You can download and install additional apps for the watch, and there are more features baked-in too.įor example, you can take calls on the watch as it has a mic and speaker. Samsung’s Galaxy Store is at the heart of these smarts. You need to appreciate the added smart features for this big difference in battery life to seem justified. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 lasts around two days between charges, the Huawei Watch GT 2 up to two weeks.

It’s similar to the EKG/ECG sensor in the Apple Watch Series 5. You’ll put your finger to one of the side buttons, which acts as an ECG lead, in order to take a reading. This is not something you’ll likely to every day, though.

It was recently given the green light by the FDA, so the feature should be added to the Watch 3 soon enough in a software update. The hardware needs to be signed off for use by a country’s relevant regulatory body. However, it is not currently an active feature in the UK or US. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 also has an ECG /EKG sensor, which can be used to identify abnormalities in your heart rhythm. These little issues won’t matter much if you leave your warm ups and cool downs out of your tracking, but will skew the results a little if you do. It tends to separate from the chest strap reading by 5-10bpm, rather than just a couple, at lower exertion. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3’s accuracy also tails off in “run” mode if you take a longer break that sees your heart rate head closer to 100bpm, or below. This is likely a result of the error-correcting HR algorithm assuming the workout was already under way, and not believing 70bpm could be the right figure. Recording during a pre-run walk and it thought my heart rate was around 115bpm when it was actually 70bpm. However, like many fitness trackers, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 struggled during the first few minutes of tracking. The Galaxy Watch 3's HR sensor is a good performer Andrew Williams When you go beyond the basic running, cycling and walking modes the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 starts acting more like a coach. How can there be so many? Samsung gets creative here.Īctivity modes in most fitness watches just display the same metrics slightly differently and assign a different label in your exercise history. It has the GPS you want for accurate distance and location tracking, and there are stacks of modes, 41 in total. I’ve used it to track a few hikes and runs. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is an excellent exercise tracker. And you get that and more with the Huawei Watch GT 2, but that band is less smart than the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. But used this like this it feels you don’t see anything like the best of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3.įour days of always-on use would be ideal. Battery drain when the watch is doing next-to-nothing is minimal. The longest you’ll see it last is a little over four days, if you don’t wear it 24/7 and let the screen go completely to sleep. Used with the always-on mode and simple auto exercise tracking, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 lasts a little over two days. Take out location tracked exercise and you’ll see battery life more-or-less dead on Samsung's claim. The Galaxy Watch 3 is a two-day smartwatch Andrew Williams This does not sound great, but GPS is a battery-zapper. Using the watch in always-on mode for GPS tracking of a three-hour hike and regular WhatsApp message checks, it ran out of juice in a day and a half. Use it extensively each day and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 won’t last as long. This watch has a fairly small 370mAh battery and Samsung says it lasts 56 hours. I spent the last two weeks using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, switching how I used it with each charge to see the effect on battery life.
However, it does have a significant affect on battery life. It makes the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 a much better watch, as you can just glance at the time as you would a normal “dumb” watch. This displays a simplified, dimmed version of your watch face when sitting idle on your wrist.
But for the best day-to-day experience you’ll want to switch on the “always on” mode. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 display turns itself off after a five seconds of inactivity. OLED tech gives the Galaxy Watch 3 a bold look Andrew Williams
