BATTERY:


CONCLUSION
Fitbit on board - better for weight loss
Galaxy Health is better for more advanced workouts and athletes

more premium metal on the pixel, but a tougher display and more protection on the Galaxy

Deeper Google integration on the Pixel, but deep Samsung integration on Galaxy

Galaxy has standard straps, digital bezel, lots of hidden features, and a lower price with no paywalls

$349 vs $280

If you are a value hunter, the Galaxy Watch 5 is a no brainer, but the Google experience can be hard to quantify and I wouldn’t underestimate the Pixel Watch experience.


This Pixel watch was sent to me at no cost. This did not affect my review in any way.
