I took the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Garmin Instinct 3 snowboarding, and there was one clear winner. Despite the Apple Watch Ultra 3's impressive build and features, it fell short in tracking my entire snowboarding session. The Garmin Instinct 3, on the other hand, recorded my entire day of riding, providing accurate post-workout metrics. The Instinct 3's battery performed better in the cold, lasting over 2.5 hours with minimal usage. I prefer the Instinct 3 for snowboarding due to its longer-lasting battery, greater variety of post-workout metrics, and a design that's less prone to accidental button-pressing. What's your favorite smartwatch for tracking ski and snowboard adventures? Let's discuss in the comments!
