Samsung Galaxy Watch Review - Full Bloom

Samsung may not necessarily be the fiercest Apple rival in the smartwatch market, as this spot is reserved to Fitbit and Xiaomi, but the South Koreans certainly have huge ambitions in this regard.

The Galaxy Watch, which is actually a fancier name for the device previously known as Galaxy Gear S, is Samsung’s very own Apple Watch competitor, which the company hopes could spearhead its push in the wearables market.

With a new name and upgrades in those areas that matter the most, the Galaxy Watch marks the fourth-generation Samsung smartwatch, promising long battery life, a secure operating system, lots of apps, and a high-quality build that can truly rival Apple’s.

At first glance, the Galaxy Watch promises to impress you by focusing on those areas that are the most important for everyday wearers.

For me, the Apple Watch has never reached its full potential, mostly because it never looked like a classic watch per se. No matter how hard I tried, smartwatches have ... (read more)

Ticwatch Pro Review – Sub Rosa Smartwatch

If you clicked this review, you either know what Tickwatch is or you’re simply interested in smartwatches and just want to know everything about the devices that are currently up for grabs. No matter the case, there’s a lot to discover in this review because [spoiler alert] the Ticwatch Pro is quite a capable smartwatch that comes with features you totally didn’t expect at this price point.

Amazfit Bip Review - Second-Banana Apple Watch

Smartwatches have evolved substantially in the last few years, and despite the criticism this new industry had to deal with when the first models hit the shelves, more and more people discover the advantages of having a smart device on their wrist. Smartwatches are everywhere you look these days. I’m wearing one right now as I’m writing this review, most of my colleagues have one, and sales are continuously going up every year as further companies enter the market. One of the most recent players in the smartwatch battle is Amazfit, a brand that doesn’t say much too many, but which comes with products that are impressive in one key regard: the price. Smartwatches sold under the Amazfit brand are incredibly affordable, with devices that promise no compromises available for less than $100. This is surprising, to say the least, especially because the top smartwatches right now cost at least a couple hundred dollars. First of all, who is Amazfit? In just a few words, ... ( read more...

Garmin fenix 5S Review - El Presidente

Garmin is historically a company that’s been all about fitness and activity tracking, so when buying one of its devices, you pretty much know what to expect. The recently-released fenix 5 series makes absolutely no exception to the rule and puts the focus entirely on fitness, but without forgetting features that are important to buyers today, including smartwatch capabilities when connected to a smartphone. This is something that the majority of wearable manufacturers tried to obtain, though it’s been proved that mixing smartwatch and activity tracking features isn’t always the easiest thing to do. In most of the cases, devices end up making a smaller or bigger compromise, lacking functionality exactly in those places where users expect the least. The Garmin fenix 5, however, has been clearly designed with activity tracking in mind, and to better tackle the needs of customers, the company designed three different models with a little something for everyone.
