I do love my gadgets and have decided to look into getting my first Android smart watch!

Has anyone got any experience of either the Galaxy Watch or the Ticwatch Pro as these are the two models that seem to be well reviewed lately?

Thanks...
 
If it sways your decision the ticwatch pro is currently at £185 on the rainforest, limited time deal.

I don't think tizen has same choice of apps, but the samsung hardware is probably better. But £100+ better?
 
In the same dilemma... would prefer Google pay over Samsung...

Wonder if it's worth hanging out for a black Friday deal on the ticwatch
 
Just grabbed a Ticwatch Pro from the lightening deal, at least if it turns out to be rubbish Amazon are good with returns.

Let us know what you think of the Ticwatch Pro after using it. I'm looking to change from my Sony Smartwatch 3 and the Ticwatch is the only thing that's sparked my interest. I'm just loking for a reasonable price and an android wear watch.

had it and found it laggy and crap to use compared to my gear s3.

sent it back after a week!
 
Wow, kept an eye on this thread for a week with no replies and all of a sudden all this! :)

I ended up going for the 42mm Galaxy Watch in black and I have to say I love it so far!

The volume of watch faces is incredible and while the battery life isn't great, it really doesn't matter to me because I charge it every night!

Happy to answer any questions if anyone is looking at this one?

How good/bad is the battery life?
Are you using for music control or contactless payments?
 
The battery life is OK - only had it a few days and ive typically had circa 50% battery left at the end of the day - this is with the display always on and installing and trying out new watch faces and apps!

I was tempted with the 46mm with the bigger battery but preferred the look of the 42mm in black as opposed to the bigger silver one!

I'd imagine you could comfortably get 2-3 days use if you had to but as I said, I charge every night anyway!

I'm not a big listener to music so havent used it to control any players and so far haven't seen the need to use it for contactless payments so can't comment on those I'm afraid!
 
My Gear S3 lasts 3 days. I use it to skip tracks, check time and make the odd payment. Quite a few whatsapp and email notifications too, just to avoid pulling my phone out.
