With stuff like the galaxy, pixel, or Apple watches you're expecting around a day or a day and a half battery life, yet with Garmin and amazfit watches theyre advertised to last around 2 weeks on a charge, what's with this major gap in battery life? You don't see this with phones submitted by /u/Spirited-Unit1686 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

TLDR: idk exactly what I want in a smart watch but I'd take a pixel watch if I could Gadgetbridge or flash an OS and stop it from phoning home and just call it a day but I can't so looking at other options what do I look at? I have a pixel with GrapheneOS so I can't just be told or think buy an Apple watch or Samsung watch if I have a Samsung and Google pixel watch otherwise. I would love to be able to just buy a Pixel watch though and Gadgetbridge it to provent all the phoning home or flash an OS to it, though I think it supports that not that its as easy as a pixel phone or that anyone has ..read more

Why can smartwatches not connect to tablets I have a tabS9 ultra that has a sim port and can get a plan on it. Still the galaxy watch can not connect. The cellular argument doesn't hold up just like the wear os can not connect to tablets. Because I can connect a pixel watch 2 to a tablet a garmin and a galaxy fit. So why can't the galaxy watch be connected to tablets submitted by /u/StrawberrySlight7325 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am a healthcare provider in a small solo clinic. I am changing my phones to a voip service that will ring to my cell phone. I am looking for a smart watch to wear while I'm working to see who is calling and decide if I want to pick it up at that moment or let it go to voicemail. I need to be able to disable notifications for apps like Facebook because I don't want the distractions while I'm working. I will likely only wear this when working. Calander notifications would be a nice bonus. submitted by /u/psykikOregonTrlGener [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This will be a huge upgrade for the watches that can support it. You'll be able to listen to music/audio from the watch without killing the battery and have nicer sound. A big advantage for the ecosystem. Google hasn't said anything, neither has Samsung submitted by /u/Seglem [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I'm looking to get a smartwatch that could be interesting for the gym and school. I bought a Garmin VivoSmart HR a couple of years ago; now has come the time to replace it. I feel like it never gave me accurate heart reading (it was picking up heartbeats when I wasn't wearing it). Also, I was not too fond of the Garmin app. It was too complicated to use, and I got disconnected from my iPhone. Here are some requests : - I have an iPhone XR. So, iOS connectivity is a must. - I like to know my heart rate when I go to the gym and throughout the day. Having something to lower stress might also ..read more
