The Android answer, with an orange button
By Abby Turner, Melbourne ยท
If you're on Android and someone in the house keeps going on about the Apple Watch Ultra, this is your comeback. Consider this your ammunition.
It's titanium, 47 mm across in a cushion-shaped case, and 12.1 mm thick, with a sapphire crystal, cellular, GPS and heart rate. 100 m water resistance. The orange quick button is handy for starting a workout without fiddling.
The battery is better than most smartwatches but still not Garmin territory, so expect a charger on your bedside table. And the cushion case looks a bit like it was designed to not be confused with an Apple, which it isn't, so mission accomplished I suppose.
The big downside for me: a big, square-ish smartwatch at work catches on everything, and I'd rather not be charging it after a double. At US$650 to $700, it's fair against the Apple Ultra, but a Garmin Instinct would suit me better.
