Where is huawi watch fit 2?!?!?! Perfect smartwatch in cheap price for both ios and android!
For smart watches i prefer the physical face dial over the crown and touch screen
Apple watch SE 2 is the best !!!!
I’m team Apple and im enjoying using my Apple Watch SE 1 generations
Review rap battle
Nice sum up for a tricky topic
Hey bro, this Wearables Buying Guide by CNET is sick! 💯 Btw, wouldn’t it be cool if they used an AI tool like FantaClaus to help respond to our comments? 🤔
I have both the Apple Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic; both work well with their respective ecosystem but I think the Apple Watch Ultra takes the cake as the smart watch king (like a true smart watch, not something you just get notifications and has no full app support like my Garmin, which is a different category). I notice and have seen from different sources that the sensors on the GWC6 is just… bad like super inaccurate. There’s a whole video that breaks it down.
Amazfit GTR 2
i got my Apple Watch Ultra a month ago for 40% of its original price 2nd hand on our country with still complete packaging and no dents and scratches.. its still like brand new except the Trailloop Band that needed a wash
Edit : the watch is still under apple warranty until January 2024, not bad i guess
They’re not worth buying. And by that I mean ALL OF THEM. pathetic battery life is their main problem.
Thank you Lexi
Which team are you on Lexy?
Garmin or nothing. ⌚ Not the smartest watch, but it does inspire to improve lifestyle, tracks and analyses sports like no other. With a battery that lasts.
Love your videos Lexie, please don’t go anywhere
You do not need any of these. The motivation to do exercise is intrinsic. A watch is not going to give the push to do actual exercise to anybody. A watch will only show the number of steps taken without doing dedicated exercise activity and people will grow more content to avoid exercise.
I love my Watch Ultra. My wife loves her Watch Series 7. My son loves his Watch SE
ahhh
Garmin sportswatch all the way. Though, if I could access Apple notes, I would consider an Apple Watch.
Missed your reviews good to see you back
Having owned an Apple Watch, Pixel watch and currently on the Galaxy watch 6 there’s honestly not much in it for the majority of people it will really come down to preference and operating system compatibility.
I like watches that dont connect to the internet LOL, but still these are dope bc it furthers the development of technology
Had a Apple Watch since series 0 was released, still to this day i have never bothered to download a app, they all (The apps) seem a bit useless to me. I just use it for the notifications, calls and fitness tracking.
Team Android. Most smart watches and fitness trackers work well with Android phones. But if you have an Apple Watch, you’re stuck with the iPhone.
My garmin venu 2 is going strong now for 2 years. As someone who wants to detach from my phone, the venu is perfect and notifies me of any work email or pings, but doesn’t have the unnecessary features such as a mic and speaker, which results in me getting 10 days of battery life.
Hey Lexi, I’ve seen Samsung watched with a blood pressure monitor outside of the US but it seems like they don’t have approval for America. Will that be added on later to the 6 classic? Which would be the best for also tracking Blood Pressure if I’m on a Samsung Galaxy phone? Thanks and keep up the good work ❤
Apple Watch has the worst pedometer, it updates super slow
Thank you Lexi for your uplifting spirit and disposition. I am looking for a watch that has a display of time with seconds, all the time. I do not need it for sports, just time, sleep monitoring, pulse, etc. It could be a hybrid. Any suggestions?
Lexi, have you ever tried a watch that takes blood glucose readings? I’ve seen inexpensive ones on Amazon. Also, any idea if apple will be putting out a watch with BG monitoring in the next few years?
Great video!👍
Cool no mention of Huawei they last up to 2 weeks .
I recently bought Galaxy Watch5 44mm version with LTE for 160$ (it was the last stock of watches in the store), I’m pretty okay with it but I might want to return it and buy Watch4 Classic for the same price, I love the rotating bezel and it’s more practical than digital bezel, plus it looks way better
what do you think?
Would love to see more on the Amazfit watches. They never get much attention on these bigger pages.
I seriously was considering getting an Oura ring but tech reviews always mentions the subscription service thing. Was turned off by that.
Where’s Huawei?
So beautiful and great video ❤
Smartwatches = waste of money
I don’t know how Apple Watch SE became so hit still it is not a watch self without AOD!!!!!
Should have a video about the companion app because that would also make a big difference in user experience in terms of how well they are and what metrics are provided without paying for premium accounts.
Coming from galaxy active2 galaxy watch5 both LTE versions i love both of my smart watches ❤
Waiting for the fabled BP monitor swatch
She definitely doesn’t have American accent. Is that Australian accent? 🤔
Most smartwatches give you an option of setting the wrist on which you want to wear your watch. Is there a difference in the hrm accuracy and step accuracy when you wear ot on on one wrist vs the other?
Pushing a stroller or shopping cart. Which smart watch actually records steps for these activities?
