Apple Watch is one of those things you don't think you *need*, but I tried my gf's watch for a week and immediately after went and got myself one (SE gen 2).
They really do create a nice dashboard with tons of insights. If you have a smart body scale it's even better. Full picture.
That said most of my health decisions including dietary ones don't depend on the watch, the thing is just very very nice to have. I walked >10k steps before it too.
Everybody shitting on Apple products is either poor or brown or both until proven otherwise.
Also, basically what this guy said. You think you don't need it, but if you take it off after a month of usage you feel naked. There isn't one great feature that changes the way you live, but rather there are a 100 small QoL things that do add up.
Is it actually worth to buy an Apple watch if you use Android? I also dont want to spend more than 150
Got a Fenix 6X Pro a few months ago and I really like it.
It's not necessarily the most aesthetic choice, but it lasts almost a month on a single charge (And you can extend it further if need be). I hate dealing with charging countless devices so having something I can slap on my wrist and do everything in is a huge draw for me. Also has a flashlight and great GPS ( Which are surprisingly useful too).
>>I wanted a g-shock look-a-like >>i didnt want to spend over $300 >>i didnt want a touch screen because i would be fricking with it every second or doomscrolling
It does every health metric i want, the charge lasts a month and it's decently ruggedized since im hard on my stuff sometimes. Got it for $250.
I've had multiple models of Fitbit and they just kept breaking as soon as the warranty ran out. Even without any externally visible damage.
Garmin Forerunner did the same thing after two years.
I'm trying an Instinct now since it's supposedly rugged and durable but if this b***h breaks on me too, I'm saying frick it and trying a G-Shock. All these other watches are way too fragile for anyone that works outdoors and clumsily knocks their wrist against doorframes and shit.

Literally me. That's why I bought g-shock watch.
Best zero bullshit breakdown of various wearables (mostly smartwatches):

TL;DW: The best standalone watches are Apple watches, not even the expensive ones. SE will do.
But if you want accurate heart rate tracking, you need a chest strap like a Polar H10 anyway and then pretty much every bluetooth/ANT+ enabled device will work. If you have your phone with you anyway, you can use that or you can get a relatively cheap smartwatch. Or simply one you like, even if it's not the best in terms of tracking.
Apple watch series 8, ofc
Why yes, I’m a homosexual, how could you tell?
>haha that person is GAY!!!!!!!! because of his watch

Apple watch doesn't work with Android AFAIK.

Gay ass Apple watches are unironically the best.
Fit is chock full of poor gays so they’ll say no but, every rich gay has one. Since they’re probably into endurance type sports.
Is it actually worth to buy an Apple watch if you use Android? I also dont want to spend more than 150
I got a fit bit inspire 3
Tracks all relevant health metrics and exercises
Waterproof
Notifications
10 day battery life
Less than $150 cdn after tax
Also some youtuber tested the accuracy of every smart watch and fitbit scored solid in every category

for anyone who does manual/physical labour really, smart watches are for white collar workers
I just want one I can use for strava and offline spotify
i have a fitbit inspire 3. tracks steps, heart rate, sleep, and can set timers and alarms. dont really need much else personally
