    As someone who has never had a smart watch and always bought iPhones. I decided to get an Ultra 2 this year. After having it for a month I can say these things are just a gimmick to spend more money. My life is no better with it and no worse without it.

      You’re NOT the target audience for the Ultra 2.

      Move on.

      Why would you go from having absolutely no smart watch to getting the most expensive, most over the top smartwatch in the market? That’s like saying you’ve never had a car then going out and buying a Lamborghini Aventador as your first car.

    All I want is a smartwatch without ANY health tracking useless crap. I don’t care about my heart rate, I don’t care about my sleep quality and I don’t need a notification that tells me to stand up every couple hours. Just cut the crap and the price. Probably never happening unfortunately.

    I have the Venu 3 and the battery life is very good. The AMOLED screen and health tracking are also very good. My only complaints are the fact that integration with Android could be better and the lack of 3rd party apps.

    I wear an Apple Watch Series 7, but as far as sleep tracking goes it’s pretty uncomfortable. I’ve been trying out different smart rings like the Oura and RingConn. I would love a review of those.

    I don’t think the apple watch or galaxy should be into the list. Because they are Apple only or galaxy only. Well, you could include them but not spend over 2 minutes of 6.
    Best will be . GARMIN, POLAR,.COROS, SUNTO even fitbit

    I like my Samsung 6, but it needs to be charged every 2 days which is really a drag. If they could up the battery life to 5 days without increasing the size, then it would be perfect.

    Beware Mobvoi and the Ticwatches. They promise support and fall flat on their face. Ticwatch Pro 3 was promised Wear OS 3.0 mid-2022, here we are at the end of 2023 and STILL no update. Go with the Pixel or Galaxy watch instead
