Hello.
So, I've never owned a smartwatch before and I want to get one. Thing is I am not sure why I want one, its more of a tick am having and that is why I can't decide on what to get.
First I thought of Huawei GT3 Pro, mostly for its design and the battery life also the accuracy of its HB system. But not having many apps got me worried (like voice recording, notes, responding to messages) I am not sure if I would ever use any of these apps but since am still roaming around the idea of purchasing the product. Do you have any other products that you would recommend around this budget or shou ..read more

I need help I recently bought a Huawei Watch GT1. Using the Huawei Health app, I was able to receive notifications on another mobile phone. However, with honor I cannot receive them.I already updated the firmware, I have the latest version of Huawei Health, I already factory reset the watch, I already reinstalled the application, I already gave all the necessary permissions, I have already verified that the notifications do reach the mobile phone (but not the watch). I read somewhere that Magic os 7.1 changed something about "HWSERVICES" or something like that, and that maybe that was the rea ..read more

I'm absolutely devastated as my boyfriend bought me it for valentine's day and it was expensive ?
Can anyone help ? I've tried Google find my devices as well as all the Samsung apps, looked at both my place and bf' and nothing ..read more

Hello all,
i am looking for a smartwatch / fitnesstracker, that has the strongest vibration, so it can wake me up at night. from time to time i have to react to mails / alerts i recieve so i wish to be notified via vibrating alarm.
i had a mi fit band 5 and it worked pretty well, however i have the subjective feeling that the intensity lessened over time, plus it is a hassle that the watch cannot be turned off per default (it had to drain the battery completly).
I am currently testing the galasy watch 4, however it is a hassle to configure and it seems like the notification is not as reliab ..read more

I am trying to decide between Garmin Venu 2 and Fitbit Charge 6 or Sense 2. But it seems like none of these watches allow me to upload my own custom sounds to be as alert sound?
I am also thinking of using the smartwatch for podomoro technique (studying), which smartwatch is the best for this ..read more

The QiFitPro app seems to be a fork of the Qwatch Pro app, does anyone know if there are other apps supporting the same cheap Chinese smart watches as these two?
"Laxafit Pro" and "JYouPro" can see and bind to the same watch, even seeing the firmware version, but can not read other data nor control it.
"TFit" can see it, but not even connect properly.
I had hoped that there might be a better app out there (perhaps even offering more watch-faces), but experimenting with at the least a score, only gave the above ..read more

Hi!
I’m new to the Smart Watch world, but not to tech in general. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic on Amazon (renewed). Works beautifully, except when charging. The watch itself gets really warm. Is that normal? I have tried with a 3.0 generic charger, an Amazon Basics 2.4a charger, and a Samsung travel adapter 3.1, and a generic 1a charger.
TIA ..read more

As some of you may be aware, Samsung released a faulty software update late last month or early this month where the Galaxy Wearable app did not work properly and features such as text message notifications failed to appear on the Galaxy Watch 4 smartwatch and I believe also the Galaxy Watches 5 and 6 and Google Pixel smartwatch. I had this problem as well, though I did not hear about the faulty software update until after I uninstalled and re-installed the Galaxy Wearable app on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and factory reset my Galaxy Watch 4 and re-applied my custom settings on the smartwatch ..read more

Hi guys, newish to technology, so a little basic help would be awesome, thank you
I work at home with a current iPad Pro. dont own a mobile phone, just an ipad. I'm on the understanding, after a bit of research, that Garmin is the best smart watch to pair with an ios ipad. (why Apple dont allow their own smart watches to pair with ipads is crazy).
So, i'm looking to know which is the best Garmin smart watch i can perchase that has GPS, visual mapping facilities when you go hiking and walking, the usual calorie burning, step count etc etc , all this that will seamlessy and perfectly link and ..read more
