Weekly poll results: battery life and waterproofing make a good wearable

22 July 2018
The truism is that today you can't have a smartwatch with a high quality, always on display that has acceptable battery life

Sort by:

I get just over 2 days on my G3. Mostly using it for notifications, heart rate, clock. I have the voice part turned off (doesn't work anyway)

    GregLu, 21 Jul 2018I sad that because I was the one that requested that ;) ... moreLet it be known, that Greg Lu was the one to prophecize the future!

          Battery life is the most important for the overall smartwatch spec!

                Walter C. Dornez, 21 Jul 2018Honestly, I think you'll be the one with last laugh wheneve... moreI sad that because I was the one that requested that ;)

                And as for the camera, it existed before, so why not after all ? :D

                  GregLu, 21 Jul 2018Haha thanks for the comment on the jack :DHonestly, I think you'll be the one with last laugh whenever some company does it

                    I would like to have one that has either eco-drive or solar power. But to be honest i have not wear a watch over a decade for sure. Want to see time i look it on my mobile. Dont see a point to have something around my hand that then will have white skin under cause of the sun. I even want a g-shock watch but not seen any i like or a mechanical and it's same thing with it that i have not seen any i like :D But never understand why i need a smart watch that i need to charge every day or over day. And these fitness functions on it i dont need as my work dont involve sitting behind the desk all day long. And by how i feel in the end of the day i suspect i have traveled over 10km a day every day on my feet no problems as i do school floor waxing or warehouse work so i dont need to go to gym cause of what i do for work and well i have been 70-75kg something 20 years by now and never have to worry about my weight what ever i eat or how much i eat.

                      Wait for bending phones - wearable ones, with battery bending around wrist. Could be done with simple watch to get awesome battery life. Or are leather straps more important than what you see in this poll?

                        I'd like to have a headphone jack on my watch so that I am aware of its existence. Thanks.

                        /s

                          Well... All i wanted is a simple watch were i can change the clock design. I don't care if it doesn't have gps lte etc. I want it as long as i can change how it looks. Coz i don't want to spend hundreds of bucks just for a watch that i will lose interest in just a weeks.

                            Haha thanks for the comment on the jack :D
