Which Smartwatch Should I Buy?

Choosing the right smartwatch isn't just about its features. Don't just look at the hardware. The app that controls it matters too! 

If you're considering buying a (non-Apple) smartwatch, it's important to evaluate the quality of the app that controls it.

In addition to the watch's features, it's crucial to understand how the supporting Android app handles your data.

I've compiled key details from the smartwatch app profiles on the Google Play Store for the smartwatch brands available in India, as of 7th August 2024.

The chart I created showcases this data, highlighting the most downloaded app from each smartwatch brand. Note that some smartwatch brands produce multiple model series, each of which may have a corresponding app.

Based on download numbers, Samsung Galaxy Wearable app, and by extension, Samsung Galaxy Watch, emerges as leading contender in the smartwatch market, reflecting its strong global brand recognition. Galaxy Wearable app also has the highest number of reviews, indicating significant user interaction and feedback.

There seems to be a general correlation between downloads and reviews, suggesting that more popular apps tend to have more reviews.

While price is an important factor in choosing a smartwatch, it's highly variable, so it hasn't been included here. However, I hope the comparison data helps you consider other important factors in your decision-making process.

If you think I've missed any details or have questions about the data, feel free to reach out.
