Who likes their watch?

Question

I’m in the market for a new watch. Currently using Apple watch but went on a 6 hour climb yesterday and it died on me. Battery is only good for about 6 hours in GPS mode and about 3 if using GPS and music. Not good for a multiday climb.

Started researching best watches but there is too much info so I thought I would post here. Anyone really like their watch and would recommend it?

All seem to have good set of standard features but I’m looking for watch that has good battery life in GPS mode, has music (for my runs), is not glitchy, syncs well to Training Peaks and syncs well to chest strap.

Thanks!

I know that Samsung Galaxy watches are very good and can meet your needs.

I feel your pain. Apple watches are great, but battery life isn't for long hikes. Garmin Fenix or Epix services are known for their long battery life in GPS mode and have music storage. Check it out!

If you're tired of your watch tapping out mid-hike like it's on a battery-saving strike, you might want to check out the Garmin Fenix series. It's like the marathon runner of watches - keeps going and going, complete with tunes and all the sync-ups you need!

I had a similar issue with my Apple Watch. It died during my cycling contest, so I decided to switch to the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and made a good decision. The battery life is a lot better than that of Apple watches. It lasts up to 14 days in smartwatch mode and about 36 hours in GPS mode. It also has music storage, so you can leave your phone at home on runs. It Syncs well with Training Peaks and works flawlessly with my chest strap. If you also want a reliable, long-lasting watch, consider exploring some replica watches . I found a replica Rolex on a website, and it looks and functions exactly the same as an authentic one. I know the watch isn't electronic, but it looks very nice and can be a stylish alternative to non-sporty occasions.

I highly recommended the Garmin Fenix 7 - It has excellent battery life in GPS mode, supports music and syncs seamlessly with Training Peaks and chest straps. Perfect long climbs and runs!

Finding the perfect watch for your outdoor adventures can be a real journey. I remember when a friend of mine faced a similar dilemma. He needed a watch that could keep up with his long hikes without draining out halfway. After some research, he stumbled upon a brand that offered rugged watches with impressive battery life. Interestingly, while browsing, he came across some premium class men's watches that surprisingly matched the performance of their authentic counterparts. Although he didn't opt for one, he was impressed by the craftsmanship. Perhaps exploring such options might lead you to a watch that ticks all your boxes.

FWIW, I love my Garmin Fenix 7. It comes in several sizes and the battery lasts a LONG time. No issues syncing with TP either.

If you’re looking for a watch with great battery life, GPS, music capabilities, and reliable syncing with Training Peaks and chest straps, I’d recommend checking out some Garmin models. They are known for their durability and long battery life, especially in GPS mode. Personally, I prefer classic watches for everyday use. I usually buy replicas from Replica24 because they offer high-quality replicas at a fraction of the cost of the originals. My favorite model is a replica Rolex Submariner I got from there. It’s stylish, reliable, and much more affordable. I recommend buying replicas because they allow you to enjoy the luxury and style of high-end watches without spending a fortune.
