Detailed Analysis of Everything
I have to admit, this watch is kind of amazing. My son has been after me to switch from FitBit to Garmin for a couple of years now, but I was hesitant. Familiarity kept me from switching. Got this on Prime Day and the analysis and breakdown of every measurement is amazing. Where other programs want a Premium subscription for in depth analysis, this watch provides tons of data already built in. The sleep data breakdown is amazing. There is a "Body Battery" that provides an indication of how much energy you likely have left to finish the day, and it is eerily accurate. I've only been wearing it a week so all of the features haven't even kicked in but, those that have are incredible. I've seen reviews that say it is large and heavy, and I have to agree however, it really doesn't matter unless you have a tiny wrist. It feels like a quality machine, which it is. Heart Rate analysis, Breathing and Respiration analysis, exercise breakdowns and options, are all detailed and informative. That doesn't even scratch the surface of the statistics it provides. The number of activities it is capable of measuring can give you analysis paralysis just trying to decide. Health Stats, Performance Stats, programs for Training and Race Planning, Race predictions, gear mileage tracking (shoes, etc), and insights to compare your performance to other similar athletes, just to provide an overview. My son says Garmin is for athletes and FitBit is for Mall walkers. Now I get it. So far, I have used it for treadmill, rowing machine, and strength training. I'm looking forward to getting it outside for a run to see some new stats pop up. I've barely delved into what it can do and I'm excited to do more. You get plenty of rest breaks throughout the day just going through the analysis of your exercise and statistics. It's definitely more interesting and more beneficial than any time wasted on social media.If I had to provide negatives, I will concede it is heavy and large but, that is likely necessary accommodate the battery that lasts for weeks, not days. The solar function supposedly extends the battery life but I have barely used 20% in the last week so I can't say what the impact actually is. There is also a certain amount of sticker shock that was only partially assuaged by the Prime Day deal. I do wish it would sync directly with my Renpho scale as I don't intend to pay another $150 for a Garmin scale. Synching through a third-party app has been mostly unsuccessful so far. Initially I questioned the accuracy of the stair count, but that seems to be improving. A detailed user's manual would be very helpful as well, but I'm having fun discovering new things pretty much daily.My guess is that if you purchase this watch you will not be disappointed. If you haven't noticed, I am very impressed and that is not the norm for me. I tend to be hyper critical of high dollar items. If you can get past the sticker shock, I would definitely recommend checking out a Fenix 7x. Did I mention it has a flashlight built in? Kind of blew me away as well, but it is an LED and provides a good amount of light for being tiny and barely noticeable. You kind of have to see it to believe it (get it, flashlight, see it.... oh well). It's definitely worth checking out.Ver másVer menos
