First time getting a smartwatch here so don't have any experience on what I really need.
Currently using a samsung phone so the apple watch is a out of the list. I have did some research on smartwatches and it came down to samsung and the skagen falster 2 which I love the minimalist look.
My justification for the gear sport was because in my country I could get it for almost half the price of the galaxy watch with like 75% of the features of galaxy watch. Plus I'm having trouble cause there aren't a lot comparisons made between these 2.
Btw, here's what I kinda care about:
Preferably an Always on display
A nice design (like the skagen falster)
Good battery life (at least 1 day with Aod)
And these are not a priority but nice to have:
On board storage to store and play music
Rotating bezel, or rotating side button
Samsung pay (my country does not support others yet)
Fitness tracking (not a sporty guy)
Sleep tracking (probably charging the watch at night)
Receive calls
Water resistance
Reasonable price (not much higher than the apple watch)
Any other suggestions would be nice but the gear sport and galaxy watch are my choices, the skagen falster is nice as well but its running the older chip but then again not sure that the newer chip makes a huge difference imo. Or should I just wait.
