Smartwatches

Hey there, After trying out a few options, I’m back on the hunt for THE perfect smartwatch. I’d like something simple but comprehensive – for example, I find Garmin very, very comprehensive in its analytics – basically something that does the job without any frills As for my sports, I do paragliding (I just want to record my route), cycling, hiking, bouldering… I’d like to wear this watch both on a daily basis and for my sporting activities. As for colour, I’m also quite interested in something white, beige or, if really, black I’d already been thinking about the Suunto Race as a possibility. My budget is around 400 CHF. If you could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it :) Looking forward to hearing from you,

In terms of design, I think they are the most beautiful sports watches that you can also wear in everyday life. I also like the concentration of functions on sports and outdoor activities without the superfluous bells and whistles (as with Garmin, for example). I have a Suunto 9 Peak Pro, which is very beautiful and has a high-quality finish. What about yours?

One question: when will the Huawei Fit 5 Pro be available?

Is there a smartwatch that can only be operated by swiping (up/down/left/right) and the physical buttons on the side? Unfortunately, a watch where you can only select the apps with your finger on the display is of no use to me (well, if you only have a stump instead of a finger... ) Somehow the topic of smartwatches appeals to me, but if I can't operate it, I'll stick with analogue... :-(

Does anyone know when this will be available at Digitec? Thank you.

Dear Digitec team, I am looking for an inexpensive smartwatch for my two daughters. I have looked at the list of watches by price - ascending. There's quite a lot of rubbish in there: Baby rompers, baby hats, sex toys.... Please tidy up.

I want to buy another smartwatch after the Apple Watch and have shortlisted the Huawei Watch GT 6 Pro. The Apple Watch is often used to show customer cards (Cumulus, Supercard, etc.), and I would like to retain this function. Does anyone have experience of whether this is also possible with the Huawei Watch in combination with the iPhone?

As described, I don't want to have my mobile with me when I go to the gym. That's why it should have an internal memory and of course Zugeiff on youtube. Who has a tip for me? Thank you.

I'm completely new to the world of smartwatches and am considering to get one. What has mostly kept me off was that I did not want to be connected to bluetooth all the time, yet I still want access to sports functions like cycling etc. Can I get any sportswatch or are there some where you havr to sync bluetooth all the time? If so I'd love some budget friendly options for under 250.–

Good morning, I need a smartwatch that is shock-resistant and that I don't have to charge every day. If it was also suitable for swimming, that would be great. Thanks

Where can I buy a charging base for my Oneplus 3 watch, I lost mine https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/oneplus-watch-3-4660-mm-smartwatches-54851602

Does anyone happen to know when the new Fitbit Charge 7 is coming out?

I'm looking for a connected watch for city cycling, weight training, a bit of swimming (lake/sea), paddle, and walking. My job is stressful, so I'd also like a good tracker for stress, sleep, fatigue and recovery. Any recommendations? I've ruled out Apple and Samsung because the battery life is less than 48 hours. And I'd like it to have a diameter of at least 41mm and no more than 45mm so that it's easy to read and the battery is big enough. I've already targeted the Polar Vantage M3 or the Garmin Venu 3, for example...

Onboard GPS mapping: the Race S offers real navigation tracking with integrated maps - something that neither the Venu 3 nor the Forerunner 265 offer at this price. Premium, elegant design: Compact case, titanium or steel bezel, bright AMOLED display - a more lifestyle look than the typically sporty Forerunner. Remarkable battery life: up to 12 days in watch mode, and 30 hours in dual-frequency GPS mode. Price lower by 50 to 100 euros, sometimes more, depending on the retailer. Achilles heel: the optical heart rate sensor. The accuracy of the heart rate sensor is still below Garmin or Polar standards, despite several software updates.

When will the new Suunto Run be available on sale?

Now that Garmin and Polar have introduced subscription models that simply make me decide not to consider these brands on principle, I am interested to know what recommendations the Community here has for possible alternatives (excluding Apple or Samsung Watch)?

I have a Fitbit wristband that has an integrated sleep phase alarm (wakes you up within a period of time when you are in a light sleep phase). Now I would like to switch to a smartwatch. However, I cannot recognise such a function in any smartwatch, except possibly via an app on the Apple Watch (but this is out of the question as there are no other Apple devices). Can anyone tell me about a smartwatch that has a proper sleep phase alarm clock? According to my research, it only ever seems to be about sleep tracking... Thanks in advance for any constructive articles.

I don't want a round display on a smartwatch - I don't have a round display on my iPhone or computer either. Apparently only Apple does it that way. But the Apple Watch is actually too expensive for me and I don't need most of the features and only the Ultra has several days of battery life - and that's definitely too expensive for the fact that I use even fewer features than the other Apple Watches... Preferably none from China either...

Hello together I would like to buy a smartwatch. Now a very exciting topic. Apple or Garmin smartwatch. A hotly disputed topic, as I found out on the Internet. Which is the better smartwatch? Garmin or Apple? I would like to compare the latest model from Apple, the Series 10, with the Garmin models. With the choice of Garmin, it's not that easy. What is your experience? Is Garmin the better smartwatch or Apple? According to previous reports, Garmin has an advantage in terms of battery life and activity tracking (more analyses, more accurate tracking and better connection to external devices) and more built-in sensors. Apple, however, has a more modern design and a better operating system with more customisation options, as well as a direct connection to the iPhone and the Health app. In the reports I read, the Apple Series 9 and 10 were compared with the Garmin Venu 3/3S and the Epix Gen 2. Also open for discussion for other brands/models from Garmin or Apple (e.g. Watch SE) But what is your experience? Has anyone tested both of these brands? Which brand and model can you recommend? The application would mainly be for everyday use, viewing incoming messages/phones and tracking sports sessions. Let's start the discussion ;-)

Which fitness watch without nickel can you recommend? (without Apple).

My Sigma warns me during training with two different beeps when my heart rate is too low or too high. Are there any other sports watches that can do this? Thanks for your tips.

Is it possible to filter the smartwatches according to whether they have an integrated barometer? I can't find a selectable field for this.

I'm looking for a smartwatch that primarily displays the values from my blood glucose sensor. At the moment it's Libre 3, but I can also imagine switching to Dexcom. Is there a watch that can communicate directly via BLE or via its own app without always having to have my mobile in my pocket? Does anyone have any experience?

Hello Galaxus, The "main functions" filter on smartwatches operates an OR function, which makes it somehow useless. I am trying to find a model that combines several features, the OR filter only keeps adding new watches to the list whenever I select a new function. Would it be possible to switch it into an AND filter? kind regards,

Dear digitec team, I had hoped that the Garmin Fenix 8 watch would be available from you immediately after its release. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case, or I could not find it on your website. I would like to order the watch today. If this is not possible, could you please give me an approximate date when it will be available? Other suppliers, such as OchsnerSport, already have it in their range (see link: OchsnerSport Fenix 8), but I would buy it explicitly from digitec. Thank you very much for your feedback. Yours sincerely, Jevgenijs F.

I bought the digitec connected watch But I can't set the sleep mode

Hi, I bought the watch approx. 2 months ago, and everything was working properly! Since. ca. 3 weeks I don't receive any message notifications from the watch on the iphone, I always have to close the app to see if the child has sent any messages, instead on android everything works correctly. I contacted TCL directly, unfriendly staff and they replied that it will take some time to solve the problem as they have to check the incompatibility of the divice with the app. TCL connect (although initially everything worked) ANYONE ELSE HAS PROBLEMS WITH IPHONE?????

Is it known if and when Digitec will be adding the new Garmin Descent Mk3 to their range? At the moment I can only find it available at garmin.com.

Hello Digitec/Galaxus Can you create a filter for the display type? For me and probably many others this is one of the most important criteria Thanks :)
