**Bottom line: the TCL NxtWear S is the better buy for most people, unless you need the brighter display.**

- Buy the Dream Glass Flow if you need the brighter 500-nit display (vs 400 nits) and you want the lighter 59g fit (vs 89g).
- Buy the TCL NxtWear S if you play on Steam Deck, you play on Nintendo Switch, you play on PlayStation, and you play on Xbox.
