You have a nice sports heart then you would say, yes nice, but normally I was around 160 when I really had to catch my breath, seems pretty normal to me. During an hour-long workout in which there was intensive training with different workouts and running, the heart rate did not exceed 110.

Until the update came! After that, I don't think it made any sense anymore, at least I think it started after the update. In my opinion it was all much more extensive and nicer than the Fitbit. The first running session went well, GPS was fast, heart rate measured neatly, split times too, etc. It all looked fine, had to get used to the screen but I have to say that after 3 weeks I didn't miss the Ionic anymore, the V4 is a really nice thing to have on your wrist! In the evening play with that thing a bit, adjust settings etc. And as it goes with Coolblue, fast delivery, same day delivery if you want and that happened. In the dark, the backlight is also fine, but don't expect fancy colors. The LCD reflection screen of the V4 seemed nice to me, especially with sunlight it is a godsend, the brighter the light, the better it is readable.

Then the choice between V4 and Venu, the Venu has an Amoled screen and although I was used to the Ionic with the clear screen, I didn't need that for those 80 euros more. Garmin? Yes! Nice design, reliable brand in GPS systems and the reviews promised a lot. Polar? No, not my taste, I don't like design and the eye wants something, but it doesn't have to stand out. Samsung? Yes, beautiful but also a striking screen, big thing too and a bit flashy and I didn't want that. But I was done with Fitbit so a search for a new sports watch started: Pretty frustrated email sent to Fitbit, helped quickly and even though I was just 4 days (!) out of warranty, I got a new one out of leniency. Got a new one, and it lasted another 10 months, but it didn't feel like it anymore during a workout. Then I'm at 1.2%/hour, which would only be 3.5 days.Дў Years ago I bought a Fitbit Ionic, beautiful thing, I was able to exercise super with it, but after 14 months it gave up the ghost, black screen, no longer turned on. With spo2 on, it just makes it to 2 days which is way below 7 days.

Because I bought it for the advertised battery life. It will depend on whether the promised 7-day battery is met or if I keep it up. I do have a hard time justifying the price unless you think through how many exercises, accompaniments, and interpretations of metrics there are, that takes a lot of man-hours. If you want to know anything about your condition or exercise, it's there.

The Garmin Connect app on your cell phone is full of information, too much to list. Clearing notifications on your clock, also cleared them on your mobile (very handy!), right for android. Lines of text from notifications are more than you think, you can read the entire message in one go. GPS, emergency button + fall detection during activity (shares your live location with configurable contacts but does NOT call the emergency services yourself), barometer, notifications all work fine. Battery drain is a pity, so that sensor is off for me. At night you meet the majority of the conditions, so you can choose to measure the oxygen only at night.

Totally pointless during the day, unless for a manual snapshot. In addition to a heart rate monitor, there is an oxygen meter on board, but it consumes 6%/hour, the clock must be at heart level and you are not allowed to move. If not, the Garmin Venu is the same as this one but with amoled screen. You should do some research to see if the screen is suitable for you. Despite the low resolution, the screen is clear. There is the option of background lighting in case of dark surroundings, but then the colors are completely gone. The downside is that the colors are really faded. Illumination of a screen is what consumes the most, so this technology allows to always leave the screen on without using a battery. In fact, the more (sun)light, the clearer the screen (this is completely the opposite of what you are used to on your mobile phone). Garmin uses their transflective technology, which is basically an LCD screen with a reflective background, eliminating the need for backlighting during the day. The screen is not what everyone is used to. The strap is very elastic but does not wick away sweat. It feels, despite the very light weight, quite premium. The quality is excellent, fits nicely and firmly together.
