Smart Watch recommendations

[Amaterasu]

Yes I know many brands can.

But you said you were trying to shift away from smart watches. So its not a matter of brand.

Personally if you choose to wear a smart watch, the brand Google, Huawei, Samsung, Garmin, Apple, etc is a matter of preference.

Form factor also. I'll look quite silly to wear a mechanical watch together with a garmin watch on both my wrist.

Fitbit air is a scaled down screenless tracker so wearing that is fine.

Using Pixel Watch 4 41mm, works fine for my daily usage.
Bad thing is that it only lasts a day. Good thing is 20 mins can charge finish.
45mm battery bigger but watch also bigger.

Garmin still no horse run for battery life but VERY basic functions.

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.

If the BP watch strap spoil liao how much to replace?

Only wear it for jogging in the evening

Garmin 165 or 170 is good enough to track your runs

Last around 1.5 to 2 days with LTE always on. Usually I just connect it to the magnetic charging puck when I get home. A marathon shouldn't be a problem.

Are you subscribing the Numbershare from the telco in order to use it independently?

Apple is sibei jialat, Garmin also not good. Is it there are shelter along the route?

Yes, I was running at Level 26. There are shelters along the way too, and at Level 50 sky garden.
FYI, garmin gps accuracy maybe 99% correct.
