Above.

I'm after a new "Smart" Watch due to problems with my current Fitbit Versa Charge 4, I was in the O2 shop in Town last week, they have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 for £15 a month, although following my Googling, it appears the Samsung Galaxy Watch Pro 5 fares better in reviews and has a better Battery life etc.

However, my current phone's a Google Pixel 7, so I'm drawn to the same brand Watch, can anyone advise which is the best one to get on price/user friendliness etc?

I am aware of Google.

I have a Galaxy Watch 4, but then also have a S23

I've had no issues with using it, but I do recommend power saving mode if you're planning on having the screen on all the time

Would a Samsung Watch work with a different brand phone though? I know it's all Android.

I'm just concerned about compatibility issues?

I had a huawei watch and a Samsung phone and they worked fine. I would ask as I don't really do Google Pixels what android version are you on? I know Samsung watches can be petty depending on which one you.

Latest version as of an update towards the end of last week.
