I always wonder what my neighbors must think about these walking challenges, as I head out the door wearing multiple devices on my wrist, clicking every time I take a step. Last week, I put the Garmin Forerunner 570 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 to the test, but with the Apple Watch 11 arriving on my doorstep, this week I set out to repeat the test, comparing Apple’s newest smartwatch with Garmin’s mid-tier Forerunner.
It goes without saying that both watches are designed to do a lot more than just count your steps. The Apple Watch 11 is the best smartwatch on the market and is an extension of your iPhone on your wrist. The newest watch runs on watchOS 26, which includes Apple’s latest hypertension alerts and sleep score. It looks identical to its predecessor, the Apple Watch 10, but has a tougher screen and longer battery life.
