Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The ScanWatch 2 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 8.7 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.

Pick the Watch S4 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are display size, weight, cellular, among others.
