"No matter what we say, it's not enough. I've owned many Android flagship devices over the years, but none compare to this one. The screen is incredible, as well as the number of features (such as hands-free operation). Yes, the battery lasts only a day, but that's the case with all flagship devices (look at the Galaxy Watch). The price is steep, but you only buy it once."

Buying Guide: What to look for before purchasing

  • The operating system of your mobile phone. Not every watch is compatible with all smartphones, so pay attention to whether the operating system is compatible (android, iOs, etc.)
  • The main use for which it is intended. Do you need a watch specialized in sports or lifestyle and monitoring your notifications?
  • The average battery life. This is particularly useful information if your hobbies include long outings (for hiking for example)
  • The ease of customization. How important is it for you to be able to customize your smartwatch e.g. to have various options for straps or watchfaces?
