Is apple watch worth it for tracking running/activities? (alien.top)

I'd like a smart watch that tracks running, biking, and swimming distances and heart rate data. I'm already team iphone, so would apple watch be worth it for these purposes?

It’s a great tracker. I use it for walks and I have never had a watch with GPS that has been as consistently accurate as my AW. Before this, I had a Garmin Venu and while it definitely had more metrics, the GPS just wasn’t consistent. And before that I had a Fitbit that was absolute garbage.

My AW doesn’t have the crazy level of metrics that the Garmin has but it does have enough. I don’t need 25 different metrics, most of which I don’t understand, for my walks and hikes. YMMV if you are an elite athlete or a marathon runner or something like that. For distance and heart rate, it is a fantastic device.

One of the nice thing about the AW is the app store. If you are somebody who needs more metrics chances are somebody has made an app for it.
