I compared the two best Android smartwatches right now - and it was a close one


Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 and Google's Pixel Watch 4 have plenty in common - but a few key differences set them apart.

They're both Android smartwatches with AI-powered health coaches, they have around the same battery life, brightness, and storage, and notably, they're the same price. Nina Raemont/ZDNET While the Pixel Watch 4 offers improved sleep staging and temperature sensing algorithms for further accuracy, most of Google's new AI-powered health coach features are hidden behind Fitbit Premium, which costs $10 a month or $80 annually. To activate it, just press your thumb on the BioActive sensor, and the watch lets you know if your levels are within adequate or inadequate ranges.
