Best Android Wear to buy in 2018?

[Byrese]

I'm new to Android Wear (or would like to be). Recommendations?

I'm currently on my 3rd watch. Began with a Moto 360, then a Huawei watch. I'm now using a Ticwatch E from Mobvoi. I'd have to say the Ticwatch is my favorite. Best price of all of them by far.

"Best" is subjective. What are your criteria? What do you want it to do?

You are right. Hmm...

I'd really like to be more of an extension of my phone (i.e. receive notifications, use andorid pay, etc). I'd also prefer to not have to touch the screen all the time, so some sort of crown would be nice (like on the LG Sport or Style).

However, I use a Fitbit and like to go to the gym. So if I could get some fitness stuff that would be great too. But probably more the former than the latter.

Agreed. I've had the LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch 2 Classic and now the Tichwatch E. The screen alone is worth it over the Huawei Watch 2 Classic.

Let me suggest the Ticwatch E. The price can't be beat for what you get. Google Fit actually has a lot of options even if it isn't close to the best fitness app out there.

That's actually pretty nice. Does it have NFC for Android Pay?

No NFC, unfortunately. It also doesn't have proximity sensor, so screen won't turn off when you cover screen.

Yeah... I'm REALLY thinking about it. Just trying to decide if I want to get this or keep my Fitbit charge 2. Great price though!

It is the near perfect WearOS watch for the price...

Second the Tic E. I have the Huawei Watch 2 Classic as well, but it's probably going back to Amazon.

I've have both but I've gone back to Huawei Watch 2 Classic. Even with the smaller screen, it just seems more fully functioned, especially with recent upgrade to 8.0 and latest WearOS updates. That said, the Ticwatch E is no slouch! Great watch for the money.

I am also a Fitbit fan, but someone mentioned about the Ticwatch, so I just look around the net and read some stuff about that, review, comparison, etc, and when I try to compare Fitbit Charge 2 vs Ticwatch S especially, with that kind of price range ($199), it would be really nice smartwatch, not just a fitness tracker I would say maybe.This won't match up to a dedicated fitness tracker when it comes to its function.

The Ticwatch S features an amazing variety of functions right into a long-lasting package at a cost that's nicely under what you would assume from such an advanced smartwatch. It's customized for the kind of individual who might be trying to find their very first venture in the arena of smartwatches.

Fall in love with Ticwatch lol.

I used to have a Moto 360. I am now using a Fossil Q Explorer Gen 3. love the watch.

Key question. I love my Asus but can't see it at all in bright sun.

I did some research and it is rated very bright but is not Androidwear. I prefer true Androidwear. I love my Asus but I do need a brighter watch at the beach.

I FINALLY bought a watch. I got the original Huawei Watch. In the end the screen is what won me over (both in size and quality). It's got the new 2.0 Oreo update so I'm good there. I'm just hoping for continued support. We'll see how it goes.
