  • Battery Life

    Battery life shows how many days the smartwatch can operate without charging.


    It depends on the battery capacity, but also on how much you use it (e.g. active display, GPS, notifications, etc.).


    For example, a smartwatch with 2-3 days of battery life is ideal for daily use with all features enabled.


    Models with 5–10 days or more are suitable for those who do not want to charge often or use it more "lightly".


    The value is especially meaningful when comparing products from the same manufacturer.

  • Display Type

    After Apple Watch, I made the change and went to Garmin. The reason is the battery and more accurate measurements. A very good watch for those who exercise and want to have some smartwatch features.

    The accuracy in its measurements is now unbelievable. Its GPS has nothing to do with previous models. It's amazing. Especially the track run mode function has centimeter accuracy now. Finally, on a measured 400-meter field, I ran 5 kilometers and it hit every kilometer exactly on the line. I was impressed. But even outside, its accuracy is improved. It finds a satellite in at most 10-20 seconds. The heart rate and oxygen measurements are impressive. Even greater accuracy in measuring vO2max and in race predictions. Incredible screen, countless functions. I listen to my music without needing an mp3 player anymore. I pay with my credit card without carrying it (alphabank). It's unbelievable. Super lightweight and small (I can't handle big ones). I give it a 10 with emphasis. The battery drains a bit. It needs charging in 3 days if you use it all day and have 1-1.5 hours of training per day. But anyway, small downside because it charges in 1 hour! I really can't find any negatives. The barometer and thermometer work perfectly. Body battery, goals for aerobic, anaerobic, and threshold... all well-studied and not random numbers. Get it!
