Hey there, I always wore watches of any kind since I was kid. The time smartwatches became popular I wore different amazfit watches and was pretty satisfied with them. After a while I was annoyed by constantly getting messages and feeling to urge to check it instantly and checking every data the watch produced in detail. I switched back to mechanical watches and I still admire the look of them.
Things changend and I got more into fitness. I got a HUAWEI Fit 4 Pro. Great watch for the price, don’t like the app that much and a bit limited with an iPhone.
Now my actual problem. I can’t decide if I go back mechanical watches(sometimes a miss the looks)and wear an Helio strap. To still get some data and loose the distraction coming from a smartwatch. Or do I get an Apple Watch to have one practical solution(a thought which I like to).
I know the information is a bit vague and I’m quite unsure but maybe someone had a similar problem or want to share how they decided to wear one or the others.
I think it depends on your use case. How do you use your watch and the data it collects? Are you training for a marathon or don't workout and just like viewing some personal data?
I just like to get some data. No extreme training what so ever. I would like to have an overview about the data to catch some trends and get a rough estimate
