I stopped wearing my Apple Watch a few months ago. It's been a fun and exciting change. But as time goes on, I'm starting to regret it.
This past March, I did something I never imagined I would do: I stopped wearing my Apple Watch. After owning and wearing Apple Watches since 2017, I decided I was ready for a change. I strapped a Garmin smartwatch on my wrist, put my Apple Watch aside, and dived into the deep end of a non-Apple Watch world.
My Garmin smartwatch delivers notifications very quickly. Less than a second after a notification pops up on my iPhone, my Garmin delivers it right away. The problem, though, is that there’s very little I can actually do with those notifications. I can easily see a new email or Microsoft Teams message, but aside from dismissing those notifications, I have no control over them.
Siri on the Apple Watch is still quite limited with more complicated commands, but it excels at simple things. “Send a message to Zack that says see you in a bit.” “What’s the weather going to be like tomorrow?” “Turn on the living room lights.” These aren’t difficult tasks, and I could reach for my smartphone to do the same things.
Previous Next 1 of 3 None of these problems exist on the Apple Watch. As much as I wish Apple would let third-party developers create their own watch faces, the selection we have today is pretty damn great. There’s no shortage of great Apple Watch faces to choose from — ranging from classic analog ones, excellent digital options, and watch faces that are way too charming and cute than they have a right to be .
On my Garmin watch? Well … not so much. It is possible to control media playback from my phone, but the process is quite cumbersome. Instead of having controls automatically appear on my watch the second I start watching or listening to something, I have to press and hold the Down button on the watch and then press the Start/Stop button to pause or resume. That part’s fine, but it’s the rest of the experience that falters.
