Garmin running watch. Never liked running but am a list checker and analyst; seeing my inactivity or progress drive me to be more consistent and active. I’m massively healthier and happier as a result. Also first one lasted 10 years, 1-week battery life. Just bought a replacement last year(face was scuffed up after 10 years but was still running like a champ). No idea why other watches have such crap battery life without offering more features than Garmin but it’s brought me joy, mental and physical health.
nice. Ive thought about getting a smart watch but specifically for blood pressure. But ive seen a lot of reviews saying its not accredited. Which kinda sucks.
Withings is the only one that both has BP monitoring AND a long battery life without sacrificing app security.
I just hate the look of the Withings watches.
Like OP, I love my Garmin. I have one that lasts 30+ days each charge; tracks my sleep, heart rate, steps, and calories; and gives me minimal notification and music control.
If it could reliably monitor BP and last at least 30 days between charges, I might consider an upgrade. Until then, I will wear this thing until it dies.
Is gadget bridge OS? I’m not familiar with what it does/offers, etc.
Data privacy was somewhere Garmin was better than other providers when I looked at it, though that’s relative and also with how fast companies are coming out fascist maybe I’ve missed them losing any privacy advantage?

Gadgetbridge works pretty well with them too if you want to avoid giving Garmin your data.
