I’m legit impressed with how thorough you were in this review. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Almost every other "review" is just someone reading the spec sheet and showing off the watch.
Thank God for Des!
Thanks so much!!
Exactly ... Nobody tests the functionality in terms of fitness...
the reviews usually is: "I can read my Imessages 10/10"
This is awesome
Is it good enough for triathlon?
@@TIM123451ERR That depends for sure, but here's my opinion: in my training it has been great, but for races I probably would find something else that is more suited for multisport that I would race with! I'm a Suunto fan but there are tons of options :)
finnaly the review from expert sports come
👍
@@DesFit loo lol pop pop pop so to be chop
This is the most comprehensive review I’ve seen. Much better than the normal hype folks. Would love to see one for Series 6.
Yup, it’s coming! Along with the SE! Thanks a bunch!
This guy is really likeable and really good at what he does. Great job!
Thanks a bunch!
This is the best review I've seen for a smart watch. Just got my Series 5 Apple Watch yesterday to help me on my fitness journey and this helps me understand some things better. Happily subbed now. Eager to see your other reviews.
Thanks a bunch! Good luck on your journey!
Are you enjoying the watch is it good for running and hills ?
Impeccable in-depth review, the analysis is mind-blowing and greatly appreciated!
Glad it helped. Thanks!
Had to give my mans a like because he made charts and all lol. I know this took time lol
Thanks a bunch!!
By far the best review without any bias one way or the other. I’ve had my Series 5 for the last 4 months and love it, but I’m coming from a Series 1. Wish I had watched this prior, but still very happy with the purchase overall.
The HR accuracy has improved over time with firmware updates. You’ve made a good purchase. Thanks!
I have been having some of the HR issues you describe on my Series 4. Cleaning the back of the watch before a workout helps a lot. Also seems to vary from software update to software update.
That’s a good idea, if the heart rate is elevated turn on “always on display“ if not, turn off always on display.
Hey man, thank you for all the hard work making this video! I'm pretty shocked that series 5 has these HR inconsistencies. I have both aluminum and stainless steel models, trying to decide which one to keep
I am blown away by how thorough and detailed the review is. This review helps me tremendously understand insightful information about Apple Watch Series 5. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped. Thanks!
I like how you actually went throughly to all the tests and explained everything in detail. This is what I’m looking for and am glad that I found this video. Thank you for all your hard work! Cheers 🍻
Glad it helped. Thanks!!
Excellent in depth comparison between the series 4 and series 5 in regards to health tracking. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
impeccable comparison. you really spent time for this
Thanks!
Where to get one? Thanks man!
Wow! I’m very impressed with your review. This is what I call a review
Thanks!
Totally off tonic...but I really love your lamp! (I just ordered my series 5) can’t wait..
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.
Just the review that I needed, thanks for putting so much time and effort into this review!
Sure thing. Glad it helped!
I just wanted to say that it seems they have fixed the HR issue. My HR readings seem pretty stable and way better than my Fenix 6.
Patiently waiting in the galaxy active 2 review 😊
Soon!!
@@DesFit 😰
You can watch fitness while wearing a fitness watch, which I find is the most important feature a fitness watch features.
New subscriber! Appreciate how in-depth your review is. I love all the graphs.
Thanks so much!
Best review I've seen on this so far.
Thanks!
Incredible analysis, this is the best video for apple watch content so far
Thanks!
Fantastic review. Thank you for being so thorough
Sure thing. Thanks!
This is easily the best Apple Watch review, much better than people who just read the spec sheet and read off all the new features
Thanks a bunch!
This is incredibly thorough thank you! Looking to get a wearable and this video helped a lot
Glad it helped. Thanks!
OMG BROOO you are the best. These reviews are actual REVIEWS. Not just reading specs.
Thanks!
indeed
Amazing review bro!
***Practical and realistic***
You do awesome work! Thanks so much for your dedication and full varied activity reviews! It's nice having a real athlete that likes tech doing sports fitness reviews instead of tech nerds that fake fitness lol. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!!
I blamed my watch, 12 years ago, & found out I had A-fib, not a cheap watch! Been doing what I’m supposed to, 73, & still breathing, but not significantly more. Bought the 5 cellular for falling down notifications! Getting Old is not for the faint of heart ❤️! Still checking! Good video!👍🏻
One of the best reviews out there
Thanks a bunch!!
cant imagine when you get data from all these fitness trackers it must have covered half of your arm wearing them all. kudos to a well made indepth comprehensive review.
I only wear one watch per wrist. When you have more than one watch per wrist it can affect both HR and sometimes GPS. While running, I’ll carry the other watches in my hand and have them paired to external HR sensors as reference devices. Then while cycling, I’ll either mount them to the handlebars or have them attached to backpack straps or something along those lines.
Any thoughts on best watch for running cycling of the most important data points (in order) are:
-Heart Rate
-GPS
-Calories
-sleep Tracking
Thanks in advance.
CinicThink the Garmin for sure! I like the Vivoactive 4!
For smartwatch review I always come back to your site to get the most accurate review🙌🏼
Thanks!
I always check your reviews before I go buy. Thanks for the great work!
Awesome. Thanks so much!
This greatly influenced my decision to go with the Series 5, thank you!
Sure thing. Thanks!
Fantastic serious and detailed work.
Thanks so much!
Great review as always. Purchased AW3 a couple years back after watching your review, and have loved it. What is your daily driver? As a current iPhone user, would you recommend sticking with AW or go towards a garmin? The battery life brings me down at times, cheers!
I'll always support your channel.... Thank you for hard work to get every single video up
Thanks!
Awesome video! Helped me find new things to use on my series 5. Thanks, man!!
Glad it helped!
Really well explained. I appreciate the time and effort you put in.
Thanks! Glad it helped!
10/10 review
Thanks!
10:18 That running guy animation cracks me up.
kudos for such an in depth review and all the effort put into it
Sure thing! Glad it helped!
Best reviewer of fitness wearables. Great job 👏
Thanks!!
Thank you so much for the great analysis. Love your reviews!
Thanks!
I turned off the "trun wrist to wake" feature and added about 20% battery life to my day. on a 12 hour work shift I would be down to about 45-50% when I had it set to wake and 70-75% when I turned it off. I can still see the time and everything.
You did AMAZING thank you
Sure thing!
This was truly the BEST review I’ve seen so far, thanks👍🏾👍🏾
Love the review I just got a series 5 coming from a series 1 so needed in-depth review of how well the fitness tracking is
Ya it’s pretty darn good. It will be a great upgrade!
DesFit thank you I will be subscribing and watching your content great stuff man and thanks a lot for the reply and recommendation I wanted to wait for the series 6 but I felt it was time
Sure thing! Thanks a bunch!
Always putting out solid videos, very informative and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks!!
Hi, curious to hear what results are after the latest update. Have you re-done any of these tests to see if the software update helped?
Tory Grey I believe they are saying the update solved the problem on another video.
J. Claudio J. Landeros what video? If the HR sensor is not having issues like in this video anymore then I’m all in on the 5
@@eric3007 itwasavideo showcasing all of the smartwatches of 2019.
Question. First off thanks for this awesome review. With all of the variances in the AW5 to the 4, do you think it makes a drastic difference in calorie counting for the workout as a whole. A few seconds off hear and there? Just got the 5 mainly for the HR and workouts. Kinda bummed :( 4 is discontinued almost everywhere
What a brilliant review, thank you for this.
Thanks!
Wow! This is a very good review, good job!
Thanks!!
WOW! Thank you for this detailed review!
Sure thing!
Amazing review
Thanks!
I was expecting the fenix 6 review. Anyway great review on the apple watch. It seems the series 4 is still a pretty darn good watch. For those looking to grab an apple watch, the series 4 is still the best bet of the lot if you into fitness.
I’d have to agree. Fenix 6 is still a couple weeks away. I’ve got lots of devices in the backlog unfortunately 😬
Good review Des, thanks. Ended up going with the series 5 watch.
Nice! Enjoy!
What a truly balanced, informative and comprehensive review. You get a thumbs up sir!
Thanks!!
I knew it. Upgraded from 4 to 5 and have thought it was less stable. May go back to the 4. I can now get a 4 and an Instinct for close for what I can sell 5 for.
You and DC rainmaker are my go to reviewers for fitness watches, and I'm glad that you cover watches like Amazfit stratos too that DC doesn't. Noticed you are using DC's comparison tool for review. Keep doing the good work, all the best
Thanks a bunch!
Absolute superb video, owner of an Apple Watch 4 4g. Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Fantastic analysis 👍🏽
Thanks!
Thank you for this specific and thoroughly prepared review mate. Really appreciate the time and effort that goes into all of your work.
Sure thing. Thanks a bunch, Chris!
Incredible review. Huge thanks!
Much appreciated!
This is another amazing and super helpful review. Thank you so much!
Awesome, glad it helped! Thanks!
DesFit Both of your Apple Watch 4 & 5 reviews helped me make up my mind to order a series 4. Thank you!
I'd love for you to give a small update to see if the software updates over the past half a year improved to the accuracy of the Series 5. I just got one and I'm very interested in using it for fitness, but this left a sour taste in my mouth. Please continue your videos with the in-depth points. Absolutely amazing man!
It was just slightly less accurate than the Series 4 during my testing, but it's still quite decent compared to the rest of the selection on the market. I have not yet had a chance to retest due to being busy with other devices, but I still highly recommend the Series 5. Thanks!
@@DesFit Thank you so much for replying!! I love how connected you are to your subscribers. You've definitely earned a sub from me : ). Keep it up!!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I am an athlete who is looking for an apple watch, and I am planning on when to be getting one. your information was very helpful. Now I know that this watch isn't quite worth buying, even because of its' two major flaws (1) battery life and (2) fitness tracking and pricing.
Er… Those are three flaws.
Can you please review the Whoop band - thanks.
Great video, very in-depth! This should have zero dislikes!!! I wish they had a watch like apple/whoop
This was super helpful! Thanks for putting it together!
Sure thing!
awesome review. thank you! would love to see a review of the Whoop strap 3.0
So please i need a help
Currently i have Samsung Gear Sport and i want to switch to apple watch
Between series 3,4,5 which is the best value for money!
Btw Thanks man for the review you are the best.
LOOOVED THE review!! Now as someone who tried all sport trackers out there.. if i ask you which one is the most accurate one, that is easy to use, shows calories burnt and steps (no need for messages, music and stuff) and that is esthetically nice to wear for a small wrist😂😂😊😊😊 and waterproof as well
Really liked your work!
Please make video on Samsung Galaxy watch OG vs Galaxy watch 3 !!
Is the Galaxy active watch 2 post update video next? Great review!
Definitely coming up soon! Thanks!
I too am interested in that update. Really looking forward to seeing if Samsung fixed the HR/GPS issues. I would rather have that watch over the Apple Watch.
Great review, thanks! 8 months later, is there any explanation for the inconsistencies in the series 5 heart rate monitor and GPS?
Great review, the best to date! Do you think they will fix the issue with further updates?
Super helpful video thank you, felt very professional you’re underrated for sure
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Hi, just a question. How long does the series 5 take to lock onto GPS signal once you start an outdoor run?. My Samsung Gear Fit 2 pro takes about 2-3 mins once you start an outdoor walk/run to acquire GPS lock until which time distance and speed is calculated by the number of steps I take.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Sure thing
Excellent review. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks for the review Desfit
Sure thing!
Very great Review it is very helpful
Glad it helped!
Des, I realize some delays and fails on HRM on series 4 after I updated to watchOS 6, and some other issues too
Really good video.
Thanks!
Good to know I can save the money. Great review!
Thank you, it was a very nice review! Just one tip, when comparing the smartwatch GPS data it would have been easier to understand if you'd made the text the same color as the data in the map for each device, instead of writing the color name in white.
Ya, that was an oversight but thanks for the feedback!
incredible video, so in-depth and detailed. I recently upgraded to the series 5 and never take it off. the always on feature is a plus. many thanks for your sports expertize with the watch which is the main reason for my initial purchase. Will continue to watch and like your videos
Chis james it completely changed my wearing habits. I honestly wear my watch 20x more than my Series 3.
Thanks a bunch and thanks for tuning in!
I'm really beginning to want the Series 5. I had a few series 1 & 2's but gave up on them when I started running more seriously and have used Garmin since. I have the Fenix 5 Plus just now and have no complaints other than wanting some more smart features again. I don't mind daily charging but losing GPS accuracy would be a big deal for me as I run A LOT.
Very good review! However, I do believe you’re using the grey strap the other way around.
Great review, appreciate your time and effort.
Glad it helped! Thanks!!
Been on Garmin Fenix series from day one, and they just works very solid for training. (exp. for few times when update fail and they fix it on next.)
But for a "SmartWatch" i think apple watch is Nr1 by far...and for "easy" training that most folks do it is solid.
Interesting... I wonder about software tweets coming?
Thanks so much for this video!!! 🙏
Glad it helped!!
Thanks for the detailed review! I'm gonna go with the series 4 :)
