Apple Watch alternatives

Refurb Apple Watch series 3 on EBay for $200.

I personally think the stainless steel version of the Apple Watch is a huge upgrade.

Fenix 5 looks pretty good

If you have an iPhone, you won't get a better user experience than with your apple watch. Get an older model or refurb. Look on LetGo or facebook marketplace for someone selling theirs.

Garmin Fenix is a great watch. But as others have said you’ll get a better experience with an iPhone having an Apple Watch. Is what it is. I’m lost without mine at work. It’s the only way I keep up with all the meetings I have daily.

The stainless isn’t noticeably heavy. But it’s $749. Does have sapphire glass though, which I wish they’d just put on all the watches. My Luminox has a sapphire crystal and I’ve put that thing through hell. Was my everyday wear for 4+ years working construction and it got dirty at times. Very dirty. Case is worn in places, but there isn’t a scratch on the crystal. I’d be willing to upgrade from the series 3 to that, but just seems like a lot of money to me.

Amazon had brand new (non refurb) series 3 apple watches for $200 earlier this week. Looks like they went back up in price a bit but could go down again at some point

My wife jumped on that when she bought one for our daughter. When it arrived, my wife tried it on and played around with it. Ended up ordering herself one too. Both at good deals. Theirs are the 38 mm series 3. I was looking for the 42 mm version and found a deal on a Nike series one. Place up in New York called B&H photo. It was under $280. Had to pay tax but no shipping. I wish I had bought one earlier.
