Hi i am trying to change to healthier more organized lifestyle. I would like to get a smartwatch mainly for fitness purposes, and i do not know if apple watch is worth it for me. My budget allows me to only go for a used s5/s6. Or a brand new Amazfit model.
I do not recieve a lot of notifications, i am not in a call very often so making a phone call from the watch is negligible. Maybe the only useful feature i would regularly use is being able to pay with my watch.
Those who switched from to 3rd party to apple watches, was it worth it? In what way apple watch is more useful? What features does 3rd party miss?
The Apple Watch is consistently the most accurate non-professional wearable.
What is more important is that it requires an iPhone to work. It does not even work with an iPad, you have to have an iPhone. That being said, if you have one, and you get a watch, disabling all notifications and the stuff you mentioned you won’t use, you’d likely have a very accurate smartwatch with a really decent battery life. I also turn off most notifications and rarely take a call on my watch, and my watch (S9 now, but my S7 as well at the beginning) routinely nets me ~36h of battery life.
