Basically yes, GW and pixel. Some people like new mobvoi, but it is huge, seconds screen is a questionable aesthetic, materials are not that great, and mobvoi had a or fiasco with promising and not delivering wearos for their previous models. Gw6 will be presented in 20 days.

Yeah I'd go with some reliable company that delivers updates. I've heard of some company promised wearos 3,yet never delivered it ๐Ÿ˜… but forgot which company it was. GW looks good, but their watches are locked down to Samsung phones sadly, like the ecg, sleep tracking etc don't work with other phones. I own a pixel 7 so idk of it'd work well ๐Ÿ˜…

GW is not that locked as many thinks. For example, sleep tracking is not locked, ECG can be unlocked, and "etc" is mostly minor features which other watches do not have at all.

This is the most complete list of Samsung phone only features I managed to collect: https://medium.com/@mrgelberhut/galaxy-watch-4-5-features-which-require-a-samsung-phone-df574998b817
