Either LTT or Shortcircuit but I would love to see a showdown of a bunch of different hybrid smartwatches. I know of 3 brands doing them, maybe there are more but it would be really nice to see. From what I know it would be between Garmin, Withings and Fossil and of course not sponsored by any of them to get proper reviews. I used to use Pebble but those of course are not made anymore and I hate all new normal smart watches and their one maybe two day battery life so would really like to see the pros and cons of all the different hybrid watches to see what ones are the best. Personally using a Fossil hybrid now but am considering a withings or garmin as my next to get a bit more "smart" features and also the fossil app feels a bit clunky, connectivity/syncing is rough at times. Still like my watch in a world of black square watches that don't hardly function as watches I get many compliments on my watch while still getting notification info, music control and step counts.

I actually bought this watch recently after i developed more serious issues with my heart on top of the issues i already have. I'm 28 and I was born with a rare heart defect that basically left me with half of a heart, and another defect that affected blood flow to my lungs to pick up oxygen. So having a medically validated ECG and oximeter on my wrist while disguised as a normal watch was pretty much what i was looking for. My biggest criticism is that the heart rate gets confused if you are doing any sort of weight lifting which is super minor but if that matters to you, might be a deal breaker. Cardio was pretty decent though. (yeah i know dude with heart issues weight lifting? i got the ok from my cardiologist with reasonable weight restrictions)

This is less exact of a reading, I believe, but it detects arrhythmias without you having to do anything. I was made aware of an arrhythmia because the app would send me notifications in the mornings, telling me my heart beat was irregular during the night.

Well not much to compare tbh. An apple watch (especially the LTE) versions are more like small smartphones rather then watches. Battery life on this is better obviously. But due to the small screen size and lack of touch screen functionality, the Apple watch can be considered more feature rich. They both come with the same suit of sensors, with both being clinically validated, so there should be no difference there. The Scanwatch is more of a classic watch with some smart features, while the Apple watch is what most would consider an actual smart watch. I personally prefer the Withings rather than an Apple watch, as I just don't see myself being all that more productive with the availability of a small touch screen, while the battery life in it self is a huge plus. The screen on the Withings shows notifications, caller ID and some small info like weather. What you should get depends on your use case and preferences

Since Motorola never made a moto 360 v3, I bought the tic watch pro but it was sooo slow. Just going through the menus would cause it to freeze up. The only nice thing about it was when the battery got low, it could switch to the secondary tft display and display the time for days. It could also use the tft for the always-on feature to avoid any burn issues on the main display. Since this watch avoids that issue all together by being a watch first, I'll definitely be giving this one a look.

Maybe one day I'll be able to get a strap that just gives me notifications for my watch

Needle alignment. On my old G-shock (that I kind of miss) you align then when they are not aligned (e.g. when it ran out of juice when the hands are not in the upright position). It's very ... interesting. The outer ring I believe is either used for keeping track of time (e.g. a simple timer), or some magic compass things by using the hands together with the sun (and/or the moon).

Small correction: the scan watch black white 42mm actually has glow in the dark watch hands! it's one of the reasons I upgraded from my steel HR. Also the scanwatch has interchangeable wristbands. I picked up a steel one for like 25 on Amazon and I have been wearing it for years. Also the app and ease of connectivity is years ahead of any competition. I got my gf a fossil one and while it works fine, it just ain't the same (she likes the look though)

Google really has a chance here to set an example, a new benchmark, of what a smartwatch should be. I've not bitten the bullet yet because every watch available seems like some compromise.

@propersod2390 2 жыл бұрын

The pixel watch is garbage. It's already confirmed to have a 4 year old (or 6?) chip. It also is quite tiny so don't expect good battery life. I'm gonna straight away assume it doesn't have many health features either. If you want an android smartwatch that's good then get a samsung one. Stop relying on google for anything - they're only good at hyping things up and not delivering.

@JamesLikesCoffee 2 жыл бұрын

@@propersod2390 Jesus that really struck a chord for you, didn't it? Rumours and speculation go a long way, but assuming the processor is indeed outdated, perhaps the watch is optimised for that particular processor. In this case, there is no need to go for a more powerful one as this could lead to a higher cost, with more poor battery performance. Regardless, it is exactly that...speculation. we can't tell for certain, especially considering how the product is to be launched much later down the line; things may change. But what I want to know is how this is so pressing for you. It may be a terrible product by comparison. Samsung may be better. But I just wanted to express my interest in the product: is that too much of a problem? You don't like Google products, fine (or at least the watch in particular), but does that authorise you to belittle my contrasting appreciation?

@nankinink 2 жыл бұрын

@@Muscleduck I'm afraid that Google setting a benchmark might not happen at all. Their products always kinda sucks when compared to the competition, save for a Pixel phone or the Google Home assistants. They could at least innovate on the format and set this benchmark by offering a different view of the smartwatch, kinda difficult since Google isnt trying to break paradigms but rather following trends with a tiny "google twist". At least that's what I see following them all these years. Said so, I'd love to see Google succeeding on it and creating a new standard smartwatch, but my hopes are actually zero lol

@propersod2390 2 жыл бұрын

@@JamesLikesCoffee Bro its not speculation. It is according to reputable sources. And when it comes to google those sources are almost always right.

I'm not sure if LTT or ShortCircuit have looked at the TicWatch Pro, but based on this it definitely seems like you'd be interested. Particularly in regards to battery life, you get 3 days on a single charge with regular smartwatch mode and a month if you set it to essential. In essential it turns off most of the smartwatch features, but it still does heartrate tracking, sleep tracking, etc. They managed to get such "good" (compared to pretty much every other smartwatch) battery life by running two displays. One is your full fat smartwatch display and the other is a low power digital watch display that it swaps to when you're not actively using the smartwatch.

I think the best "smart" watch that I have ever used and still use is the Fossil Hybrids. I first bought the communter which just moved the dial for when you got a notification and some other things, i only replace the battery once a year. I also got the new Hybrid which has a dial and a LCD screen. It has a customizable background and you can put different modules that can tell temp, day, or battery perecent and stuff. The battery life is also around 2 weeks which is really nice, especially since it charges in like 20 min. Thats been my go to recommendation for "smart" watches.

Now if only Casio could release a hybrid Casio Retro I would be a happy camper.

Linus, try Garmin fenix 7 line. Just got fenix 7 saphire solar, month ago, and it's amazing. Long battery life, very accurate health metrics, good insights in your training and recovery, stress and so on. After using Samsung sporty smartwatch for 4 generations in a row, I am shocked by how smart this watch can also be. And on top of that, it no longer look like a tank. Just a rugged ish style above medium size watch. The display allows you to see time anytime of day easy same as analog would. For someone as you who is also doing a lot of sports, I think it would be great.

I’ve had mine for about a month now and I love it. I typically wear it during the week for work. Some times on weekends with the blue band. For workouts and sleep, I use my Apple Watch. Why? Tracks stuff better, and to sleep it’s lighter. For what I need and use, it’s a combination that I like. I wish I could pull up notifications whenever I wanted. Now, if I don’t catch the notification when I comes in, I can’t go back later and see it. Also, it would be nice if I could make purchases using the watch (that’s not going to happen with Apple Pay I’m pretty sure). I just need to get used to carrying my phone more often.

I love this kind of smartwatches. I bought a Garmin Vivomove HR like 2 years ago and it has been pretty solid but I'm already looking for an upgrade and this looks great. I wonder what happens when the battery it's pretty low, with my Garmin the sensors turn off but it still shows you the time for a couple of days. I charge it like twice a week but man, charging just once a month would be so great. It's so annoying to have another device to charge daily.

Battery life is super portant for me as well. After my last fenix died I tried one of the Samsung watches and oh boy, was that one annoying. Barely 1 day on a charge, it was kinda "waterproof", etc I switched back to garmin fenix 6 and I'm loving it. 14 days on 1 charge (without logging trainings) , up to 50 when in battery saving mode. I usually get 1 week out of it, logging 1 exercise every day. It's a win for me. Although, this Scanwatch look pretty awesome as well 👌

Excellent battery life, just enough functionality, and rugged as hell compared to most smart watches.
