Pros
- It meets all the criteria for a sports watch. Light-emitting display: a lifesaver after dark. The sensors perform admirably and reliably. Numerous software packages to set up. Time spent in autonomy, including two or three GPS-guided runs, is around five or six days. Ultraportable and stylish.
Cons
- The screen is dwarfed by the device's massive bezels. Few intriguing dials are available with a square form. The asking price is obviously excessive.
Pros
- 1. The producer of this model recognized that text and other data are simpler to display on the good old rectangular screen rather than following the prevailing trend toward round screens "like in a real watch" To avoid any problems while reading information on the screen, it is quite bright and contrasting. 2. The registration of pulse, steps, breathing, and sleep phases is fairly accurate. All abrupt increases in heart rate are accurately recorded, even during strenuous crossfit sessions. 3. The option to choose and modify the data that is shown on the home screen. 4. The Garmin smartphone app remains one of the most intelligent in its class. 5. An additional year of warranty is provided for free when purchasing from an authorized dealer.
Cons
- 1. The light sensor's odd placement on the front of the clock, to the left of the display. Since the screen itself is already visible when wearing the watch on the left hand, this sensor frequently ends up under the sleeve of garments. The watch indicates that it is still dark and the brightness of the screen either remains constant or rises noticeably slowly. 2. highly, highly conditional blood oxygen saturation measurement. Because the diode is not very strong and finds it challenging to shine through the skin, readings at low pressure (such as during deep sleep) can fall to 90–92%, whereas a typical "clothespin" on the finger displays 99%. It turns out that the bracelet readings are not critical for a single value, but rather for a range: if oxygenation is between 90% and 100%, then everything is good. It makes no difference how much is intended precisely. 3. A lengthy synchronization than intended. 10 hours of data, including a 2-hour training session, are transferred over 3-5 minutes. It took my old Vivosmart HR 20 seconds to complete. 4. Recognizing exercise curves at the gym. More or less, bench press, horizontal and vertical cable pulls. The rest is either entirely randomly recognized or not recognized at all. The quantity of repetitions is also regarded as either correct or incorrect. (Is wearing such a watch for 100 individuals, gathering data, and teaching neural networks to recognize really such a tough task?) I do want to point out that so far, not a single bracelet has been able to perform this normally. 5. For that type of money, wireless charging would be nice. 6. Branded application store: welcome to the early 2022s. Designed so poorly that the absence of the object would be preferable. What uses are appropriate for your model? How can I filter apps based on various properties? How can I rapidly comprehend what the software is doing? Like it wasn't created for people, but rather for show.
