  • Should you buy an EPIX 2 or a Balance? Does Amazfit know more about recovery, body readiness, sleep scores, GPS accuracy, resting heart rate, and sleep tracking than Garmin? These questions and more are answered in this video. My final verdict about these two wearables will be released over the next...
    Day 1 began sometime in September 2023

    Yeah, there should have been a different ending to this video. My apologies for the abrupt ending. Perhaps, it could be, might be, should be considered a "cliffhanger" in hopes of having Followers of watches returned later this week for more fun content about wearables, eh?

    The Morning Report on the Balance would be that much better if it included the Sleep Score.

    Hi there, just a small question: im waiting for my Balance to come, and i saw elsewhere that the sleep score would adjust sonehow after few days or weeks of use, is that the correct assumption? :) I've decided for balance because of all the features for such a "budget" smartwatch:)

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, after a few weeks a smartwatch learns more about your body, its habits, and other factors. Users can also adjust the sleep window each morning if Amazfit has you going to bed/waking up at the wrong times. A lovely feature that not all applications allow.

    It’s my perception or epix screen is smaller than balance ? Garmin borders are huge

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are… correct! The Balance has a larger screen realestate over the EPIX 2 😊

      Yes, I think it is accurate. I'll be sharing more sleep statistics about the EPIX 2 very soon.

      Yes, sleep tracking works while in sleep mode at night only. Garmin is going to release an update soon with the ability to track naps :)

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Yes, two too many and twice the amount of data. Over the past several months my nightly quota for sleep has been the following:
      1. a watch on the left wrist
      2. a watch on the right
      3. Ultrahuman Ring Air - right index
      4. ŌURA Ring 3.0 silver - right thumb
      5. ŌURA Ring 3.0 slate - left index
      6. ŌURA Ring 2.0 - right ring
      Yeah, and that is four too many gadgets to bed ;)

    which epix 2 are you using? the 51 or 47 or 41mm? is sapphire or not? please be more specific

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Garmin EPIX 2, not a sapphire screen for it was not available at that time, yet it should have been. And the screen size is 47mm in diameter. It is a lovely watch and I still recommend it. If you would like a smaller watch that tracks nearly the same amount of health metrics, yes, the COROS Pace 3 is a great timepiece.

    Super test, everything included. I have the Amazonfit since yesterday, suffering from very serious sleeping problems. I was last night almost 80 percent awake, but the sleep counter sais it was good. Readyness 84. I feel OK, but is it enough to stay calm in bed? I need the watch for health reasons, could you recommend it for that? Thank you, greetings from Vienna, Andreas.

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For health reasons, yeah... I would ask your doctor what watch he recommends. For me, I would go with either an Apple Watch Ultra 2.0 or the Garmin Venu 3 or the Garmin EPIX 2. Now, if you don't want to wear a watch to bed, yes, there is the Ultrahuman Ring Air. Best of luck and I hope you sleep better, and feel better, soon🤞

      @@TheManWithTwoWatches Thank you very much for the answer. I saw a video, where the Amazonfit was not accurate in terms of sleep tracking. But I will keep it, because of the design and don't won't to change. A Doctor will not have the right answer, maybe a spezialist in sports or a cardiology. Thank you. I will wright an update after a few weeks.

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Cool beans. Honestly, day to day, yes, the Amazfit Balance is quite accurate for the price and consistent with the data. When it comes to intense workouts, yep, a chest strap or arm strap, like the COROS Heart-Rate Monitor, will give a human the best heart rate analytics. I hope you enjoy your watch and your sleep improve soon...

    Do you switch watches on both arms to get an accurate reading?

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wearing more than one smart watch on the same arm is... VERY difficult. They just slide into one another. I logged in my reMarkable 2 tablet
      Day One - EPIX on the left, Balance on the right
      Day Two - EPIX on the left, Balance on the right
      Day Three - EPIX on the right, Balance on the left, etc.

    Is the amazefit balance readiness score accurate?

    • @TheManWithTwoWatches
      @TheManWithTwoWatches  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For the most part... Yes, it is accurate. Amazfit needs to make the readiness score more dynamic and adjust it throughout the User's day according to naps, stress, activity, and 22 other variables 😁🤓🤠

      The Garmin EPIX 2.0 was released earlier this year. It finally landed on my wrist around February 2023. Garmin decided to make subtle changes, added a larger battery, a torch, and sapphire screen, and named it the "Garmin EPIX Pro." In reality, it is the EPIX 2.57.
