What Galaxy Watch to buy?
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is the best Samsung smartwatch you can buy today. Unlike the 40mm and 44mm standard Galaxy Watch 8 models, the Classic lasted for 40 hours per charge on average in my testing, compared to 30 hours for the others. The main difference between the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch 8 is found in the processor. The 9’s processor is knows as the S9 SiP or system-in-package. This processor chip, responsible for running the smartwatch’s internal computer, should give you a noticable increase in performance.The Apple Watch Series 9’s display gets wayyyy brighter than the 8. Its peak brightness of 2,000 nits is double that of the Series 8 model, making it easier to use in direct sunlight. And it is very vibrant. There isn’t a better smartwatch display out there.Apple Watch Series 8 With the Series 8, Apple introduced the S8 chip, offering better performance compared to the Series 7. However, the improvement was relatively modest, focusing on small gains in processing power and battery efficiency.
Which is better, Galaxy Watch 7 or Ultra?
The Galaxy Watch 7 and the Ultra have essentially the same features, so the Watch 7 is much better value at almost half the price. The only big differences that mattered to me were the battery capacity, screen size and durability. The Samsung Watch 7 offers slightly longer battery life and more detailed health tracking features, but the Apple Watch SE is also very accurate and integrates seamlessly with iOS devices. For everyday fitness needs, both perform well, but Samsung might edge out for users who value battery longevity.Price. The Galaxy Watch 8 costs $50 more than the Galaxy Watch 7. The Watch 8 starts at $349. Bluetooth-only 40mm version, while the Watch 7 starts at $299.
