Chest strap is also essential for weight training as holding a tight grip around a bar will alter blood flow past the wrist leading to an inaccurate measurement from the optical HR sensor.

I’ve been using Apple Watches since the Series 2 and they’re amazing but they collect all this data and don’t really do anything with it other than trending notifications every now and then. I bought a Forerunner 265 and I prefer my Apple Watch S8 in terms of user experience but with a Garmin it feels like I can make informed decisions on my health with the data. My question is, I only run and do strength training 3-4 times a week and yet you’re way more athletic than me and prefer and Apple Watch. Am I missing something?

This morning, after doing a 3 mile run yesterday and a 30 minute strength training session in the evening, my Garmin Forerunner told me to have a rest day because it looked at the data and knew my body needs to recover. It also gives me so many insights into my health and what to do to improve things. I could run a marathon and the next day my AW would say "make sure you close your rings today!"

@@ShervinShares I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of your channel by the way, so I hope my comment didn't come across like I was being arsey. I'm no where near as serious as you when it comes to fitness but I want to up my game and get back into half marathons. I've only been wearing it for 2 weeks but it recommends specific workouts or rest days, I can ensure I get a nice split of anaerobic/aerobic exercise, it gives me predictions on race times, monitors stress and I can even do training plans too. Some of the above can be done via the AW but it requires a myriad of different apps. I just wish Apple did more with the data it collected and you were less reliant on third party apps. The actual UX of Apple Watches are second to none. When I first used my Garmin, it felt like I'd gone back in time. Circling back to my original question, I guess I was just curious as you're far fitter and a better runner than me. Maybe I'm just overthinking it all.
