Both Samsung and Apple are masters when it comes to creating high-profile tech.
Their products are among the most desired in the technology industry. From tablets to mobile devices we have been debating which is the better choice for years and now as we’re in the era of wearable technology the debate continues. If you’ve been considering a smartwatch these are things you need to know about the two watches. There are some features that run as standard across both the Samsung and Apple watches aside from keeping the time. Some of these features vary, depending on the model of watch you choose.
Here are a few of The iOutlet’s favourite features:
- Notifications on the wrist and read messages
- Fitness tracking (calories, exercise minutes, standing)
- Workout tracking
- Heart rate monitoring
- Make contactless payments
- Send text messages and make phone calls
- Sleep tracking
- Ability to set alarms, timers and reminders
- ECG readings
- Wireless charging
- Play and control music
In terms of design, there are clear differences between the two watches in terms of shape and how you access the different features. The Apple watches have a rectangular shape with a small scroll wheel on the side which allows you to control the device. Apple makes it easy to customise your watch with a wide variety of officially licensed straps, as well as third-party straps from hundreds of other manufacturers.
By comparison, the Samsung watches have a more rounded design, some versions have a rotating bezel around the edge whilst newer versions have buttons. In terms of customisation, it is similar to Apple with alternative official straps and third-party straps widely available. Due to the popularity of Apple devices, there are more widely available straps for an Apple Watch however, there are still options to suit everyone if you choose a Samsung watch.
If you are looking to get a smartwatch the easiest decision is to get a watch from the same manufacturer as your smartphone. Choosing the same company enables you to have seamless functionality between the two devices. Your smartphone will also have built-in apps that enable you to easily connect, control and interact with your smartwatch.
