- in this rainy running morning i wanted to test both of my fitness watches: apple watch 7 and garmin forerunner 55.
this is not a professional comparison but just a fun amateur experiment.
LINK AMAZON
Garmin Forerunner 55:

Apple Watch:

one lasts 12 hours the other lasts 12 days
Who the fk wears their watch for 12 days straight ahah.
@Broodjemetbeleg nobody wear smartwatch 12 hours a day. But nobody want to charge in every 12 hours
@@muhdhazim_it’s worth it btw apples accuracy is unbeatable really. Apples accuracy has always been a market leading statement
@@Broodjemetbeleg lol, everyone does these days. Go out more bro
@@BroodjemetbelegI hardly ever take my watch off
garmin is for fitness, apple is for daily smartwatch use
@@fish_h i would also say garmin is for sport, apple watch is for fitness (and of course a great smartwatch for daily use)
Best video I’ve seen yet it’s been frustrating not seeing what the screen actually looks like thank you for that.
thank you🙏🏻
Depending on the model, Apple has better HR sensor, but Garmin does better GPS tracking. And of course the battery life.
thats missinformation you got there! apple watch got a good GPS tracking, would say almost perfect one.there are a lot of tests and comparisons of all "known" tracking watches. Apple is kinda superior in most of the categories. exept batterylife, thats a point yeah.
Yea, the apple battery life is the worst fucking thing known to man
@@manhunniApple Watch is just not a sport watch
@@manhunni welp, bofore you get too excited. forerunner 55 is the entry level of garmin which also the cheapest
Try compare to the 900+ series.. and you know which one is the monster of fit tracking
false.
Garmin! Only Garmin! 👌
Garmin and others. 😂😂
@@motodrummer6132 coros is good to (and i think polar also)
coros..
Garmins better for running but overall fitness you cannot be the apple watch
Apple charges every day and garmin 5 or 7 day's
Looks more fancy maybe, but Garmin kills it on accuracy and duration. The app has all the nice overviews so GARMIN wins
Is it only me that thinks garmin looks way better, and sophisticated?
I have a Garmin forerunner 55, it's the best!
very good sport watch especially for its price
Garmin forerunner 55 ✌️
is a very good one!
If you were to compare apple and garmin watches you should compare watches on the same price: the Apple Watch 9 and the garmin forerunner 965 (955). The apple watch does not outperform the garmin in a single parameter in therms of fitness tracking
The best point is the Garmin battery, Apple Watch is good but the battery is a bad point
@Nxbck you're right! and in my opinion also the garmin shows you much data about the activity
XD not the same price
My garmin instinct 2. 28 days + it has solar charging
I have a Garmin forerunner 55
great choice👌🏻
I’m in love with my series 9😂
Garmin is proper fitness watch. While apple does everything. Only if apple can nake its battery last 6 days atleast then it would be the best thing. A watch which needs to be charged daily isnt practical for me 😅
i have a vivoactive 5, it lasts a week and does everything the apple watch does, apple have no excuse for their poor battery life
Apple watch ecg & afib the most reliable. Garmin ecg not available in my country
Now try the garmin fenix 8!
Man I'd love the battery life on the Garmin but at the same time I really like using the Nike app with the guided runs. Makes it a bit lively and really helps during those awful days. If it wasn't that annoying to use & keep track of both (Garmin + NRC) especially the shoe mileage, I'd 100% go for Garmin. Maybe once I outgrow NRC I'll finally buy one
So the NRC doesn’t work on the Garmin? I’m about to buy one smart watch because I wanna be able to run without my fun and to be able to do Nike guided runs and also listen to music in Spotify, I’m thinking about buying the SE? Do you have an opinion on this?
@@mosardillaif you plan to do any activities like long runs or hikes go for a garmin, i’ve seen so many ppl say their Apple watch died during a marathon or a hike 😭
Apple watch not bad as a sport watch. Definitely not go for it if thinking in buying one specifically for sports, but if you already have it you can use it. Worst part is 0 analysis of the training. Fitness app sucks
You're right and also the battery...
smartwatch and also what kind of apps?
Whice is correct
Obviously garmin is correct
Garmin has really accurate tracking in almost everything, so Ima go with Garmin
For working out = garmin
For general smart watch use = apple, unless you hate charging every day.
If you dont need much smart watch features then go garmin too
Garmin is a trainer, Apple Watch is a toy
nice pace :)
:)
Picking Garmin over Apple Watch is giving up 70% of practicality for an extra 5% of data 99% of people will stop caring for after 2 weeks of having that Garmin watch.
Apple fanboy 😢
@@liam_k why are you hurt though? It’s just my opinion.
@@Dramatello what do you mean hurt? You are comparing apples and bananas. FR55 is for running, and it's much cheaper and has better features for running. Apple watch obviously has more features, but also far more expensive (the whole apple ecosystem by itself) and it's not designed to be a runners watch. And runners do care about the extra "5%" of data. But there are far more useful features for running on the FR55 than only 5%
@@liam_kget a job and buy apple watch
If you are an athlete the Apple Watch is a toy
Great video!
I have a question
Does this Garmin watch have an NFC chip?
No, it doesn't
@@akahansel Thanks!
I think both r fine
Apple just really bad in terms of batter life
Garmin is better in term of insights and battery life. But apples accuracy is truly unbeatable. They are always late to the game on this but when they finally do it they do it great. Apple definitely is the way to go for accuracy in terms of everything really. Garmin however has a better data presentation and insights. So if you need accuracy get Apple but if you need insights into more detailed things Garmin is the way to go
Do you have a tutorial how to control a mysic in forerruner? I wonder why mine wont control my phone music
you can try to go to settings on your garmin device > music provider > and select > control smartphone.
I set my bottom left button as shortcut for music controls. ( to do this go to settings > system > hot keys. ;)
En un pecho tierra no te puedes llevar el Apple Watch!
How did you show heart rate while running?
You should edit the data and layout of your activity screen.
Press the activity button (top right)>select run (or any activity)> press and hold the center left button and edit screen
Bro u are a beast in 5th zone for 30 mins?
You should go easy on yourself and do light workouts
I know, it was at my beginning. Now i'm better at it and i've also ran some races.
Vo2max compare apple watch
Ho preso da poco il forerunner55, provengo da un vecchiotto forerunner 110, qui siamo in un altro mondo. Quale app aggiuntiva consigli per la corsa?
ottima scelta.
ti consiglio più che altro una complicazione che ti permette di leggere meglio la zona cardio in tempo reale mentre corri.
cerca "RunningDF4 1" di "RH-SPORTS" sull'app Garmin IQ.
scaricala e installala io mi sono trovato benissimo
I think the apple watch is better for its price, but garmin just looks way better. I hate the ugly designe of the apple watch
Need an advice- looking for Garmin with stylish look and scratch free glass, basic monitoring as i am not a sports person. Can u suggest plz? Fenix 8 is tempting but 1100 is quite a bit
usually the gamin sapphire glass watches are very expensive.. but you could cut the costs buying a new old model available on the internet such as a garmin fenix 5/6 sapphire glass
@@akahansel thankyou for your advice
Bezel are too big on garmin
on the garmin watch face did you custom edit that one? i have the garmin connect app already
i just downloaded that watch face on the garmin connect app.
the watch face's name is "Anassic" by "Lenden"😉
Is possible save the activity from garmin into apple fitness app?
honestly I don't think is possible, but you could download some app like "strava" and save the activity of both devices on the same app
Not thefitness app. But for the health app it works.
It automatically saves the workout in the fitness app AND the health app
It really depends if you are into working out and being productive, or if you are a psychopath who bases their entire personality and life off of being able to run fast for longer than usual.
Hi! Which watch do you recommend out of the two presented? How does the body battery in a Garmin work?
hi! both watches are very very good and their sensors are very accurate.
All depends by your needs and what do you want from them.
In my opinion the apple watch is much for an easy smart daily usage.
On the other hand the Garmin is better in terms of sport watch because it gives you much data about your workouts.
The battery life is far better on the Garmin (18 days)
Apple Watch (1 day)
Garmin 265s é o mais básico de 2024, 55 é segunda linha
how to show maps on apple fitness app?
to let it appear on the fitness app you have to record the activity only by apple watch and be sure you're recording in the "outdoor" way mode activity
@@akahansel i already did it but the maps never shown, are region matters for maps feature? bcs i lived in indonesia
What is price difference?
the forerunner 55 costs around 150$ and the apple watch costs around 400$
Can I export my run from a garmin to Strava on my phone ? I’m looking for a watch to track my runs but I don’t know which one to choose :/
Yes of course you can! All you have to do is connect on the app Strava your garmin device and all your registered activities should appear on the app
Yes happens automatically if you link garmin to strava
How do you know which one is better based on what you showed?
Lately my needs fits more with the garmin features rather than the apple watch. But it's all about the needs you have
How do you see cadence for apple watch?
open the app "fitness">tap on the workout you did> in the details you will see "avg cadence".
@@akahansel I've been trying to figure that out for years thank you
Looking to buy Garmin but I have Apple Music is it compatible?
garmin watches probably don't have apple music but you can play your music on your iphone by apple music and control it on your garmin like press play, pause, skip ecc
@@akahansel oh okay.. do you know any sports watches that are compatible with Apple
Music or is it only an Apple Watch? I really want a plain and simple sports watch not really into the Apple Watches.. only problem is I have Apple Music not Spotify. Don’t want to carry my
Phone when I run that’s why I want a watch! Thanks for the reply 🙏
Honestly I don't know but I think apple watch is the only one that can play apple music
@@akahansel turns out you can only play music with Apple Watches if your on a plan.. I ended up getting a coros pace 3
Thanks for the help 👍
Elevation can detect for garmin forerunner 55??
yes!
The battery please inform bro. Anyway why compare with 55 not 265?
i just compared these two devices cause they are the ones i got. for years i used the apple watch and i loved it but lately i started running and i needed a sport watch rather than a smart watch.
so i bought the garmin forerunner 55 for start and couple months later i upgraded it with the fenix 7
@@akahansel Brother why fenix series of Garmin, any specific reason to choose Garmin fenix series over forerunner?
@@dineshpatra1194 in my opinion forerunner is the right choice to everyone who has as a primary sport the running.
i have chosen the Fenix because i also use it like gps map during my hiking session. and plus the fenix has much sensor for the outdoors.
in the end the choice between those two models depends by your needs.
How to change your FR 55 face watches?
you have to download the app "garmin connect iq"
Tbh looks like neither are perfect take all stats with a grain of salt
Qual é o melhor??
It depends on your needs. If you are a sport person and you need more battery life and more data about your sport session i probably will suggest you the garmin.
@@akahansel obrigado. Sim eu só preciso mesmo para correr e ser compatível com o TrainingPeaks.
Garmin é o melhor
mi band xiaomi is better than both and much cheaper
personally i prefer the buttons during my workouts
just wondering, is Spotify & other apps like calls just as easy on the forerunner? or is it only running stats
on the forerunner you can just control your smartphone's music but you can't answer calls or messages, only see the notifications
@@akahanselhi are the notifications reliable on iphone? i heard from some iphone users that not all notifications go through on garmin all the time
fr 55 can import/save gps route?
i didn't try that, but probably yes from the app garmin connect>more>training&planning>courses.
What is the name of the watch face on the Garmin??
in this video i show you my favorite watch faces and the names:

What model is this Apple Watch shown in the video ??
Apple watch 7
@@akahansel legend brother!
🙏
Battery 🫠
is there a gps in the forerunner 55?
Yes there is
yes there is, but it only works to track your outdoor workouts. it doesn't work like maps
Only on fr255 and higher can show gps map on the watch as .gpx
apple watch looks like shit

Hello what is better ? Apple or Garmin?
Thank
Greeting
Chris
it depends by your needs. if you need a trainer watch and many data about your workouts i would say garmin. instead if you are looking to a smartwatch that helps you during the day-life i would suggest you apple watch
