jace1969 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I just have a normal day-to-day watch but do a lot on here have smart watches linked to their phone. I would need a good battery life and would have it mainly for notifications from my phone and also not mad prices,i see a lot of nurses/cares have them who come round. I'm using a Galaxy S10.

Jonro2009 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I've got the Samsung Galaxy Watch 42mm, it's excellent. About a 4day battery and you can make and receive calls as well as recieving and responding to messages. All the alarms come via the watch too.I didn't like the original strap so got a new metal one and it looks brilliant nowSent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its not the Active one just the Galaxy 42mm. Did also look at the Fitbit versa 2 as there not a bad price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Not sure about eBay or amazon as I haven't got those notifications turned on. The S10 won't charge it, it has a dedicated chargerSent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now wireless charge as it says the galaxy active 42mm has Qi wireless as some come with the charger Is this like the one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Watch-42mm-Midnight-Black/dp/B07GBFFF9K/ref=sr_1_3?crid=17KYPZUMX19D4&keywords=galaxy+watch+42mm&qid=1584445303&sprefix=galaxy+watch%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-3&swrs=542A1EA82BFDFBD96B84EC170787D414 And also are these Fitbit ones any good.

jace1969 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just to see if i get into it im going to try a £36 one off amazon on offer and seems good and over 1000 reviews with touching 5 stars and good 7+day battery. Looked at reviews on YouTube and shows you it with very good review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just realised it is the 46mm Samsung Watch, not the active one I've got. Just been online to check and when o bought mine I only paid £199 for it, they have fairly shot up in price!I love mine, I traded 'up' from a gear fit pro and this is obviously streets ahead. If you can find a watch that does the same as the galaxy watch then go for it. This one is waterproof and has a mode to get any droplets out of the watch by using sound waves. I've got a metal link V-moro strap on mine now so it looks more like a 'dress watch' which suits my job better lolSent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the Fitbit versa 2 being only £100 area and only thing it mainly lacks is GPS which i would go through phone but did want a selection of apps if possible to mess with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 My S3 Frontier-I changed the rubber strap out for a military webbing type as I find them far more comfortable and hardwearing.Combined with a bezel ring for added screen protection and a case skin to stop scratches and dings.Full app notifications, Alexa access and plenty of different faces to make the watch as personalised as I wish.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The Galaxy watch is a pretty expensive option when looking for a smart watch, but I thought it was worth it. I'm not sure if it is compatible with Alexa but I would imagine it is, it's got Bixby. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZT6H8N7/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_VaFCEb9VVH6S6Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jace1969 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Smart watches is all new to me so leaning and slowly getting into it. Spoke to Samsung on online chat just to see if the watch is Genuine and u.k and how old etc. The watch was new the start of November 2019 so only 5 months old and said it is a u.k one and i don't need the receipt just the watch and box with serial but im getting receipt sent. These have 2 years cover so still over 18months left so say 18months as for a few weeks but the thing i didn't know is the New Samsung watch which is this one in not called a frontier or a gear 3 its just called......... Samsung Galaxy watch 42mm or 46mm there is no name as she said they combined the frontier and gear3 into the ...42/46mm watch and she new that off the serial number and date when new as it just came up Samsung Galaxy 46mm so i think i have had a good deal putting it together as being only just over 5 months old and going for around £299 new like amazon or other places a bit less not that bad....................Just a bit of info on the watches in general. battery so far aint that bad,been messing loads yesterday setting up from 10.30 and up to now on 48% so if i can get today/night its been 2 full days with a lot of messing so i say 4 days.

Milkman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have a Sony Smartwatch 2, I can sum it up in one word, gimmick. I know things have moved on a bit and they've changed a fair bit but they are still a gimmick. Anyone want to buy a Sony Smartwatch 2?

I only had one because we have carers round now as I'm 24/7 carer and loads have the Fitbit versa 2 and it was so helpful if phone rang or messages as they just look at the watch and that would help me a lot in the house like downstairs or sorting dad out,just a toy but this is amazing thing and if it helps it's a good toy for me lol. I either got e45 on my hands or there wet or got gloves on for Hygiene so i can't always pick up the phone.
