    I have a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro: I like it as more of an accessory rather than as an actual piece of tech. I don't think the fitness tracking is that accurate and even if it was I don't really care about it. I run twice a week with it and like that I can download spotify stuff to it and listen to my earbuds without my phone.

    I also like the wireless payment shit but that ain't fitness.

    in all honesty I don't really recommend it lmao but it does get me to run twice a week.

    I use a Withings steel hr. It's a good looking watch but also tracks my steps and sleep which I have found very helpful/motivating in my latest cut (down 6 kg in 2 months and in abs territory for the first time in my life)

    Could maybe have done without it but I think wearing it made the difference between this cut and my last couple of attempts

    No. I don’t understand the point outside of ease of use which isn’t a lot. My phone is right next to me at all times. Why do I need a middleman for technology?

      Jealous of the new sleep tracker on it, it's very accurate

      Smart watches will all be in the landfill in 10 years. A nice mechanical watch will be passed down to your kid. Not saying smart watches are useless, but as a piece of technology they lack staying power.

      Black person nobody cares about that old homosexual shit. Most watches even from WW2 and before aren't worth shit, and are functionally useless except if you value mass produced goods as herilooms. Pass your rotary phone and complain about smartphones lol

      i use an apple watch. it's useless for gym but great for running (HR, route tracking, and overall logging which makes it easy to see progress. and listening to music without a phone) also handy for setting reminders, timers, adding to my shopping list, payments, etc, i don't really bother to carry my phone around much any more.

      this is true but i don't see a smart watch as a replacement for a nice automatic. i.e. you look like a homosexual if you wear a smart watch with a suit

    I use an Apple Watch but I have never opened the fitness app. I work with my hands and they’re often covered in whatever so it’s nice to see a message or set several timers at once without digging into my pocket and covering my phone in paint or concrete or whatever

    I’ve had a Galaxy Watch 2-4, now have an Apple Watch Series 7. I turned normie and now my friends have share their fitness stuff with me and compete to close rings and stuff. It’s fun getting the complaints from them because I haven’t missed a day or week since I got the watch whereas they celebrate a day of closing rings.

    only shitty part is I can’t get it to pair with T-Mobile’s data plan so I have to use Bluetooth for now. Sucks ass to go on a run and needing to carry my phone.

    I use a Garmin watch mostly to track my stress levels throughout the day, and quality of sleep at night. Immediately upon buying it, I found that my resting heart rate is 50, but jumps to 80 while driving around my shithole of a city. I need to find a way to relax more while driving lol

      I'm surprised more people aren't saying Garmin. Mine changed literally everything for improving my fitness. I was largely in the dark before getting it.

    I use Huawei GT3, it's perfect for exercise tracking, tracking sleep and also I do lots of mountain hiking so it's excellent for tracking height and position even without internet.
    I would say it's a necessity if you do heavy exercises, also it looks super nice, everyone compliments it and ask its name.

    >Do you use one, IST?
    no its a waste of money and as accurate as a random app on your phone or even a 90s treadmill that trys to guess your caloric burn.
    >What do you use, and recommend?
    I reccomend you stop being a newbie who gets scammed with stupid worthless technology that only exist to trick newbies like you.
    >Fitness tracking is important. Discuss.
    It is important to do very basic tracking to see how you grow. Trying to simplify this or delegate this to technology promotes a lazy mindset and attitude.

    Get some paper and a pencil, record the distance you traveled, the exercise you did, and then next workout try to go further than that.
    >BUT PRETTY GRAPH, UNGA BUNGA OFFICE WORKER LIKE GRAPH
    stop doing stupid shit, you know this is a massive waste of your money. Further more stop marketing on IST with your worthless junk that nobody but a BEGINNER would consider purchasing which is why you are here marketing in the first place.

    You are literally only here to prey on novices.

      Depends entirely on the model you wear. The research suggests they can be terrifically accurate. If the watch knows your height, weight and age, along with your heart rate tracking, then it can estimate your total calorie burn every day with far more accuracy than calculations you might try and do by yourself.
      Following the energy expenditure estimates from my watch, I can gain weight by eating over and lose weight by eating under the calorie total it calculates for me.
      >Trying to simplify this or delegate this to technology promotes a lazy mindset and attitude.
      Yeah bro I bet you use an abacus for all your calculations so as not to promote a lazy attitude.

        What research and what way? I've been using them for almost a decade and I never trusted the calorie burning on it.

    Smart watches are lame
    Planned obsolescence
    Real watches last a lifetime and retain a good part of their value
    Pic related, I added this to my collection a couple days ago

    A friend of mine got some Garmin, it's really cool because it can count your sets (manually), so you always know where you are in your exercise

    If you use an iPhone, Apple Watch really is the best you can get.

    Get a Garmin. It literally changed my sleepings habits and helps me track heart zones during cardio. You can also save your weightlifting routine in the app and track sets and reps.

    Only Apple ones seem to be worth a damn.
    Check out The Quantified Scientist on youtube, he autistically compares them with legit measuring tools.
