I currently have a Huawei gt2 pro.
Looking at the deals, everything is galaxy, Huawei, pixel or apple.
I love the design of galaxy and Huawei and battery life or Huawei. Both are overkill for my needs, I guess you could argue galaxy are native android but you lose some functions and I don't like using hacks to make Huawei work on android. I don't want apple phone as I'm on android. Pixel is way to low battery life and just plain ugly. + All the above are way too expensive for what I need.
All I want is NFC - step tracking - basic heart rate etc and sleep monitor. A battery that lasts days not hours.
Without needing a subscription or hacks to make it work, something that will share data or report natively to Google fit. That doesn't cost £500
Surely this exists somewhere?
Don't even care what format - watch - band - ring - badge I stick on my forehead. Just need those simple things, but can't find them!
All help appreciated.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52564812","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"MonkeysUncle"},"datePublished":"2024-04-12T09:10:24.000Z","text":"I have the gt2e and in a similar position.
Strangely the price of the Huawei GT range has gone up on price rather than down over the years.
I paid £50 for mine and if I wanted one now it'd be about £100.
So far I have narrowed it down to the Garmin Venu sq as it looks like it has everything I need. Most importantly that battery life.
Charging every day is just a joke, no way id buy a watch you have to charge daily."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52564842","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Yolofknell"},"datePublished":"2024-04-12T09:13:55.000Z","text":"Why not get the Samsung Galaxy 6 watch, there are loads for sale that are brand new on certain websites.

Their Ticwatch 3 Pro history is their red flag - took them 12 months after Google WearOS 2.0 passed end-of-life to publish the WearOS 3.0 update (during which time Google functions ceased to work), and what now exists of the WearOS 3.0 release is a buggy mess in which battery life has dropped from around 3 days to around 10 hours."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52570302","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Deleted041071960810"},"datePublished":"2024-04-13T07:45:06.000Z","text":"I think the sticking point is NFC in OP's requirements list - without that, there are plenty of watches which would fit the bill."}],"commentCount":8,"interactionStatistic":4,"articleSection":"Ask"}
