Anyone serious about their fitness will always pick Garmin.

Just switch from apple to garmin and i really satisfied with the functionality for running & fitness. And i love the battery & reflective screen too... unless theres no major changes, dont think i will go back to applewatch for sure 😂

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! I went for the Garmin music through GovX for 299 due to the extra metrics being tracked and the battery life! Can’t wait for it to get delivered!

Ordered the Garmin - switching from a series 2. I think its less prone to being obsolete quickly, breaking, and has better fitness tracking

I have the Apple watch series 2 and the battery life has deteriorated over time. Similar to iPhones. When I first got the watch it would last multiple days, now if I wear it during the day after a full charge it does not last for my run in the evening. I cannot get through a full marathon and barely a half on one charge with the Apple watch using GPS so am switching to Garmin 245

Four kids. Thanks for your service. I'm not even kidding.

Really good video, thanks for putting this up.
Exactly the two watches that I am tossing up between atm.
Sadly i'm still not sure which way to go :(

I have Apple Watch series 3. I’m a college runner & it’s hard sometimes to pause and play my runs as my fingers are sweaty most of the time. So this garmin would be best for me. Garmin when running Apple as a daily wear

[blackwatch_TV]

Great breakdown. Go with the Garmin. It’s much quicker to transfer music

[hdmedia]

Apple Watch life expectancy : 3 years max

Garmin Forerunner 245 : lifetime cause no obsoleted program here!

Only downside : the glonass 3 on the Garmin. Many scratches reports...

[Milan-iypd]

sad that the battery life dropped on the modern garmin watches - i don't run like every day - however, my forerunner 235 lasts 2-3 weeeks :3

Yesterday I witness Apple watches freeze at 19km during the run and restart, while my Garmin 645 is going strong. So who's better?

[ariannagrace]

Amazing detail in this comparison. Ive seen a few videos but this one really helped me make my decision. Thank you so much 🙌🏽

[travis]

Which is more comfortable, specifically for sleeping? Is your AW4 a 40mm?

[anthonyrampino]

I’m looking at both these watches. I do a lot of weight training, walking and cycling. Which one do you recommend? Does the 245 load meter work for weight training or just running?

[gteeitup]

With Garmin, Can you sync itunes playlists? Is there audio pace response if listening through headphones?

[m.turner]

I’ve found the Apple Watch is most definitely not daylight visible. Half the reason I got rid of mine is because I couldn’t see it outside unless I shaded it and had the brightness turned up all the way.

[anthonyrampino]

Which watch is better for gym based exercises? I'm really not a runner but I like to walk and lift weights in the gym.

The garmin is better for who does swim drills. The Apple Watch doesn’t have this feature on the native app.
