Forget price and not interested in looks.
What is the best Android Wear device today?
Need Android Wear
Best Battery life (ambient mode always)
Heart rate
I think the Motorola watch is out poor battery life (can not keep it on ambient mode)
The Sony Smartwatch 3 misses on heart rate monitoring (it locks up on me intermittently once every couple weeks to month)
But I can not think of any other watches.
.... holding out for now I guess, hopefully the next generation will be better.

I don't think the Sony has a heart rate monitor at all.
Or did you mean your heart locks up on you every couple of weeks? If so, you need a doctor and not a smart watch.

LG G Watch R. Watch battery last me 2 days easily with ambient mode on and has a heart rate sensor. And imo the most normal looking watch design wise.
I loved having a working heart rate monitor on my BT tethering watch, zeblase Crystal. unfortunately, the heart rate chip failed, which got me seriously looking at Android watches. I was pretty impressed with the D5 and D5+, since you can tweak to improve battery life. Then No. 1 announced the D7 with a very nice 500 mAH battery, which they claimed has 5 days of standby life. I began waiting for some good, detailed reviews and, bless him, Smartwatch Ticks delivered. Well, his online review and updated RL testing, which you'll find in the comments below the video, reveal a smartwatch with improved battery life and decent recharge times. He got 29 hours with BT and WIFI on, a SIM card installed and screen brightness at 50% (GPS was turned off). Recharge to 100% took 90 minutes. When in conservation mode with the SIM card out and everything shut off and screen brightness at 25%, he got 76.5 hours. The best thing for me is that No. 1 will shortly be bring out a sporty twin version of this watch with a silicon band, the D8. I think this will be my new smartwatch, when they're available. It's not just the battery size that's helping achieve better battery life, they also used a battery-friendly design, dual core architecture rather than quad core and lower resolution screen. With that said, it's got a beautful screen and performs well. I'm hoping Smartwatch Ticks gets the D8 to review, too. If you're looking for an Android smartwatch with good battery life, I'd suggest that you check out Smartwatch Tick's review (it looks like there's finally a decent update to Fundowear's fitness app, too).

Thats what I am thinking too!. I have a lem5 and love it, but battery is maybe 5 or 6 hours with minimal use.... So I was looking at the D7 and blown away by smartwatchtick's yourtube!!!!!! Then I happened to see the no1. D8 from their website and I am sold!
With everything off (wifi, BT and GPS) I have 20% per 24h battery drain so it's pretty nice result.
Hello,
I was wondering as to what would be the best smartwatch that accurately measures the heart rate? I don't want it on all the time but I would like it to report my heart rate while I am biking, working out etc.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the LG G7 Fit before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
How mucho is your screen on time? I get about 4-5:30, its really anoying and am thinking that the baterry is a crap, my moto g5 plus gets about 8 hours of screen on time and its two years old so i dont know if its something wrong whit my g7 fit
Hi I get similar SOT between 3h and 5h depeding if on Wi-Fi or on MobileData.
Hello everyone....
I am not new here but I just have not posted here in a few years (like 7 or 8 years).
I bought an S10+. The heart rate sensor (flash) gets very hot... it literally burns my finger.
Is that a known issue?
Same problem.. my finger burns too
I installed an app for heart rate measure because samsung health didnt have heart rate option. When the heart rate is being captured thr finger burns so bad that i have to remove it and later place it again.. but its unbearable.. what happened...
