Minister Chan is still wearing a Casio, while some ordinary folks feel the need to get a smartwatch just to show off how smart they are.
When you see low income keeping ask you to buy rolax... That's another level. When you see them walking, with right hand covering left hand whenever they walk to any doors or near any wall and etc.

I’m wearing Huawei D2 to track my blood pressure. It’s quite accurate. Also its battery life is around 7-9 days. The only problem is no Google payment system.

On the contrary I am trying to shift away from smart watches.

Using a Garmin for years with all the features you mentioned but in the long run, my exercise regime is 3 times a week. So outside those days I do not wear the fitness tracker watch.

Furthermore, my stats are very fixed and static so I basically know them without even looking at the watch so at this stage I am contemplating downgrading to a fitbit air instead.

To me the more important thing is the motivation to exercise, at this stage have watch or no watch is no difference. Unless you're a competitive athlete and needs the stats for your training.

Samsung watch 8. Last year model and still very capable and cheaper. I using the LTE model, jog without bringing phone mostly no problem. Can use browser to check real-time weather on NEA website. Can make phone calls and use WhatsApp to keep connected. Also got Samsung or Google pay to make payments that accept paywave, especially at vending machines along or after jogging. It's basically a micro phone on your wrist with fitness and health function.

If you want to pay using watch have to get one that supports Google Pay. Garmin Pay not so common in SG.

Err...... then you change to fitbit air for what? Sleep tracking?

I was using apple watch ultra 1 for few years, when I run at level 26 running track, apple watch GPS always haywire, but since I'm using garmin last year, GPS almost perfect, and battery can last at least for 2 weeks :)

one thing that I missed is the apple pay 🙂

Actually as long as the payment booth accepts visa or masters NFC, garmin pay will work with them all, dont need to have the garmin pay logo explicitly .

I know because I pay with it frequently and even works for Ezlink bus rides.
