W26 Vs W26 Plus Smart Watch – Differences that matter

Planning to buy a new smartwatch, but still confused about which one to prefer. Here I have listed some points which will make it easier for you to decide whether you should buy W26 or the W26 Plus.

Here are the points I will be talking about. If I missed out something, let me know in comment section:

• Design
• Watch Faces
• Functioning Crown or not
• Apps

1. Design

Appeareance wise both the smartwatches looks almost the same.

Front:

As the W26 Plus is the upgraded version of W26, it’s display quality and size are the same. Both have 44mm full Display. So there is no difference in Front side of the Watch.

Side:

Both the sides of the watch is also simmilar. Right from crown to size this looks almost the same. So the sides of the watch has no Visible Difference.

Strap:

As I stated earlier W26 Plus is upgraded version of W26, but there is no upgrade in Strap quality. BTW strap quality not only looks amazing but also feels the same.

Both the watches have removble straps/ bands which means you can install strap of your choice.

Back:

This is the only difference I can see in the design of the watch. W26 Plus has 8 back Sensors (out of these only 4 sensors have working light) whereas w26 only has 1 sensor. I don’t think functioning would be any different but this is all they have upgraded.

Conclusion:

In a nutshell, there is no difference in the appearance of the watch. The only difference you can see is the number of back sensors.

2. Watch Faces

Do you know how many watch faces does w26 and w26 plus have? let me answer this question

Both the watches have 7 Watch faces. The only difference is w26+ watch faces look more realistic to the Apple watch.

3. Crown Working or not ( Side button )

This is most important question whether the crown works or not in W26+.

This is the biggest upgrade they have made in W26+ and believe me this is the only feature that makes this watch feel premium. You can use this scroll to switch watch faces, zoom in and out, scroll through contacts, messages, and other functions.

4. Apps

W26 and w26 plus have the same apps. First, when I looked at the sensors I thought w26+ might have some additional tracers or functioning but it is not like this. Both the Watches have the same apps.

These are the Supported apps in both W26 and W26 plus smartwatch:

• Messages
• phonebook
• Call Logs
• Dialer

Conclusion:

As from the above comparison of W26 and W26 plus smartwatches it is clear that both the smartwatches are almost the same. They have the same features and the same quality. The only difference you can find in this watch is that there is no functioning crown (side button) but in w26 plus you get that button functioning, you can use this crown button to scroll things and do some other stuff.

I would really suggest you to go for W26 plus, there is a difference of around 200 to 300 INR. But in this amount you will get crown functioning. I hope you are now clear which watch to buy. If you have any other doubt or if I have missed something let me know in comment box.
