Anyone Using A Sports Watch

A while back questions were asked here about what sports watch others can recommend.

I have friends who use different watches, from Apple, Samsung and others.

Non has the battery life of the Garmin Fenix 6X.

Three os us used these on safari last year, and were very impressed with them.

There are differences in readings which we were not able to understand.

Altitude on each was different - and we were all hunting together.

So was heart beats.

Basically they are not as accurate in these functions as we would have hoped.

But, battery life with no GPS is 31 days.

I have not used one for that long before charging, but the days count down is correct - it goes down one day at a time, as indicated.

Using the GPS takes quite a bit of battery time off.

I am afraid I have not measured it in real days.

I will do so next time I am out on a trip.

But, what I found was using the Bluetooth app connected to my iPhone takes 10 days off right from the start.

A full charge shows 21 days, instead of 31 days.

I imagine anyone going out for a week or more, using both GPS and Bluetooth will need to have a source of power to charge it.

I've used a Timex Expedition for decades. I'm on my second one because the strap finally broke on the first one and I lost it. Good value for money and you can count on it.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 35 and I love it. Got it used for under $30 and before this watch I never wore a watch. I feel naked without this one! Battery life isn't 31 days, but I like seeing the data it pulls from the gps/bluetooth on the garmin phone app.

I have been using the Garmin Forerunner since 2010, and have had good luck with it. My experience is that the GPS distance feature averages about 2% short of the actual distance.
