A while ago I disabled wanted to disable all notifications on my Apple Watch, after 10 years of using one I was wondering how life is like when you don't automatically turn your head to your watch when there's a taptic feedback.

Turns out: It's actually great! Being to lazy to actually tune every single notification I disabled taptic feedback completely, turns out the biggest drawback was that I didn't notice when my timers fired anymore.

One thing that bothered me since day one was the Apple Watche's battery life, it's been definitely gotten better from the Series 0 to my Ultra, but still charging it every second day at least is quite a usability bummer for me.

I then opted for a Garmin Fenix to try and see if it serves my purpose and makes me happier and I must say it's a pretty good match. Things I definitely like more:

1. The Display (MIP) 😍

2. Disableable touchscreen -> So good, especially with Kids

3. 30 days of Battery life + Solar Recharge

4. Proper flashlight LED

5. Doesn't randomly lock itself and is unusable when there's a slight gap between hand and watch, especially in workouts that a huge plus
