Xiaomi Watch 2 vs OnePlus Watch 2 vs Samsung Watch 6 Classic vs TicWatch Pro 5 - Ultimate Comparison

[@MrDemDon1]

The Samsung watch 6 should lose points for forcing you to use a Samsung phone to take full advantage of its features. That was the single greatest reason why I did not buy it and went with the TicWatch Pro 5. You are clearly favoring the Samsung watch.

[@Sean-uk4tf]

Thank god you said it, cause I was waiting for the point reduction to what otherwise was a good review, but it never came. Samsung benefits from a lot of people having their phones, so don't realise some of us won't get featured because they are effectively behind a pay wall.. The one plus watch 2 like the others is unrestricted, so to me is the winner for any non Samsung phone user.

[@kurth5286]

Yes. Because of the proprietary aspect it should be a 5.

[@MrDemDon1]

@@kurth5286 Yep. Plus when Google finally drop the highly requested bigger watch face later this year they will eventually dominate the smart watch Android market. I expect the same to happen with their Pixel phones too. I once only bought Samsung phones and eventually switched to the Pixel Pro.

[@MarcoPolo82]

The reviews of this guy are biased.

[@redhunter1535]

What are these super important features only working on Samsung phones?

[@davidwhite6875]

Galaxy Watch 6 has 2.5 days? On what planet? It only lists itself as 40 hours, which is 1.5 days.......

[@SylvainCoppens]

strange indeed. Even the new 7 bearly reach that while the one plus seems to go up to 4 days, sometimes slightly more... :-)

[@leaolln]

The only difference between the Snapdragon W5 and the W5+ is that the Plus version also has a dedicated secondary ultra-low power processor for battery saving purposes. However, Oneplus has opted to implement its own ultra-low power processor (BE7200) instead, which is much better optimised than what we've seen so far in smartwatches with the W5+ Gen 1, which is a plus for me.

[@theotheleo6830]

How about points off for being the highest cost watch? You can't fairly compare a watch that is less than half the cost of the highest cost watch. Of course, the highest cost watch is going to have more features, sensors, and styling.

[@Tekz12]

The Ticwatch has a built-in compass therefore the Ticwatch also has a built-in geomagnetic sensor. Also as far as I know the Ticwatch does not support the Google assistant.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes correct, they all have a compass. Thanks for sharing.

[@jemersonbarros125]

Yes, he uses natively, alexa for assist

[@dadandvideogames]

Since getting the OnePlus it has renewed my faith in Wear OS. With 3+ days battery life, it's FINALLY worthwhile.

[@Nick-bx1we]

Some things about the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic really disappointed me. There are a lot of non-removable Samsung apps, no ECG/blood pressure functionality on non-Samsung phones (although I managed to make it work with a forum post from XDA Developers, it required a lot of effort), it requires the use of 3 separate apps (which makes it a bit confusing and definitely over-engineered), and the battery life is very short. That's why I eventually bought the OnePlus Watch 2. It's not perfect; the app is definitely not as good as Samsung's, but the battery life is awesome. Additionally, I encountered a pairing issue with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Overnight, it suddenly stopped connecting to my phone. The only way to get it working again was to perform a factory reset on the watch. (I'm using a non-Samsung phone)

[@AustinElwess]

Lots of misinformation in this video, 👎 from me. Buggest one i noticed is that the Ticwatch Pro 5 does NOT have the Google Assistant which is a huge letdown.

[@siddheshshivraj3534]

Why is no one covering the step count accuracy of these watches ?

[@jamesslaughter8666]

I just buy my GW 6 Classic 47mm ⌚️ today at 361$ on Amazon and I already have the GW 5 . 44mm I paid 127$ at that time and I love this watch ⌚️ alot 👍🏾💯🏆

[@ChigzTech]

Good choice, love my classic too.

[@regardzz]

@@ChigzTech just curious were you not able to get watch 2 pro or there difference is minimal ?

[@ryanrocksize5]

Many of the benefits of the Watch 6 gets destroyed to nothing when you don't use a Samsung Phone together with it, big L for Samsung for locking down many features (even reminders are locked down, requiring third party app syncing instead of native support) Also, currently in my region , the Xiaomi Watch 2 goes for exactly half the price of the other watches in this comparison, that's a huge win in my eyes.

[@dexterjones7187]

I have a Samsung phone and watch 6 due to seamless integration. However, I wondered what other watches offered. Your comparison was very helpful regarding software and battery performance. As a whole, well done!

[@dardobartoli]

Excellent review as always. The one thing I am pretty sure you miss out on is the advantage of being able to charge the Samsung with reverse wireless charging from a phone or battery pack. As mentioned previously, this facility more than makes up for any battery disadvantage of the Classic (though the 5 Pro does have much more comparable battery to these others).

[@ChigzTech]

Yes true, love my classic.

[@Tangent360]

A friend had a Samsung watch a couple of years ago and said that it was slightly limited when not connected to a Samsung phone; is that still the case (if it ever was)? Also I'd take away a point or two from the Ticwatch in Performance based on their poor support history. The Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra only got an update to Wear OS 3 (not even 3.5) a couple of months ago and it removed the existing ability to customize the buttons.

[@jemersonbarros125]

has already recieved the update to wear os 3.5 on ticwatch pro 3 and E3.

[@Chris34720]

Great review ive owned tic watch and it doesnt support Google assistant and mobvoi are bad for pushing updates

[@striker8380]

I get 4 to 5 days battery life on my oneplus watch 2!

[@thedarkknight1971]

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF... Mobvoi (for their next TicWatch Pro 6) ran the same OnePlus watch 2's dual SOC/Operating system architecure? The dual screen already helps with an impressive battery life, so with that 'Dual SOC/OS system' too to give it a WAY better battery life (possibly into the GREAT top Huawei watch batt life territory)? HECK I'D BUY THAT! 😏👌 😎🇬🇧

[@Chris._P._Bacon]

I got the OnePlus, fits perfectly and cost less.......google pay compatibility, nuff said!

[@moin4985]

Very nice video, only very importaint thing that you didnt mentioned is, that a lot of the Samsung features are just working on sanung phones while all the other work at all android phones. Thats a huge downgrade and should have been mentioned.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes only 2 features that does not work on NON-Samsung phones, thats ECG and BP, everything else still works and you still get more sensors and features than the other watches. Thatss why id did not downgrade an points.

[@Priss7293]

I had already ordered a tikvach for myself, but then I changed my mind and took one plus. I hope that they will go well with the same smartphone.

[@ChigzTech]

Both great watches, enjoy your new watch.

[@wkdlskf]

you should make a point for the pricing

[@jfralick100]

Especially when you can pick up a OnePlus watch 2 at $219 with a trade in of any device/ recycling discount. PLUS a free pair of their $99 one plus buds 3. I mean the value proposition alone is absolutely killer.

[@ahmedmoustafa34]

Tic-watch pro 5 is my favourite watch I love the fact it has sandwich 2 screens and the battery life otherwise all of them are just the same I bought my watch because of your opinion of the tic-watch pro 5 previously

[@faustolab8789]

I suggest including the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro (LTE) and the new OnePlus Watch 2R in the comparison list. Any consideration on these models?

[@GlamourGadgetsGamingbyLia]

[@sjc]

Good video, I have One Plus Watch 2 and the GW6. The extra battery I get on the One Plus (as a former Fitbit user used to 5/6 days) makes it my favourite despite missing out on the ECG/BP monitor which I didn't really use (and BP monitoring was pretty inaccurate).

[@ChigzTech]

I really like the OnePlus watch 2, massive improvement over the first edition. In fact it's rated no2 on my chart. Love the display, battery life, performance and the dual OS feature is impressive. Main issue for me is it was too big for my wrist and Watch Face downloads and transfer takes longer than the other flagship watches. Other than that it's a beauty.

[@brucelin5842]

Thanks for the review. It's the best. But almost no one has tested the voice recording (only the Tickwatch Pro 5). Could you please test the Xiaomi Watch 2?

Smart Watch 2 is way better than Smart Watch 3, imo.

[@jhow7779]

Good video, but if you put the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro it might be closer to each other. One more thing you forgot to say that certain functions of the Samsung smartwatch only work with Samsung, so in my opinion it lost some points, but it's just an opinion.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes you're right, I think I should have also added a basic health sensor test. I will remember these points next time I do a comparison like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@arizonaland742]

That's a serious thing to omit. I think he's a bit biased and favors samsung in most cases. For example, having 3 separate apps for one watch is a big no and should've cost samsung some points.

[@michelplouffe7934]

I like the way you doing it giving a score for each categories. If someone is not happy whit your score it can give is own score and see the new result. Only one complaint you didn't test the accuracy of some features like heart beats. I heard that Samsung 6 Classic wasn't very good on that?

Thanks, happy to hear.

[@glorious3688]

Thank you so much even this time i do not agree with you by giving each category of comparison the same value of marks (10 marks each), it is impossible that strap has the same marks of specs or battery. I would say for example that Dimensions, comfort and strap all together deserve only 10, and i will add price as well and give it 10 marks.

[@ChigzTech]

I have already done individual reviews of every single watch in this video, outlining their pros and cons. This video was just a mild comparison presented in a different fun way. So even whilst making this comparison, i already had in mind the pros and cons of all the watches. So even without scoring the watches, the end result would actually have been the same. GW6 classic is genuinely the best smartwatch, Oneplus is 2nd best and so on so forth. Battery life alone can not decide how good a watch is. I love the OnePlus watch 2, but cant ignore the cons i found in the my main review: OnePlus Watch 2 Cons: Only One Large Size No LTE option. No Fall Detection No Widget for SPO2 Crown Button not Scrollable Very Slow Watch Face Transfers

[@glorious3688]

@@ChigzTech You are right about oneplus 2 which is in reality nothing more Oppo watch x, but Ticwatch has a different story. For me Galaxies are always on the top but still angry with them for degrading the battery from GW5 pro to GW6 classic.

For a 100€ you should not upgrade, chromecasts do not have any kind of advanced imagen upscaling of non 4K content that so abundant on streaming apps, so you lose a lot of quality when compared to the native app on your TV, I have 3 4K chromecasts and basically use them for the easy of casting to my TVs over the stock TV proprietary systems.

[@arizonaland742]

You tried and I have no doubt that samsung wins overall but you were quite biased and seems to favor samsung alot more. For example, the galaxy only works well with galaxy phones. Also the 3 apps for a watch is a no no. Among other things.

[@ChigzTech]

I gain nothing from being bias, I have bought all these watches myself. I wish someone would beat the Samsung. Even without ECG and BP the Samsung is much better than the competition. Even with 3 apps, the apps are better. The design of the Samsung is unmatched in quality and aesthetics. All the other watches are behind. Samsung failed by using a weaker processor and I mentioned it. Samsungs battery life is also weak and I mentioned it. No matter which watch I review the Samsung ends up back on my wrist, as the others just are not good enough.
