Best praise vs top criticism for Apple Watch Series 10
“The [Apple Watch Series 10](https://www.reddit.com/r/newproducts/comments/1gj7cy2/smartwatch_recommendations/) is an easy top pick for iPhone users—great health tracking, smooth Apple integration, and a polished design. For Android fans, the [Samsung Galaxy Watch 7](https://www.reddit.com/r/newproducts/comments/1gj7cy2/smartwatch_recommendations/) is hard to beat with its strong fitness features and solid battery life. Both are packed with smart features, so you can't go wrong with either.”
“lol yeah. I had a series 10 and a few months ago my wife switched to garmin and i got jelly so i got a garmin 3. I wore both my Apple Watch and venu 3 for a few days and the differences were striking. By the end of the day on average, Apple Watch said i burned 300-400 more calories than the venu 3! And i looked into it in apple health and it looked like Apple gives you SO much credit for the most mundane things. I remember a lazy day where I didn’t do jack shit. Apple Watch put my activity level in the “moderate” to “high” range like an athlete or something. Garmin seems to just be more accurate in general. Apple is basically: Here you go son. Enjoy your participation trophy. Get credit for everything. Garmin is like the David goggins of watches: get up bi**! You ain’t did enough! Sleep tracking on my garmin seems cooler. I like the calorie tracking and the fact i can see my total calories burned right off the watch. Workouts are better on garmin. Hydration tracking. I also bought the garmin scale that syncs to the app and it works well for tracking body fat and stuff. I also like the watch face store. Apple Watch just seems boring by comparison. Me and my wife went to the mall today and walked into an Apple Store. I saw an Apple Watch and thought i might feel something for it. Didn’t miss it at all.”
