Move from Garmin? (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I’m considering purchasing my first Apple Watch this year. I’ve worn a garmin for years and while it isn’t the most versatile when it comes to tech features, it is the top fitness tracking company out there.

Question is has anyone made the switch from Garmin to Apple? How did the AW compare to the Garmin on heart monitoring, sleep monitoring, stress monitoring? Was it easier to track workouts?

With the new series 9 out now is it worth getting the series 9 or the cheaper series 8?

My main draw to the AW is actually the loud noise detection. I have chronic tinnitus from loud noise exposure so have that notification would be helpful, but I actually want buttons on my watch lol.

Anyways any insights would be greatly appreciated.

If you are a runner, I can’t imagine going from garmin to Apple Watch. Software stuff aside, buttons are superior, apples wheel is PITA to use while running, even changing music volume is a chore.

But if you don’t run, then Apple Watch is better
