    Regarding weekly time in heart rate zones - Garmin tracks intensity minutes which is somewhat similar, you get a breakdown of moderate and vigorous minutes per week.

    @2:54 Exactly!!! Seem that every Apple Watch I have owned (nearly every model) is awful at tracking my treadmill running distance. After running one mile the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is reading about 3 out of 4 laps (0.75miles). I tried resetting/recalibrating, etc. etc. I've been running for years... fitness tracking on an Apple watch and not being able to make adjustments is just odd to me... especially with how inaccurate in can be. My Garmins on the other hand have always been fairly spot on with the treadmill running.

    I have the Ultra 2 and Series 9. I wear my Ultra all day for workouts and work since it’s tough and durable. When I get home I take off my Series 9 and charge my Ultra and wear my Series 9 for the rest of the evening since it’s comfortable and for sleep tracking. I wake up and throw on my Ultra. No battery issues this way. I bought them both on sale and used a gift card and reward certificates from Best Buy so both still cost me less than the Garmin Epix Pro.

      I’ve been thinking about doing this with an SE for sleep tracking. I’d prefer a smaller form factor at night for sure!

    I was wearing the AW SE and deciding between Garmin 955 or AWU2. Ultimately went with Garmin because I was only using my apple watch to track runs and workouts. Apple Watch Ultra 2 cost more money than the Garmin 955. Should be arriving tomorrow so I am excited :)

    • @BillMcLean

      Garmin was fun to use and my taste is definitely leaning that way at the moment. I tend to use the watch primarily as a fitness tracker anyway!

      AWU2 all day but wait for the X it drops in sept. midways through I wear both AWU 1 and Garmin 965 and the apple watch is limitless with the apps wear I feel the Garmin is pretty basic and it was learned in less than a day where I am still learning new things with the ultra 1!

    What about HRV? And Training Readiness? I have an Ultra 2 and I am training for 3 halfs and a full in October. HRV and Training Readiness are literally the only reasons I want a 265 or 965. These were not addressed in the video. Am I missing something here?

    • @BillMcLean
      @BillMcLean  Před 3 měsíci +1

      You have to use Athlytic or Superset, both third party subscription apps to get HRV and training load info. Helpful, but not really worth buying a garmin just for that.

    • @davidbraswell1481

      it's a better watch I have the 965 and the ultra 1 and to me its far better and Garmins UI is in super need of upgrading the watch feels cheap to me. I do wear both watches daily my 965 is pretty new and am having issues with it. Garmin support is checking battery drain issue I am charging to full and the battery is draining in 1 night. The 965 is also dropping heart rate data during my walks. if you can wait till September, I have been told great things are coming to Apple watch X. Now everyone says apple ultra battery sucks but if you do things right you can have always on with the display and gesture with a sleep focus and some battery savings from videos you will get three days and that's not bad, but I charge all my watches daily while in the shower and getting ready for the day, so battery has NEVER been an issue. With my Ultra I can leave my phone at home and take off I always have both watches on my wrists.

      ​@@davidbraswell1481 all apple watch x info are rumors. So no one knows if the x is going to be a good watch.
      It's a choice to go for a fr965. It's a running watch. So it's supposed to be light watch. If someone would want to have a robust more luxurious looking watch with the same functions they would buy a Fenix or Epix.
