Rest of all are like cheap plastic or Toy metal watch. Unfortunately I am no more with IOS so its a piece of watch now for me. But still I wear if it goes with my dress , & it goes well.

            if you have an iPhone then basically there's no other choice of smart watch. the functions are good. the only thing i wish they change is the square form factor, make it round

                            The reason Samsung is taking huge chunks out of the smartwatch market now is simply because they're making the most appeasing looking devices, which are also _much_ lighter and more comfortable to wear. And they don't look like frigging little 80's tube televisions.

                              The hate is strong in here. I can always count on the Apple derangement syndrome here in the comment section. No other smart watch has the capability of the Apple Watch. The watch last all day long and it doesn’t take long to fully recharge battery. I have had a Apple Watch from day one. Just upgraded to Series 4 with cellular and that makes it even better. With most of my apps being supported, I don’t have to pull out my XS Max out. The Watch is one of Apples best products. If you have not used a watch, you can’t talk. But then again, it is just irrational hate for Apple. You should be thankful for Apple. If not for Apple you would not have your Android phones to tinker with. Since Android is stolen Apple IP, so are the phones. You all would still be using phones with physical keyboard..........lol

                                  Apple customers wear a smartwatch because it is Apple. Android users usually don't need a smartwatch because an Android phone has so much customization that they are too busy playing with it than focusing on a tiny watch.

                                    I thought about getting a Galaxy Gear watch but then I thought why would I buy something else that needs charging every day or other day. If you want health monitoring get a Fitbit.

                                    I look at my solar powered Casio Gshock and think why would I replace it, No hassle whatsoever with that !

                                      Another day another Apple is leading it's respective market article.

                                        Battery life is the biggest problem. if only smart watches like Apple watch or Samsung watch could last more than two days... Unfortunately you have to charge them almost everyday. This is why I use withings watch which is hybrid and lasts for 2 weeks.
