I have been using the Mi Band for years which I generally like, although it's quite a simple device

Apple Watch.

I had a couple of Garmins before and the difference is night and day. The Apple Watch isn't perfect, but it's clear that a lot of thought went into it.

The Garmins on the other hand, were lowest of low effort.

They blatantly didn't talk to even a single cyclists while building their cycling app.

Cyclists use average speed, not pace. Even the junkiest $3 cycle computer from Ali Baba gets this right, but not Garmin. They just copy-pasted the running screen.

Oh, that's interesting. I was under the impression that Garmin was best for the actual fitness stuff, but this is good to know

Nah you’re right and this person has obviously never used a Garmin.

The Apple Watch is a great smartwatch though and solid for sports. My wife has one and loves it. I’m on the Garmin side, so we’re always comparing.

You mean that you didn't bother to read my comment properly before personally attacking me. Let me guess, you're from Reddit.
