What is the best alternative to Samsung Gear S2 3G?
Pro Works well with iPhone
Health apps downloaded on iPhone can be integrated with Apple Watch
Con Expensive
Apple Watch is said to cost $349 USD.
Con Works only with iPhones
You need to have an iPhone (5 or later) to pair this smartwatch. It will not work with any other device, and has limited capabilities on its own (and still require the iPhone for the initial setup).
Pro Gives you a lot of options for customizing different types of workouts
The "Sport Profile" feature allows you to customize what stats you want to see for each type of exercise. For example, you may want the GPS on for running but not for a circuit workout. These preset profiles save you from having to set up the device each time you exercise.
Pro Gives you custom activity goals suitable for your level
The daily activity goal is a good way to find out how active you really are in your everyday life. Here you can choose your typical activity level from three options and see how active you need to be to reach your daily activity goal. The time you need to complete your daily activity goal depends...
Pro Detailed reports
The fitness tracker offers excellent reporting including distance, speed, cadence, heart rate (if paired with monitor), ascent, decent, calories, recovery status, and more.
Con Sleep tracking lacks detail and accuracy
If you are awake for an extended period of time in the middle of the night and then fall back asleep, the fitness tracker may not see the additional hours as part of your sleep.
Con Unattractive and bulky design
The tracker is quite wide and hard to miss, it's not something that can blend in with what you're wearing outside of sport/exercise type settings.
Con Short battery life when using the GPS
With the GPS turned on, battery life goes from around 24 days to 9 hours. This is likely fine for people who will always have opportunities to charge it after their run. However for anyone hoping to use the GPS for longer activities, such as hiking, that may not be long enough to be useful.
Pro Allows making contactless payments
Built-in NFC connectivity allows making contactless payments via the watch.
Pro Good build quality
The watch has a solid metal body with a clasp-based band.
Pro Water and dust resistant
The product is IP67 certified. The certification guarantees that the product can be submerged up to a meteer in water at room temperature for up to 30 minutes.
Con Non-removable leather strap
The strap includes antennas that are required for LTE capabilities and LG's proprietary NFC payment solution and as such are non-removable.
Con Confusing interface
The interface takes some getting used to as apart from dedicated home and settings buttons, the navigation feels random - sometimes swipes don't work where you'd expect them to work, sometimes cycling doesn't work where you'd expect it to work.
Con Designed to be paired with a smartphone
While the watch can work fine on its own, certain apps and functionality work better when the watch is paired with a phone.
Pro Ambient light sensor allows automatically adjusting brightness
The Moto 360 includes an ambient light sensor that helps automatically adjust screen's brightness based on how light or dark are your surroundings.
Pro Moto 360 has multiple, good-looking watchfaces to choose from that can be customized further
The smartwatch has a good selection of high-quality, elegant watchfaces. Additionally, Moto's app Connect allows changing background and color of different elements for these watchfaces (with some of them having additional, watchface-specific options).
Con The display is not completely round
A small part at the bottom of the display is missing for it to be completely circular.
Pro It doubles as a great general-use fitness tracker
Not only is this watch useful for running, you can leave it on for the whole day and it will monitor your sleep, give recommendations on training intensity as well as recovery, and keep your heart rate in check. With GPS off, it can work for 20 days, so you'll only have to take it off twice a m...
Pro It can track a variety of activities
Although this watch is targeted primarily at runners, you can also use it for biking, swimming, strength training, and many other indoor and outdoor activities that you can choose in the Polar app.
Pro The price is very competitve
This watch offers great value for the money - usually, you have to be ready to pay $300 and more for a decent sports watch, but M430 does the same job and costs around $200.
Con The software is somewhat limited
You are basically stuck with only three watch faces, which limits your ability to customize the watch for your particular needs and preferences.
Con You'll have to rely solely on GPS for tracking
Overall, the tracking works well, but it would be much more reliable if the watch also had Glonass capabilities, in case you lose GPS signal.
Con No music playback
This watch can neither store any music or control the playback from your phone.
Pro Wake up feature
Monitors your sleep and wakes you up within a specific time when your not in deep REM.
Pro Water Proof
Excellent for people who swim a lot.
Pro Long lived battery life.
The battery life is amazing almost 2 weeks and it is at 50%
Con Glass is not scratch resistance to keys.
Easy solution is to put either your watch on your other arm, or your keys in the opposite pocket.
