We haven't had much of a chance to try WearOS3 yet, as the software is only available on these two smartwatches. What are the differences, and is one better?
Since Google announced Wear OS 3 in 2021, the only way to experience the software has been on a Samsung smartwatch — either the Galaxy Watch 5 or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, where it’s covered by the company’s own One UI Watch interface and tweaks. That has recently changed with the release of the Montblanc Summit 3, which also comes with Wear OS 3, but obviously not Samsung’s software.
You swipe down from the top of the screen to see Quick Settings on both smartwatches, but Samsung has spread multiple buttons across scrollable screens, making them larger and easier to press. On the Summit 3, there are 10 buttons in all, and they only just fit on the screen at once. Feature packed vs. barebones Digging deeper into the menus reveals further differences. We’re going to start with the Accessibility menu, as it’s something at which the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro excels and at which Wear OS 3 on the Summit 3 falls short. On the Summit 3, there is a Magnification mode, the option to increase font size, and a way to turn the haptic vibration on or off. It’s a fairly basic set of controls compared to One UI Watch.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro has a lot more features in general than the Summit 3, where Wear OS 3 feels barebones, with just the basics needed. Samsung’s technically impressive camera app isn’t available, the sensor array isn’t as comprehensive, so health features are more limited, and there’s no ability to make or receive calls, plus no speaker for Google Assistant either.
Previous Next 1 of 5 It takes seconds to pair Bluetooth headphones on the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and if you have Samsung headphones already paired with your phone, they automatically appear in the list on the watch. Pairing is no problem on the Summit 3 either, but it does not automatically highlight headphones that have previously been paired with the connected phone, making the process slightly longer.
Waiting for the Pixel Watch What’s clear after using the two together is that Samsung adds plenty of value to its Wear OS 3 smartwatch with the use of One UI Watch. While some of its interface choices aren’t as user-friendly as Wear OS 3 on the Summit 3, there’s a lot more customization and helpful features that make the watch more useful to more people. The Summit 3 is very much, “what you see is what you get.
