It is a wrissmurfch that ousmurfches your daily activities. Some of them are resistant to salsmurfer. I hope I wasn't smurfling that much.

My father at one point had a mechanical one (don't know the brand) with a skeletonized face and exposed gears but I don't think it was automatic. Mom has stuck mostly to the $5 watches that have been available since at least the 70's and gotten a new one whenever it died. I think she spent more on batteries than she did on the watches.Then my brother got a Pebble and Dad had to have a Pebble and he sent me one too, then he got an Apple watch, at some point Mom got the Gear S, then the Gear 2, then went back to the Gear S because she liked it better etc.Oh yeah, and there was a brief phase in my early teens when Dad got a Timex Iron Man and liked it so much that my brother and I both got Iron Man watches for our birthdays that year. Of course Dad's was the only real Iron Man watch, and he insisted that ours were really Rubbermaid.... Def

Well, I wore the watches on different hands today and the result for the pedometer were more or less reversed, so I am convinced that the pedometers are close enough to even with eachother.I have to say that if I had to choose one smart watch over the other, I am thinking I would take the Gear S. It seems to have more options and capabilities than the Pebble, and it can also function more independently than the Pebble as well.I don't mind the size, and you can put a much prettier watch face on it so it looks like you have a nice watch when you go out.Def

Both of them?
.One more thing to mention- the Pebble battery can last up to 5 days if you are careful- after wearing it for one day (I put it on at 7am this morning and it is now 9pm) the Samsung has been reduced to 40% battery, which means you have to charge it every night. The neat thing is that the charger for the Samsung takes a standard Micro USB plug, so you can use the same cable you probably already use to charge your tablet, phone, bluetooth headset etc to charge your watch and the charger actually holds an extra full charge for the phone inside it, so you can actually charge the watch with the charger not even plugged into a power source. Pretty cool.By comparison, the Pebble Talk uses a special cable that only works on the Pebble Talk and maybe one other Pebble model, and is different from the cable that I had for my previous Pebble. If I ever lose that cable, I'm probably quite screwed,. Def
