I am currently using a Samsung gear S3 frontier for my runs. First off the things I like are that it has Spotify integration so I can have all my music with me on my runs. Also the watch has its own sim so I can leave my phone behind and make and receive calls in case of an emergency.
Now the bad.... I use S-Health as my activity tracker and my runs upload to Strava and the GPS is incredibly inaccurate. There is a huge mileage discrepancy between the two activy apps. For example today s-health tracked my mileage at over 4 miles while Strava had it at 3.5. it's frustrating and I'd like some options on a watch that has functions comparable that is more accurate. Thanks!

I'm much happier with the FitBit app over S-Health and I love my FitBit Charge 2. I went with the Charge 2 just to see how I was gonna like FitBit. I'm eventually going to move to the FitBit Ionic Adidas watch.



I think it's on sale for father's day at $40 off on the FitBit site. That's still nearly $300 though.

Apple Watch with cellular has grown on me. Heart monitor is very accurate and distance is not too different than my garmin. New update in September will be adding cadence which is the only thing it currently lacks. Wouldnt buy it for just running but if you are an apple guy its worth the money.

Vivoactive 3 Music just came out and I've been contemplating picking it up to use as a running watch. You don't get the LTE but it will be better on tracking and give you more insight into your runs.

I have an Apple Watch Series 2 and the more I research a replacement, the more I realize you either choose a great activity tracker with smart watch features or a great smartwatch that tracks activity.

I've decided to wait and see how the software update works on my Apple Watch before making a purchase.
