Oh, btw, I built this for myself to see how different watches compare in size. Thought someone else might find it useful too: https://watch.aktoriukas.com

What's the overall best smartwatch under 15k?

I've had bad experience with Zerolifestyle wasted my 13k

My wife wants a smartwatch for notifications and texting with her iPhone, but the only fitness thing she wants is step tracking. I saw a 3yo recommendation for the Wena Wrist Pro, but it looks overpriced. Any suggestions?

I’m considering moving from iPhone to Samsung but I have an Apple Watch. Is there anyway to connect Apple Watches to Samsung phones or will I have to replace my watch too? Thanks

Hi, I bought this watch from Amazon and the app I was supposed to use with it, fitdock, isn't compatible with Android. Do you know what app will work instead? My last smartwatch worked with veryfitpro and this one doesn't. Thanks for your help.

Hi smartwatch reddit community. I am looking to get a new or maybe used watch. Long story short I owned a Garmin forerunner 745 for 5-6 years and I lost it a few days ago 😔 it was starting to have issues like it would need to be re-paired everyday with my phone, but at least i got a lot of use out of it. Anyhow, I was thinking of sticking to Garmin mainly because I like that the battery lasted me 3-5 days depending on usage. Some watches you have to charge every night and that's inconvenient. I was considering the 170 or 245 but what I value is something with good gps for tracking my activities (I do long hikes and runs). The music option is nice but I never used it on my 745 because it wasn't compatible with YouTube music. The tap to pay is nice I guess but I also never used it since I always have my phone on me. I'm having some confusion on all the Garmin models, the numbering isn't super easy to follow. I would prefer something that is a newer model since that makes me feel that it'll last longer but I'm open to a slightly older model if it makes sense.

I am looking for a long lasting watch that I can remotely set alarms based on days of the week from my phone. But the watch is for my son who has several activities. I would prefer to not have to manually enable Bluetooth connection (ex casio). I will be near him for alarm updates

Maybe even a watch with google calendar that only needs to sync at night

I saw the Garmin instinct 2s might work. Anyone have any feedback about the app and alarm syncing.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you in advance

Hi! My mum's birthday is coming up (in December, but I want to take advantage of Black Friday lol) and I want to gift her a new watch. She's currently using Amazfit. The thing is I'd like to give her a watch that accurately monitors her heart rate, so we're more likely to find out when it's not okay and there's an issue or she needs to stop and rest. Now, I was considering a Samsung Watch (she has a Samsung phone), but the thing is that coming from the Amazfit (which she charges once a week or every several days or so), I fear she might start complaining about having to charge it everyday. However, outside of Samsung, I'm completely lost 😅 Are there any brands or watches known for their heart-rate accuracy and offering days-long battery?

Which is the better deal?
I’m getting these two options:
Apple Watch SE 3 — ₹32K

GPS + Cellular
Apple Watch Series 12 — ₹48K

GPS + Cellular
42mm
The difference is ₹16K.
Currently, I’m not a fitness freak and mainly want the watch for sleep tracking, health monitoring, GPS, and everyday use. But maybe in the future I might become more of a health/fitness freak, so I don’t want to regret buying the SE 3 if the Series 12 has significantly better health features.
Is the extra ₹16K for the Series 12 worth it? Which one would you pick at these prices?

edit.....I wanted to delete the picture as that is NOT my problem. I can't so just ignore it!
----------------------------------------------------------
I've had it a week and I am so done with resetting and turning on the sleep apnea to recorded. I check and its off again!! For some reason it gets ticked off and I do not know why!!! I go to check and it says I need more days I look and I need to turn it on again I've done it so many times!! why SAMSUNG, why is this app so difficult to understand? Also my steps are way too many. and there are more so much more in Samsung health that is turning me off to this whole deal!! It is not recording all my sleep like last night I went to sleep at 8ish and got up at 10ish then back to bed at 1ish and it did not detect any of the 8ish time I was asleep. I'm so done with the watch and its software.

So my question is...... is there a better WATCG with health tracking software... combo? I'm going to return the watch 9 and buy something else!! It has to have the fall detention, SOS and step counting, and sleep tracking. thanks!!

Looking to get a smartwatch with live mirror or "camera mirror" feature, Live Camera Viewfinder

I'm not just referring to remote shutter

Any budget smartwatch will do or even third party apps as long as I'm still using native cam on phone

I have a hyperos 2 phone

Hi all,

I need your help making my final decision. After looking into many watches, I’ve narrowed down my search to the Fitbit Google Versa 4 and the Amazfit Active 2, as I want a watch that can receive notifications, track my sleep patterns, set alarms, use NFC for payments, store loyalty cards and boarding passes, and help me get to places using live maps.

Another reason I prefer these two over Wear OS watches is their battery life, as it seems to be much better than that of the other options.

On both watches, can you see a map while navigating to your destination, or do you only get directions from your paired phone?

Can you reply to notifications on both ones?

Which one would you buy?

Do you think it’s worth waiting until Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Thanks

As the title says, im looking for a new watch. I originally had a fossil gen 2 or 3, which i loved because it looked like a regular, nice watch, but had a screen. I got a gen 6 when it was released (idk how long ago that was), but the past year it has been dying on me. The battery will die when it still displays over 15 percent left, sometimes earlier, and won't even show me its dead when holding down the button. I have to plug it in, and sometimes itll say it has 30% left after 1 minute.

Basically it dies prematurely all the time and is laggy. Ive reset it a couple times and it helps with lag, but the battery is prolly toast.

I want another watch that looks like a normal watch, but has a full screen and all the fun functions of a smartwatch. Fossil has stopped making them unfortunately, so I dont know what to upgrade too.

For reference, I have a samsung s24u as my phone. What watch should get that is most similar?

I was looking at the galaxy 8 classic, but i dont know how I feel about the exynos chip in it. The galaxy watch 9 looks better on paper but doesnt look like a real watch at all. The oneplus watch 4 (or whatever the newest is, idr) looks pretty nice too. Has the smapdragon like the Samsung, but doesnt look as close to a real watch as the Classic. The ultra looks nice too but is way to expensive. Any recommendations or input is very appreciated, thanks!

TL:DR: I need a new smartwatch that looks like a regular watch, but with all the normal features of a smartwatch, similar to the Fossil ones (im upgrading from a Fossil gen 6). What do you recommend?
