    Don’t buy Samsung watches. They are full of bugs/errors and Samsung only keeps making the software worse than when you bought it. It’s like they keep introducing new bugs/errors on purpose. It’s insane how stupid they are.

    Why the battery lasts only 2 days in stead of 2 weeks or more? ⌚

      because there are a lot of sensors and features

      Because it’s a smart watch not just a fitness tracker like a Garmin

      Have you never owned a smart watch before? What quality smart watch lasts anywhere near that long? Name one.

      It’s because it’s a *REAL* smartwatch that connects and gives you notifications without pulling out your phone. It’s also compatible on majority of Android Apps.

      And I’m pretty sure you’re talking about Huawei Watch GT 4 46mm because it says “2 week battery life”. BUUUUT;

      1. reviews says it’s inaccurate and it can only last 12 days with ALL major features OFF. So basically, it’s just a watch.

      And, 2. Huawei watch doesn’t have the majority support of all Android Apps because it’s running HarmonyOS which is *different* with WearOS.

      And even Apple can’t pass more than 2 days. So yeah, there’s no REAL smartwatch that can last weeks.

      ​​@Quentin Anthony AndersonI think he’s talking about the Huawei Watch GT 4. But I still don’t know if it’s acceptable to call that as a smartwatch. Yes, it has the bells & whistles on the fitness part. The notification & app support part isn’t available or robust than WearOS or even WatchOS of Apple because it uses HarmonyOS with low app support. Though it can last a full week with some features turned on, and if all features are off, it can last 12 days.

      @nickrachjames  Yes! There’s tons of unique designs, and then if you find one you like, there are often options to customize it.

    I just ordered the watch 6 regular 40mm and am trading in my watch 5. Not really sure the differences but for 55 bucks after trade in and discounts for Black Friday it was worth it. Husband will trade in his 5 pro for the 6 classic for 80 bucks.
