Amazfit Stratos 3 vs Samsung Galaxy Watch vs Ticwatch Pro: Which is Better?
All three watches look decent enough to warrant the high-end tag, these are durable and sturdy smartwatches. Although, the Galaxy Watch with physical rotating bezel is a more sophisticated device. It’s a standalone smartwatch which allows you make and receive calls directly from this device unlike the other two.
It’s also a more comprehensive activity tracker with more fitness tracking features.
However, the Stratos 3 which is also well equipped to comprehensively track your active life has the longest battery life which makes it the best choice for tracking extreme workout activities. It joins the Galaxy watch being swim-proof, but lacks microphone and loudspeaker which is present on the other two, enabling Google voice assistant and Bixby.
The Ticwatch Pro being a Wear OS offers lots of features in addition to more access to your favorite apps. Its FSTN/AMOLED display keeps it going up to 30 days, but that’s only with the FSTN display active which results in deactivation of all Wear OS features. There’s a new model – Ticwatch Pro 4G which is more equipped with more features and standalone capabilities.
VERDICT: Although each of these three is outstanding in design, fitness tracking, features and battery life, the Samsung Galaxy watch being a more comprehensive smartwatch with a more sophisticated design is undoubtedly the best choice.
