Apple Watch 8 Series vs Galaxy Watch 5: Smart Functions

1. Voice Assistant

• The Galaxy Watch 5 comes with Google voice assistant.
• The Apple Watch comes with Siri voice assistant.

Okay, you buy smart watches for a reason, and that reason is primarily the smart features that are included with them. As I previously mentioned, you can answer or decline incoming calls. Then you can talk to your friends directly on your watch without needing to switch to your smartphone, regardless of whether you have the Apple cellular version or the Samsung LTE version.

The voice assistant is another option now that you have a microphone and speaker. You can either say “hi Google” or “hi Siri” to activate them or push the side buttons for a brief period to access them. You can then ask them for the weather, the president’s name, to start exercises or even to make calls. It’s easy to use them.

2. Notifications

The notifications on both of them followed. On your smartphone, you can access all of the notifications and messages you typically receive, reply to them and select one of the many quick replay options. Use some emojis, write your text, and utilize the microphone and speak-to-dictate feature on the Apple watch or the Galaxy Watch 5 to send voice messages in their pure form.

As I’ve already mentioned, these watches come with a tonne of watch faces, and they’re all customizable, so you can use your camera to take a photo or choose one from your gallery to use as a background. You can also change the displayed metric, such as switching from Bear your life to your heart rate or workouts and then use those as shortcuts to the app, making it useful to have multiple watchfaces on your watch face.

Suppose you look through your Apple watchfaces. In that case, there are a lot of cool things to discover, like animated Toy Story characters, you can use your emoji as a background or even ported pictures, and over in the Samsung Galaxy watch, you can take pictures and the AI will create a unique watchface just for you with those colors in it.

Of course, you can also change the colors of the numbers dial and complications or even the whole style; it’s really up to you.

Both watches have systems to locate your other devices linked to your Apple or Samsung account, so feature-wise, both watches compete on equal footing and don’t even change with the battery life. For example, the Samsung Galaxy has the Google Play store, while the Apple Watch has the Apple Store, where you can download emojis and the noise app that measures how large your surroundings are.

5. Battery life
