Its squircle shape is extremely recognizable, though not very fashionable. Not to mention, it is also the cheaper smartwatch and offers the option of LTE if wanted.The Apple Watch design has hardly changed in the six years since the original model put practically smartwatches on the map. Overall, however, the Galaxy Watch 5 is the better of the two smartwatches when it comes to the quality of the build, smart features, and even the number of health metrics it can track. For context, and although there are unofficial ways to get them to work on non-Samsung phones, ECG and blood pressure measurement only works natively on Samsung phones. What's more, Fitbit doesn't tie some of its important health features, including ECG measurement, to a particular type of phone. Those who want a smartwatch that works with both Android and iOS are better off with the Fitbit Sense 2 as Samsung's watch only works with Android phones. Samsung also offers an LTE version for $279.99 and a larger 44mm version for $269.99 (or $299.99 with LTE).ĭeciding which one to buy depends on multiple factors. Fitbit has priced the Sense 2 at $299.95, which is higher than the $249.99 starting price of the Galaxy Watch 5 (40mm Bluetooth version). However, it also has fast charging and can go from 0 to 45 percent in 30 minutes. In contrast, the Galaxy Watch 5 can only manage about two days before it needs to be charged. Both Fitbit and Samsung's watches have Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth, but only the Galaxy Watch 5 has optional LTE (via an eSIM).įitbit says the Sense 2's battery can last up to six days and supports fast charging – a 12-minute charge will provide a day's worth of battery. ![]() With Samsung's smartwatch, wearers can choose between Bixby and installing the Google Assistant. While Sense 2 come with a built-in Alexa voice assistant, it's lacking Google Assistant integration, unlike its predecessor. In contrast, the Sense 2 runs Fitbit OS and provides users with an ample amount of apps and watch faces via the Fitbit Gallery. Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5 runs Wear OS with apps and watch faces available to download from the Play Store. The Galaxy Watch 5 has support for over 90 sports modes, which is more than double the 40 available on the Fitbit Sense. They both have support for sleep tracking and women's health tracking. Samsung's smartwatch also supports blood pressure monitoring, but not in the United States. ![]() In addition to these, the Sense 2 also features a sensor for all-day stress tracking, while the Galaxy Watch 5 comes with a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis sensor for measuring body composition. Samsung also sells a special Golf Edition of the Watch 5.īoth watches have sensors for heart rate tracking, blood oxygen level measurement, ECG measurement, and even have a skin temperature sensor. Fitbit offers the Sense 2 in Graphite, Platinum, and Soft Gold whereas the Galaxy Watch 5 can be purchased in Graphite, Silver, and Pink Gold. Samsung's smartwatch also comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes and has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating as well as a 5 ATM water-resistance rating. In contrast, the Galaxy Watch 5 has a round dial protected by sapphire crystal, an aluminum armor case, and a replaceable 20mm band. It doesn't have an official IP rating but is water-resistant up to 50 meters. The Sense 2 has a square dial, aluminum case, and replaceable 24mm flexible straps. ![]() The differences between the Fitbit Sense 2 and the Galaxy Watch 5 start with the design. Apart from Samsung and Fitbit, the smartwatch space has plenty of competition thanks to wearables like the Apple Watch Series 8 and Google Pixel Watch. ![]() Among the Fitbit Sense 2's rivals is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5, and both smartwatches will be fighting for a place on users' wrists.

![]() HAL's user terminal concept is done today with devices like Alexa, and we've moved so far beyond with distributed computing using miniature computers inside smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc. What Clark presented as HAL was indeed futuristic at the time though today, artificial intelligence has advanced significantly and centralized computing of the past is now distributed computing through networks around the globe. To put this into perspective, computers in 1968 were huge and kept in special climate-controlled rooms, usually in a building's basement, and interaction with these computers was through dumb computer terminals and programs were loaded using hundreds, if not thousands, of punch cards. As you'll recall from the movie, the crew interacts with HAL through wall-mounted modules equipped with camera, microphone, and speaker, as the computer itself was a massive affair kept in a special chamber aboard Discovery. Clark wrote the novel and screenplay for 2001: a space odyssey, one of the 'stars' was the HAL 9000 computer, HAL being an acronym for Heuristically-programmed ALgorithmic computer, heuristics in those days was one of the early foundations for what would become artificial intelligence.

![]() ![]() released ‘Dreams & Nightmares’ on the 30th October, 2012.Meek Mill & Friends To Celebrate 10th Anniversary Of Dreams And Nightmares With Homecoming Concert At Wells Fargo Center On November 26 Oct 31, 2022 Intro (Dreams And Nightmares In Stores 10.30) by Dream Chasers Records The whole track is geared towards raw emotion and doesn’t flinch from its target an inch, making this song one of the most genuinely thrilling that will be produced this or any year. It ends with a curt “I’m gone”, like it was done in one breathless take and he literally couldn’t say anymore without completely losing it. Meek Mill has a capacity to depict trauma on record that most other musicians – let alone typically guarded and often insecure rappers – lack, and Dreams and Nightmares is the door to an album that may seem bare on the surface but can be dramatically rich, evocative and intense. An impressive storyteller, he also has a knack for bald details like riding through a rival’s neigbourhood with his “bike on twelve o’clock” that gives everything he says a palpable sense of urgency and risk. The transition from “hater rest in peace/ hater rest in peace, rest in peace to the parking lot” serves as a moment of calm in the first part of the song when the angry “You fuck around, you fuck around, you fuck around, get smoked!” does the polar opposite in the second. Meek Mill’s forthright approach means he often works with quick dichotomies – “I had to grind like that/to shine like this” – and what he lacks in obvious technical flourishes he makes up for in deceptively simple deviations. Meek composes all his work mumbling to himself around the studio and his off-the-hip style is all external, characterized by volleys of shouts and screams that hardly need to convince because the emotion is so apparent in the form.ĭreams and Nightmares is like two of his best attributes put into a single song, with the opening half resembling his heart-rending take on Drake’s The Ride released at the turn of the year before seamlessly switching up to an all-spraying attack with the best ever application of that ubiquitous Maybach Music drop. Ross’ style is a primer in restraint – heavy syllabic jabs delivered with controlled breaths with bulky punchlines – and even hyperactive goon Gunplay, the third of the label’s top trio, has bars you can tell he’s really hand-crafted and looks back on with pride. Signing him was a good coup for Ross, as Meek’s high energy style helped to add a rough underbelly to his polished veneer on early singles like Ima Boss and Tupac Back. His story is one of rags to riches, and his personal mythology is marked by two key events: the death of his father during an armed robbery and the subsequent pressure it put on his young son, and an eight month prison sentence in 2008 that left him bitter and hungry for success.Īlready a fixture in his home city with a popular series of ‘The Real Me’ and ‘Flamers’ mixtapes, he had a dalliance with T.I.‘s Grand Hustle imprint before Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group snapped him up last year. On the whole ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ is a very good album, it’s got filler but the killer is strong enough to dismiss it, and it showcases what the very talented Meek is capable of. ![]() This week Meek Mill released his long awaited debut ‘Dreams and Nightmares’, with the opening track of the same name setting the tone for a lean collection of explosive, emotive songs. |
