I was catched by on of your "apple watch day in a life" videos a few weeks ago. Since then, i realy love to see new content from you! You are doing a great job and you are helping people like me!
I tend to get obsessed with the training metrics my watch is telling me. Your recent video reminds me again, no to get overanalytical. Thank you for this life improvement!!!!
I hope you will reach your running goals, keep movin!!
Cheers, Marcus
stache is back! love all your comedy bits man🔥
SUCH AN AMAZING VID
HAD THE BEST TIME WITH U:)
One of the best comparison videos out there between garmin and apple using apple ecosystem. Thanks
Hey excellent breakdown of it all, I have a forerunner 645 and love it I’m definitely staying with Garmin tactix 7 . Apple Watch just doesn’t have battery life I need. Also the dedicated buttons of Garmin simply Rocks ! Keep up the great posts
High quality video Shervin! Thanks for sharing this one and I am interested to buy this Apple watch for the gym and the work out I do, I had a good one but not an Apple brand
Yes! More ultra vids 🤙🏼
I enjoyed the video. As someone who has used both the Garmin allows you to set up hot key combos to get to various features. I have the standard hold down button to bring up music player. I have up plus start to activate Garmin Pay. This fixes all the times you talked about multiple button sequences to activate things.
I’m excited! Just ordered my Apple Watch ultra! Can’t wait to test it out! Thanks for all the info!
Thanks for the great vid.
How have you 'only' got 25k subscribers... Production quality is great
Been waiting for this vid for a while can’t wait to watch
Amazing break down. Looking fit brother.
great video. well filmed!
I love these videos because I’m interested in the Apple Watch Ultra and I also love New York ( never been there). From a Kiwi fan.✌️
Very good solid review and video
In the workout settings you can turn on “Press to Pause” which allows you to pause and resume a workout by pressing the crown and side button at the same time. Helpful if you’re wearing gloves or if you don’t want to look at your watch. I recommend disabling the screenshots function otherwise you’ll be taking a screenshot every time you pause and resume a workout.
Shervin's content is 🔥 and getting better every upload
Had a 30k training run yesterday and a 20k today. Both with Multiband-GNSS and non-stop Spotify as well as mapping on the first one. Started at about 85% and still having 68% or 15 days left on my Fenix 7.
Bruh chill out i struggle with 6km run -.-
Wow, that’s really good battery life. I have the forerunner 955, and if I ran that long the battery would be down by at least 50% (multi-band and Spotify)
Any settings you have changed to get that battery life? I have pulse Ox off but not sure what else I could do to get that kind of battery life
The Quantified Scientist showed it's sleep tracking is basically worthless. Mine shows "plenty of deep sleep" for nights when other trackers show 20 minutes of deep sleep, which is very low. HR is also not very accurate. I was able to give back my Fenix 7 thankfully.
TQS is paid by garmins biggest competitor 😅 always check your sources and their agendas and biases. It's difficult research but necessary if your not doing r&d yourself on products
@@mikeincanada_ check above
As always, great video and comparison. Btw, you can map a button on Garmin Watch to Garmin Pay if needed. For example in my case I mapped it to Start|Stop (w/ Long Press).
To add to this, at least on my Fenix 6x you only have to enter the passcode once each time you put on the watch. After that it uses your constant biometric readings to keep it unlocked. The second it loses heart rate it locks it again so you can unlock it ahead of time and not have to enter the passcode at the checkout.
I heard people saying it was annoying, but it's still faster than pulling my wallet out if I haven't taken my watch off or punch in the code while I'm waiting in line, and it's nice to have if I lose my wallet, or leave it behind for whatever reason.
@@AHungryHunky what you say it's true, I just want to add, that the passcode free usage of the wallet is valid for 24h (with constant HR reading), then you have to enter passcode again.
How do you map it?
@@momoller system settings - hotkeys
Totally hooked on your channel!! How in the world are you getting an hour + of deep sleep? I've been tracking mine for about a month and the most I've gotten is 46min. I wonder how good I'd feel if I got that hour+ ???? thanks for all the vids!
Sharp looking T-shirt! What brand is it?
Thanks for the review.
I would like to see how the battery degrades over time on the Ultra.
Shervin, is the Athlytic app recovery and readiness, sleep scores similar to whoop or the numbers very a lot? I got Apple Watch so don’t want to get whoop but this app seems very similar .
I'm team Garmin all the way. Battery life of a week plus is a must for me. And I don't need my watch to be smart. I have a phone for that.
Give me notifications, timer, mapping for hikes, health and wellness features, ability to store music and switch songs and I am good.
It would be nice to be able to do voice texting or receive calls on it, but that is not necessary.
And voice texting is only helpful if it has Google level accuracy. Otherwise I will just get frustrated and never use it.
I like the fact that the display on the ultra is so bright in direct sunlight… great video Sherv 💪 (don’t shave bro keep to growing) 😆
The thing is, with the Fenix you do not need backlight to see it clearly. Then adding again, if you like AMOLEDs, Garmin offers the epix.
You can set hot keys on your garmin and map one of them to the music screen.., and when you hold it down it shows
Great, entertaining videos, thanks! 🙌🏻
Quick feedback on the Garmin (yeah, I’m in the Garmin camp) 😉
Garmin Pay > Set up a button shortcut. Then you just have to press one button to access your Garmin Pay. IF you didn’t recently put in your pin or took your watch off it will ask for your pin. Otherwise it is just Press and Pay 👍🏻
Technically I believe that you are supposed to be able to pay with Apple Pay or Garmin Pay wherever a shop accepts contactless payment. On the store side it is indifferent if it’s one or the other since the terminal identifies ‘it’ as a contactless card. Not all shops accepts American Express, Debit Cards etc. But it doesn’t depend on Garmin vs Apple Pay 🤷🏻♂️
Music > If you didn’t sync Spotify or Deezer from home just once add your phones shared wifi as a wifi connection for your Garmin and then you are able to sync where ever you are 😉🤷🏻♂️
Directions > For navigation you might find it easier to use the Garmin Explore app on your phone or get the ‘Send Point’ app for your Garmin.
Keep up the good work! 🙌🏻
I feel like this video was made for me. Great breakdown. I was torn and ended up going with Garmin. I wanted all the metrics centralized and to not have to charge almost daily. Keep up the great work. Subbed
So far I only charged my AWU every 68-72hrs while having used it intensively
I use FR955 and Edge for exercises and sleep and AW Ultra over day.
@@OJ-xu8ik I’m guessing that’s with the always on display turned off? I had an Ultra and returned it since I was only getting a day and half with activities and the always on display turned on. For me, the MIP display Garmin uses makes more sense
@@christianmazza it’s always on and I use it to its fullest (that is considering I am not a pro athlete..). Maybe the last update tweaked the battery usage?
I don’t know how you can get it to last that long. I need to charge every other night and that was without gps activities and such just to test it.
Garmin pay can be set up to use with a single hotkey. And the password is only required when you put the watch on once.
I use a garmin venu 2 plus now. I will have a Forerunner 255 soon. We'll see how that does. I actually do have the Forerunner 45s right now. It does do all of the data tracking I need. The Forerunner 255 will provide a little more data. Venu 2 Plus has a bright screen, its great for those night training sessions. On my bike, I do have the Garmin Edge 130 Plus on it. Sums up my seriousness to fitness. Oh yeah, I have a heart rate monitor, speed, and cadence sensors as well and I can hook it up to any of the garmins.
Love the thumbnail
Thank you!!
Cool video I love my Garmin watch!
Garmin ftw! which watch do you have?
Shelving is a cool guy!!!!!
you do know that on 7x you can use the touch screen to enter a paycard pin, right?
So how does the sleep app work w Apple Watch? Do you need to sleep with it to monitor ur sleep ??
Actually my experience with Spotify is much more solid on the Garmin Epix vs my Apple Watch 5. Mind you that I don’t stream but download playlists on both. On the AW syncing works 50% of the time.
Maybe I missed you commenting on this but does it really make sense to compare the battery % if both were not at 100% at the start? Also, I use Garmin pay and have no issues with it - am in the EU though. But.. You can customise hotkeys on the Garmin so the pay is just a press and hold of one or two buttons. In addition you only need to put in the passcode once every 24 hours.
Polar chest strap is compatible with the Ultra?
Hi u probably don’t know but on Apple Watches 1-8 without Ultra u can klick on timer and its going to start workout without timer.
Both are great, I'm curious do you use both garmin connect and apple health or do you use just one app to gather all your date from each device ?
i use both apps. I feed my garmin workouts to apple health. but Garmin can't send everything so i look at the details in Garmin sometimes. I also use Strava for analysis of running workouts too pulling from Garmin/Apple
Aren’t those the best running shoes, i have them for mine the vivobearfoot…
Shervin. Another great piece of content. Like you? I have gone completely mad and bought an AWU and a Garmin Epix Gen 2. I have ONE big complaint with the Apple Watch Ultra (AWU). Apple Watch does not allow for recovery/rest days. Notifications from Apple tell you that you didn’t close all of your rings and “instructs” to close at least one. The watch (AWU) need to develop an algorithm that allows for rest days? And not “make you feel bad” for having a day off or switching off the watch.
The Garmin does let you know when you’re ready to train again - and tells you to take it easy on certain days.
I watched this video because of the thumbnail and I like your moustache
garmin pay and apple pay works in eu like normal mastercard and visa with nfc. i dont get it why you ask if they take apple / garmin pay😅
I have the Fenix 7X and I’m in no way a big runner but the watch overall is great! Way less distraction compared to the Apple Watch!
Yes sir. The clown that made this review has no clue what he’s talking about. I had both and kept the 7X Sapphire Solar.
Apple Watch Ultra is a smartwatch first and a fitness tracker second, the Fenix 7x is a fitness & navigation device first with some added on smart watch features. Someone who can train with an apple watch doesn't need a garmin 7x, someone who needs a garmin 7x cannot use an apple watch. They're not really comparable at all in my opinion. They're designed for completely different people. One is for ultra endurance athletes, multi-day trecks in the wilderness, etc. Apple does market their watch as being rugged and for mountaineering etc. however we all know those people still will use a garmin over apple watch. The crazy part for me about he apple watch is you can get a $400 watch that has similar sport tracking and will last you weeks if that's your thing. This would be like looking at two cars one built for offroading (super technical) that doesn't have heated seats, phone look up etc vs an audi A8 who can off-road but clearly it isn't it's main purpose.
My thought exactly!
Yeah except the Apple Watch has a vastly superior optical sensor, ether sleep tracking and no quality control issues (both hardware and software) with garmin… as a 10 year garmin user, it’s nice to have switched to a great watch
The point of these watches is the accuracy of the sensors and the sleep data from the garmin watches, ANY is worthless. So what’s the point of the collection of sleep data you get from it?
I’m like you in a way I’ve compared my series 7 with my amazfit gts2 it doesn’t compare to apple
Steven, his Apple Watch Ultra, his Garmin Fenix 7x, and his N O S E
Love the review, what app did you use on your Apple Watch Ultra to get your sleep score and recovery?
Athlytic
Athlytic & Chipr is another
I can’t believe you blocked that subway turnstile for that long without getting bumped out of the way 😂
HAHAHA #NewYork
one feture apple watch need is the option to turn off touch screen, and one more button would be welcom edition as well maybe joystick type button.
You can turn off the touch screen during workouts on apple watches. You’ve been able to for quite a while now
Serious athletes - Garmin
Average users who want durability - Apple Ultra
I prefer the Garmin due to being compatible with both IOS and Android plus all stats available online
Just curious as to why you never use the touch screen on the Fenix 7? You mention that there's a lot of button pushing to control music or use Garmin pay but you don't have to use any buttons if you don't want to.
He’s a clown 🤡
Yo - you always tote your iPhone without a case? Not even a bumper? Brave:) Maybe I should do the same...
Garmin Fenix 7x solar sapphire hands down, is the best Sports watch for athletes. Apple Ultra is the best Smart watch. I wouldn’t bring the ultra with me on a weekend Trail run because I’d run out of battery. Also the metrics that I get from Garmin are so much better. I wear my Garmin for sport and the Apple Watch Ultra as an everyday. I’m afraid to lose the metrics from my Garmin whilst wearing my Apple Watch, so I keep my Garmin on my ankle, and the ultra on my wrist when I’m not working out at work or out on the town. PS download purchased your music onto your Garmin. I just created four different playlists for running and working out so I have endless music of around 100 songs (I think it holds 2000). It also makes your music playing seamless. I press two buttons and I’m ready to go.
Agree Totally, Apple are just an ignorant company - the watches are great - sadly the battery life meant mine became a very expensive drawer ornament, right from Day 1 battery life has been dismal, make the watch thicker to fit a bigger battery in.
The 3,2,1 can be skipped just press the screen then no countdown
It would be interesting to know how exact the health tracking on these watches are
The Apple watch has the best heart rate sensors. Also, the watch has ecg something Garmin watches lack. Garmin watches have a lot of health trackings more than Apple but they are not accurate like body rest, stress, etc.. I still prefer garmin.
@@thecooldude4564 ok thanks man for answering. Im a owner of the fenix 7x since few days and garmin says im at max stress lvl all day long... so... im not :D was wondering why garmin do this so wrong
@@Texxler maybe lack of sleep?
Sometimes 5h of sleep, some times 7-8h... i doesnt matter
I was curious about the Apple Watch but when I started googling fitness watches the Garmin just fits perfectly for me. I plan on buying a forerunner because I like to run, would love to get better and improve my time and I just don’t really care for all the other features the apple watch has.
nice! also what about Coros? they make some running watches too - why Garmin over everyone else?
@@ShervinShares thanks for asking! Coros and polar pacer were one of the other watches I was also considering.
Based on reviews from people on TH-cam and from friends who are also into fitness, the coros doesn’t have a great hr tracking plus Garmin shows you a more detailed and explained wellness tracking that helps you know if you’re truly rested and if you could push yourself or if you should take it easy amongst many parameters it tracks.
I like that you can input an incoming race in calendars and it’ll modify the daily suggested training to help you train for that race. I’m also really interested in the Garmin badges haha there’s so many challenges to push you into trying new things just to collect them all and as someone who really needs that extra motivation, I appreciate it!
But! I think ultimately what made me stick to Garmin is what you mentioned, tracking your runs so that your friends or family know exactly where you are and that you can notify your safety contacts if you feel unsafe. As a woman that’s something that instantly made me go for the Forerunner.
@@gareless thank you for sharing! I'm hoping to make a Garmin vs Coros vs Apple video so I'll def share these points that you've made!
@@ShervinShares neat!! Looking forward to watching that video!
@@ShervinShares are you going to stick with just one? And if you are, which one?
Man's a Techy GIgaChad
🔥🔥🔥
Iv had both but Garmin heart rate is way off imo
Great review. Both are excellent devices. I have a Garmin Fenix 7, just upgraded from the Fenix 3 this year. I like how I don't need any extra apps like from Garmin for running, health and wellbeing, etc. I don't need the fancy Apple features. I can imagine if I was travelling the Apple watch would be nice to have a smartphone like map to help navigate though.
Love my Garmin though. You'd need to prise the Garmin from my cold dead arms.
I would def wear a Fenix 7 while traveling just for the sleep tracking.
Do you have issues with Garmin's heart rate tracking and/or blood oxygen accuracy?
I do not! It’s hard to say something is “accurate” as all my wearables give different numbers. I take all info with a grain of salt
Personally I’m might go with the garmin because of its battery life and the fact that I always have my phone with me and taking it out isn’t too much of an inconvenience when I need to, also do you know if it is possible to run the garmin purely off of solar
Did you grab one?
@@MelbourneExclusive0 no I didn’t end up getting one I’ll be sticking with my Apple Watch Series 6 for now because it does everything I need it to but when I upgrade I’ll probably go for a garmin Fenix
You should be getting way more battery out of your Garmin. Also, you can adjust things to make the things you use faster to open. Apple watch is both terrible yet overkill at the same time.
FYI the fenix line does not support diving, you would need a different Garmin watch for that
Just buy a Perdix 😂
Garmin is a top
What type of glasses are you wearing
Warby Parker
When you say 5-minute mile: do you mean 5:59 for a mile or 5:00 for a mile?
4:59 for a mile!

zenni optical?
Warby Parker!
Hey Shervin! How do you manage to not get sick while jogging in new york every morning in the cold weather? If i were you, I will instantly have pneumonia
Why dont you use touchscreen for entering your passcode for the Garmin?
I didn't realize that! I rarely use the touchscreen 🤦♂️
@@ShervinShares i also use it only for maps and passcode
Great review! I do afraid this „minor” hickups of Apple Watch regarding gps or fitnes tracking…hmmm still I think we need another Apple Watch iterarion….as you mentioned more computer on your wrist instead complete fitness tracker…regards!
sub 5min mile for what evetn ? marathon ? that'd be nuts right ?
checked your strava okay gotcha so 5min for only 1 miles which is already hard haha reason why i was spitting my water when you said your goal is a sub 5min mile
This is just a high quality video. That’s all. That’s the comment.
Google maps sucks. Cuz the blue gps dot is always off no matter what. Even if it's properly calibrated. It's always searching for GPS signal.
I’m new here. You said training for a 5 minute mile? When is your goal race?
by the end of 2022! do you think it's possible?
@@ShervinShares what is your current fastest race time?
5:26 !
@@ShervinShares let me know how you get on by the end of 2022?
I mean Apple’s motto back in the day was literally “there’s an app for that” loll
Hahaha touché

Hi Shervin,
Plz advise can I use Ultra watch to receive whatsapp msgs, Yahoo, Gmail if I use it stand alone? I really want this watch but I use android phone. Please advise. Thank you
How are you planning to use the ultra on android?
@@tuckersaylor4002 That's what I wana confirm because there is a work around but phone is not connected to the watch but you access to whatsapp, I wana know if i will access to emails too.
Get a Huawei Watch better sensors
@@spinrite1 Indeed but I really like the shape of it😔
The short battery life of the apple kills it for me.
I only click because the great moustache.
Great video man; because I'm a veteran and a outdoorsman rugged athlete I will stick with my Garmin smartwatch collection lol. Although for leisure activities I would consider apple smartwatch. Also the Garmin navigation 🧭 system is unmatched in my humble opinion lol. Anyways peace ✌🏿
Y no one is talking about apple watch can detect heart irregular rhythm to detect heart problems
Its so cryptic....
What app is that at 11:46?
AllTrails!
Ha! I have the Apple Watch ultra on the meet wrist and Fenix 7x on my right
Ayyy I’m the exact opposite! Let’s go double watch gang
Do you wear double watch all day long? Or just a daily driver and then double it when you are working out?
@@braddavister137 currently both all day long. I am starting to use Athlytic to get the Garmin like experience from the apple watch and, eventually, I will put the Fenix away until I need it. My plan will be to use my Ultra for everything except triathlons
@@rcuadro that makes sense. I have the ultra and just wasn’t impressed and thought sticking with my AW 7 would be plenty and then picking up a garmin would be best case scenario. In the end I keep coming back to I’m not an ultra runner and am more HIIT workout oriented and i really only want the garmin for the flashlight when I go hunting or camping haha
@@braddavister137 the ultra is my first apple watch. Honestly, if I had to charge it every day, I would not be using it. That's why I have not used an AW before even though I have been using iPhone since the original OG iPhone
ultra can do much more than just being a smartwatch. the best one being a time where you can stay away from your phone
garmin is a smartwatch, aw is a wristphone
Will take Garmin 10x over for battery life alone
make garmin pay on hot button
❤❤❤❤
Don’t forget with the Apple Watch you can do a lot by just asking Siri to do it. Especially for music and podcasts. Also for messaging, calling.
But who does that especially in public! I found when I had my Apple watch I never used half the smart functions. I just need simple notifications that my Garmin can give me.
Anytime Garmin is best over apple watch .......!!!
People are too hard on themselves with brands! Never mind "not being good enough for a Garmin"., I'd totally wear a Garmin 900 series for one simple reason -- XC ski dynamics. I'm really not a good XC skier but hey, somebody's got to measure power and VO2 for skiers, which isn't easy because it's got to recognize different styles of skiing (skate v classic mainly, so a big premium on a good accelerometer and algorithms). Of course I have other hangups, how the watch looks (I've had a Vivoactive 3 for some time but it's been a journey to convince myself a bigger watch would look OK on my wrist) and how nicely it plays with my iPhone. I'm hoping for a good XC ski app to drop for Apple because it sure looks to me like the Ultra (and probably the Series 7/8 too) has the hardware that the Garmin 9xx watches have to support proper skiing measurement.
Thank you for convincing my family and I to not buy the Apple Watch Ultra. We were leaning towards Garmin to begin with and you just reinforced that decision.
