@atpfm@mastodon.social a few additional random watch thoughts for @marcoarment@mastodon.social * totally correct that Garmin/suunto/etc are terrible smartwatches * I think he oversells the “everyone has an Apple Watch charger” thing. Yeah they’re more common but still weird and obscure and uncommon. Just less so than others. * Garmin has a uniquely weird navigation/ui but it makes so much sense when you’re used to it and they’ve been doing it so long that it’s kind of their own language. * Garmin in particular have their own ecosystem- if you think using an Apple Watch for running activities is bad, imagine using it for serious cycling. A lot of Garmin people will have a Garmin watch and also a Garmin bike computer, and there’s a lot of synergy in the app there. And they have features Apple won’t touch. Because I hate myself I use Apple phones and computers, a Garmin watch, and a Wahoo bike computer. 😂

    @rconti@c.im @atpfm@mastodon.social @marcoarment@mastodon.social Using the Garmin, has their UI become less … slow and laggy lately? I’ve bought a Garmin every now and again, and they always keep so slow to do anything. Or is that just a thing you’re used to?
