Apple watch like thing for Android

[Billy_Mays]

I'm making the switch to Android next month because of me being a tech tuber and want something for not taking my phone out as much and for a camera that I'll have in my room so I know when my brother comes into my room and takes stuff and the expanable storage is one of the reason of my switch and better resolution

Most of Android's wearables are garbage, but I can recommend a Pebble Time (company went under), Fossil smartwatch, or Samsung watch (take your pick).

ehh tbh Android Wear isn't that great or developed 

 

What phone do you have right now?

Expandable storage, better resolutions, dont have to wait two gens to pay to get a decent phone, less expensive cables

Pebble Time. Android Wear has been on the decline as less users have been adopting it. 

The one that I'm currently using with the Note 5.

Meanwhile, Apple has still been selling Apple Watches with regular updates to the software on both devices.

You mean like 1440p? Because you know that's just a buzz stat that they put on phones. At like 5.5" inches and lower there's little to no benefit with getting 1440p. 

 

but your other reasons are valid I guess.

Expandable storage,

Aside from a wireless HDD, I'm using a SanDisk wireless USB (64GB) for my iPhone SE.

 

And I really, REALLY hope you mean the camera and not the screen.

Must be the sheep, not that the Apple Watch is actually a cool product

I've never used a  1080p display for anything (except console gaming from 4' away)

sure if you hold them up side by side. But even Linus agrees with me here.

Could be, but at least the Apple Watch can text people back rather than rely on hundreds of premade (by the user) choices. 

 

Seriously, one of my replies is "I'll meet you for a burger at Clubhouse Cafe at 1PM".

Well the Plus model iPhones have had 1080p for a few years, but if price is the problem then yeah you'll have to go android.

Scribble, Dictation, and quick reply is pretty amazing on the Apple Watch. 

 

Scribble is my favorite. And the best part is basically every 3rd party messaging app supports rich notifications and therefore Apple Watch replies.

I do as well, but never once have I gone "man this 1080p screen is so blurry I cant read my 2pt text" because 401ppi is still sharp as hell. 

 

sure 534ppi is > 401, but you already hit the wall of diminishing returns long ago

i guess, still, i phone 7 plus screen is decent but not the best, i personally like 1440p  Amoled screens better.
