    Still rocking a Pebble 2 HR and proud of it. Battery life is almost a week. Screen is always on. I hope you will consider this aspect in future reviews.. the joy of "buttons" on a smartwatch! This may be a personal preference, but I prefer buttons to a touch screen. And I think I am not the only one.

    I tested different smartwatch this year. The Galaxy Watch 5. The Google Pixel Watch and right now the Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition. I really like the Pixel Watch. But the battery life sucks…….. And Fitbit premium is a little bit overpriced for me. Galaxy Watch 5 has so many health tracking features, that is nice. What I noticed: during my fitness training, if I use Samsung Health, it stops tracking the heart rate sometimes. I have the same problem with the Galaxy watch 4. The Fossil Gen 6 Wellness Edition, I have the rose golden version, it’s my favorite so far when we talk about the design. It has the look of a classic watch. It’s absolutely beautiful ❤. Since Fossil updated there gen 6 models to wear so 3, the battery drains so fast. And my wellness edition has some bugs. Fossil said, we will fix all the bugs in future updates. So far there fixed a lot. Major downside: no Google Assistent yet. But Amazon Alexa. Using Alexa uses so much battery. And to load, activate Alexa takes such a long time. Not really useful. Amazon needs to update their App. And the calories tracking, heart rate tracking during a workout is pretty inaccurate. I think this can be fixed with an update.
    My smartwatch of the year is the Pixel watch. Nice design. Nice fitness tracking features. Super fast Google Assistant. Poor battery life 😢.
    If you want a smartwatch with a gorgeous design, get the Fossil gen 6 wellness edition. I’m in love ❤.
    Thanks for a great video.
    Wish everyone happy holidays and merry Christmas ❤.

      4 days is impressive, but it seems like quite the chonk of a smartwatch and pretty expensive. I got a new Galaxy Watch 5 40mm LTE for $127 (because of all of the promos and deals on the Samsung website) and I get about 18 hours with always on display off and not using it alot throughout my day. So I am charging it every night, which is fine, but I would love something that would last 4 days long, like my Charge 5 is able to.

    Garmin Venu 2 plus takes a lot of beating. It's not perfect but it is great for exercise tracking, not bad for sleep tracking and has an incredible battery life. The Fitbit series is OK, especially for sleep tracking, but I think the best value of the bunch is the Charge 4, which does record floors (unlike the 5). i've also tried the Pixel watch but this disappoints with its small size and poor battery life.

    Lexi I’m stuck. I hike in the mountains and used my Apple Watch 7 and it died right at the end of the hike. I love topo maps and looked at getting Garmin. However, can’t I just look at a topo map from my phone? If so, there’s no need for me to get a Garmin because the HR tracking isn’t as accurate as Galaxy or Apple Watch. If so, what hiking apps would you recommend?

    • @LexySavvides
      @LexySavvides Рік тому

      Two things! Heart rate sensor accuracy is somewhat dependent on wrist size, positioning on the individual but generally speaking Garmin is really good with accuracy (at least on the two models I mention here). But yes you totally can just look on your phone, it’s more the convenience of having that right on your wrist. I’ve used AllTrails and TopoGPS before and they are good (for phone) but I am sure there are plenty other great ones I haven’t tried!

    my apple watch series 3 broke so the day before the series 8 was announced I got the 7 for $100 off and I do not regret it one bit. I got the bigger size and can actually see the GPS on the watch as I drive or see who sent a message without looking away from the road at all. With pretty much ever battery draining feature on and a 3 hour work out fully tracked and worn through out the night I get a whole 24 hours out of it and since it supports fast charging it only charges for an hour at most while I shower and its back at 90%. (I keep my watch between 15-90% charged). I recommend it but if you do not need the always on screen and the other higher end features the SE is an amazing watch. I have a friend who ownes one and after playing with it for a bit I know I would be more than happy if it was my only option.

    Garmin Fenix is way much better full pack of features and super long battery. Been using Fenix 5 for the past 5 years and still going strong. Never once I change the battery and still last 5 days with one full charge. Worth every penny and like what Bob Barker say “the price is right” 🤭

      That’s not true. I owned both Apple Watch 7 and Garmin Fenix 5 (yep after 5 years and still going strong although I need to charge it every 5 days). If compared Fenix 5 and Apple Watch 7, then definitely Apple Watch 7 has more features than Fenix 5. However, Fenix 7 outrun Apple Watch 8 from features, not to mention battery life leaving Apple Watch eat Fenix dusts.
      I wait for my Fenix 5 to completely broken and cannot be use before upgrading to Fenix 7 or 8 or 9 but this Fenix 5 is built like a tank 🤭

    If you're obese, your belt is the most cost effective fitness tracker gadget. Otherwise, your times or your lifts are the most cost effective fitness trackers. For better composition, make sure you lift more. You want more detail, use 2 fingers to count your pulse for fifteen seconds and times by 4. HRMax 220- your age. 50%-79% general cardio, HIIT 80%+. But you know when you are in your HIIT zone because you tank fast unless you stop for recovery. Work the figures out once, and they'll do you for the best part of a decade! They're only approximations anyway. No battery, screen or OS required. It's free.
