Buying an Android Watch? Read This

An android watch can be a great companion especially if you are a fitness freak. And a lot of developers including the OS developers have been focusing on easy to integrate apps. Even recently Google rolled out the newest version of its Wear OS smartwatch operating system.

But there is a downfall that will be a big hurdle in the wearable gadget industry. Let me give you a Hint “Its battery life”.

Android Watch Main Problems

The new Wear OS smartwatch operating system supports a lot of updates. Such as an updated interface, a Google Assistant feed, and faster access to fitness features. But the most critical feature of the new Wear OS is its battery life improvements. 

These will only be available in the newer batch of Wear OS smartwatches that have Qualcomm’s new 3100 processor. At a press briefing in August, Qualcomm explained that the new processor would shift a number of operations to a more power-efficient co-processor, helping to prolong battery life.

Samsung Galaxy Watch, which runs the Tizen OS, is the only smartwatch that offers the best battery life with positive reviews from a lot of users. With people also reporting to get about four days of battery life out of the Galaxy Watch.

This milage far surpasses that of other smartwatches. But this is only due to a  large 472mAh battery, but even the smaller 42mm model will last up to three days.

The second reason is that, when you have to charge the watch at night, you can’t wear it to track your sleep. Which has become a pretty significant part of most fitness trackers and is a key aspect of measuring your overall health.

But let’s hope that the addition of the new Qualcomm chip adds to the battery life as expected. Do tell us about your experience in the comments section below.
