hey everyone it's summertime which means maybe you're thinking about getting outside and doing some exercise maybe says the person who's glued to her laptop screen and her iPhone all day long unlike me I wear Garmin I sweat for breakfast I'm that friend that tells you to run up the side of a mountain or bike 50 miles for fun well in either case if you are looking to get outside and exercise a little bit you might be looking for a capable fitness tracker like the Apple watch which is awesome because Apple okay that is not a real fitness watch it's a smart watch that has some fitness capabilities I mean it's like a fitness watch for tech people this is what you should be looking at you're better off not looking at that at all because speaking of looks thing looks awful on your wrist I mean it's not about what it looks like it's about what you can do with it yeah yeah sure it is so this is the Apple watch and this is the new Garmin Forerunner 735 XT good god that's a mouthful why does Garmin even use those naming conventions the Apple watch is simple and it's sleek and in addition to showing UI message notifications and letting you pay with Apple pay it checks a whole bunch of different activities activities you call closing those colorful rings over their activities yeah the Apple watch is actually a pretty capable fitness tracker in addition to tracking your daily steps it also record specific exercise sessions like running walking cycling elliptical stair stepping and other workouts yeah yeah the Garmin does all that too and more is even though it's called the Garmin Forerunner it's actually a multi-sport watch so it tracks things like walking running hiking cycling Pama boarding and it's waterproof unlike the Apple watch so we'd even track swimming well the Apple watch reads your heart rate from your wrist and if you still prefer a heart rate chest strap you can pair it with that yeah the Garmin does that too oh also the Garmin has GPS Apple watch Fitness watch without GPS lol ok well the Apple watch has this really nice touchscreen display unlike that thing yeah which you can't really see that well when you're running outdoors in direct sunlight right also you can wear this Garmin to bed and it will track your sleep Apple watch doesn't track sleep right I mean it's not a core function of the watch but there are non Apple apps that let you track sleep but I mean everybody knows it's sleep tracking with these things probably isn't that accurate anyway mmm yeah yes as the owner of a fitness watch that has an 18 hour battery life you know how long this thing lasts more than seven days and that's when I'm getting in three to five workouts a week okay overachiever also and this is pretty major Garmin syncs all of your data to a mobile app that works in a bunch of different mobile phones and we'll also sync to desktop software unlike that Apple watch over there which only works with iPhones okay this is true but remember I said earlier you can get iMessage notifications on your wrist with the Apple watch well with the Apple watch you can also respond to them either using touch or using your voice making this a truly interactive watch I mean it's a pretty great SmartWatch and it's a really capable fitness tracker you can't say that about the garment also the Apple watch sport is now only $249 at Best Buy that thing is offensive okay so it's a little bit more expensive a little bit alright it's it's about four hundred and fifty dollars but that's what you're gonna pay for a serious Fitness watch which is what this is not that doesn't matter the Apple watch is great for iPhone lovers who really want notifications on the wrist and also care about their health it's not the kind of watch that you're going to use to train for your triathlon this is true but it's a pretty sleek capable fitness tracker you can also wear out to a nice dinner which is more than I can say about that okay I can admit that that's a pretty solid fitness tracker but considering it's the Apple watch sport it's still lacking some pretty notable sport focused features I still think this is way more practical even though I know it's more expensive but if you're serious about working out it has GPS it's waterproof its battery life lasts a really long time longer than that and it syncs data to a bunch of different operating systems so it might not be the fanciest watch in the world but it's pretty capable Tyler can you see what's in my eye according to my camera I said in my eye
