Me (male) is looking for a simple and affordable watch / arm band / ring that tracks my pulse throughout the day and can either connect to my iPhone or my PC to analyse the data.
Smartwatch recs needed!
My husband (corporate/fitness enthusiast) needs a watch that's:
Budget: PKR 50k to 60k
Share your experiences! Thanks!
So I've gone ahead and ordered the above as a starter trial device, anyone here have any experience with similar?
Can a watch like this fit in almost any occasion and outfit? It's a Amazfit GTS 4 Mini and I really like it.
I bought huawei gt4 since 3 days , I was using GW 4 for almost 3 years , I felt love with huawei watch ,the battery is solid , I think it could reach 12 days with all sensors on and AOD (but light one like this watch face ) In terms to fashion the watch is looking great π, I think I will need a sporty strap and case to make it match with the gym ποΈββοΈ The watch seems to be durable as usual of huawei products (former nova 5t user) Connection is great with samsung s23u Notifications is great with no delay and you could reply with pre-inputed replies and you can edit them π The watch can be charged via any normal qi technology
Hello there! As the title suggests, I would like to know if there's a good smartwatch that isn't too pricey, but fair enough, with those features.
I would also prefer if it could play music and compatible with iOS. The Apple Smartwatch is too pricey for my budget though.
So, basically!
I was doing so research and I found that Huawei Watch Fit 3 is compatible with both Android and iOS, but I'm not sure about the other features. I've also read that Garmin is really durable, so thatβs one Iβm considering to buy for longevity.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. :)
Hi I need a watch for my father who is 60 yo, It needs to be accessible and relatively simple to use, and it also needs to be great at tracking health (heart rate, sleep, bp), and fitness activity . my budget is 600$ , Thank you a lot!
I'm really finding it hard to pick between the two. The biggest thing to make my decision is the battery life, 5 days on the Polar vs 7-10 days on the Garmin π± Have done a tonne of research and these are the two I'm keen on. I'm not a runner, but more of a good intentions walker (want to make it a regular occurrence), I have a Fitbit charge 4 that I'm looking to upgrade, but want to stay away from Fitbit and Pixel watches. Thoughts?
Which fitbit do you recommend I buy?
My main interests are: sleep monitoring, bpm and pedometer
Fitbit charge 6
Fitbit charge 5
Fitbit sense 2
Fitbit sense
Fitbit versa 4
Fitbit versa 3
Fitbit versa 2
Fitbit luxe
Fitbit inspire 3
My budget is max 130$, so I'll see if I can get the other more expensive ones if there are discounts
hi i need help in picking a smartwatch i really don't know a lot about which one to buy there are basically two reqiuments one that it has a music player offline without my phone needed and basic stuff time and cheap basic knockoffs feature no need for gps or amoled or anything fancy can be old to since i tight with money as a student and willing to buy used the cheaper the better
Wanting a smart watch for work, doesn't have to be super fancy but able to read and reply to texts, whatsapp and Facebook messenger in kinda important, don't wanna keep carrying my phone around all day.never had a smart watch before so all advice is good advice.
Cheers
hi everyone!
Looking to get a watch for my brother this christmas and would love some advice on what to pick. He wears regular watches on the daily but doesn't own a smart watch. He's been on the fence about it as he finds them to be kind of clunky. He does have a fitbit I got him last year but it's hasn't been able to track all of his things on Strava. (As of recent it's been crashing).
He's a Samsung user so I was considering a galaxy watch but I hear that garmins are pretty good too (although pricey) but he's not super crazy about running.
Im looking for a watch that is reasonably priced and is able to track his workouts/runs, having it also do other things is also a bonus.
Love to hear everyones suggestions!
I just lost my Charge HR 4 today, so I need a new fitbit. I work stupid hours so I use the vibrate alarm feature to not wake my partner up, so I need one that has this feature. Also, I need one that isn't likely to fall off my wrist. I think the fact that you can snap in the wrist strap onto the device itself is why I lost it, so something more secure is a must. I never used the device for calling or texting features, so that's not needed.
Open to suggestions for devices that aren't fitbit. I'm in Australia if that helps.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I've got some pretty significant health troubles that a good smart watch would help to manage symptoms.
I want to get a reliable but affordable smart watch that has a good app to go with it. Ideally able to display health metrics without the "fitness" aspect.
My ideal monitoring points would be HR/HRV, sleep cycles, BO2, etc. With as much frequency as possible and data kept long term so I can see trends over time.
I would love some recommendations, especially with apps where you can just track the data without things like fitness reminders and calorie counting burned into it.
I'm on android, based in NZ so name brands ideal (Xaomi, garmin, Huawei, fitbit, Samsung, etc). Many smaller brands don't ship out here.
Ideally low cost options. But open to medium budget for the right product.

Are there any third party chargers? I can't seem to find it
It's a 2 pin charger that came with it
Battery takes too long too charge so want something else ?
I'm from India. I want to buy a smart watch to track my step count, heart rate, oxygen etc. Basically for fitness purposes.
Budget is under 1.5k rupees. I've shortlisted one from boat and another from fastrack (revolt fs1). Any recommendations?
Ok I want a smartwatch to predominantly monitor my heart rate as well as my sleep. I use a samsung phone, I need some help though because I do not know jack about smartwatches. I use to wear fitbit blaze but it died years ago at this point. Looking for advice.
Anyone have experience with Motorola's Moto Watch 40/70/120 ? Would you recommend it? Pros and cons?
Hi, can anyone help me identify this watch? It was given to me for a student to use, but the person giving it did not know what brand it was? Please help me identify it so that I can get the user manual and the right app.
Hello everyone
you probably know the feeling of carrying your bulky phone at the gym, well it really bothers me so my questions is this:
Can anyone recommend me a smartwatch that
i can use INDEPENDENTLY of my smartphone, so i can leave it in the locker at the gym.
i can listen to music with
(Spotify, local storage)
Specifically the apps seem to be the issue, because i really don't want to switch to another program
any input is much appreciated
Hey,
i've bought my gt5 from huawei but i found that there is no indoor football activity. Instead there is Football activity which is exactly same thing.
But i wonder what abut football when spring arrives and i change my indoor fotball to outdoor. In my Amazfit GTR 3 PRO i had football with GPS. In huawei there is no option for football with gps.
EDIT - same thing in SUP activity. There's no GPS in that. I can understand there's no GPS in football but lack of GPS in SUP is not acceptable at all.
I'm really very disappointed with this Huawei Watch GT 5 smartwatch.
Any ideas, maybe i missed something?
Looking for which products and/or software combinations for the fewest steps to capture long discussions into either audio, or directly speech-to-text with good audio and transcription quality.
Looking for recommendations for quality lower-priced smartwatches (Android compatible) that could be found online, such as Amazon...ones that are NOT Samsung, Garmin, Apple, or Google. Something where the battery can last at least a couple days before needing a charge. Comfortable features, accurate sensors, and easy-to-navigate health/fitness readings and other simple apps. It doesn't have to have a GPS feature, but that would be a nice bonus. No issues with the Bluetooth connecting/pairing with my phone! Also, I'd want it to be able to connect with an easy-to-use fitness app on my android phone (something like Google Fit, Strava, VeryFit App, etc.).
Hi everyone, I'm planning on buying a smartwatch as a Christmas present for my grandma so she can check her biometrics and help her with missed calls as some times she doesn't hear her phone ring.
Does anyone has an affordable Android recommendation with this characteristics?
Thanks y'all.
Hello everyone, I've been digging deep into the smartwatch world lately... so far I've never had a true smartwatch (fully digital one), all I have at the moment is a Casio AE1200 Worldtimer and a Fossil Nate Hybrid Smartwatch, but I want to go deeper now.
What I'm looking for is a hybrid (preferably), if it doesn't have sensors for health and fitness that's absolutely fine by me, I'm not going to use that, all I need is a hybrid that has some sort of screen that allows me to see my phone notifications and accept calls, skip/pause/play music and stuff like that, if such a watch exist, I'd love to see it. Any help?
I've seen the Garmin Vivomove Trend, but it's so small..... I'm looking for something bigger than 42mm, black color preferably. Thanks!
EDIT: I think I've finally found a good contestant: https://www.pininfarina-hybridwatchbyglobics.com/product/hybrid-watches/sintesi-sport/sintesi-sport-ivory-night/
