Hi i am trying to change to healthier more organized lifestyle. I would like to get a smartwatch mainly for fitness purposes, and i do not know if apple watch is worth it for me. My budget allows me to only go for a used s5/s6. Or a brand new Amazfit model.

I do not recieve a lot of notifications, i am not in a call very often so making a phone call from the watch is negligible. Maybe the only useful feature i would regularly use is being able to pay with my watch.

Those who switched from to 3rd party to apple watches, was it worth it? In what way apple watch is more useful? What features does 3rd party miss?

If you live in th e Apple Ecosystem like with several devices (or at least an iPhone) then Apple Watch is the way to go. It can do so much more than the fitness part. Many useful apps also have a Watch version.

Apple Watch 6 is perfectly suited to both the fitness and all the many other things, an Apple Watch can do. - No need to go for newer models. You don't need more than Apple Watch 6. But, of course, it is always possible to "invent" extra needs. That is what Apple wants us to do all the time with all devices.
