Apple Watch vs. Garmin sport watch

The Apple Watch is a capable fitness tracker, but can a smartwatch — even a sporty one — stand up to a waterproof multi-sport watch like a Garmin? The Verge's Lauren Goode reports.

I am loving this type of videos. Twins.

This type of video is getting played out.

This was clear, concise, to the point and allowed me to know exactly what I need out of each product when previously I was confused.
Thanks

Lots of non sense comments... I own both Apple Watch and Garmin 735xt. They are totally different things. I am a data freak and this Garmin is more than a "fitness watch"... I will just focus on the running here... It estimates my VO2 max, lactate threshold pace and provides a bunch of advanced running data such as the length of my steps, the average contact ground time, vertical oscillation, unbalance between right and left foot among lots of other info (that no other "fitness whatever watch" has gotten even close yet). If you are a serious runner, cycler and or swimmer and loves accurate data: Garmin. I haven't used my Apple Watch ever since... If you would like to buy one let me know I can make a good discount! ;)

Haters gonna hate. These videos are really well produced and Lauren has a great personality that works. She's also funny as hell on The Vergecast. Just sayin'.

I absolutely love these comparison videos. Perfect, to-the-point with pros and cons properly touched upon.

[TechRadicalTv]

I'm much more inspired by the verge in making videos

my wife has the Apple Watch and loves it, I have the Garmin Fenix 3HR and love it. yeah there are things I wish the Garmin did, but not having to charge it every day is a big plus for me. Not saying I wouldnt take an Apple Watch if given one, but the Garmin watch is a better fit for my lifestyle.

There isn't enough water on this planet to quench the thirst of this comment section!

the garmin girl was wearing the apple watch when checking the direct sunlight part.. check 2:31 and look at her shirt.. i think the Garmin Girl was tempted to wear the apple watch.. LoL

Series 3 does have gps and more things and is much easier to navigate

I absolutely love these videos with Lauren Goode. Keep making them in this format, I disagree with people in the comments saying that its played out. It brings the information across in a slick side by side comparison.

Lauren doesn't deserve the flak she's getting in the comments. Such type of videos are very difficult to make. When a normal person compares two objects, the person likes one over the other. But Lauren has to like AND dislike both choices, and deliver that message convincingly. The points raised by both Laurens are valid, one with a "fanboy" (fangirl?) attitude and the other with a more practical approach to fitness trackers.

Extremely well made and presented 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Garmin wins it for me.

How do they shoot these cool twin kinda film?

[MrZekors]

can we get an updated version for this? with Apple Watch series 3?

[charlesxav]

Excellent video as always. I love this girl 😍

[TheSkipAJ]

So in conclusion the Apple Watch is better at everything except fitness and battery.

[niqbal]

Its a joke comparing the two on fitness basis. Garmin rules that format by a long mile and a half. It is made for professional runners/triathletes

Little did they know the next Apple Watch is water proof AND has GPS
