The connected watch is no longer a gadget: it is an extension of the body. She follows the heart rate, opens the door of a hotel, settles a coffee, recalls to move.
But not all of them are worth. In 2024, two models dominate the Android ecosystem: the Google Pixel Watch 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. Which one really marries your daily life?

Android is not a unified kingdom; It is a federation of services, devices, experiences. Google embodies the software layer, Samsung industrial power. Choosing between their watches is choosing a vision of the personal assistant on the wrist. Here is what separates them – and what brings them closer.
Bring a whole day, the pixel is forgotten; The Samsung is felt – reassuring for some, invasive for others.
The pixel charms minimalists; The Galaxy speaks to lovers of various bracelets.
The two watches use an amoled still lit at 1,000 nits.
Shared sensors: Multi-LED optical cardio, SPO₂, ECG, night skin temperature, altimeter, double band GPS.
In testing, the Galaxy GPS is faster to hang, that of the more stable pixel in urban ravines. On the sleep side, Fitbit remains the reference; Samsung simplifies in a score.
The entry price is similar, but Samsung often multiplies group promotions.
