The Great Smartwatch Showdown: A Tale of Two Fitness Trackers A recent comparison pitted the Apple Watch Series 12 against the Garmin Venu 4, two of the top smartwatches in the fitness tracking market.
Both devices were put through a rigorous test: a 50 minute walk around Seattle's hilly terrain. The results showed that both watches logged steps and distance with impressive accuracy.
However, a closer examination revealed each device's quirks and biases. The Apple Watch tends to overestimate climb data, adding an extra 30 40 feet to the actual distance.
