I buy I really wanted an apple But like you said the charge factor was a bigi Not much of an exerciser ,but visiting the gym studio from time to time and generally my sleep track and health are important in my eyes Hope and thanks for your answer Second hand is also an option

Had a Apple Watch since series 0 was released, still to this day i have never bothered to download a app, they all (The apps) seem a bit useless to me. I just use it for the notifications, calls and fitness tracking.

I seriously was considering getting an Oura ring but tech reviews always mentions the subscription service thing. Was turned off by that.

I have an iphone 15 but looking for an alternate to apple watch, to buy, any suggestions

Having owned an Apple Watch, Pixel watch and currently on the Galaxy watch 6 there's honestly not much in it for the majority of people it will really come down to preference and operating system compatibility.

It should come down to accuracy if your are health conscious. This is the same for productivity focused people. The Apple watch is the only watch that is comparable to the Polar 10, which is the gold standard in Heart Rate and fitness data. No, watch comes close.

Good device

Garmin sportswatch all the way. Though, if I could access Apple notes, I would consider an Apple Watch.

Would love to see more on the Amazfit watches. They never get much attention on these bigger pages.

Hey Lexi, I've seen Samsung watched with a blood pressure monitor outside of the US but it seems like they don't have approval for America. Will that be added on later to the 6 classic? Which would be the best for also tracking Blood Pressure if I'm on a Samsung Galaxy phone? Thanks and keep up the good work ❤

Lexi, have you ever tried a watch that takes blood glucose readings? I've seen inexpensive ones on Amazon. Also, any idea if apple will be putting out a watch with BG monitoring in the next few years?

I have not! Be careful with any readings it gives you as they are not medical devices, always check with your doctor.

I recently bought Galaxy Watch5 44mm version with LTE for 160$ (it was the last stock of watches in the store), I'm pretty okay with it but I might want to return it and buy Watch4 Classic for the same price, I love the rotating bezel and it's more practical than digital bezel, plus it looks way better what do you think?

Both! 😂 (honestly)

I have both the Apple Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic; both work well with their respective ecosystem but I think the Apple Watch Ultra takes the cake as the smart watch king (like a true smart watch, not something you just get notifications and has no full app support like my Garmin, which is a different category). I notice and have seen from different sources that the sensors on the GWC6 is just… bad like super inaccurate. There’s a whole video that breaks it down.

Cool no mention of Huawei they last up to 2 weeks .

@e3vL1 Your suggestion is fine. But taking it off and putting it on so frequently hits the pain point of wearables. The main point is to leave it on and only take it off at the end of the day to maybe get a charge. Don't you agree that it's easier to take a device out of your pocket rather than unbuckling something of your wrist? I feel like smartwatches nowadays act like a "extension" of the phone experience. Such that u don't have to take out your phone everytime for simpler stuff like notifications or workouts etc.

I don’t know how Apple Watch SE became so hit still it is not a watch self without AOD!!!!!

Team Android. Most smart watches and fitness trackers work well with Android phones. But if you have an Apple Watch, you're stuck with the iPhone.

@superiortoall22

Most fitness trackers work well with iPhones as well; I would not mix and match different manufacturers watches and phones even on Android, reduced battery life and lack of features. I guess you can do it if you really want but that’s like when Samsung tried to allow iOS users to use Galaxy watches on their iPhone, it worked but it was just a mess.

Apple watch SE 2 is the best !!!!

i got my Apple Watch Ultra a month ago for 40% of its original price 2nd hand on our country with still complete packaging and no dents and scratches.. its still like brand new except the Trailloop Band that needed a wash Edit : the watch is still under apple warranty until January 2024, not bad i guess

You do not need any of these. The motivation to do exercise is intrinsic. A watch is not going to give the push to do actual exercise to anybody. A watch will only show the number of steps taken without doing dedicated exercise activity and people will grow more content to avoid exercise.

Ever heard the term gamification? Simply seeing numbers, clear goals and how you compare to others can help a lot to be motivated. These can help you build some healthy habits.
