    Much better than a smart watch for health metrics, and the battery life is 10 days which is much better than 18 hours on a smart watch.

    Overall I prefer this to my Apple Watch when it comes to running. It takes some learning switching from apple but I do love the data and the more granular approach you can take when it comes to your running training.
