got a garmin to try and after 2-weeks can confirm:

1. nothing beats apple watch when it comes to accuracy across hr and sleep (while compared to medical grade devices).

2. garmin better at gps and battery.

3. for weightlifting, just use a chest strap eg polar h10.

one thing i liked about garmin: they integrate with other devices so you can wear a external hr monitor and connect to your garmin

yes polar wins always b/c how it works. thats why i got garmin to integrate but outside workouts where i dint wear polar, garmin wasn't way to off

For running, polar is also more accurate. I've had issues with both Apple + Garmin and sweat.

oura3 is the best for sleep afaik. but doesn't work for me b/c can't do rings at the gym. also i had two other problems with oura:

1. lost the ring easily
2. battery dies to 0% after 1-1.5years

have you tried oura? curious how that compares for sleep / heart

they make great hardware and strong/open ecosystem.

did you try benchmarking the hr or steps against another device? thats where it failed for me

i have had a fenix 5 for 3 years. A bit big and clunky but mostly happy with it and no strong desire to change or upgrade it

Solid breakdown. Apple Watch reigns for precision, but Garmin’s got that endurance edge!
