[QUOTE="Balt21, post: 16607305, member: 165808"] I have a Garmin Vivoactive, it's quite a few years old now (they're on the Vivoactive 4 now) but it has been solid. It can display texts and who is calling you if your phone is nearby, but you can't reply or talk through it like the Apple Watch. I think you may be able to reply on the newer ones (though that may just be for Android). It easily goes a week, if not longer, before it needs charged. From my research when looking at smart/fitness watches, both the Apple watch and Garmins/Fitbits/Polars, etc. can do smart watch things as well as fitness things, but the below is a general rule of thumb: Apple Watch - you value smart watch features over fitness Garmin, etc. - you value fitness features over smart watch features Look up DesFit as well as DC Rainmaker on Youtube for the watches you're considering. They both go into a lot of detail on pretty much any smart/fitness watch out there and do comparisons of them vs. other similar watches. [/QUOTE]
