I have one of those wompa-sized "tacticool" Armitron watches, and I've never swung from anything. Wait, I take that back. I swung from one tree when I was a kid, fell out of it, and landed on my head. That actually explains a lot now that I think about it. In my defense though, I didn't own the watch back then, LOL.

My manager bought an iPad in Shanghai some years back. I was sceptical, but he thought it was a bargain. That it was square in shape did not give him any clue he may have been scammed. Not even when he turned it on and an Android logo showed on the screen would he admit defeat.

[@BogdanM116]

I was always an analog watch fan until about a year ago when I got a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with my S21 Fe. I got used to it and I love the rotating bezel. It makes it much easier to navigate and it gives the watch a stylish look imo. I'm really sad that the Watch 5s don't have this bezel and once this thing dies I'll probably revert to a good old classic watch.

[@kcgunesq]

The next gen is rumored to bring back the bezel. if it gets good reviews, I will upgrade from my 1st Gen.

[@MrMega200]

I use Amazfit because they have good support and the battery lasts 6-7 days with all of the bells and whistles enabled. I'm done with using smartwatches that have to be charged daily because after a year or more of that, the internal battery is useless and super low on the capacity, which makes the use experience worthless for tracking work outs or even use as a regular watch for that matter.

[@Riccorbypro]

I was eyeing the watch 4 for a while, but the watch 5 was really close to launch when I eventually wanted to buy one. Once I discovered the watch 5 wouldn't have a classic variant, that basically sold me on the 46mm watch 4 classic. The mechanical bezel really is the best part of the watch - navigation around the UI is just so much easier with it.

[@MrMega200]

@@Riccorbypro hmmm I used to use a Gear 2 until the battery died fully. Will give credit to Samsung for making the ring durable as I have accidentally got used motor oil leaked onto it without thinking when I was doing the oil change in the first year. With a little use it got back to rotating freely. Unfortunately I had to retire it when I found out that the battery in my AT&T version was made with a different cable than the replacement, which had the same part number... That and other things I experienced with a Samsung phone that I have gone through 4 replacements has made me give up on them.

[@quattro_vp]

haha yeahh, I was thinking of upgrading from my Gear S3 but the Watch 5 has no rotating bezel. If the other comments are to believed and the next gen is to have a bezel, I think that is when I will upgrade

[@Wyndstrom]

That is a BEAUTIFUL little Analog watch Dawid at 2:32 As someone who got the galaxy watch 4 with my s22 ultra, I can safely say I never wore it outside the time I pretended to go to the gym. I always revert to my analogs just because they tell me the time more efficiently and I don't have to worry about charging them daily.

[@Khaostheory1980]

The Galaxy Watch 5 lasts around three days before needing a charge and if you put it in just watch mode only (so the same as an analogue) it lasts over a month.

[@An-T-onyoutube]

@@Khaostheory1980 I know, even mine lasts 3 days easy. but my Analogs last months to years, and I need a watch daily (out of habit) to tell the time whenever I look at my wrist, so yeah.. It's not even a competition as to what a "watch" is in my case. 😇

It seems that fake electronics, especially ones with fairly consistent form factors, are usually previous generation tech repacked into a new body and forced to run newer or knockoff software. Kind of like with the AliExpress graphics cards that are 660s coerced to say they're 2060s. I'd be interested to see a comparison of the guts of these to one of the early Apple watches to see if someone just didn't get a bunch of old watch guts and stick them in a new case.

[@dreibel]

Do these knockoffs of Apple Watches even claim to have the Health function of real ones? Like how well does it track physical activity, can it measure heartbeat, blood oxygen? I use my Watch 6 for keeping track of my walking and heart rate, in fact when I had my heart attack two years ago I was able to keep track of my heart rate while I was waiting in emergency, and it will warn you if your heartbeat is erratic or accelerated. I would never trust one of these with my well-being, they,re really there to act as arm candy. Glad you did this video.

[@cheesethesylv]

Pretty much if you do a bit of research then yeah they do exist. I own H10 Pro which is a Series replica. Does it job well enough for me and for the low price of $25 it does have an real heart rate sensor.

[@demontekdigital1704]

I have one of those L8star "fitness" watches, and it works ok for what it is, but the app sucks, and the watch does only basic stuff. The idea of having to recharge those things every few days pissed me off enough to go back to a good ol' traditional watch because I never want to have to say, "crap, I didn't charge my watch so I can't wear it." The one I wear is one of those Armitron jobs with the digital + analog. My only real beef with it is depending on when you look at the date, or digital time, the arms get in the way, and you can't see them. Then I have to go into kindergartner mode like, "Ok, so the big hand does what now?" 🤣🤣

[@whynot9694]

I reside in China and have used the watches. First off it’s so simple to get out the app (stopwatch) 😅😅 you just slide on the screen and you’ll be out of the app. No need to let the battery run out ( 30days waiting😂😂😂😂😂) 7:37 so technically the watch can be deemed “useless” for a person not residing on mainland but it’s pretty useful , even with the Wearfit app data synchronization is actually pretty decent. Considering you can even do sports(laps,run) with people in your province. Maps works etc . Not hating btw just sharing

[@milentiusgaming]

and for approx. the same price as the crapple watches you got you can just get a cheap smart watch which often just seem to work ok, like the "Kogan" watch seems pretty decent, its not a apple watch comparison but it's a working specimen and as far as ive been told its pretty good for a cheap smart watch lol!

[@manipularsilver]

I went from being a Pebble kickstarter and using custom notifications and all that to getting like a $70 Chinese "Amazfit" and I'm shockingly happy with it, though I don't trust the step counter or heartrate or weather or things like that, it does a fine job sending me notifications and telling me the time. Great video.

[@charlesfranks1902]

If you use the heartrate monitor, will you get surprised with a $20K hospital bill when it doesn't work properly?

[@manipularsilver]

@@charlesfranks1902 I'm Canadian so no, the visit will be free. However, mine will give a high heartrate warning even when I'm not wearing it.

[@justsumguy2u]

Question: how long do y'all's smart watch battery last? I heard 1-2 days is the norm is that true? I have 2 Xiaomi watches one lasts 14 days and the other for over a month

[@rustler08]

Usually about a day, the Ultra can last a second day if you don't use it excessively. If you forget to charge them, you're going to have a dead watch sometime during the next day in most cases. It's kind of amusing, I bought a stainless steel Series 4 the day the Series 5 came out for a massive discount (specifically because I wanted the sapphire to prevent scratches). It took a couple months before I basically stopped wearing it. I still have it, and it still works just fine, but I just don't care enough to use it due to the negatives. The main problem is that it's just not useful enough for me to have a second device that I need to charge every day. I will probably start looking at them seriously when we get an Apple Watch with a minimum of 72 hours of battery life.

[@xxxxtripxxxxOSG]

I went with a Garmin watch because I didn't want to have to worry about charging yet another device every day. It is a Forerunner and it lasts 7 days or more. Granted, it does not have near the "smart watch" capabilities that some have, but I can answer calls, read texts, send quick replies, and control audio. But it has a lot more fitness capabilities, which is my main reason for having one anyway.
