 Watch Series 6

[Snoweagle]

Round watch and longer battery life!

I doubt round watch, else current straps will not be compatible. Longer batt life possible as current Series 6 already lasts a little longer than Series 5.

Yes, if you’re not choosy about the casing and color of the strap...

 

[ryan_khoo]

Yes that’s an appropriate Hr level

Ok bro gt_5454, let’s proceed.

In Garmin, we can set many type of alerts in any types of activities and each combination can have different type of alerts, even with same type of alerts and can different alert level.

So, in this example, we are going to do the alert level for running activity (you can repeat for other activities, so when u run, remember to select run bcos if you select say cycling during run, the alert type and alert level will be different. Worst still if you set nothing for cycling activity abd you select cycling when you’re actually running, then there will be no alert at all)

So, ok, we gonna do the alert for RUN activity and HEART RATE alert and level for high alerts is zone5 (Z5) [and u can set the same for low level alert [Z4].

Ok, goto your Garmin Watch, select:
Settings > Activities & Apps > RUN > Run Settings > Alerts > Heart Rate > High Alert > Maximum Z5

Settings > Activities & Apps > RUN > Run Settings > Alerts > Heart Rate > Low Alert > Threshold Z4

Repeat for other activities and for other alert types if you want...

Hope the above helps

Cheers

Lol I’m split after reading this

Not to mention, AW’s method to end a run is not by pressing a physical button but rather thru software.

To end a run in AW, you need to use your sweaty finger to swipe the small touch screen to the right, then use your sweaty finger to press END on the small touch screen. Then again, using your sweaty finger to scroll the touch screen all the way down and again using the sweaty finger to press DONE on the small touch screen.

And then if u suey, when u wanna end your run, someone send you message or whatnot, you receive notification and u need to clear the notification before you do the above.

Garmin use physical buttons to press to end the run ... which is more practical !

alternatively, may I suggest that if you want accuracy

1. Press the crown and the side button at the same time — That'll pause the activity.
2. Then scroll with your finger to the left screen to end the activity.
3. Use the crown to scroll through the activity summary.

I believe you have Mobile Data on your Apple Watch... you can do it in 1 step.

1. Raise your watch and say "Stop workout"

You can turn on the Workout Do Not Disturb setting to automatically silence calls and alerts on your Apple Watch when you begin a workout.

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap Do Not Disturb.
3. Tap Workout Do Not Disturb.

When your workout ends, your watch will receive calls and alerts again.

Thanks Pet Pet for this alternative method. Yes, I have tried this before too. I find this is even more cumbersome because it’s very difficult to get 2 fingers to press the crown and backbutton (especially the back button bcos the back button is flat & not embossed and our 2 fingers are fat) plus when you’re jogging your body is actually up & down and doing these series of steps just to end a run is challenging ...

anyone know if singtel store/shop is selling the blue aluminum version of the apple watch S6? saw their online shop only black, silver and gold only...

You have any tips for AW to display the splits very 400m & to report the data in Activity apps showing the metrics for every 400m instead of the default 1km ? In Garmin, you can set to anything and I always set the split to 400m. Thanks

Thanks for the tip !!! Will give it a try later.

You don't have to, if you refer to the guide. I believe you just have to set it once and that's it.
It'll turn on whenever you start an activity.

Don't restrict yourself to just the Fitness App.
There's third party apps like Strava that should provide the functionality you're looking for.

 

[gt_5454]

You’re welcome ...

Hi bro ryan_khoo, like to ask how you rotate or manage to use both a Garmin and AW ?
Seemed that both watches requires you to wear hem every day and even during sleep to form our health and activities statistics. Do you interchange both of them or you have them sync to a single app?
I am assuming you do not wear any other mechanical watches to add to the complication , or in some ways duplication

Hi Pet Pet,

I used Strava quite regularly though I don’t claim to be an expert in Strava. I can sync both my Garmin & AW to Strava. But when you don’t run with your hp, it depends on the input from the watch. For specific cases, like being able to see your data like pace, time, cadence, heart rate every 400m, need to configure it thru the watch and for apps to present it. Strava can’t do it. So far, I find only Garmin can do it but no one can still show we are able to do it with AW or any 3rd party apps that can do it via AW...

thanks

Haha bro gt_5454,

For me, i am not too bothered about the health statistics really. I only concentrate on the data and statistics of my evert run. For this purpose, i wear the Garmin bcos for what i want, Garmin is streets ahead of AW, many things Garmin can do within its own apps and the Garmin watch itself also have many big buttons to start and end the end. Presentation of the stats during the run on the watch and after the run on the apps also much better in Garmin as compared to AW. Furthermore, most importantly, Garmin can alert & warn you of high Heart Rate when you’re running which AW cannot.

But if i run during the night at secluded areas, then i use the AW for security as it can make phone calls which Garmin cannot.

For during normal time like working or dinner when not exercising, then i use AW bcos aesthetic wise, i think AW is streets ahead of Garmin.

My 2 cents ...

Thanks

Thanks bro ryan_khoo for sharing your thoughts.
If I may add on to ask which will you choose if you can only have 1?

Hahaha I know I am making it difficult for you.
Cos I have mechanical watches, fitness tracker, garmin 245 and now contemplating to get AW SE

same, was always using mechanical watch. when going for run I always bring my phone out. since I had SE now I don't have to bring my phone out... I still wear my mech watch from time to time, depends on where I'm going.

 

[davi502]

I ordered online last Monday. Slated to arrive 3/10 - 08/10. Still put processing. Now Apple Watch is pre order kind ah, wait for machines to make?

Think it also depends on the kind of strap you are going with. It will affect the ETA date.

Haha bro gt_5454,

For me, i have to have both ... because i am an apek now, i need the cellular function for security purposes that’s the only reason I bought the AW.

To answer your question, you need to ask yourself which of these 2 are more important:
1) to have the watch to warn/alert you when your Heart Rate is high during the run
2) to be able to make a phone call out during emergency at night while running ?

Bcos AW cannot do (1) above and Garmin cannot do (2) above.

If your main purpose is to wear it for social purpose, the the AW.

If your main purpose is for running, get Garmin.

I cannot answer the above question, both oso want, so i have to buy both *

Hope that helps ...

Cheers
