    Depends on if you want a really good smart watch with decent fitness capabilities or really good fitness capabilities in a decent smart watch.

    imo- if you got an iphone- go with apple watch. otherwise, you just won't be able to do certain stuff with your iphone on the others because Apple.

    if you got android- i'd try to find a good used, or new unopened, Pebble. the company is dead now, but the watches are still incredible when it comes to battery life and customization.

    Ive had a garmin and an apple watch. The apple watch is functional enough but the battery life is annoyingly short. If you take advantage of all the features, you have to charge it every night basically

    The garmin worked well and had a longer battery life but that thing is godawful ugly. Looks like a computer on your arm. Despite that, I’d still choose it over the apple watch for functionality.
