      Tbh I can’t fault the observations. They are true. I have the 7 series and changed to apple with the 13 pro. I was an avid Huawei fan but stripping GMS just handicapped it too much.
      The Apple Watch is more lifestyle than anything else. It’s not going to compete with dedicated sports watches despite the marketing. I love the design and simple things such as RHR, tracking my runs and notifications that are pertinent. That means news alerts, calls and calendar invites for me. I’ve never understood who would want to type on watches!
      The form factor is better than circular IMO and I don’t need more watch faces.
      I think battery life is criminal but I charge first thing in the morning and that sees me through the night with one workout a day, with all health tracking on but no AOD.
      Also having my wallet on watch is great. What I’ve noticed going from apple to android to apple is how simple / smooth (but oh so locked down) apple is. I’ve completely moved to apple now and would take a lot to move away because it just suits my lifestyle now.
      Huawei watch was great but not as slick but I am talking from 3 years back now.

        Well since I take a bath twice a day, the battery life isn't a problem for me. I just charge it in the morning when I'm getting ready for work, and in the evening when I'm getting ready to sleep. Surely you won't go to bath with your watch, right?

          Bodygard, 02 Dec 2023For me the battery life is the most important thing in a sm... moreTurn off watch during sleep ! I am a busy surgeon & watch keeps me informed of all important calls emergencies & events but I keep my phone with me at all times as well —the heart rate& O2 monitor,Alarm & timer work seemlessly ;A very critical use is monitoring the noise levels as I have 50% hearing loss So can use my hearing muffs when neededI don’t use it for photos or attempt to read emails but in the gym it follows my heart rate for me I will never go to a regular watch again Used appropriately I charge it every other day I agree with some of the critique but like for a 4-wheel drive you don’t HAVE to use everything STILL THE BEST SMART WATCH

                So basically this watch must be on the charger twice a day! WTF.
                And for about 1.5 -2 hours on the charger per day it sounds like massive pain in the ass.

                  Now, this is what i call a review 👏🏼🔥

                      Wow, this reviewer didn't hold back. Lmao.

                      These smartwatches aren't Garmins or dedicated fitness trackers, so I don't know why the reviewer feels so frustrated. I use mine for exercise and listening to music without having my phone in my pocket, and it works really well. The Pixel Watch 2 is an excellent companion for Android as well.

                        I pity the reviewer, Apple fanboys will flock to him with torch and pitchforks soon.

                        Typed this from my new 15 Pro Max.

                            I agree that Apple should be called out on their " all day battery life" which they say is 18 hrs when a day is far as we know 24hrs!

                              I recently sold my 8-9 years old Samsung Gear 3 Classic. Which was a great smart watch though battery life was two days. I have recently ordered Galaxy Watch 6 Classic besides already bought Crossbeats Nexus 2.1 inches Nexus ($60) 2.1 inch AMOLED, which has all sensors like ECG,Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Sleep Monitoring, Apple Watch like form and UI including dial mode, dynamic island etc...metal magnetic strip watch straps could be bought for ₹4-₹5. I never fancied ridiculously expensive Apple Watches.

                                I agree with some of your points but do you have any idea that apple watch is the most accurate for heart rate,sleep tracking,oxygen etc nothing else comes close

                                  People who buy a watch with 18 h battery life should get along a free offer to xRay their head at the nearest hospital.
