10 Reasons Why Wear OS is BETTER Than Fitbit & Garmin (as an Android user)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- I really think Wear OS (especially when coupled with Ticwatch Pro 3) is making a triumphant comeback for many reasons. The native Google platform has many distinct advantages over Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung Galaxy Watch, OnePlus watch and other less known manufacturers. I dive into the reasons why...

This is a really inspiring video for me as a product designer. I was wondering if you know some company that is making apps for this ecosystem? I would love to work with these wearables technologies.
Good video. Well produced and informative. Mobvoi should pay you for this one because it makes me want to run out and get the watch. You hit on one very important issue with smartwatches that I am running into as I get older....reading the damn display. A refined smart assistant experience is a necessity.
Yes, I believe Google will be fixing it. I'm just shocked at how slow they are to addressing these issues. Apple's eating their lunch and Google didn't seem to care until recently.
Your video is awesome! Great quality. You have just earned a new subscriber here. I have bought the new Ticwatch E3 under a month ago and I'm very happy with it and have many pro features. I can see my sleep data straight on the watch
Thank you
Ordered a ticwatch pro 3 after watching your videos. Was going back and forth for days between that and the Vivoactive 4 and you sold me. Thanks!
Right on! You'll love it.
Great video, thanks for taking the time. What watchface did you have loaded on the Ticwatch when you filmed the vid?
I believe "blue notifiaction" comes default with ticwatch
Great video! Detailed info....keep up the great work!
Appreciate how you paid attention to ensure you don't accidently trigger other's Google assistants with the ok ( Google ) hotword
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I currently have the Samsung active 2 with my pixel 5, but I'm really looking forward to Samsung's android version to go with my phone.
I too have the TicWatch Pro 3 since its release in October 2020. Loving the watch, cannot recommend it enough. For me Wear OS + Bubble Clouds (!!!) makes an amazing wearable experience! Customization is off the chart, tweakers heaven :) Deeply integrated with Tasker, even surpasses Pebble awesomeness, I was missing so bad.
That is amazing! I need to watch a video on how you use Tasker!
@@JSyntax Here is one such video: ua-cam.com/video/dZGBgRrG688/v-deo.html
Excellent, the review i needed. Thanks!😄
Thanks for the detailed video! Would you still recommend the Ticwatch Pro 3 at this point of time? Especially with the new Galaxy Watch 4 out now. I'm thinking to get one now, but I'm not sure how obsolete the hardware of Ticwatch Pro 3 will be in the near future. Thanks!
Wait for the ultra!!
Got a question. I have the Ticwatch Pro 4G. It has the SD2100 and 1 GB of ram, so honestly no really that different in performance with the Ticwatch Pro 3. THe one feature that I really want is sleep tracking on essential mode, this will practically double the battery of my watch because I would activate essential mode before going to bed. According to Mobvoi the feature it's only available on the ticwatch pro 3 and the ticwatch pro s (Which has the same hardware specs of the ticwatch pro 4g), the version of ticsleep that has sleep tracking on essential mode is 2.0, all the other ticwatch pro variants have version 1.9. So, my question is, if I install via apk the version 2.0, my ticwatch pro 4g will gain sleep tracking on essential mode?. I'm kind of hopeful because according to Mobvoi sleep tracking is only available for Ticwatch Pro and Pro 3 variants, but if you go and install it on other ticwatch watches running wear os (Such as e2, c2 etc) it actually works.
Real review .. great job 👏 thank you ..
Best video on this watch by far you have a new subscriber well done
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you.
Excellent video, keep up the good work :-)
Thanks Malcolm!
Best wear os video yet. Thank you sir!
I agree the google OS is the the way to go. With Samsung going that direction, I'm looking forward to the their next watch entry and the Fossil Gen 6. Both are do out this summer and hopefully will exceed the capability of the Ticwatch.
Thanks for the review.
I have a vivoactive 4 and it's been serving me fine, and the one thing that I like about it is it's battery life. Wear OS might be superior in function, they really need to make the battery better
I have the TicWatch Pro 3 and it is an impressive watch. I agree with the video.
Thanks Eric! I'm so excited about the next iteration. The twp3 was a quantum leap for wear os!
Awesome video, purchased a Skagen Falster 3 this week. Really don't think wear OS deserves the hate it gets. I think if marketing was ramped up for these devices more people would use them and maybe Google would not neglect the OS as much as they have
I agree! It's all about marketing!
I agree....and think the reason Google has been shy about marketing is because the OK Google feature isn't working for most watches AND you can't use Assistant to send a text directly. Works on the phone, not on the watch. Fail. Two very easy yet very broken parts of WearOS.
@@glennbolton2742 agreed! They must be aware of it but don't know how to engineer a fix
Awesome, thanks for the good review. I've been looking at Garmin, but was unsure. But begging a big Google user and developer, you sold on the ticwatch&wearOS
Things are going to get better with the new aware OS that's coming out
Great video! You definitely are convincing me to use my watch more, especially that barcode app. I use UA-cam music, so far I can't play music from my watch with wear os. Do you think they'll be able to integrate soon?
Yes big news coming
Great review, thanks.
I am looking for a health/fitness/smart watch. Do you prefer this over the Vivoactive 4 and why? I have watched both of your videos and I can't tell which one you like better. I was considering the fenix 6 pro but really too $$ as I am not an athlete nor do I envision becoming one lol. I just want to get healthier.
hmm, im thinking vivoactive 4 will be the best if you care about fitness!
This company should pay u for this review. This was one of the best reviews. I am waiting for the galaxy watch 4 or Google watch but now I am thinking about just getting this this ticwatch pro 3. Do you know if it will be updated to the new tizen/wearOS when it comes out?
It'll be getting the new update!
Great video! Which update did you get? My OK Google function is still not working. I'm on the November Security patch update on my TWP3. Thanks!
Just the latest google app update on wear os!
Actually got a ticwatch pro 3 recently and it is my first smartwatch. I researched a bit on the different watches. Even tried out a few before hand. What won me on wear os was being able to truly reply on messages instead of quick or pre canned replies. I found samsung health's health stuff a lot better than ticwatch or Google fit, but I can't imagine being unable to reply back. (Samsung can reply but only for sms, and you can only dictate or draw letters.)
Congratulations on new watch!
Yess! This has been big for me too! I had the Fitbit inspire 2 for the longest time. I got frustrated seeing the messages and not being able to quick reply, or reply in general. So much happier with the Ticwatch Pro 3. Being able to reply from almost any app like Instagram or discord is great. 👌
damn this review was really good. being a first responder and outdoor enthusiast, its nice to see a watch that looks and feels as robust as a Garmin but offers wearOS.
Thank you!
You bring up some points that I didn't even think of. Especially the bus schedule thing. Yes, it's on my phone, but there are times I don't even bother checking, because I don't want to bother fumbling around with my phone, or my hands are just full. I really like the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS, but as a Galaxy S21 Ultra user, I'm sort of waiting to see what Samsung and it's new Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has on the table with Wear OS 3 after it's officially available. That being said, I did not care for the Galaxy Watch 3 AT ALL. I had one for about 3 months and sold it. I really like the new Garmin Venu 2 and the Fitbit Sense also, for their health analytics. Anyway, great video! I'm surprised that I haven't come across any other content until now and I'm always in the market for a new gadget that I can wear on my wrist and always looking for smartwatch reviews. On that note, I'm subscribed now. Hopefully you will show up in my search results more often now. It really says a lot for the Ticwatch, since you bought your own and have hands on experience with so many different watches.
I'm just so annoyed watch 4 doesn't have google asssisant! Still keeping my ticwatch pro 3 even tho galaxy watch 4 is nice.
For hard core sports enthusiasts doing endurance sports.. Its Garmin, Suunto, Polar or Coros.. Samsung or any other smart-first watches.
I've had a new ticwatch Pro 2020, it's very impressive too.
Ya it's still the longest watch I ever wore.
Can you add anything else to that secondary display? like heart rate and the current weather temperature?
No, it's fixed to save battery!
My dude, this is what I want in a smartwatch as a medical professional. With Wear OS 3 coming out, is this phone still the most budget friendly one to get? I would like grab my phone much less if possible. I have seen other videos where creators are saying to wait a few more months to see the newer models. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thank you.
prewiev notifications link?
I think im impressed by the 3 day battery. Last time I tried using a smart watch, I had one that was only 1 day battery, so I had to be very regimented in planning my charging if I wanted to wear it while sleeping.
That's great, thank you
Personal preferences obviously are important. I need a fitness focused watch with notifications support and so Garmin watches are my go to. Yep the sleep tracking on Garmin is not the greatest but that's not a focus for me. And I love seeing my detailed fitness data in the app and on my computer screen so again Garmin satisfies those needs in a big way. Excited though to see what the newly announced smart watch collab between Samsung and Google will look like and what the new Google focus on smartwatches will mean for Fitbit devices.
I agreed 100%
I just bought my ticwatch t
Yesterday can't wait to see it in person
Let me know your thoughts!
Very good video, thank you…I am waiting for galaxy watch 4
Me toot
Top content.
So, why do you say it's not that good at fitness tracking (compared to e.g. Garmin)?
I like how they look and am on Android, but fitness tracking is more important to me than notifications and co., however, I'm not sure what do they lack regarding to fitness tracking? Does Garmin have some more sensors that I missed?
Thank you
Yes Garmin is more involved when it comes to tracking and metrics. Overall the ui is better for displaying your health metrics.
20:54 Yes, amazingly in my country for wearables there's Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, and in addition there's Smartpen pay (not kidding), Keyholder Pay etc, but not Google Pay. Still it's advertised for the Wear OS watches, because it works in 11 countries, a whopping 5.6% of the world. I agree with the rest, good points!
You may have just convinced me! Was excited for the OnePlus flavour but after seeing reports and coming from an apple watch series 3 I can live without a voice assistant/notification functionality. To date the apple watch still doesn't have a native WhatsApp app which I find silly (there are workarounds but they were like £2 for a passthrough). I might just get something that looks nice and has some good functions without it slamming my wallet and wait for the god strap Fitbit,watchos with a parkour mode
I'm terrible disappointed with the reviews of the Oneplus watch! Why did they now build a good wearos watch? Are you iOS?
nice video congratulation :)
Thank you so much for your kind comment hope to see you again
I'm hoping Google samsung and fitbit together can finally make something good. And I agree with you I've always thought wearOS was the best smartwach software.... When it works and I've used both apple and Samsung watches. But the other two like I said work more consistently
it's confirmed! Tizen x Wear OS | Samsung x Google !
Hi! What are your thoughts on the new gboard app and Google's seemingly actually caring about wear os more these days?
the voice input is a tad slower but i like it because u actually confirm when ure done speaking into it, nice softwate upgrade
Any good weightlifting apps for wear OS? I want to leave Apple for s23 Ultra but the Apple Watch makes it hard. I use Hevy and it’s so nice on Apple Watch. I can set up several routines and sync it to Apple Watch. So when I start lifting, it will show my workout on my watch. After the lift, I can enter reps and weight right on Watch and it will have a timer. After timer is finished it automatically goes to the next lift.
Sounds like iOS has an amazing gym app. Wear os packs this
@@JSyntax what does wear os have that’s similar? Thanks for the reply!
Hi! I really can't find any info on how durable they are. Any sort of accidental screen hit experience?
Great review, btw
Very good durable body! And screen
@@JSyntax , thx
The battery life needs solving ASAP!
While I agree the battery life isn't as strong, you have to consider the feature set of a Wear OS watch, such as speaker, voice assistant, bright hi-res AMOLED display, a rich app ecosystem, etc. I don't mind charging every 3 days, it has gotten a lot better.
Have you even watched the video? 3 days of battery life on the TicWatch Pro 3. Many other Wear OS watches are garbage, but it's not the OS's fault. Unfortunately 90% of the known Wear OS watches are made by Fossil. They are garbage indeed. But Fossil is a fashion brand, what do you expect???
@@gerGoPrint3D very true. Fossil needs to up their game. Aren't they somewhat owned by Google.
@@gerGoPrint3D Yes I did but like you just said not all Wear OS watches are made by Ticwatch. I've got the Fossil Gen 5 (which has a bigger battery than the apple watch) yet it has half the life of the Apple Watch.
@@RajR96 Most Android phones have bigger batteries than iPhones. That doesn't mean anything. Android is so much more capable than iOS, that it needs more battery power. If iPhones were able to do the things Android phones can they would need bigger batteries too.
The same goes for Wear OS vs Watch OS. Wear OS is an infinitely more capable operating system than any other wearable system. Fossil just made a poor design decision and put half the size of the battery in the watch. The TicWatch Pro 3 is actually as thin, or even thinner than the Fossil Gen3 based watches, and they were able to accommodate an almost 600mAH battery, while Fossil only includes a 300 something battery.
Does the watch notify when not on the wrist?
I was very disappointed to notice that the Samsung watch 4 doesn't have the possibility to let the watch notify when not on the wrist, like Samsung watch 3 did.
In order to save battery I believe notifications are paused on the watch if it's not on your wrist. But I believe this is a good thing to say battery for the watch if you take it off for a while
I really like how in depth your reviews are and delivering them in a way that won't confuse future buyers. Also, an added bonus, the guy is pretty hot. Haha
Do you prefer the ticwatch pro 3 or the garmin vivoactive 4s for sleep tracking? I have sleep apnea and would like to buy one of these. Or would you wait for fitbit x Google's new watch?
That is a tough question. I could make a whole video about it. If spo2 is the most important, go for vs4 but in the end, I chose twp3 for the reasons listed in this video, at the expense of fine grain spo2 monitoring which was not always 100% accurate.
@@JSyntax How does the sleep tracking accuracy, spo2, heart rate and step count of the twp3 compare to say a fitbit, who in general have the best algorithms? A video comparing the sensors of the fitbit to a twp3 would be amazing. The Quantified Scientist made videos on the garmin watches (which don't have that great tracking) and extensive fitbit analysis, but no comparison to twp3.
@@nonsensei1 I'll give Fitbit the best rating. TWP3 has very good start/stop times, better than Garmin and more or less the same as Fitbit.
Start and stop sleep is my most important metric so I know the quantity of sleep i had.
Metrics like Heart Rate, Spo2 may favour Fitbit and Garmin.
Awesome! I got a versa 3 and a pulse oximeter and will cross reference the data to test it. The only dissappointing thing is that premium hides a lot of useful information...
@@nonsensei1 really excited to hear about your results
I'll buy Tic watch today. Thanks
how do you get the ok google to work ?
@JSyntax ?
so always wonderful beautiful video and watch friend
I don't know, I don't like how tizen on the active 2 doesn't have Google pay or the assistant. But at the same time I love Samsung health. I love the health app on the phone. The exercise data is reasonably accurate. I just need to be convinced of Google fit. Hopefully Google really up their game with it.
I have a ticwatch pro 3 but when i use assistant it doesnt talk back even though the setting is enabled. It also doesn't want to switch off my smart lights. Can anyone help me with this?
hmm, try settin your phone to USA English and let me know. I made a whole video about this problem.
Hello just a video Idea if you haven’t done so. You should make a video were you use wear os with smart plugs.
Please make a video About Wear OS on Galaxy Watch 4 Classic!!
It's in progress!
Took me a while to realize he was talking about "mobvoi" -the company- as opposed to giving praise to "My boy"
Lol
I looked through a bunch of comments but didn't see the name of your watchface. Is it from Facer? I also have the TWP3. Excellent informative video!
It's stock theme, the blue one!
We'll, I thought so, but how did you get the Notifications complication at 12 o'clock? Mine doesn't offer that as an option.
Trying to compare a garmin fenix with native maps, transflective screen that lasts days and days with a ticwatch, is comparing apples with trains
You keep saying TicWatch Pro3, but you show both the Pro 3 and E3. Do your comments in this video speak to both watches? I think the main diff is battery and 2nd display.
Referring to the pro version!
What's your choice of health tracking app? Tick health or Google fit?
Always google
@@JSyntax ok thanks. I find that the google and tichealth apps have different step count. Did you disable tichealth?
Are you considering developping an app for international users ? I think wear os needs more apps !
I also own the tic watch pro (since 1 week).
I want to build my own strength training app that will be much better than all the other apps there but it's very hard to use the acceleration data
3 questions please:
1- how is it in water? did you swim with it?
2- How is Google Maps on it? can I set the destination on the phone and the watch will track it - showing the maps and telling the turn to turn instruction)?
3- is it possible to answer calls from the watch and yet the sound will be directed to the headset which is connected to my phone? (so the phone is connected to both the watch and the headset, and I receive the notification on the watch, answer from the watch and hear/speak from the headset).
Thank you in advance
1. I dont usually swim with my watch, but im sure it's fine. I don't trust salt ocean water tho for any type of electronics due to corrosion
2. Google maps is decent, i use the turn by turn nav notification on th watch for hands free navigation
3. yes, of course! I have full on phone convos on the watch
@@JSyntax thanks for the reply.... I am about to buy it and just want to make sure it is suitable for me.
For the water: do you wash your hands/shower with it?
For maps: does it show the full map (so i can see the roads on the watch) or only directions as in galaxy watch 3?
Which is better; Garmin Vivoactive 4 or Garmin Instict Solar Tactical?? I don't know what to choose. I know everything about both, and for my daily routines and conditions maybe Instict Solar is slightly better, but I'm afraid that is a bit complicated for use. Please help, don't say me "it depends on you and your routines" I know that 😅😅
Hard to say because I don't have the Solar Tactical watch sorry but I've been hearing bad things about it in terms of its battery life and it's promising in terms of long-term battery
@@JSyntax it's the smallest problem, literally ... it's not hard for me to charge it and every night if I have to, while I'm sleeping I don't wear it .... but because of those buttons and the monochrome screen, how practical it is and whether it annoys the user after a while ??
If fitness is your priority, I would very easily take the Garmin Venu 2 over this (actually, I did.) Aside from the Garmin device itself (which is great) the metrics and richness of the Garmin ecosystem and website make it a no brainer. Consider this- Garmin sells some smartwatches that cost $1,500. You get access to the same website and app. They clearly made huge investments in this area- and it shows. It has exceeded my expectations. Also in a month, my Venu 2 has not had a single issue connecting. It's rock solid. It plays music too! It also comes with free access to 3 running coaches and programs!
I agree absolutely. Data is king on Garmin.
Hi, the new HUAWEI Band 6 have an All-day SpO2 Monitoring, it should be perfect cheap solution 60$ to monitor sleep apnea, could give it a try?
If only it could be delivered to Canadians!
hey where is your shirt from man nice one, let me know
Hm
Some very good points but I really need a fitness tracker first, smartwatch second. I've got a Goggle Pixel, a Chromebook, and a Windows desktop for all the apps I want, I need my watch to help keep me on track in terms of my health, and give me notifications, not much else. Both my Garmin and my Amazfit sync with Google Fit, which is all I really need.
id love to try a chromebook one day!
@@JSyntax Be careful saying that out loud! The anti-Google people have a bot that looks for anyone saying anything remotely positive about Chromebooks 😂😂😂 But seriously, I love my Chromebook. And, even though I don't get to use it as much as I did when I was taking college classes, especially due to working at home because of the pandemic, I still enjoy booting it up every so often when the need arises to get some things done. I got mine used off eBay so I didn't pay an arm and a leg the price of the newer high end models. Mine is definitely midrange with a touchscreen but because it was used off eBay, I paid less than US $200. In my opinion, it does everything Google or internet-centric well.
It looks a bit thick. How's the weight feel over the course of the day
I wear it 24/7, it's very comfortable
I guess fitness bands are better until a perfectly balanced wear OS watch arrives.
which fit band do you recommend?
A cell phone has screen lock & fingerprint security but this doesn't appear to have it. Being tied to my Google account I'm afraid of the watch being lost or stolen and someone now has access to my Google /account. By the time I can do anything about it the person can purchase things from the Google store or mess with my email access or who knows. I really like the watch just wondering about security...
The watch can be secured with passcode or pattern. Even if they have your watch, there's very little they can do to harm your account. You just log that watch. In any case, my watch is always on my wrist in public.
2FA protection on your major accounts?
As an ios user I'm struggling to decide between the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS and the Garmin Venu 2. I can live without being able to reply back to messages on my watch. I prefer the Ticwatch aesthetics but it seems unanimous that the Garmin is better for fitness tracking......but the Ticwatch would probably be good enough for what I need (sleep tracking and gym workouts 4-5 times a week and walking and getting a rough gauge of calories and steps)
Can someone give me some advice on which to go for? 😀🙈
i thnink both are good choices
I always wanted to own a Wear OS watch since I use Android phones but what's holding me back are the prices of the watches and the short battery life... Maybe I will buy them someday when the hardware and battery life get better at a cheaper price and Google makes more improvements for Wear OS. As for now, I own a cheap Chinese smartwatch and an Honor smartband, lol. I'm quite happy with the smartband since it has the same functionality as the Chinese smartwatch... I believe the only advantage to owning a smartwatch is to have one with a system like Wear OS or Apple Watch. How many notifications can Wear OS receive though? Is it unlimited? Like proprietary OS smartwatches, usually, they can only receive between 5-10 notifications.
I think the Ticwatch pro 3 is finally the first wear os watch anyone can recommend
@@JSyntax Can you answer my question about the notifications? I think you missed that.
@@deebzeal8204 I believe there is no limit to notifications on wear os, based on my practical experience
@@JSyntax Thanks. That is attractive to me.
I'm thinking of buying either the oppo watch, the tic watch or the Samsung watch. I don't care much about fitness I just want the best and most effecient watch with many features and third party apps for my daily life. What do you think I should get?
I'm biased, but ticwatch pro 3 is the best if you're in wear os ecosystem
@@JSyntax I've never had a wear os watch. I would just like a watch with a good amount of useful 3rd party apps (google maps, browser etc...) And good useful preinstalled apps. Like I've said I don't care much about fitness.
What do you think about the announcement of Wear os 3.0?
It's finally going to unleash the full power of wear os!
BRO.. thanks. .but now Tizen and Wear OS are going to be same :) so.. i would love to see them together
For wear os to be relevant to me it needs 10 day battery life like my gt2, a watch that has limited use but use is way better then a watch that has unlimited use but is dead because it's out of power.
Fair enough! Charging is a hassle. We need e-ink version of wearos
I agree with the sentiment that Tizen is not really cohesive enough, even with Android. I honestly think that Bixby is a waste of time, since it's just horrible to use because of how inaccurate and useless it is, especially on the Samsung Watches. So Samsung (potentially) moving their wearable to WearOS is a good move.
Good video, I make videos too and yes it is definitely, lots of work to get everything perfect and ready to make post. Great job, love the focus on Google and Android for us non Apple users.
Thank you!
How is this compared to the Samsung watches?
The new Samsung watch will be running wear os!
Thinking about the galaxy active 2 lol... first smart watch figured I'd start off somewhere on the middle
Nice video and info is great. Why are so little views or like? Keep the up, waiting for more videos from you 👍
I really wish something great comes from Google now that they acquired Fitbit! I love the Google ecosystem!
I'm hoping too. I'm guessing it'll be at least 2 generations before we see a change.
Same, but it could change next year since the Ticwatch Pro 3 already has WearOS 2 and is more Android based than Samsung Galaxy watch 4 I'm hoping that when it receives WearOS 3 it's will be even more connected and the bugs from WearOS 2 will be fixed. That's one reason why I went for the Ticwatch Pro 3. Even so, it's a great experience!
Suunto 7 ftw! Great fitness, GPS, payment, music and wearos
Yeee
I use a my wear os everyday but when I'm working out or riding my bike I'm sorry my garmin Fenix 6x solar is much better so I definitely disagree it has more features is more accurate and much better for working out.
Which smartwatch do you use and why? Would love to know this
Ticwatch pro 3 for reasons in this video!
You are also very smart!
The battery life is god-like compared to other smart watches. It's a reliable watch.
I love it!
9:34 - you mean 'they did acquire Fitbit'?
They bought them!
@@JSyntax yes but you said "Google Fit" 🙈
I Have Pro 3 Ultra GPS
I like how hes like the mist innovative feature is being able to see the time and not use a lot of battery. It's called a watch... they've been around for a while 😂
Lol ouch
Why do I feel that jsyntax is the only smartwatch youtuber who has a brain.
Because he actually uses data and real examples vs inserting an opinion and stating as a fact. He doesn't paint WEAROS as rosy and is fair on sharing the shortcomings as well. I've just subscribed as a WearOS+TWP3 user.
Glen, you made my day! I am trying to avoid being a reviewer that talks about specs and features. I want to share my opinions on my day to day life. Thank you for subbing!
@@JSyntax I think there are times that specs and feature are important, but they are the gateway to the day to day...take what the specs MEAN and determining if it's a good fit. -Glenn
because the others are sportys :D
Suunto 7 FTW
The Problem is that Wear OS smartwatches are relatively expensive as i could just buy a regular phone which has more features. Instead you could just buy a used Tizen OS Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 which would solve your problems and has basically almost the same features as a Wear OS watch.
They are expensive, like the pixel watch
Casio have the duel display
Ah true!
I just received my new Ticwatch pro 3 ultra gos and my Bluetooth just will not stay connected. Really like the watch but getting extremely frustrated with this and thinking about sending it back. Dry disappointed for sure after all the great reviews I read about it.
Damn
