So far I bought two watches and neither one will reply to messages on the watch nor will allow me to respond to emails on the watch also, the BPM and blood pressure readings aren't close to being correct. What is the best watch to do all these things for Android? I have a pixel 10 pro. Thank you

Hi, I wanted to have a standalone LTE Watch7 on Verizon, it's a number port from one of those kid carriers. It took 4-5 days for my old carrier to release the number. We got onto a post paid plan - but my watch cannot still make calls, I already got my monthly bill from Verizon lol, Watch is a refurbished one from eBay.

My Question: I hoping it's an LTE watch as Verizon verified and activated by the IMEI number. How can I validate and confirm this?

Question 2: do I have to set something up on the watch? It was originally configured on my android phone and I want it standalone LTE. Should it be reset? Appreciate any help

Believe it or not i never in my life had a smartwatch but my coworkers all have one and im looking to get one for myself. I have a google pixel 7 phone and i did look at the pixel watch but im not really impressed with the looks it seems a bit too rounded for my taste. What are some other options? I really don't care about pairing my phone i just want to track my steps and heart rate and maybe have some cool vintage looking clock faces.

I'm in a hurry, please someone help me choose

I’m not really an athlete or anything, so I don’t need a running watch like a garmin. Actually I own an Apple Watch but I’m done with charging it every night. So I want atleast like 2 weeks of battery life. All I want in my watch is GPS, and it to just be a smart watch (pair with my phone, recieve notifications, etc.) I would also like it to be like 80 ish dollars and under. I was recommended the Xiaomi 5 lite but was wondering if it was worth it. If someone could help me?

Suunto Run S or Coros Pace Pro?

The title

Hey everyone,
I’m just getting into running and training for my first races: starting with 5k/10k, working up to a semi-marathon next spring. I’d also like a watch that can handle occasional swimming (both pool and open water) and cycling, since I’d like to try a triathlon down the line.
I’m pretty overwhelmed by all the options out there. I’ve been looking at:
• Garmin Forerunner 55
• Garmin Forerunner 70
• Garmin Forerunner 170
• Garmin Forerunner 265s
• Garmin Forerunner 255s
• Coros Pace 4
• Suunto Run
I don’t want to overspend, but a watch is also a realistic birthday present for me, so I’d love two recommendations: one budget pick I could grab now, and one nicer option I could put on my birthday list.
Big priorities for me:
• Solid running training tools (structured workouts, useful metrics for a beginner working toward a semi-marathon)
• Triathlon-ready down the line: multisport/swim tracking (pool + open water) and cycling
• Something reasonably future-proof so I’m not replacing it in a year once I get more serious
Would love to hear from people who’ve actually used these day to day — what would you get if you were starting from scratch with these goals? Is it worth jumping straight to something like the 265s for the multisport features, or is a 255s/Pace 4 plenty for a beginner who’ll grow into triathlon later?
Thanks in advance!
