Has a smartwatch other than the Apple Watch ever done well?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (24 children)

Garmin does pretty well. Although you could argue they're more fitness and sports oriented, they do have "normal" smartwatches too like the Venu and Lily series, and also hybrid watches like the Vivomove. All Garmins have excellent battery life and there have been very few complaints about them. If anything, the most common complaint is that they've got too many watches to choose from, which can be confusing for someone new to the Garmin lineup.

Garmin also has titanium watches with sapphire glass on their high end. I'm ridiculously clumsy with watches, so I got one thinking I'd stand a chance of not breaking it. Now the new problem is, the watch is way harder than anything else I accidentally smack it into, and can break stuff around it instead.

I need that sapphire stuff for my watches to survive my work environment.
