How's the situation with Android smartwatches?They were so shit for the first few generations that they put me off the whole thing. Are they on the level of the Apple Watch now? Is it worth getting one?
>>107019471Android watches were always better than Apple watches.Standby battery life is superior and it's literally android, so you can load any apk app and install them.
>>107019471I think Galaxy Watch Classic is a pretty good option. Gives you notifications, checks your blood pressure or whatever meme health shit you care about, lets you pay for stuff, and at least it doesn't look like shit unlike the retarded Apple Watch design. Personally I am not autistic enough to own a smartwatch, but I'd say it's not a bad option.

>>107019471why is samsung the only company making smartwatches that don't look like children's toys? I fucking hate their UI but at least they put some effort into their watch design.
>>107019471>Mocks every smartwatch ever made16 days battery life, muddafuqqa !
>>107020119lemme guess it's some amazfit horseshit that does a fraction of what every other android or apple smartwatch does but does exaaaaaaactly what you need it to do, and that makes every other choice stupid, right?
>>107020172No.It's an amazfit smartwatch, which does exactly the same thing as your Android Slop without being shitty, full of errors and battery draining horse shit.
>>107019471f91w solved watches, for everything else you have a phone.
>>107020259>which does exactly the same thing as your Android Slop without being shittyi can hold a button down and tell it to set a reminder or timer for me which will reflect on my actual phone?i can use google assistance to control my smart devices at home? i can ask it questions which it will use a search engine for to give me the best answer it can find?
>>107020409If you hold down the button on an amazefit watch, you're introduced with an AI assistant, either offline or online, something Google lacks
They're still retarded shit.You don't need a fucking heart rate tracker, dude. Or to check half a text on your wrist and send back "ok" as a reply.My watch leaves my wrist maybe twice a year for DST. Can't imagine having to charge that shit constantly.
>>107021074I like having maps and notifications on my wrist and to pay for purchases and public transportation without taking my phone out.
>>107019471I paid 35€ for a Galaxy Fit3 and it does everything I want like heart rate tracking, sleep tracking, steps, distance etc.I don't see the point in spending 10x more.
I work retail and these things help me not lose my fucking mind when I have to stare at a wall waiting for customers 8 hours a day
what do people even use those for? I kinda wanted one when I was starting my degree so that I could cheat but at the beginning of the every exam they told us to take every kind of watch off
>>107019471>Smartwatch Would you like to buy my slightly used vintage Lambo? I'll make you a good price since you're retarded.
My casio f-91w mogs both android and apple watches.
>>107021074If only the health sensors on your average smartwatch weren't complete shit I could even understand why people would bother, but the technology just isn't there yet I would rather just buy a normal watch
>>107020119>every smartwatch ever madeNot every smartwatch. Pebble will always be the best.>30 day battery>Always on display>Does literally everything apple/android watches doFuck Fitbit and what they did to the OG.
just buy a DW-H5600 if you absolutely need a "smart" watch
>>107019471>Falling for smartwatch meme
>>107023059I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for almost three years now, but I don’t think I’ll be buying a new one anytime soon. I notice the notifications on the watch make me more restless, even when it doesn’t make a sound or vibrate. It still pulls you out of the moment, and you can forget about your phone for longer. And do you really need to see all those things instantly, all the time?The fitness features are fun and addictive. But in the end: what do those numbers and charts actually mean? They’re just measurements based on Apple’s criteria (or Garmin’s, or whatever). Things like calories burned and activity level are approximations at best. Ultimately, the more you exercise, the healthier you get. And if you feel tired and weak from overtraining? Take a few days off. Same with sleep. You already have a built-in sleep score: how you feel.In the end it’s just a fun gadget where you have to dance to the standards of a big tech company. But the charts and so are addictive. I’d say it only really adds something for when you're training for a marathon or something.
>>107019471>How's the situation with Android smartwatches?Decent to great hardware, but Android Wear is still dysfunctional sneedware. Apple Watch is so far ahead it's almost comedic.
>>107023687What's the rightmost watch in this picture?
>>107021074You don't need a watch at all
>>107019471I have the watch 8, they patched the ability to sideload a modded Samsung health monitor to use the EKG, Sleep Apnea and BP monitoring on a non Samsung phone. This will be the last Samsung watch I get.
>>107019789One plus watch doesn't look like a children's toy, the galaxy watches are shit tier due to closed ecosystem too

>>107019471They're great. I never buy first Gen products but the pixel watch 2 was a solid solid watch. I would have kept using it if I didn't accidentally smash it against a barbell. Pic is my pixel watch 3 45mm variant. I bought one a year ago to use as a fitness watch. The other side benefits of it are nice but the health tracking features are where it shines. I use the TDEE estimator to gauge how much I need to eat and gow much I burn. It's also nice because faggot CISO offices who setup asinine mdm solutions for Android phones typically forget to disable the setting that prevents auto smartwatch unlocking so I don't need to enter in the alpha numeric pin my faggot employer makes me us if I don't have it.
>>107021052you didn't answer any of my questions
why does a watch need more compute than an arduino
