minus-squareDamage@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoI’ve read that Samsung and Apple smartwatches are better than Garmin at detecting cardiac issues tho.
minus-squaredmtalon@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoProblem with the smarter fitness watches is battery life. My Fenix can go about 2 weeks with running 4 days a week. I do t want to have to manage charging my watch so often it’s a pain to capture my life. (Sleeping, steeps, activities)
