Same position right now. In 4 days the return windows closes. I'm testing Pixel Watch 3 vs a Suunto Race S sports watch. PW is very nice but it's fragile for any sport so you must use a case. New fitbit metrics are good, but not good enough as a dedicated sports watch. Optical Heart rate is very good and it's the only reason to try until the last days. Suunto is an amazing device but it needs a chest strap to give decent results... It's a difficul choice for me. Great video Gabriel.
Thank you! And yeah it gives alright metrics, but it's still not at the same level that you would get from a sports watch. It's still a great watch, just not when I already own the Garmin
the only smartwatch i have ever liked is the Garmin watches. Have tried 4 different Apple watches, and have desperatly tried to like them. But the bad battery and lack of a real flashlight is a dealbreaker. minimum battery for me 5-7 days, anything less is a no go.
It really is such a night and day difference with battery life. I know people that will turn off AOD on smartwatches to get 2+ days, but I always say AOD off on Garmin gets to 13+ days which is just in a different tier
It’s funny that it’s marketed as a fitness device but the design makes it so prone to scuffs and scratches. I don’t like the fact that you need to Subscribe to another service to get additional metrics. Google should have included the service for free to get more users then pay for all or portions of the service later, IMO. It is a nice looking piece of tech but the points you’ve made are deal breakers for me.
It really is unfortunate when companies have you buy an expensive device and then charge a subscription on top of it to get all the features that the device already is recording. I'm hoping Garmin and others alike remain on the model of including all the metrics with the device purchase.

Great quality video man! I'm surprised to see there aren't more views.
Thank you! Appreciate the support
