    Sensor quality for heartrate is really good on the apple watch. There are a few studies about it. Garmin is really solid from what I can see though and ya, amazing battery life.

      Do you have a heart issue? Because if not, its like having a thermometer, still know when you have a temperature, but real time tracking. Asking because my girlfriend does have a heart issue, and there is really no other reason for it to be “the best.”

        Apple watch hits 98% agreement with the polar h10 while Garmin is only about 80%. It’s kind of a big difference. Sure most don’t really need it but that 18% means it can practically be used for medical studies, the Garmin not so much.

        I hate apple but I was really impressed with the watch.
