[Abstract] The Tizen or Android Wear system is just a factor that determines your purchase of a smart watch. In addition, you must consider design, price, etc. After all, choosing the one that best suits you is the most important.
Tencent Digital (words) to tell the truth, to ask which system is the best smart watch products, in fact, no one can give an accurate answer. Apart from the Apple Watch and watchOS, Apple’s Android Wear and Samsung’s Tizen are also very important components. The two systems provide completely different operating experiences. For users, if you do not want to choose Apple, how do you choose between Android Wear and Tizen?
Now, from the application notification to the product hardware, we have spent a lot of time to experience it, and this will definitely help you decide whether to choose Tizen or the latest Android Wear 2.0 system. If you have such an entanglement, you may wish to take a look with us.
Hardware products
Maybe features and applications will affect your final decision, but it must be the most intuitive hardware products that give you the first impression of the smartwatch platform. In fact, at present, the product styles supporting the two systems are quite different, and both Samsung and other vendors hope to provide the best products for users.
Take a look at the Tizen camp, including all of Samsung's products, of course, including the flagship products such as Gear S3 Frontier and Classic, of course, the previous generation Gear S2.
Of course, we must not forget that the Gear S and even the older Gear S2 and Gear S2 Neo that Samsung launched in 2014 are now upgraded to the Tizen system. Of course, these old products can hardly be bought in the market, but it is not impossible to at least look at the used products.
On the other hand, if you are interested in Android Wear, you can choose more, and vendors are also very rich. Including Motorola's Moto 360 2, Moto 360 Sport (GPS), Huawei Watch and Asus ZenWatch 3. Of course Sony's classic SmartWatch 3 is also on the list of best Android Wear smart watches.
Of course, there are also some products that can be selected from traditional watch manufacturers, such as TAG Heuer Connected and Fossil Q Founder, and they are all involved from luxury watch brands to fashion fast consumer brands. Of course, Casio also introduced the second generation of WSD-F20 outdoor smart watches, as well as New Balance's RunIQ has just come out, and the Polar M600 is positioned more professional products.
And now, the latest two products are undoubtedly the LG Watch Sport and Watch Style, and they are the first smart watches equipped with Google's latest Android Wear 2.0 system.
Overall, if you do not mind, in fact, Samsung Gear S2 is one of our favorites, of course, Gear S3 is also very good. If you want to choose Android Wear, then LG Watch Sport we most recommend.
Fit smart phone
Android Wear system's biggest advantage in adapting smart phones is not only the Android Jelly Bean 4.3+ system, but also supports iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6s, 7 and iOS 8.2 or later versions of the system. Although Android Wear iPhone was previously limited in compatibility, with the advent of the Android Wear 2.0 system, compatibility between iOS and Android Wear 2.0 is now higher.
The Tizen system initially only supported the connection of Samsung smartphones, but now Samsung has also expanded the compatibility range. Supported models include the Android system and iOS system smart phones with iPhone 5 and above. When we evaluated the Gear S3, we found that there are still some minor flaws in the compatibility. Although you can download applications and access the motion tracking feature, the notification processing capacity is still relatively limited.
At present, because we have not experienced the Android Wear 2.0 system for a long time, we have not been able to make detailed judgments on the merits of the two systems. However, at present, both have made great progress in compatibility.
Interface and features
Android Wear system has just ushered in the latest 2.0 version, and Samsung Tizen system has already developed to the 2.3.1 version system.
The Android Wear 2.0 system has undergone earth-shaking changes in the overall interface UI, and supports the direct installation of the App onto smart watches. Although the previous voice operation function was very good, it has now been completely replaced by Google Assistant assistant, just like the Google version of Alexa.
In terms of physical hardware functions, including the traditional crown can be used to interact with the interface, but also can add some small components directly on the clock interface.
There are also models that support the independent use of 3G networks and Wi-Fi connections, so unlike previous connections via Bluetooth. In addition, Android Wear 2.0's built-in Google services are certainly second to none, including maps, voice, and Gmail mail services. At the same time, Android Wear 2.0 now also supports Android Pay and Samsung Pay mobile payment services in some markets.
And my favorite is Tizen system interface, better than Android Wear. This is a simple style (especially compared to Samsung's TouchWiz), plus a border that can be rotated, basically without having us finger pointing on the screen, which is complicated operation with Android Wear or Apple Watch It's a lot simpler than that. Simply put, the Tizen system doesn't need us to think too much about what to do, but for smart watches it's important.
The Tizen system Gear S3 can also be used as a stand-alone device, but Gear S3 is not perfect. In addition to the interface being a bit cartoony, there are still some gaps between some features and Google, especially voice memos are even more disappointing. Of course Tizen's map service is not as noisy as we think. In addition, it is also a blank in the App, and it can be almost ignored.
App
The Tizen and Android Wear apps haven't really left us any deep impression. Android Wear can choose to use more, although there are some good choices, but also to download more in the app store. And now there are even games that can be played directly on the watch.
Perhaps it's because Android Wear smart watches have gradually slowed down in sales in recent years. Few developers are willing to develop apps with more features. However, Android Wear still has many apps with watch interfaces. These customizable clock interfaces have become one of the reasons why many users choose Android Wear.
It should be noted that Android Wear can display almost any App notification from Android smartphones, so if you need to get notifications, then Android Wear is the second screen that best suits you.
While Tizen now has special apps such as Uber, Spotify and Nest, and can be controlled by the rotating frame of Gear S3, Samsung still needs to provide some apps that can support smart home control and SmartThings platform for their smart watches. Popular support.
However, except for a few popular apps, it seems that most developers have not yet acted on the Tizen system. Tizen can also customize the clock interface, but perhaps for smart watches, App is not the key to success.
Health and Sports Tracking
There are many smart watches that support GPS positioning in the Android Wear camp, such as the LG Watch Sport, Polar M600, and the new New Balance RunIQ, as well as the previous Sony SmartWatch 3 and Moto 360 Sport. Among them, Polar is undoubtedly the most representative smart watch that can position Android Wear as a professional sports and fitness tracker.
Android Wear can perform basic step tracking, distance riding, and running monitoring. However, as far as distance and calorie consumption are concerned, further data needs to be synchronized to the smartphone before it can be displayed. Including Adidas, Strava, Withings, Nike+, and RunKeeper.
The Android Wear 2.0 system also adds a series of moving target challenges and independent application installations. For example, Strava can make a smartwatch like the M600 support GPS play a greater role.
The Samsung Gear S3 also has built-in GPS positioning, so Tizen can also be used as an independent motion tracking device. The Tizen system can also implement most of Android Wear's features, including walking, running, and distance tracking. It also includes components like heart rate sensors and barometers. The Gear S3 can now automatically recognize different movements and automatically Counting, including sit-ups, pick-ups, step tests, etc.
Samsung's S Health platform has been continuously improving and upgrading, and it seems to be more suitable for ordinary users than Google Fit. Of course, smart watches on both platforms are constantly improving, but overall Samsung is doing better in this area. Of course, if you care more about third-party fitness apps, Android Wear 2.0 has a long way to go.
to sum up
The Tizen or Android Wear system is just a factor that determines your purchase of a smart watch. In addition, you have to consider design, price, etc. After all, choosing the one that best suits you is the most important.
If you need Google services, or need a specific sensor, then Android Wear can provide more potential and functionality. If you have never used a smart watch before and have an eligible smart watch, it seems that Gear S2 or Gear S3 is more suitable for you.
In addition, in addition to smart watches with display screens, there are many other options that “disguise†into traditional watches. From Fossil to Withings, there are quite good products, so if you don’t like Android Wear or Tizen, it’s too technical. Obvious smart watches, then these smart watches with traditional watch designs are also good choices.
