I’m thinking about making a return from Garmin in the near future with Samsung announcing the Galaxy Watch 6 making a return with the ever-so-popular rotating bezel, and Google is now focused on their own Pixel Watch. For people who are currently using a WearOS device, what are your thoughts on the current state of the platform as a smartwatch and fitness tracker as of mid 2023?

    Funny, i just went the reverse way, from mi-band to wearOS. I’ve got one of those two screen devices (LCD and OLED) and most of the day, it uses the LCD. Three days is my battery life. Which is ok by my standards. I mainly changed over for the screen size of the notifications and the ability to see the time instantly. Got it second hand, it was much cheaper than new and the state was really good.

      What do you mean by being able to see the time instantly?

      My miband has an always on OLED display (if you want it) or the ability to have lift to wake with all of the different delays and sensitivities.

      If anything, I’d say my miband shows the time quicker. My watch is also LED, not OLED, which is a bummer.
