Can you please review the Huawei Watch GT 5 series. It is giving mr close to a week of battery life! Huawei doesnt mention about the base of the Harmony os and chip its running on, if possible can check it?
I have the Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Pixel Watch 3 (45m). They are both really great, but I find that I prefer the Galaxy Watch Ultra for its more rugged design and build quality. The Pixel Watch 3 is super comfortable to wear, but it feels fragile, especially in the gym. I also prefer some of the features of Samsung Health, like being able to easily string together workouts, as well as create entire workout programs (Pixel Watch only lets you do this for running workouts). Overall though, its just nice to have multiple great options on Android nowadays.
Few things which most reviewers miss is the below 1) Pixel watch cannot be repaired, so after warranty ends if something happens to the watch, it will become a paper weight 2) DND Sync does not work with Non Pixel and Non Samsung Devices (Pixel watch needs pixel phone and Samsung watch needs samsung phone)
You're right about that! I'm learning that the hard way. I have a Samsung watch with a pixel phone and it drove me crazy one day while I was working in the hospital and I'm trying to silence the alarm by pushing the button and it was not responding cuz it needed me to interact by touching the face to silence or snooze the alarm. But My hands were dirty and I couldn't touch the watch! It drove me crazy. The alarm would not stop beeping!
Samsungs watchfaces are very disappointing so lackluster & basic compared to the Pixels. First thing i do with my samsung watch is spend hours looking for a good watchface on the play store.
I have both watches, the larger size at home. I only use the Pixel watch 3 45mm version with my Pixel 9 Pro. Not a fan of Fitbit premium. It's too overpriced for me. I use workouts from other Apps. Like Peloton( I use the guide), Mossa On Demand, Fiit or Fiton. I love the design of the Pixel Watch a little bit more. I also prefer the Pixel Watch bracelets. Better design, more comfortable for me. Both watches are great. Thanks for a nice video ❤. Greetings from Germany 😊😊.
I prefer and own the Galaxy watch partly because it is more robust, and having scratches on a watch screen is very annoying. That alone puts me off the Pixel watch.
Sapphire = No need of a screen protector. Glass, no matter what will get scratched up. That Pixel watch's curved display means that the screen protector will come off easily.
For the amount of money these things cost, it's frustrating for them not to go with sapphire. Ag this point I won't even buy a analog watch that doesn't have sapphire
Thing I most like about Galaxy Watch is ability to play songs through Spotify on watch speakers you can't do that on UA-cam Music even after having premium subscription
Just upgraded from my Galaxy Watch 4 to the 7 (Wifi/BT, 44mm) with trade-in and literally only paid $50 shipped through Samsung online. Watch is great so far, definitely the best choice.
I have a Fitbit Charge 4, which has been problematic to say the least and Fitbit support is a joke, but that could all be different with the Pixel Watch. What is the same, though, is keeping important data about YOUR health behind a paywall, and a steep one at that, which I find ludicrous. That's why I will never get a Fitbit/Pixel watch; literally every other competitor gives you full access to your health data subscription-free.
I have a pixel 9 and s24 had the gw7 before but only used it for a day then sent it back never really gave it a chance now just ordered the 9 lol but now having second thoughts mainly cause of durability but like the heart rate accuracy on the 9 very accurate for sleep tracking don’t think I’ll wear either for running as I have a garmin for that just can’t seem to make up my mind or am I just wasting money bloody tech does my head in 😂
I don't know if anybody mentioned this, but the Pixel Watch 3 and the Pixel Watch 2 (original size) have identically the same specs, so if you want to save money, get the Pixel Watch 2.
For me it's the galaxy watch i ordered the wife a watch 7 44mm with a old fitbit versa 2 trade in and Samsung gave me 100 bucks for the trade in the watch total was 240 for the lte the pixel was over 400 bucks and the trade in for the fitbit was only 30 bucks wtf.. That's with Google owning fitbit
My pixel watch 2 has a nasty scratch on it. Ironically it happened 2 days after my last screen protector fell off. I can't say I am shocked the 3 has the same problem.
Coming from Apple, I am not as happy with the Pixel Watch as I was with the Apple Watch Ultra. That is mostly due to the sapphire crystal display. I really don't want to do without the crown which I've grown accustomed to after years of Apple Watch. But the screen on the Pixel watch already has a few micro scratches. I would switch to Samsung, having an S24 Ultra by now. But I really don't like the bezel being part of UI.
That's the only thing that makes difficult for me to change for the Pixel from the Iphone. The moment that Google makes a more durable watch, I will not think twice. But for now, in my opinion, the Apple Watch Ultra is still king.
They come in handy if you want to check on notifications from your phone instead of getting your phone out if you are in a place, Where you wouldn't need to get your phone out.
@raxiltude It still seems kind of pointless to have two devices that do the same exact thing. The smart watch doesn't really solve a problem if you have your phone with you anyway.
I saw a video by Peter Diamandis, a Futurist/Author who also talks about health not just tech/science that if you want to take care of yourself, you have to literally know yourself and that takes wearables like Smart watches. They're handy for other things but health is a big big reason.

@@JamarD421 Yeah. I think there will come a time when we have thin watches with long battery life but right now there's the trade-off. You can definitely play music and podcasts on WearOS watches. Not sure about video but that would chew through battery life really fast.

Always the same theme for Samsung, it’s pretty and looks really good but useless as a data center because it’s not reliable … or not enough … since the beginning of all time …… And since the beginning, just like apple .. their OS doesn’t change at all .. whereas on pixel watch they can do what ever changes they want
Why don't these flagship watches care about battery life? I'd love to get a pixel watch, but I almost refuse to get a smart watch unless it lasts about a week like the CMF Watch Pro 2.
Because the CMF Watch Isn’t a smart watch, it’s hybrid that doesn’t have a strong processor to use third party apps. I think people need to know what smartwatches actually do
@superiortoall22 what can smart watches do that "hybrid" smart watches can't? Edit: like what's the point of third party apps or stronger processors when we have phones?
@@jjbonta2 point of a smartwatch is to be an assistant to your phone. With third party apps I can do things without either taking my phone in my pocket or just simply leaving it at home. If you’re a busy person or a runner like me, having less things to juggle is nice. If you’re just using your watch for notifications and health metrics then yeah hybrid or fitness tracker is right for you. For running, I can leave my keys in my Jeep, because I can unlock/start/lock my vehicle from my watch, I can unlock my home and disarm it from my watch. For streaming I can use nearly every streaming service not just some generic media player so you get playlists made for you and that’s without needing your phone. For running, I have the Nike run app to guide my runs with voice overs from coaches, but the watch is smart enough to lower the music volume then increase it once the voice guidance is over. I’m an aviator so when I fly, using the ForeFlight app gives me weather and airport information, plus everything that I need to communicate back home without going into the luggage compartment to dig out my phone. I can go on forever, it’s just what you limit yourself to.
@superiortoall22 fair enough. Some of those things could make my life a little easier, but you sound like you've got more and better use cases for me, at least where I am in life currently. I'm hoping for the next evolution of technology to soon allow me to replace all my physical screens with virtual screens through augmented glasses and maybe the watch would be somewhat of a processor for the glasses and an input detector (ideally with all the smart watch capabilities too). I'm hoping for this in less than 5 years, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it takes 10 or more.
The flagship for Samsung is the Ultra. Reviews have shown 3-3.5 days average on battery life with everything turned out. That's not bad. As for the Pixel, the battery life of 2-2.5 days is pretty impressive for the features and size that it is. But their biggest issue is that they have such a high price for the drawbacks (display glass, charging mechanism, lack of sophisticated gestures, etc.) that they have. With that all being said, I agree with you that we need better battery lives for our smartwatches. My previous Galaxy Watch4 44mm non-LTE barely got me 1 day in normal mode and 1.5 days with power saving mode. My current Galaxy Watch7 44mm non-LTE gets me about 1.5-2 days in normal mode (everthing on except AGEs index) and 2.5-3 days without power saving mode. I am also waiting for the day when 1 week battery life with everything on to be a reality but I imagine we need another 3-4 years for that.
Nice comparison. I don't understand why Samsung watches move backwards in some aspects (no rotating bezel, no reverse wireless charging, worse battery life compared to Tizen).. Btw never heard about AGEs in my life but simply going by the colors low seems to bee good (green) and high should be bad (red) 🤷♂ The last sentence of the explainer also reads "AGEs accumulate as you get older" meaning they increase with age so the lower it is the "younger"/"fitter" you are.
Rotating Bezel is for "Watch Classic" Line-up No reversed wireless charging because of the new Sensor Layout. But I think future samsung smartwatches will support it again You're right about battery life
@aldwin360 yes these are just the marketing excuses but for me it's hard to believe any of this. For example it has been shown that the new watches briefly charge on phones but the standard bands push the watch up and disconnect it so with a bit more engineering it could have been possible they were just too lazy to put in the work and decided to scrap the feature instead.
@@BruceLeeRoy26 True, I want one that may never be made. A blood sugar monitor on the wrist. Nice if it charted other things like heart rate etc, but first and foremost, as a diabetes tool. If accurate, I would then buy one, but this may never happen.
Being a watch is really just the cherry on top most people want one for the workout tracking or basic features on your wrist gps, notifications etc without having to bring your phone

9 odd years is long time
@@Puppyjans compared to Samsung and apple who have been in the business for ages
Google bought Fitbit for it's leap into the game.
If only their phones is attractive, it will be selling better, Pixel Watch is gorgeous though.
Few things which most reviewers miss is the below
1) Pixel watch cannot be repaired, so after warranty ends if something happens to the watch, it will become a paper weight
2) DND Sync does not work with Non Pixel and Non Samsung Devices (Pixel watch needs pixel phone and Samsung watch needs samsung phone)
You're right about that! I'm learning that the hard way. I have a Samsung watch with a pixel phone and it drove me crazy one day while I was working in the hospital and I'm trying to silence the alarm by pushing the button and it was not responding cuz it needed me to interact by touching the face to silence or snooze the alarm. But My hands were dirty and I couldn't touch the watch! It drove me crazy. The alarm would not stop beeping!
I think the main issue of the galaxy watch is that the heart sensor is not so accurate... I end-up buying a Pixel because of this.
Samsungs watchfaces are very disappointing so lackluster & basic compared to the Pixels. First thing i do with my samsung watch is spend hours looking for a good watchface on the play store.
ikr. They need to work more on the black background designs like the pixels.
You can use galaxy 7 as a remote camera too if you use one of their S series phone
Or wave at your phone instead.
