Late reply but better late than never.

I'd say it depends on the ecosystem you're in i.e. are you using a Samsung or Huawei phone?

Naturally, I use a Samsung phone so getting a Samsung watch was the logical thing to do. I've got to say that based on experience, it has been pretty good with no missed notifications, dropped calls, etc.

Edit to add that if size is a concern, then the Galaxy Watch Active would be the better choice.
