What features should I focus on before buying a smartwatch? For example, are there general tips about battery life, water resistance levels, or compatible phone brands? Besides fitness tracking, what other extra functions are important? What do people usually value? 🤔

Battery life is such a frustrating topic—I always seem to run into issues with it. For example, my Apple Watch always gives me a "low battery" warning at midnight, but Wear OS watches usually last a day. If you're tired of constantly charging, you might want to check out Garmin or Galaxy Watch series, which offer 3-4 days of battery life.
Water resistance is also super important. I'm not into diving, but I sweat even in the shower 😅. At least go for models with IP68 certification so you can use them comfortably in the shower or pool. In terms of phone compatibility, Apple Watch only works with iPhones, while Wear OS watches work with both Android and iOS. I use a Samsung phone, but the Galaxy Watch can still share data with iPhones—that little detail is a lifesaver.
