How about Huawei watch gt 5 pro?
Samsung sensors are accuracy crap
Whoop strap!! Really?
Why u don’t include Huawei watching
They are the best looking and battery and amazing shapes
does the withings scanwatch Nova do the EKG? It looks like is written on the screen as option
Any Smart Watch you can’t change the battery in after 3-5 yrs is disposable TRASH !!!
Looking at you Apple !!
We obviously have a different definition for budget.
Oura ring is shit.. better buy ultrahuman ring..
No ticwatch? Strange tbh
For men’s when it’s comes to watches is a BIG FACE if the pixel watch had a Big face I would have buy it but it’s doesn’t this why I got the Samsung watch 6 classic 47mm I wish they would have a 50mm but Samsung they just stick with the same thing
I am happy with me rm20 normal watch.
just get to the phucking point!! jesus christ. 5 minutes of words, to describe one watch… my god!
Dude I’ve been watching videos in this category and you’re so far the ONLY video I’ve found that’s not just pure AI slop. It’s crazy how terrible YouTube is now with a complete lack of personality and opinion from creators. Seems like the feed is clogged with AI cash grabs. It’s sad man. But also much love, thank you for making an actual review piece.
Gota be the worst video on smart watches I”ve ever wathehed
Pixel user here. The way Samsung hides smartwatch features behind the "Galaxy wall" is why I’ll NEVER buy a Galaxy 😂
There is no Fitbit in this list ??
Who gives a damn? Get a real watch and be a ducking man. Your smart watch was made for the trashcan.
Got a Galaxy 6 classic about a month ago – so far so good.
One funny thing – I was playing with a dog some weeks back. I would pick up a ball and throw it, and the dog would take off, get it and bring it back. At one point the watch started buzzing – I was curious what it was all about – there was a thing on the screen that said "Did you fall?", or "Do you need help?" – can’t remember which. I select "No" – it then had a menu with things like "Yes, I fell, but I got back up", "I didn’t fall", and something else – I guess to summon help.
16:53 made me forgot all other watches and order this 😍
How can the Galaxy watch be the best overall for Android users if it has locked features for 99% of Android brands?
What about the Huawei watches??
Best battery 4 days? My Coros watch lasts up to 30 days. That’s with about 6-7 hours of fitness tracking.
Hi you didn’t talk about the Huawei Gt 4 in this video, any thoughts on it ? Great video by the way thanks !
Can any of these watches be connected through Bluetooth to fitness equipment as a HR monitor?
I have a pixel fold but I don’t like the pixel watch…. What do you recommend??
You didn’t specify how the one plus watch works with non one plus phones. Does it work without limitations as the pixel?
Fantastic channel! I find something new for myself every time.
Great video. Lots of information on the different variation of needs and desires
Guys he was paid to say that
Hi! I love your videos. Thanks for all the tips. Have you tried the Polar watches? Have a Garmin vivoactive 4 now and will probably get the venue 3. My boyfriend has a Polar so got curious. Unfortunately Samsung Galaxy seem to have low battery life. (Have a samsung sg23 phone)
Thanks a lot. /Jenny from Sweden

The biggest hurdle with this kind of ratings is the fact that you compare digital measuring systems which target health and health conditions! And with most thing digital its accuracy can vary quite a lot. So before doing any of that rating you would need real data measured by real medical systems and then combined with the features rate the products, otherwise you end up recommending a device that might be shiny or has tons of features that actually don’t work or just display misleading information. Appreciate the effort though, for some of the categories it’s a nice comparison
Galaxy 7?
13:41 They both need subscriptions
and Samsung users say that Apple is closed
Was hoping this was a non liberal paid influence video! how much did samsung pay you and apple ?
did you know theres a million other manufacturers of Smart watches that combined all of them things for less $$ & better quality. i was hoping to see a real market list. but your stuck in the brand name only mindset. Absolute perfect example is spending almost 500 after warranty and taxes on a pair of Beats Headphones. That i worried to much to bring outside. To getting a $55 pair of headphones by company Oneodio buying there StudioPro Bluetooth5.0 made me completely regret buying beats there sound quality is half of the oneodios at $55. Buying beats only has social status bullishit wearing them. it’s like they didn’t even try to compete with other manufacturers on quality at all. manufacture name does not correlate to quality just increase price and there names popularity
Best smartwatch 6 months into the year.. eh?
Who says cheap products are not good? *amzrepe* will make you shine! The bags I bought on this website were all thought to be real by my friends, so impressive!
Great vid, love the high pace
Hi, i am a heart patient at the age of 28 so i need a watch that can track my heart rate and gives me a reminder when to walk so i dont get trombose. I am new to smartwatches and i use an Poco F4GT phone. What would be a good option for me?
where is huawei? something wrong with this vid man
Thankyou bud
What about the vivoactive 5?
I tried the Galaxy watch..terrible battery life. What about the Garmin watches?? VENU?
9:50 You can but Galaxy Watch FE. It is essentially a rebanded Watch 4 Classic.
@mikeobrienmedia or anyone is there a watch that has a working gps speedometer that does not require a connected smart phone?
why the list doesnt have any huawei watch ?? they have some good one
galaxy watch need a sensor to scroll while touching the side up and down
Huawei dont have better battery life?
What about the Galaxy 7 watch?
