This is Ahmed Dunn of Ahmed Dunn.com I've been using Garmin Vivoactive HR and Fitbit Alta HR for a while and today I'll talk about three things you love and three things you hate about Garmin Vivoactive HR and Fitbit Alta HR smartwatches. I'll talk about three things you love and hate about Fitbit Alta HR and Garmin Vivoactive HR Or you can say three differences and similarities between these two smartwatches So the first thing you love about Garmin is that its battery life. It has a longer battery life In general I would only need to charge my Garmin about once a month or sometimes after three weeks but never before three weeks so it has much longer battery life. On the other hand Fitbit requires charge every week or sometimes it can go as long as 10 days but never actually a month like Garmin So Fitbit has disadvantage on this point. The second thing you love about Garmin is that this is 100% waterproof and you can keep this in shower you can wear this swimming so you can basically do anything you want with this This is 100% waterproof so it's a big advantage for Garmin So I'll just put my Garmin in the water Okay so still you can see the reading Yes and you can keep it you know day after day week after week and still it's gonna be okay because I wore this many times for shower swimming everything and no problem On the other hand Fitbit is not waterproof 100% waterproof it's just in a splash proof for example if you have just like slight little bit of water like this or if you just you know wearing in rain for a few seconds it's okay but you cannot put it in water or you cannot take this to shower or swimming so this is not 100% waterproof so that's a disadvantage for Fitbit The third thing you like about Garmin is that you can turn off the Bluetooth which is a very plus point for me because I don't like to keep my Bluetooth on while I'm wearing something so it has the option or feature where you can turn off the Bluetooth and you can just turn it on whenever you want it but for Fitbit it doesn't have that option so the Bluetooth is always on and whenever you're wearing it or just leaving it somewhere still it will be on it doesn't come with that option to you know turn on or off Bluetooth so in that way this one has disadvantage Now the third thing you will love about Fitbit is that in terms of app Fitbit has actually a better app and it just more user friendly and it keeps all the information at a glance and for example I will just take you a sample here so it's very easy to use and even in terms of on the watch all the information is right there it's not you know complicated so Fitbit has disadvantage on this I'm sorry advantage on this because the app is very user friendly and it's very easy to use on the other hand Garmin app is not user friendly it doesn't give you user friendly interface or options so it's a bit complicated and I don't like using the app at all so for that reason whenever I need to look at my stats and everything I use the Fitbit so another thing you love about Fitbit is that interchangeable bands so you can just you know remove the Fitbit band and you can have different color or variation I have only one set which is black but if you want you can buy a blue, green, brown, red any color you want so that's a very you know plus point and for Garmin actually you don't have that option so you have to just you know stick to the band band it comes with let me just put it here ok so I'll just leave it here for now so for Garmin the band is fixed you cannot have interchangeable band like Fitbit so Garmin has disadvantage in that case the next thing you love about Fitbit is that Fitbit picks up activities automatically you don't have to input whenever you're running or swimming or walking manually so you just you know do whatever you want to do and then the watch does everything but whenever you're using Garmin you have to enter the activity manually and I don't like that section or I don't like that because you know I don't want to enter every time I'm doing something so Garmin has disadvantage that's all I can think of right now so both has some pluses and minuses based on which one you know is your preferences or what is what are most important features you're looking for you have to make your choice whether you want Fitbit or Garmin but these are disadvantages or disadvantages or pluses or minuses I can't come up with so I just wanted to let you know so you can make an informed decision so that's all for now if you like what you see please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing there will be more videos coming up and I'll see you shortly thank you
