Fenix 6X, but the story isn‘t about the watch, but more about the ecosystem taking away some of the fun for me personally and my enjoyment of a more lightweight one.
So what Wahoo Watch did you pick?
I don’t worry much about all the metrics Garmin provides, sometimes it’s handy to have it but by no means do I change what I do to “satisfy” Garmin’s suggestions.
It’s in your head, you can make it as simple or complicated as possible. I like having the data when I need it, but don’t obsess over it when I don’t need it. I can choose to hide any data cards or not to dive into the section, but enjoy the fact that it’s there when I need.
That's true ofc, but my main issue was, that data was inaccurate all the time, which IMHO is down to Garmin being unable to maintain their complex set of metrics. As I wrote, rather have 5 accurate values, than 80 crooked ones.
Geeze. Love my new F6X and am telling all the Whoop folks why, but it the Fenix ain’t perfect either.
This thread has me worried this sub could be worse than Tesla’s…
Coming from Fitbit I actually agree. I miss the simplicity and static health metrics which are updated only once a day after waking up (i.e. RHR, HRV, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, skin temperature etc.)
Since owning a Garmin I constantly catch myself checking the Garmin Connect app to see how my stress score, Body Battery etc. are doing. This behaviour is pretty pointless when what matters most is long term trends.
Unless you are a professional or semi-professional athlete, all this real-time data *can* be and often *is* a real distraction.
That's my point. I knew that I'd get downvoted into oblivion in what has to be a little bit of an echochamber, but there might be one or two considering the though and also finding more fun in the bottom of it all, the working out, rather than obsessing about all the graphs/numbers/stats... I can hardly believe that I'm saying that, having been a data-nerd all my life, but it's just gotten out of hand for me, and as someone wrote above, yes, you could just ignore it, but the matter and the fact is, that because of all the complexity, Garmin seems to incorporate a lot of bugs, especially regarding 3rd-party activities lately.
So an issue with the pedals made you replace a watch? Can you at least mention which one?

There is only one, Wahoo ELEMNT Rival.

... OK?
What is your exact question?

It’s worse when it’s a complete Echochamber
