The BEST and WORST Smartwatches of 2023! - Annual Awards!

Awesome video Dave! 🔥

Ha! Love the trophy/crown award. I'm happy to see Suunto get some recognition. They've done well and compete with the best of them, but I feel that Suunto also looks much cleaner/sleeker than some of the other watches (* cough * Garmin) without compromising durability. All this said, I just bought the Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar for Christmas and I'm super excited!

I love Garmin, have a Fenix 6s. I wish Garmin would marry the Phone capabilities with the Fenix and Forerunner. I love the look of the stainless bezel on my Fenix 6 and the running functionality of the forerunner 265 and the convenience of the phone capabilities on the Venu. Come on Garmin!! Great video!

Great video man! I just switched from a COROS Pace 2 to an Epix Pro Sapphire and am so happy with the change. It’s an incredible watch and that display is beautiful.

Glad to see Suunto back in the game!

Fun video. I agree with your conclusions. Glad to see Suunto on the list! Thanks for producing this. Happy holidays.

I’ve gone from Apple Watch Ultra to instinct 2x . Loved the battery, sports / health metrics for garmin . Decided to sell the ultra and just grabbed a Fenix 7 pro . Pretty pumped to put it through its paces . Awesome review ! Loving the videos !

Thanks for this great overview. I would choose the Suunto Race if the heart rate sensor provided better results, but no one has yet been able to confirm that the latest firmware update could reliably improve measurement accuracy. Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅🏻

Legendary video Dave 😅. Not just informativ, but fun!

Original - you made some good points - Happy Holidays to you and your family, Dave!

Great video! Best wishes for 2024 🎉🎉

Great video, in my opinion the best release of this year was the Suunto Race, it has a nice valance in price, features and looking. thanks Dave.

Hi Dave, great video as always 🙂The most exciting release for me this year were the Forerunners 965/265. I ended up with buying 265. It's amazingly lightweight and the display is just great. I was previously using the Fenix line and oddly enough what I am missing from the Fenixes is a tiny difference in how the timer works 😃On the Forerunners it only shows you that the timer is done, while on the Epixes it shows the number of minutes or hours. As I often use multiple timers, this is so much more convenient. And also I quite like the flashlight on the Fenixes and Epixes. So I am a bit torn apart. I may decide to buy Epix next year. The amoled display is something I really like.

Thanks for the great video

I bought Garmin 7 Pro (47mm, Sapphire Solar) two weeks ago. It has been an amazing experience so far. This is my first Garmin and already it is my fav accessory.

Always been a huge Suunto fan! Really happy with the progress they’re starting to make to get back in the game. Great video thank you!

Great vid, Dave. I’ve been testing out an Epix gen 2 Pro for the past month, really enjoying it so far. It’s probably staying with me and not being sold. My Apple Watch Ultra has been sitting in my drawer (mostly) since I got the Epix. I still hate bringing the phone with me on runs so I’ve become a dual-watch runner. One for music and text, one for fitness metrics. I swore I’d never be “that guy” but I’ve given in. Until Apple gets fitness training metrics like Garmin, I guess I’ll have to settle for switching between the two.

Thanks so much for this review!! My cousin is wanting to start a running program and was so overwhelmed with decisions. I’ve been running over 18 years but like her get overwhelmed with all the choices. I have the Coros Apex which I love & never regretted but wasn’t sure if that was best fit for her. I sent her your video after recommending the Apex Pace 3 due to your recommendations. Have a great holiday season & keep your videos and podcasts coming 👌

great energy!!!!😀

Still rocking with the garmin fenix 6 pro solar since launch for hikes,fishing,kayking and i still love it
