It is gonna be my first smart watch and i currently use the nothing Phone 4a pro is it like good for the budget as I have no clue regarding this tbh please help me guys cause I don't wanna make a bad decision and regret later

Little upgrade from the realme watch 5 to the huawei watch fit 5 pro.

Left the Galaxy Watch world behind earlier this month.

Honestly, how many of us think about the actual personal use cases that we have for getting smart watches that actually influence/inform our purchases?

In my case once smart watches began getting BP monitoring & heart rate variability measurement functionality, that was/is my main reason for a smart watch purchase. Some context; I am a blood cancer survivor who suffers from long term chemo induced cardiotoxicity (hence a weak heart) & am hypertensive to boot.

GalaxyWatches worked fine for my use case using SHM mod which was nixed in the recent watch One UI 8 (iirc) update.

After plenty of searching on the internet looking for workarounds/solutions, I went ahead & bought this, the Huawei Watch D2.

The ambulatory BP monitoring works in every territory because it uses a physical cuff built into the watch strap & is medically certified. The results are very accurate if you measure in the postures prescribed by Huawei. I've checked the accuracy using an Omron arm cuff monitor as well as a Beurer wrist cuff monitor. The readings are consistently within a +/- 2 mmHG on all 3.

The display is much brighter than my erstwhile GalaxyWatch 5 Pro. The battery life even with hourly BP measurments, AOD, GNSS & a perpetually on bluetooth connection is more than 4 days. The call clarity is miles better than it was on my 5Pro. Notification sync is near instant. Heart rate tracking is more accurate than Samsung as well as sleep tracking.

The watch does require careful physical handling when taking it off & wearing it because of the integrated BP cuff.

What I miss, the ease of being in a seamless ecosystem, the huge variety of apps & watchfaces on WearOs, the huge ROM (D2 only has 4 GB & primarily for health records) that allowed a ton of on watch music and the wifi connectivity.

OTOH being able to keep an eye on my heart health again makes foregoing the above worthwhile.

So I got this Apple Watch SE for ₹5000 and here is my review after using it for 72 hours. So in three days, I had to charge this watch only two times the biggest test I ever did for it was yesterday when I charged it at 12pm to hundred percent and then I used it till today at 12, so which was only 24 hours more or less. It would be nearly 24 hours 23 hours and what I would say I got this watch 90% battery health and yet I was able to go through 24 hours without even needing to charge it once I could take my calls wherever I want seamlessly so I would say it was a very good deal for me because I’m a very light user, but what do you guys think was a good deal for ₹5000?

Couldn't resist. The black GT6 Pro finally arrived. Already took it for a run and started digging into all the metrics. Looking forward to seeing how my fitness stats evolve over the next few months.

I bought the Amazfit Bip 6 a few days ago and it's not working. When I turn it on, it goes straight to "recovery mode" and I can't do anything. I've tried everything but it won't get out of there. I need to know if anyone else has had the same problem and how they solved it.

Not sure if anybody actually lists the watch at MSRP lol

Picked Kospet M4 up a few month ago mostly because I like the shape. I know bigger rugged watches aren't for everyone, but this one felt like something I'd actually wear for both daily use and weekend stuff.

I've been using it for the usual things like sleep tracking, heart rate, SpO2, notification, and the occasional call. On weekends I've used it for hikes and open water swims. I'm about a week in right now without charging and it still has some battery left. I'm not babying it either, The screen sits inside a stainless steel frame, so I'm not worried about scratching it or bumping it into stuff. For the price, pretty happy with it so far.

Hello,

I have a Garmin Vivomove Sport. It's not bad, but I find the battery doesn't even last 3 days.

I am looking for a watch that has a good battery life. All I really care about for features is having a display (I need to be able to check the time at work), heart rate monitor, and step counter.

I'm not looking for anything super fancy, cheap and efficient is perfect.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I currently own apple watch, but lately I have grown tired of this display and this constant connection with digital device.

I somehow want to stay away from display but also want to be able to measure my activity as apple watch does.

I haven’t tried any of the devices without display yet and am not sure if they really work the same way.

There are these couple of things that I want my watch to keep track of:
1. My daily step.
2. My sleep analysis(my duration of sleep, heart rate during sleep…)

Thats mostly it I can think of right now.

Can someone suggest some good bands. Also if you have used them and how they rallied against apple watch.

Current setup is s25 ultra

I only use my gw7 for walking/steps, heart rate, check notifications, once in a while I may answer calls or answer texts from the watch. I put my watch on battery saver since the estimated time is 1 day and 18 hours.

Im considering switching to the balance 2xt, one plus 3, or upgrading to the gw9 44mm.

Any advice?

I hate AMOLED's burns, and using them in SUN. Sure, bright colors in night times, but i don't need that. I prefer to have less colors like MIP displays and good battery life. Eventually solar charging.

Anything that don't cost a fortune?
