I had an Apple Watch for a couple of years when they first came out. Personally, I didn't find it all that beneficial since I carry my phone everywhere, and most of the time it was just a glorified notification shade.
Hooked on nice mechanical watches now and don't think I could or would want to go back. As for using a non-Apple watch with an iPhone, my understanding is that key features like sending messages don't work, which feels like your giving up a lot of the reasons you might be considering a smart watch in the first place. |

I dumped my Garmin Vivoactive for a Withings Move. Does just enough tracking for me and like posted above I always have my phone anyway.

I am the absolute antithesis to everything in modern Apple's line-up and systems. As to the Apple watch, I can certainly understand their functionality - of which is extremely useful and streamlining in life. But smart watches are not for me in general, personally. Some call me a "boomer" because of this, I prefer "doomer".

Depends, if you have already an iPhone I would recommend to stick to that brand. If not I would prefer the Garmin.

I love my Garmin Marq Driver with built in timer. Great at the track.
But I also run, backpack, hike and get out a lot so good to have the motivation via accurate tracking of the metrics. Band is sexy with red highlights. |

https://www.samsung.com/us/watches/galaxy-watch6/buy/ I bought mine for $160, and with the trade-in value at $100, the watch will have cost me $60 to use for the last few years. Not a bad get. |
