My current iPhone 12 Pro Max does almost everything youd want from a modern smartphone.

Its fast, takes great pictures, and is incredibly reliable.

But iOS has also gotten boring.

The basic tap and touch icons are the same, and you navigate through screens the same way.

Im not so loyal to Apple as I am to Google when it comes down to it.

All of the essential Google apps work better on Android than on iPhones.

Many iOS apps offer a certain level of convenience but require you to launch them constantly.

But Ive come to realize that I only use a fraction of the Apple Watchs capabilities.

The Watch 4 offers many of the same Watch Series 7, including heart monitoring and other health features.

As a bonus, Ive found Googles voice recognition to be much more accurate than Siri.

I am excited to see what Google does with the rumored upcomingPixel Watch.

Like most people, I spend way too much time per day handling my smartphone.

After a while, its nice to have the ability to mix things up.
