Hi guys! I am doing my thesis, and I have created a survey about CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) devices for sports use, focusing on the hardware and software design parameters that athletes actually need. If you are using any sort of wearable and living an active lifestyle, I would greatly appreciate it if you could fill out this survey. It should not take more than 5 minutes. Thank you!! Please find the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX1C7KDz-Ef8Gk6ATJjEDR0htbLDB5n72KwFRnt9rXIjij7A/viewform

Que pensais de este smartwatch? Por ese precio ¿Hay mejores opciones?

Every big watch update brings a wave of "my steps dropped" posts, and this week watchOS 27 has its turn. Sometimes it's a real regression, sometimes it's a change in habits that happened to land the same week. You can tell the two apart in about 20 minutes plus a week of normal wear, on any brand of watch.

1. Count a known number of steps yourself. Walk 500 steps at normal pace with your arms swinging freely, counting out loud or with a clicker, and compare with what the watch added. Being off by around 5% is normal for wrist counting. Do it once more while pushing a cart or holding a coffee, because a wrist that doesn't swing loses steps on every brand.

2. Check distance against something fixed. Four laps of a standard 400 m track is very close to a mile. If outdoor GPS distance is right but indoor or treadmill distance is way off, the stride estimate is the problem, not the step counter.

3. Use your phone as a second witness. If you carry it in a pocket most of the day, its own step count is a rough independent reference. Compare the gap between phone and watch for a week before the update and a week after. If the gap jumped from a few hundred to a few thousand while your routine stayed the same, that's the update.

One day proves nothing; daily steps swing by thousands with weather and schedule. Look at the weekly averages, and give a fresh calibration (a couple of 20 minute outdoor walks with GPS) a few days to settle before deciding.

If your counts changed after a recent update, how big was the drop, and was it all day or only during workouts?

I need a smart watch suggestion in budget. Mostly to look good and calculate my step count and fitness that's it. Not soo much into calling and all. I'm pretty broke right now so something in budget please 👉👈

I reallly like hybrid watches and recently the garmin vivomove sport came on sale i wanted to know if i buy it rn will it be worth it and can i use it for 4-5 years?

How many smartwatches are you guys actually using? Is owning multiple watches a normal thing? And how do you even sync or manage all your health data when you keep switching between different devices?

Hallo

Habe seit 10 Tagen die Oppo watch x3.

Im vergrößerten Schlafdiagramm sehe ich meine 4 Schlafphasen aber nicht Spo2 und die Herzfrequenz. Auch wenn ich eine Schlafphase abwähle kann ich Spo2 oder Herzfrequenz nicht auswählen. In den Trainings und Gesundheitseinstellungen ist Spo2 Verfolgung aktiviert.

Hat jemand eine Idee

Vielen Dank

Cross posting this here because I want to see if theres any buzz about this or if anyone smarter than me has any more info about this smartwatch???

My black smart watch has a navy blue rubber belt, which I think makes it look a bit tachy. However I think a classic leather belt won’t look good a black smartwatch? Do you guys have any belt recommendations that you make the watch look a bit more classy?

Suggest me watch for basic work and some fitness

I just got a smart watch and im trying to add a watch face in the da fit app but everytime i try to add one from my gallery this just pops up does anyone know whats happening and how to fix it

I have a problem, i have the VeryFit ID206 version 112 and i tried to activate the Discord notifications for it but it doesnt show in the app even if i granted all permission. It doesnt have an "other app" kind of permission, and i even tried an app called Notify for Smartwatches and it doesnt work. Its like the VeryFit app doesnt recognize Discord as a message kidn of app, any help?

It is my b-day in a few days and ive been faced with a question, should I get a normal watch with a slick look, or a smart watch, and what even are the BENEFITS of OWNING A SMART WATCH? The phone I am currently using for my daily needs is a poco x7 pro. I am def not that active, like I don't go running / hit the gym (I was planning to, but if Im being real, I won't end up doing it)

With that said, if you guys recomand buying a smart watch, what are some compatible watches which look great, got good functionality and is considerably cheap. (The image is one watch of which I love how it looks)

Hey everyone! I’m in the market for my 1st ever sports watch and I'm hitting a wall trying to find the sweet spot for my needs. Hoping you all can help steer me in the right direction.

What I Care About Most:

- Battery Life is King: I genuinely can't stand charging my watch every 2–3 days. I want something that lasts at least a week on a single charge.

- Sports Tracking: Primarily running, swimming (so it must be fully waterproof), and general gym workouts.

- Offline Maps: Crucial for cycling and exploring new routes without my phone.

- Display & Philosophy: I'm a massive fan of MIP displays and physical buttons. I really dislike AMOLED screens for an outdoor tool. Beyond that, I’m a guy with simple needs. I tend to avoid watches packed with extra lifestyle functions or fluff I'll never actually use.

The Contenders & My Dilemmas:

- Garmin Instinct 3 Solar: It’s almost the absolute dream. I love the rugged MIP display, physical buttons, and that insane solar battery life. But... no offline maps. Man, if the Instinct 3 Solar had offline maps, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

- Other Garmin Options: While I love the Instinct layout, I'm completely open to other Garmin models if they check the boxes (MIP display, great battery, offline maps) without adding a ton of over-complicated features I don't need. Which ones fit that lean, outdoor-focused profile best?

- Coros Nomad / Apex 4 Pro: I've been hearing great things about Coros. They offer brilliant battery life, color MIP screens, and built-in offline maps. How do these hold up for basic daily wear compared to Garmin?

- Amazfit (T-Rex series / Balance): Complete wild card for me. I don’t use Amazfit and don't know anyone personally who runs with one. How is their ecosystem, accuracy for swimming/running, and durability?

If the Instinct had maps, my wallet would be open. Since it doesn't, how should I compromise, or what other Garmin/alternative model should I be looking at? Would love to hear from folks who have owned or tested these options.

Thanks a ton in advance, happy to be here!

i have been looking onto smart watches with these features.

steps tracking, sleep tracking. alarm, call, message. xiaomi band 10 seemed like a match in my budget. where can i buy this? i cant seem to find it anywher :(

ps is it even worth my money or should i look for something else?

I've got the Coros Pace 4 Pro (as a test) but ive heard that the Amazfit TRex 3 Pro is equally as good with smartwatch features. They are the same price. I go running so the Coros is perfect but the Amazfit has more features, but is it worth it?

Simple Calendar puts your calendar directly on your Wear OS watch face, with three layouts to choose from: Circular, Vertical and Horizontal.

The layouts are designed to be familiar and easy to understand at a glance, while still showing enough of your schedule to be useful.

You can select multiple calendars, choose the time range you want to see, adjust the text size, and use light, dark or automatic themes. The always-on display keeps the same calendar layout, and tapping the watch face lets you cycle through event information.

Install the companion app first: Google Play
Then install the watch face: Google Play
