I'm in the market for a smart watch and just woundering what others use with their G6.
Fossil Q Marshal
Fitbit Blaze. I know not really a smart watch, but it's paired to my G6 and offers notifications.

Fitbit Blaze paired with G6. I get the best Battery life of 6 days average, notifications, and I walk and run with a community of online friends. I've had Android Wear before and barely getting 1 day and similar notifications didn't cut it. And no Fitbit app or walking with friends. So the Blaze it is.

In this video we match the Note 5 against the LG G4 in an all out brawl to the death. The first round tests the phones ability to launch apps while the second round tests multitasking performance. I was very much surprised by the results. The Note 5 has to reload every app in the second round while I found the on screen buttons of the LG G4 to be a bit cumbersome for the purposes of this test. Jumping to the homescreen to launch the next app was much easier with the Note 5's physical button. Which phone has performed better for you?
G4 well worth

Happy i made the jump from Note 4 to G4! Especially because of the root situation!

Note 5, 4go ram, 4go of bull****.
If the G4 didn't have such a weak GPU...
What about the S6 Edge Plus??? Might get it Friday!!!!

The E+ is basically the same device with two curves on the screen and no SPen. .. and this test was done with the S6 vs the G4 with the exact same results. I see it as a non-issue really on both ends, with that being said... tomorrow I'm moving to the Note 5 simply because the S pen appeals to me and would be helpful to have. Otherwise, I've been mostly happy with my G4 and will likely miss it.

Made the same move. But from the note 4 to nexus 6 to G4. Awesome devices the last two. I love the g4. Very awesome device.... ? and I got it for 25% the price of the note 4. Samsung, In my very personal opinion, is inflated and overrated.

Yea thats samsungs thing. I downloaded a background process limitor from the Play Store on my LG G Pad 7 because it only had 1gb of memory and playing a heavy game like Terraria would result in my launcher and background apps like sidebar closing out all the time. The app would let me adjust the amount of apps were open before closing others.
I am sure the Samsung users could increase this software limit and easily beat the G4. However Samsung does this also for battery savings.
Anyone have an Android wear watch paired with the s7e?
I bought a zenwatch 2 recently and think of buying an s7e but I read in an other threat that the note 5 often disconnected from the watch.
What is your experience with s7e (especially the exynos version) and Android wear watches?
The disconnecting might be tied to the last version of Android wear, it was a common problem of disconnects constantly. A update was pushed recently that fixed it. I don't have my s7e yet to test it with but I'm willing to bet that was what it was.

I Hope that was the reason.
I want to buy it asap because of the promo.
I have a note 5 and a Moto 360 gen2... It never disconnects after the last update. Was disconnecting constantly before that.

I have the S7 edge and a Moto 360 gen 1 and have no issues with the watch at all. I came from the Note 5 where I did not have any issues either. A bonus was when I reset my watch for the S7 edge it finally pushed the Marshmallow update to my 360!
I have Huawei watch and it works perfectly with S7E. I had lots of disconnect with Note 5 and found out the problem was defective BT chip on Note 5.

Really looking forward to testing out a better BT chip on the S7e. I've been using the Note 5 with some BT headphones that require me to turn wifi off in order to keep a connection of more than 2 feet (literally won't work if the phone is in my pants pocket).
Have you noticed better BT with the S7e overall? Or just a better Hwatch connection?

S7E BT is light years better than Note 5. And it's not my Huawei watch. I also have LG G watch and getting great distance from the new phone. With Note 5, I have issue connecting to my car audio. I had to connect/disconnect a few times before the music/audio will finally work with it. With S7E, the phone gets connected to car within seconds. Very happy with the purchase so far.
Have S7E, two days connected with moto 360 gen 1 with no issues. Came from Nexus 6.

Can't make calls on my Zenwatch 2 (with Samsung Galaxy S7 edge)
Hey, I've got a ASUS Zenwatch 2 and used it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 for quite some time, worked nicely, just a little slow because the S4 was slow as well. But since I got myself a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, I can't make calls on my Zenwatch directly anymore. It just starts the call on the phone and then I HAVE to pick up the phone and speak there, the call just won't go through to the watch via bluetooth. The bluetooth symbol also shows no active connection, however I DO receive all notifications on my watch and have internet access on it. Does anyone know how I can make calls on my watch again?

you may need to manually update the software. you are probably several upodates behind since s4 is at least 3 generations old.
check the manufacturer website for any updates.

The watch has the latest software installed, that much I can assure you, I've checked. That's why it's beyond me why calling over bluetooth worked on an old Samsung phone but not with the latest.

are you using a stock rom or custom rom ?
I am looking into a new Android Wear 2 watch, but can't really decide what the smartest buy is. Obviously taste makes this a loaded question, but if you were to buy a fully loaded AW2 Watch, which would it be?
The new Casio (no Heart Sensor), Huawei Watch 2 or ?
I like the looks of the Tizen based S3 Classic, but that nonexistent app store makes it a no go.
What would you recommend?
I like my Asus zenwatch 3.
I can't say enough good things about the Huawei 1. I bought it and the HW2 Classic at the same time and the HW1 is much better for me.
I tried both Zenwatch 3 and Huawei watch 2 international edition. I think I like the huawei more.
So I am looking for an Wear OS watch. Any ideas for a good watch and overall good. I had a Sony smart watch 3 and it was nice for what it was but looking for something better. Got a Nexus 6p for my phone.
Maybe Huawei Watch 2 or Ticwatch Pro.

If you want a cheap but good quality wear OS device, I suggest Ticwatch E. Changeable straps, android oreo, 24hr battery life, good build quality.
I can recommend the TicWatch Pro. A really nice device. First I had a Ticwatch E, but it's a plastic device and the haptical feeling is really cheap.
In terms of quality and design i can recomand emporio armani hugo boss ot tommy hifigher watch but in terms of features and battery all three are averege. Ticwatch pro is best option on marchet rigt now but all big producers are lawnching theyre new watches like huawei watch 3, lg urban 3, moto 360 3rd gen all are wright around the corner.

I really enjoy my Fossil Sport. Battery lasts me a day and half to two. Good for fitness, waterproof, and has the new chipset so it should only get better with the next WearOS update.
Also it's on sale now for less than $200 so it's a steal!

I got a fossil q g4 explorer and the Micheal Kors I like em both
I was finally time to retire my gear s2
Im a mechanic and its lasted over a year no issues But I the battery is killed over in the last few weeks
Is it still OK to "resurrect" a 1 year old post? Damn, last time I used xda was a life ago.. Anyway, back here for searching the same thing: Which smartwatch to buy.
I researched a bit and as for now, the 4 best choices are:
1) Fossil Sport
2) Ticwatch Pro
3) Huawei watch 2
4) Skagen Falster 2
But all of them are "some months old" already. So, not sure if waiting for the new generation or "f*** it imma get it anyway".
2) Ticwatch Pro
I have almost all Wear Watch (and Huawei 2) but the Ticwatch Pro is for far the better. 2nd LCD screen for always ON and not light emited like a lighthouse. Large OLED screen 1.4". Better battery life for all wear watch. Real innovation for a watch.
Last 4 posters: did you know that it's a year old thread?
Anyway I'm using Fossil Gen 3 and happy with it. The Gen 4 only ads NFC...
If you you are interested in a ticwatch, there is now a limited $50 / €50 off using code "Mobvoi50TY" during checkout. Will make the Ticwatch Pro even a better price/performance

Hi guys, I do not decide between 3 smartwatch, could you help me decide which one to buy?
Samsung galaxy watch comes with tyzen and rotating bezel
Huawey Watch 2 comes with android wear without rotating bezel
Huawey watch gt new model, I do not know if it's better than the Watch 2
Important points:
I think having a rotating bezel gives a positive point to the clock
So I have read tyzen is not well optimized strong point for android wear
Then i dont decide between samsung or huawey... By the way i love cool watch faces like fallout pip boy or super mario faces,..
Which of the two operating system / clock has the most support on wahtcfaces?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME GUYS
Huawei Watch GT is just a Fitness tracker, almost zero smart.
Huawei 2 very Good smartwacth, maybe the best for Health and battery life but Wear OS little annoying.
Tizen Watch, not bad at all, more stable than Wear but not many app, but many watchface.

Which is the best smartwatch then? XD
Yes Huawei Smartwatch 2 is the best of Wear Watch with better battery life. Just the screen really tiny with 1.2" vs 1.3" for Gear S3 or 1.4" for Ticwatch E. But all Wear Watch other Huawei 2 has a real bad battery life.
My vote goes for the Huawei watch. The Huawei Watch 2 is one of the most popular mens watches watches in recent time.
Some of the key features that give it an edge over Galaxy Watch are:
It comes in two editions (Sport and a Classic)
It has a 1.39 inch Amoled Display, which is much superior than Samsung’s 1.3 inch
The watch also boasts of a built-in coach functionality.
However, the Samsung Watch does possess one advantage which is it rotating bezel. It helps improve the interface.

Huawei watch 2 has an 1.2" display so really smaller than the 1.3" for samsung Galaxy watch (and S3). But some new smaller Galaxy watch has smaller display in 1.2" like the Gear S2.
1.39" is for the Huawei GT wich is not a smartwatch but an activity tracker.
Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best rated in reviews, has decent battery life and some apps that you can install.
Huawei Watch GT also has great battery life but it's a brand new closed platform with no app capability and Huawei don't have the best reputation for updates and bug fixes. Could be a great platform in the future but it's a hell of a risk at the moment.
Huawei Watch 2 is Android Wear so lots of apps but OS is so poor on battery life meaning no continuous HR monitoring or sleep tracking.
I would go for the Samsung - good platform and some apps.
