I tested Vivekitu 6 and Apple Watch SE, and Garman won

Apple Watch SE is a blueprint that most people expect from the Smart Watch: a clean design, deep smartphone integration, and enough welfare tracking features to stay healthy. At a lower price than the brand flagship lineup, SE is also accessible. However, with the issuance of Vivitative 6, Garman is stepping into the plate with a potential competitor.

After examining the two watches, it is clear that Garman is not trying to defeat Apple in his game. It is playing a different. And seriously about fitness, it can be an attractive possibility.

At one glance, these watches tell different stories. Apple wears watch like a piece of jewelry. It is a minor, round and familiar. Despite its strong tracking suit, I set it up with the clock’s faces that emphasize more aesthetics than stats, so the daily impression is less sporty and more secret tech (or can be secret like a smart watch). It is also so common that it does not say much about my fitness behavior. You are so likely that you will see Apple Watch on an executive as you are on a lightning mother.

In other words, I am just as comfortable as I wear at the dinner party as I am on the treadmill. On the contrary, Vivoactive 6 feels unforgettable. Its rounds, the first construction of sports and the physical buttons are made for the gym (or trail), and when I think it’s a good -looking clock, it is not as high as Apple’s offerings. This is the first and most important fitness tracker.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that the SE fits more scenario, the Garaman lasts longer thanks to his amazing battery life. As is often the case with Garman watches, longevity is a strong point of vivoactive 6. Apple Watch SE needs top -up daily, which lasts for only 24 hours in the midst of allegations. Vivoactive 6 I easily continued for five days per charge. This kind of endurance means that I do not need to think about charging it before an additional or morning workout, and I can take it overnight adventures without packing a cable.

Exercise and the weekend adventures, of course. , Where the garaman shines. Vivoactive detects everything from 6 steps and calories to train loads, recovery time, heart rate variation (HRV), stress and sleep, as well as specific tools related to germins such as physical battery and health snapshots. It is an incredibly dense platform that transforms stats into viable insights.

Apple has made great progress in sporting sports, but Garaman has kept the figures in the context that seems to be more athlete. When I train very rigorously, the Garman responds with the advice of the recovery. When I perform less, it gives me the same guidance. I like Apple’s ring as the main stimulus as the next person, but Garman’s tools are made for more dedicated athletes and data junkies.

Even on the accuracy of the GPS, the Garaman still keeps the shore. I followed the same path with both watches and compared the maps. Garman’s tracks were hard and more permanent, especially in trees and dense areas. You can see on the top of the SE route that I drown in the road instead of sticking to the path I run. Around the turning point, he has also placed me on the full opposite direction of the road. To be fair, overall, the SE is great, but if there are real precision issues, the carman is still quality.

Of course, the Apple Watch SE is a better smart watch. It handles calls, texts, voice commands, app support, and music control without any obstruction in which Apple can only pull. Hoptics are crisp, the interface is smooth, and support for the third party app is unparalleled. And still, during exercise, I found myself permanently engaged. Deep iPhone integration means that my focus is a flood of business, banners, group chats and news alerts. On the contrary, Vivoactive 6 remained silent. It only provided accessories: a notification here, a calendar alert there. And when I need to check something, the interface was easy and free from disturbance. By stopping exercise or changing my music, I was not tempted to scroll into the family chat. Sometimes, the less is really more, especially when you look for an excuse to leave the middle and quickly.

So yes, Apple Watch SE is about to please the sheep. This is the last entry point in the Apple Watch world and is impressive for price. It has long been my preferred option for everyday clothing because I love smooth integration and strong app support with my iPhone (out of the gym setting). But Garman is not chasing Apple’s formula. Vivoactive 6 data is doubled on fitness, a week’s battery life, and tools that help you better train you. When I am in the thickness of a training cycle and cares more about the distribution times than the answers to the text, its focus is more useful than that.
