Thank you all for watching! ADDITIONAL VIDEO NOTES: PRO - Watch is extremely accurate. I’ll get into some advanced testing I did but the HR and GPS are among the best in the industry CON - I wish the buttons were mappable during workouts. PRO - The strap - became more comfortable after using it a lot. I opted for the black strap with titanium grey watch PRO - There are lug attachments that work as an adapter for traditional watch straps CON - BUT Marine band sticks out at the end of the clasp CON - Straps are not actually that easy to put on - easy to get off if you have long fingernails though BOTH - Battery gets me through 2.5 - 3 days comfortably but sometimes less if I am doing a lot PRO - The watch face is awesome and very customizable CON - Sometimes I hit the quick button when I play golf and wear a glove CON - Still needs a rotating mechanism PRO - Pinch gesture is awesome! It also prompts you to use it when alarms go off, etc. Not a gimmick at all CON - Sometimes the knock knock gesture opens my recent apps by accident when I am not trying to use it. BOTH - Notifications work perfectly for me. Everything about the UI is good but I never use the digital bezel. This thing definitely needs a rotating crown or bezel CON - Some reports of misaligned displays PRO - durability is awesome. No scratches or dents. I even wore this in the ocean and the buttons are fine PRO - minimal dust collection in corners CON - Cannot charge on a Samsung phone?! Making room for new sensor on board, but this is a huge disappointment SPONSORED BY BESTBUY ACCURACY TESTING FITNESS I still never use the race feature - try it for the video From some angles, it can be tough to see the AMOLED if you are wearing polarized I love the trackback feature during a run - especially when I am in a new city SLEEP TRACKING My sleep animal is a lion - doesn’t tell me much though SPO2 tracking throughout the night seems to miss a lot of data. Makes me wonder how accurate it is. I have the watch somewhat tight without cutting off my circulation Sleep scores are high - probably good. Whoop is more harsh but perhaps more truthful Sleep apnea tracking is cool Snoring detection is nice as well I wish there was a morning briefing like Garmin has SPEED I know some said it was laggy but let’s see. With the latest software, I am not having any issues Charging is slow though` 3q. It takes about 1.5 hrs with the fast charger to get back to 100% And you cannot charge on the back of your phone PRICE - I guarantee you will see sales. I’ll have a link. Check trade in prices as well. Tip - go to Wear app, settings, press & hold, select assistant instead of Bixby Also, change start action to double press to avoid accidental presses This is Samsung’s best smartwatch for fitness tracking, battery life, and just about everything. I recommend it to anyone who does sprint triathlons or races, but does not necessarily compete. Like if you do a half ironman and your goal is to complete it, this could be the watch for you. It’s also the best android everyday watch in my opinion. Personally, I love the Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2, but since I’ve been using this for the past month, I am genuinely going to have a hard time switching back. This is just such a nice watch. Maybe I’ll keep this on my wrist.
