Isn't it funny?

blue, 16 May 2022Well, most of the time I see "overpriced" from pe... morelet's take vivomove style with garmin's best screen offering in hybrid watch series. it is %50 more expensive than android market leader galaxy watch4 ($300 vs $200).here is the honest comparison:
pros: garmin has better battery life, more reliable sensors and unique physical watch hands.
cons: garmin has smaller lower quality screen, no universal Qi charging support, no built-in GPS, limited notification reply, no voice call support (no mic&speaker), no offline music storage, no AOD, limited app support.
verdict: vivomove style is a fitness band integrated into an analogue watch. a nice touch indeed. but,it is ment to be a daily watch for casual people rather than hardcore fitness ethusiasts. unfortunately,it has limited daily used smartwatch features. it can be a head to head competitor to galaxy watch4. that's why prices must be similar,not way more expensive.
garmin also has venu sq music edition with galaxy watch4 price but is a fitness band with slightly big screen and huge bezels.that's all it is.I really like garmin but,entry models are a bit too prices for the value they deliver to be honest
can't I affort garmin? well...I can buy 3 or 4 garmin venu2+ with only selling the watch on my wrist right now.

But the watch is really solid, never missed a beat so far. I was looking at Fénix 7X, but it's just way too big and sapphire is indestructible, but a paint to use due to reflections.
"Can't afford it" and "not willing to pay" it are really different things.

Purpose of watch is to show time. All other so called "smart" features just a gimmic and not so smart. Tried most of smart watches on the market and no longer bothered with them.

Garmin being case in point. Reportedly their sales have grown many fold recently and Solar powered are trending strongly!

Anonymous, 15 May 2022The second poll was best in whole GSMArena historyMaybe for you but for 27,47% of voting people or 1830 people voted for no watches at all it wasnt that perfect.
And in whole world the majority is even bigger.
Anything smartwatches do phone can do too and in much greater marging and for same thing i really dont need to have 2 devices.

People care most about battery life and least about apps. Now this makes you wonder why did Samsung threw Tizen away in favor of Wear, for more apps and less battery life..
