I have seen some tech reviewers doing reviews on these smart watches for a long time now... they all talk but no stuff... but I must say you are doing a wonderful job of walk the talk... Easy to understand all the technical jargon... I am happy with your content.. You got a new subscriber.. Ya pls bring the xiaomi watch review and pls do let us know which is the better choice among 3 tic pro5, Xiaomi or 1+2... cheers mate

Got mine yesterday, LOVE it. Having a Pixel Watch 2, the size is excellent. The biggest plus is the sapphire crystal glass and advertised battery life, and that it has the weight and feel of my analog watches. My Pixel Watch 2 already has glass damage which really sucks and I have to charge it every day. My only gripe so far is all my fitness tracking is in Fitbit and at least for now, can't be moved over or integrated (yet?).

Funny thing is, like you, I am still waiting for the perfect smartwatch and then last night clearing out my google stuff, I came across 3 photos of previous smartwatches. Sony (square jobby) with the fabulous screen that was ledgible in daylight! Moto360 with the flat tyre that I honestly never minded because it's bezels were so thin. Huwawei, an early model with sapphire glass, beautiful stainless body and the smallest bezels ever. I still think this is the best form yet and watches went seriously backwards from this point.

@dardobartoli 2 місяці тому

Great review as always, and I completely agree with the frustrations of some of the Samsung frustrations you mention. However, that battery life is exactly the same as my classic 6 on smart mode and given the bigger screen and rotating bezel and most importantly wireless charging, the GW6 is far superior. We've had this discussion before, but just knowing I can use my phone to reverse wireless charge my watch offsets any loss in battery life (compared to the unreliable ticwatch) Where I agree is Samsung failing to provide a better Battery Saver mode. It cannot be beyond the watches capability to provide a user defined set of saver modes whereby one can select what features you disable completely. I read that google has now added the facility to allow different facilities to be run by different chips so perhaps it will happen next generation. In the meantime, Samsung will give users features like reviewing Health tracking on TV.. that is so useful, can't wait to try it out.😂

Very great review as usual, thank you a billion! We have finally a new champion waiting for head to head comparison. Not very surprised with this great watch and i see the fingerprint of Oppo very clear here. Two processors, i think we had before in Oppo watch 4 pro, not sure about the battery modes but i feel that oppo watch X is the twin of oneplus 2. Great job and great review. Thank you a lot. Two last points. The first is about the head to head comparison between Mi band 8 pro and Samsung fit3, where i feel that samsung will fall again. The second point is my message for samsung to think better for future especially for battery and stop rotating good features between watches, this is the result of making watch 6 classic weakin battery to support purchases of watch 5 pro. Sorry Samsung but you are not the only option in the world of smart watches anymore.

@michaeldendulk2230 2 місяці тому

Hope this helps spark a drive to improve battery life on WearOS watches. Had the Ticwatch Pro 5, but ran in to some very annoying software niggles on it, so got a Galaxy Watch 6 Classic at a hefty discount (plus it has LTE). Love the watch, but 1 day battery life is rough. Software is good, no oddities as yet, app is good, probably overall the best WearOS watch I've owned to date. The Xiaomi Watch 2 looks nice and has 2-3 days battery life, but no promises on software support and also reports of quite buggy software, so a pass from me. Something about the button design/layout puts me off this OnePlus watch, as the 'crown' doesn't actually do anything, I don't really see the point of making things asymmetrical, like they have.

There’s no schedule option so you can automate the on and off times. Inevitably I’m going to forget to manually turn them on or off and it will have consequences.

I'm also interested in the vibration strength. Other reviews on Reddit said it was similar to the Galaxy watches. Which is good. Very few reviews mention the vibration strength which is frustrating to me since I need a strong vibration to wake me and give me daily notifications without sound.
