And like people who complain that apples laptops are too expensive you'll be bringing out examples with far fewer features, slower processors, worse displays and battery lives that only exist when the user doesn't track or run anything I'm guessing.

If you think Garmin watches are at all comparable to apple watches while still maintaining those long battery lives you've never used a Garmin watch for anything.

So many vacuous claims about supposed missing features, worse displays, worse battery life... and yet the only hard evidence/example in this entire comment chain is the horrible battery life of the apple watch...

You're not even trying to be honest or rational.

Because all of those things impact battery life. You are trading improved performance and features for worse battery life. These are not unrelated.

My Swatch has a battery life that makes any Garmin on the market seem pathetic. Is it fair to compare the two on battery life?

> Because all of those things impact battery life.

Oh 'all' of those zero specific things you mentioned impact battery life? Ok.

Anyway, I don't even care what the battery life is - my initial comment in this chain is replying to a guy who didn't mention any of these elusive (apparently taboo to name) missing features - they literally just tried to argue that lower batter life is an advantage because they can't keep a routine otherwise. Pointing out how absurd this reasoning is seems to trigger a bunch of other apple fanboys, which is just hilarious tbh.

Processing power, screen size and quality, active monitoring quality, AOD. There are a few things that will hugely impact battery life.

Lower battery life literally doesn't matter if you can charge it in the time it takes you to get ready in the morning. It has zero impact on usability.

The maximum battery lives advertised on sites are literally for doing nothing anyhow. My Garmin definitely does not have a multi day charge when I'm using it to track swimming.

You are doing the tech equivalent to her knees are too pointy.

> Processing power

What are you doing with your apple watch that requires additional processing power?

> screen size and quality

Many watches have larger screens, Apple screen quality is among the best - true.

> active monitoring quality

I mean... garmin beats apple hands down, so do other brands.

> AOD

Almost every modern smart watch has this?

> Lower battery life literally doesn't matter if you can charge it in the time it takes you to get ready in the morning.

'Having lower RAM literally doesn't matter if you can just use less.'

> It has zero impact on usability.

Cool story bro.

>What are you doing with your apple watch that requires additional processing power?

Using apps on it. If all you want is the time and a heart rate monitor than yeah apple watch isn't for you.

>I mean... garmin beats apple hands down, so do other brands.

I meant day to day active monitoring not when you're in a workout.

>Almost every modern smart watch has this?

Yes and go check their battery life differences when it's turned on.

>'Having lower RAM literally doesn't matter if you can just use less.'

I can charge it when it's not needed.

> I can charge it when it's not needed.

You can also run one app at a time save on RAM.

Yup, and if you don't need to run multiple apps at the same time that is a valid tradeoff if it buys you other things.
