Samsung's latest smartwatches feature popular Google apps like Assistant, Maps, and the Play Store, alongside Samsung's Bixby, Buds Controller, Pay, and more. The Pixel Watch features all the Google standbys, including Assistant, Gmail, Home, Maps, the Play Store, and Wallet. To get a longer smartwatch battery life (as much as 7 days), you can turn on a power-saving mode, which stops the watch from charging the buds every time they’re put away. Huawei does offer pretty rapid charging for the buds as well when they are running low, so it has thought of solutions to make up for the fact that you’re not going to get the usual 14 days.

The watch is compatible with the many faces designed for the Watch GT 3 and GT 3 Pro, but also has a series of exclusive faces that integrate the functions related to the headphones with which you can directly access the noise canceling controls and headphone equalization settings. Such a compact size makes the battery capacity suffer. In the absence of further testing in our analysis, the brand promises 4 hours of use for headphones without noise cancellation activated, and 3 hours activated. For its part, the watch offers a 3-day autonomy and has a saving mode that deactivates the charging of the headphones, giving priority to the smartwatch for use during 7 days. It also offers Multi-Sport Modes & Connected GPS: 14 exercise modes help you better understand specific activity data; Connect the GPS on your cell phone can show run stats like pace and distance and record a map of your workout route. The Apple Watch Series 9 offers a broad suite of built-in lifestyle, fitness, health, and safety tools, plus the best selection of third-party apps for any smartwatch. The newest version features an impressively bright 2,000-nit display (up from 1,000 nits last generation) for improved outdoor visibility without an impact on battery life. Its new S9 SiC chip enables even more features, like on-device Siri processing, precise directional device finding with the iPhone 15 family, and a double-tap gesture for one-handed operation. With these upgrades, the Series 9 remains the best iPhone-compatible smartwatch for most buyers. Who It's For

Garmin Lily

It provides a 30m Working range of Bluetooth Wireless Connection, and is equipped with the latest Bluetooth technology. Built-in HD speaker with advanced control chip to ensure HD sound quality, offers your excellent experience of Calling. You also can enjoy Music by V08 at home or in office. Easy to activate Siri (or Google voice assistant) while driving or working. All Apple Watch models run watchOS, Apple's smartwatch operating system, and work only with iOS devices. Apple's latest wearables—the Series 9, the Ultra 2, and the Watch SE— require an iPhone XS or later with iOS 17 or later and do not work with Android handsets. We also looked at how easy it was to upload music onto the headphones, and at the sound quality of the music when in the water. During testing, we played different music and podcasts in the pool to look for the best pair. Similar to how the Apple Watch works only with iPhones, the Galaxy Watch 6 series is exclusive to Android phones. Samsung's latest smartwatches require a device running Android 10 or higher with more than 1.5GB of RAM. Although you can pair the Watch 6 with non-Samsung Android phones, some features, including irregular heart rhythm notifications, phone separation alerts, and the Camera Controller app, work only with handsets of the same brand.

Don’t let the fact that these headphones have the word ‘runner’ in the title put you off from using them for swimming, too. With IPX8 waterproof rating, the Naenka Bone Conduction headphones are fully waterproof and ideal for swimming (as well as running). The good news is that you don’t need to connect each part of the “kit” separately. Both the watch and headphones are connected to your phone at the same time through the Huawei Health app. Both devices are set up in this application. The Apple Watch Series 9 is available in a load of colour options and when it comes to music, it really comes into its own when paired with Apple Music. There are also a large number of colourful face options which are customisable and look great on its ultra-clear display - and everything from colour variations to display functions can be tweaked on the fly. There are no limitations when you use the Pixel Watch 2 with a non-Pixel Android phone. By comparison, some Galaxy Watch 6 features only work only with Samsung handsets. Ultimately, the Galaxy Watch 6 has a slight edge because of its lower price, better battery life, and more durable design, but the Pixel Watch 2 is an excellent, attractive alternative. The headphones last up to four hours on a single charge – not a record, but acceptable for such “babies”. If you turn on ANC, the operating time is reduced to three hours. During conversations – about 2.5 hours without ANC and about 2 hours with noise cancellation.Samsung Samsung watches run the Tizen operating system. Just as Apple Watches are best with an iPhone, you're better off with a Samsung-branded phone here. However, you will find good compatibility with other Android brands. Apps have historically been more limited on Tizen than on Wear OS, although this is slowly improving, with popular apps such as Spotify, Uber and Nest now available. There's some compatibility with iPhones, but some more recent releases, are not compatible. It takes little to no time to pair the devices to the smartphones. As it has Bluetooth 5 technology, the connection is stable. Surprisingly enough, you can control Siri with the smartwatch.
