Pretty much. I have an Apple Watch, my wife has a Garmin.

I’m jealous of the advanced metrics and data she has on all of our workouts and the accuracy. And that battery life.

She’s jealous of all the slick bells and whistles (unlocking my laptop automatically, deep app ecosystem, managing grocery lists etc).

Neither is perfect but both have their uses. You have to pick a side (or spend twice as much and pick both sides ;-)).



The battery life negative on the Apple Watch is the big thing. I have an Ultra that is a bit better but I don't wear it say-to-day because the charging routine is a bit of a pain.


why do you want your watch to manage a grocery list? seriously


I can see it being useful to have a list on my wrist whilst going round a supermarket.

Yea this sucks the moment you are shopping for anyone besides yourself. You can split up the items in the grocery store and be done way faster. Even alone, the person at home can add some last minute items.

Just use something self hosted like Mealie. I'll be shopping for what I want to make and then see something is on sale and can easily look up a recipe to add to the list as well.


maybe try your own memory, so you don't lose every scrap of data about yourself to the Book Goblins in the process.


i find it very convenient being able to, at any point in the day whether my hands are messy or my phone or a piece of paper are far from me, simply raise my wrist and say "add greek yogurt to my grocery list"
