It seems like it has some great features. I think I saw the battery life is quite good which would be nice. I know next to nothing about smartwatches so I’m just trying to figure out what would work for me. I’m pretty sure I will end up getting something used, I just haven’t decided on what. Apps are an pretty important factor for me.

If you are an apple user, then the Apple watch is clear choice. As an Android user, Huawei could be a decent option but not in the United States. The Google watch is still first generation and might be ok for early adopters but I'm weary of it, and that's coming from a long time google phone user since the first one. I'm hoping they release more generations of it with improvements.

I have an iPhone. Apple Watch probably makes more sense for me, I think I'll try to get an old used one and see how I like it. I could see Garmin being really good for a lot of people though.
