Current Events > Which is a good smartwatch to get?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am interested in getting a smartwatch, but I don't know which one to get. There are so many smartwatch available.

The main thing I want is good battery life, so I don't need to recharge often.
I would like to track my sleeping, my exercise, listen to music, text and accept calls.

I heard the Samsung Galaxy Watch are good, but the downside is its bad battery life.

Do you have an iPhone? Then the Apple Watch is kind of far and above the best option.

Do you have a Samsung? Then probably just go with the Samsung Galaxy watch. They're one of the better ones but lose some features when you leave Samsung. They're still a top contender for any android, but does suffer from a shorter battery life (if you aren't using it extensively, I can usually get 1.5-2 days out of mine)

Note: The Apple Watch literally blocks a connection to an Android phone, while The Galaxy watch blocks a connection to an iPhone, because **** you.

A smartwatch is something you'll likely need to charge every day (or max: every other day), especially if you want to track your sleeping and stuff so you can't just charge it overnight.

I have a Xiaomi Mi 11 phone, therefore a Android phone.

I have the Xiaomi Mi Watch and it last about 12 days, although I bought it a few years ago. I am looking to upgrade to another watch.

Bump.

I have a Galaxy Watch5 Pro. If I'm using it normally, I get 5-6 days out of it per charge. It's about as loaded as you can get for a smartwatch. Looks good too with the round titanium case.

Also, not all Galaxy Watches have bad battery life. Specifically the previous Tizen based watches (of which I've had several) were known to have stellar battery life. Samsung moved over to Wear OS (which they co-developed with Google) in 2021 with the Galaxy Watch 4 which I understand doesn't have as good battery life as the Tizen-based Galaxy Watch 3 from 2020. But the 2022 lineup (Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro) are packed with larger batteries across the board and the Pro is simply a monster.

You will not find a more capable smartwatch than it that has a longer battery life.

5-6 days sounds good to be honest, plus it does a lot of things I like.
I also like how Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro looks.

Even if you turn on everything on the Pro, it'll still give you a couple days of battery.

Amazfit t rex. 24 day battery life

I done some research on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, there are functions that only works with the Samsung Galaxy phone.

What about Garmin watch, are they worth it?

I recently got the galaxy watch 4 and I'm liking it, apart from the battery life. But I've also heard the galaxy 5 battery is really good, like the other poster mentioned.

I don't have a galaxy phone and don't feel like I've been held back from anything. Works good with tracking my runs, alarms, sleep tracking, viewing notifications, sending messages, etc.
