A 1.34" AMOLED screen, 46% larger than the Charge 6's, with an optional always-on mode and a physical button.
Multi-system GPS for phone-free runs, an ECG app for AFib checks, SpO2 and skin temperature sensing, and an altimeter for elevation.
Up to 7 days per charge, a 5-minute top-up for about a day of use, and a battery you can replace yourself when it wears out.
Dual-chip design keeps the main Snapdragon W5 dormant during light tasks, dramatically extending battery life beyond any rival Wear OS watch.
First Wear OS 6 device on the market — with ECG monitoring, EMG gesture control, and eSIM for standalone calling.
A larger display than the Galaxy Watch 9 (1.47") or Pixel Watch 5 (1.4"), though not as bright as their 3,000-nit panels, with Hasselblad-tuned health sensors, starting at around $285.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
$285 vs $476 over 3 years.
7 days vs 6 days battery.
5 sensors · 0.5 Hz HR sampling.
18g.
Anyone who wants a slim tracker with a screen, built-in GPS, and ECG rather than a full smartwatch. It suits Charge owners ready to upgrade, as long as they don't rely on Google Wallet payments or EDA stress scans. Works with both Android and iPhone via the Google Health app.
Full details →Android users who want a full-featured Wear OS smartwatch — ECG, eSIM, a large bright screen — at a price well below Samsung and Google competitors. A natural pairing with Xiaomi phones but fully compatible with any Android device.
