The Pixel Watch 3 has a new LTPO AMOLED display, new Wear OS 5, Fitbit integration, and continuous heart rate detection. The Galaxy Watch 7 also has Wear OS 5, more software updates, a slightly longer battery life, more sports modes, and better workout and sleep detection. So, in this comparison, we'll pit these timepieces against one another to see which one you should acquire.
Both Pixel Watch 2 and Galaxy Watch 7 are great devices but the latter is a tad bit better at everything. Samsung Health is more comprehensive and completely free whereas Fitbit has fewer features, some of which are locked behind subscriptions. The Pixel Watch 2 is slightly more accurate in terms of tracking, but Galaxy Watches are not far off and more than makes up with Samsung Health's features. Overall, the Galaxy Watch 7 is a better pick.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen have similar features but differ in design and sound quality. The Buds 3 Pro has a more angular design and superior sound quality due to its high-quality audio codec, while the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen has a more comfortable fit and better spatial audio.

The Realme GT 6 is probably the most polished all-rounder I have used in the under Rs 45,000 segment in a while. There's barely anything to complain about. You get a top-tier curved AMOLED LTPO display, a massive 5,500mAh battery with 120W fast charging support, and even the powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 under the hood. If that's not enough, it also brings forth a commendable camera setup to the table, that will barely let you down. The in-hand feel of the phone is also very premium. All things considered, this may just be the best all-rounder gaming phone in this segment.
