NO HYPE! Galaxy Watch 4 vs TicWatch E3 Is Wear OS 3 really THAT much better?!? *UNSPONSORED*

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

So it turns out I wasn't actually getting real blood pressure readings from the GW4 because this feature has not yet been approved in the US! Just be aware that, at least for now, you can't use this feature if you're located in the US. :-/ screenrant.com/galaxy-watch-4-blood-pressure-us-availability/

I just found your video doing a wear os search. I see your not a fulltime uploader but your content quality is dead on. Whe nit comes to reviews in such its all about how the person speaks, delivery, posture, demeanor, etc. Thats why I can appreciate your content. Maybe you should think about a weekly video maybe

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Thanks for the kinds words, Josh! Seriously. I'd love to do a weekly schedule, but it's tough to manage with my 'real' job. In any case, I'll endeavor to do them as frequently as I'm able. :)

[@AndrewSmoot]

I got the TicWatch E3 because that's what was paired with the SmartDrive I bought for my new wheelchair, so far it does exactly what I need it to do, so, I can't complain.

[@chitrarth]

No one says it out loud, E3 has LCD display, which means no always on display and inferior colours and battery life

[@weekendwarrior8179]

I'm using the classic 4 and have used the tic watch pro 3... The hardware on gs4 is much higher quality... But the battery/software is higher on TCPro3. But wear os 2/3 has way too many bugs.

[@Desert371]

Both assistants seem to be made for different tasks. Google Assistant provides you with information but Bixby is your voice control for your system.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Yeah I think that's a fair statement. I guess my personal preference is more for the information queries than voice control, for the most part. But I might warm up to the voice control options eventually.

Hello, can you please compare the speed of " Samsung Internet" app between these 2 watches?

[@riemikes]

You can connect both watches to their own wearable apps. They are actually running independent. The galaxy watch 4 is connecting with the Wearable app. And ticwatch the Google Wear OS. Big difference in term of experience. Galaxy watch is just like running Tizen with the ability to download more apps from plays store. And E3 is running 100% Wear OS 2.3 which is still lag and have problems with Google assistant. Personally, I prefer this new galaxy hook up with Google. Everything is running much smoother than previous generation galaxy watches. For the price of $275. It's no brainer to pick the galaxy watch 4 , 44mm with the free wireless charger.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Yeah I think we're mostly in agreement. No question the Galaxy Watch 4 is the superior piece of tech. But I'll still say that (especially since the TicWatch E3 will get the Wear OS update in 2022) the E3 is still a lot of watch for the price. And even though it still ships with Wear OS 2.3, I found it to be a reliably smooth performer and would be a good option for someone who would rather not spend the extra $100 for the GW4.

@@ReeWrayOutdoors how Is the battery on it??won't thr assistant talk back to you ?? So will I get wear os 4 for e3??

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

@@akshay5569 I think the battery life on the the GW4 is slightly better than on the E3, but the difference is not really significant, in my opinion. The Bixby assistant is still what you have to use on the GW4 (doesn't yet have Google Assistant), and Bixby does reply audibly in most queries, much the same was Google Assistant does - only Google does offer more functionality overall than Bixby. The E3 will get Wear OS 4 sometime in 2022, according to Mobvoi, but no official release date has been announced for that that I'm aware of.

[@randyb3576]

@@akshay5569 Don’t rule out the GW g1 for a battery life of 4-5 days. It’s a bit bulky but will definitely last over a year. Otherwise get the slimmer GW3 as it has the rotating bezel too. Tizen doesn’t require much tinkering. GW3 ~ $140.00 used. Get it sold by Amazon Warehouse.

In case of sensor accuracy test which is better Galaxy watch 4 or Tic watch pro ultra?

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

I think it's hard to say one way or the other without using some medical grade devices for baseline comparison. In general, I'm more concerned about consistency than absolute precision and at least in that regard, I find both watches provide consistent data (TicWatch E3 anyway...haven't personally tested the Pro Ultra).

[@Summersaz]

I just got the e3 for £139 on amazon. Not very feminine, but hopefully I can swap out the straps to fix that. Took me weeks to find a watch that does what I'd like it to.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Yeah the E3 is a great piece of hardware. I hope it works out for you!

[@user-trospe]

Actually right now in my country Galaxy 4 (44mm) is the cheapest wear os option! From 135€ vs e3 170€ vs c2+ 160€ The Pixel watch starts from 380€ . So I am between Galaxy 4 or buying a not wear os all together 😆. Seriously. A non Wear os watch comes with its own app and then need permission to connect to Google Fit app. So it's the above Wear os devices ! Anything that works seamlessly with my pixel 6 would be great to know though

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

I've had the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro now for about a month and may do a review on that. I do love the battery life, but it's expensive. The deals on the Watch 4 are extremely good now, as you point out. I really worry about the battery life performance on the Pixel Watch - not looking like it's going to be all that good in that regard...but maybe?! Has a large bezel as well. :-/ But maybe the thin profile will make up for it?

[@user-trospe]

@@ReeWrayOutdoors it looks nice and more premium than watch 4/5 but wait see some reviews to see how its battery life is (i think should be comparable to g5)? I plan to buy a cheaper for now so i wonder if watch 4 would be good choise because i see many complaints sync with non Samsung phones...that being said that shoyld be an other advantage of Pixel watch which should be working seamlesless with Pixel Smartphone :) ****some pixel feauters need fitbit app !

[@HifiCentret]

I don't believe the extremely tiny weight difference really make a difference. What however means a whole lot of difference is size and fit and that looks better on the Samsung.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Yeah, I'd agree. The thinner profile and more rounded sensor panel make the Samsung GW4 just a bit more comfortable. The couple of grams saved is just a bonus.

[@benjaminandrade9992]

Nice Video!!!

[@jeffedwards6920]

Your battery life results are NOT typical with anything CLOSE to moderate use. It's with almost NO use whatsoever. Why would I say this? Because you claim 3.5 days of battery life which is longer than even Samsung claims. Same with the TicWatch - which I believe has a marginally larger battery. 3 days is only possible with little to no real-world use. Again, that is what Mobvoi says about their own product. Maybe your definition of lite- to-moderate use is way different than the norm...? Either way, I really enjoyed your in-depth review.

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

Jeff, you're completely correct. In hindsight, I wish I'd have worded it something like "very light use and you might squeeze out about 3 days".

[@michaelshelnutt1779]

I am barely getting 17 hours out of the GW4 with light usage - I recharge every night - start at 5AM - and by 9PM its down to 35% - so I am curious what the heck I am doing wrong

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

First, I'd make sure that the Always On Display mode is off. Next, I'd open the Samsung Health app on the watch and scroll down to Settings. Then go into Measurements and make sure you don't have a bunch of stuff set to Continuous. That stuff can consume a lot of battery when enabled.

My Smart watch research - market is filled with JUNK! TicWatch seems to be getting closer to offering a real challenge. But right now it is Samsung Watch for android and Apple watch for iOS. Can use apple watch on android and can't use galaxy watch or Goggles Wear OS on anything but Android. Garmin runs it's own OS with it's own play store and it is expensive. Pixel watch runs 3 year old processor and has LOTS of issues and it is expensive. Amazfit has poor integration and lots of bugs. Fossil watches have TONS of problems. Garmin is over priced and so is Fitbit Charge 5 - crazy problems. Also, newer versions are being crippled - can no longer play offline music or install Spotify! Can't even control music on your phone from the watch - Play, stop, skip, etc. Never seen such bad and expensive products as smartwatches!
