The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 – Apple’s Latest Opponent

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is the latest opponent to the Apple Watch Series 6. Specifically, it’s trying to offer its users an all-in-one device that you can use for fitness tracking through to controlling your home’s smart technology.

This watch was unveiled with the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Buds Live back in August (2020). It comes in 41mm and a slightly larger 45mm with optional LTE connectivity.

Looking at the specifications, it’s a subtle upgrade from the predecessors with the addition of new features, rather than any development on the firmware. Notably, the addition of blood oxygen reading and a few design enhancements. Potentially, through a software update it will also be able to track your blood pressure in the future.

So, really, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 isn’t an overwhelming upgrade, especially compared to the Series 6. Nonetheless, it’s still a strong non-Apple offering.

Design

The main attraction to the Samsung Galaxy Watches is how they have the look of a traditional timepiece. Unlike the uniquely designed Apple Watch, which screams “technology”, Samsung offer a rounded touch screen with an OLED panel that looks like a classic timepiece.

Specifically speaking, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 offers a 360 x 360 resolution display, housed within a metal rotating bezel. Then, outside is a metallic main frame with two side buttons on the right. Ergonomically speaking, this is a really intuitive design.

Although it is possible to interact with the device solely through the touchscreen, some people like the addition of texture. So, the top right button has a stop-start function and the bottom is your input, back-to-home button and in-list scrolling. Finally, your bezel is how you switch between the menu screens from your home screen as well as scrolling lists once you’ve selected on.

Altogether, the design gives the watch a premium feel.

Sensors

What’s more, you get an impressive array of sensors on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3.

Namely:

Accelerometer
Barometer
Gyro sensor
Light and optical heart rate sensors
GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/Beidou
NFC

And you get 8GB built-in storage. Altogether, the spec of this device gives any Garmin a run for its money.

Finally, it has an IP68 rating, meaning it’s reasonably waterproof against small splashes and sweat.

Software and Apps

Software

Galaxy Watches are the only devices you’ll find with Samsung Tizen software inside. For illustration, this is what they use inside their TVs and some smart devices. Meaning, you have access to the apps found in the Samsung Galaxy Store.

In itself, you’d think this would be enough to blow rivals out the water, but sadly, the current state of Wear OS limits this. To clarify, the support for apps is no competition to Apple. But, with Tizen you do get an app for everything you need, be it travel or weather. What’s more, there is support for apps you love like Spotify, and you can use the watch for contactless payments.

Tracking

Speaking of tracking, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is pretty capable. Whilst it doesn’t have top-of-the-range tracking data or an extensive list of activities like you’d see on a Garmin, but we are talking about a smartwatch, not a sportswatch.

However, it does track all the basics; walking, running, swimming, indoor and outdoor cycling, weights, etc. Also, it has a nice coach feature. Including a running coach that’ll offer advice as you run based on performance data.

The running feature is great for newbies to jogging and offers advice to keep you going as well as offering advice on what to do. Now, this isn’t as in-depth as the Garmin or Fitbit offering, but remember once again, this isn’t a designated sportswatch.

To illustrate, tracking is not as detailed as, say, the Garmin Fenix 6 Solar, but it is on par with the likes of the Fitbit Versa 3.

Finally, it’s worth noting that, whilst it is a smartwatch, there are some excellent wellbeing features, such as fall detection. As with the Apple Watch, it works much in the same way. Plus, it’ll alert your emergency contact, which is really handy for people with any health issues, or elderly users.

Battery Life

Here we reach the section where the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 doesn’t match up to the rivals. Whilst the battery life isn’t amazing, specially if you’re using GPS and fitness features regularly, it also isn’t bad.

The 45mm version has a 340mAh cell and they claim this will give you 2 days between charges. Luckily it has wireless charging.

Should I buy a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3?

If you’re not keen on an Apple Watch, or want something specifically for Android users, then the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is one of the best options out there for you.

Polar Vantage V2 Review

Polar Vantage V2 – If you’re a serious fitness enthusiast, you want a sports watch that will keep up with you. So that means you need a Garmin or Polar on your wrist. And that’s not forgetting the Apple Watch or all Fibits, but the aforementioned heavyweights are the best the sportswatch world has to offer.

Polar has come along with the Vantage V2 and it’s a wonderful sportswatch if you’re big on running or cycling for miles. Furthermore, if you’re interested in your metrics and insights, the V2 has got you covered. Finally, this watch will do more than give you data, it’ll act as your coach, too. A clever one at that; it’ll tell you if you need to work harder or have a rest day.

This is all folded into a reasonably priced package.

Polar Vantage V2 Design

First thing to remember is that Polar wasn’t trying to create a brand new design. So not a lot has changed since the first version of the Vantage. So you get a round, aluminium back with an interchangeable silicone band. Notably, it doesn’t look at all heavy on the wrist and nor is it. Meaning, you can go running or for a swim without being held back (or being mistaken for a Garmin).

Similarly to the original Vantage, you get 1.2 inch touchscreen with buttons on the side. Before you judge, those buttons actually add a great texture to the overall sporty look. Also, they add a wonderfully satisfying operation to the watch.

Polar Vantage V2 Features

The Polar Vantage V2 wants to take your training to the next level. And it does this by offering detailed data that experienced runners and cyclists will love. Yet this data might be seen as too much for some, if you’re in the know, you can make improvements to your training.

The Vantage V2 offers everything a runner, cyclist and/or swimmer will want in their sports watch. Specifically, accurate GPS, fitness and health metrics from heart rate to energy levels. What’s more, this is all presented in an easily-digestible format of graphs in your Polar Flow app. Naturally, it’ll play nicely with Strava, too.

Firstly, the V2 knows how your body feels before a big training session. Also, they made improvements to the cycling performance test which helps you to assess how hard to pedal over a period of time, using the power meter.

Secondly, for runners, you get a leg performance test which will prompt you to jump on the spot sometimes to asses if you’re fit and ready for a high-intensity session. Suffice to say, it’s a step ahead of the simple heart rate monitor. Furthremore, it can assess readiness and recovery.

Adventure Companion

Polar wants you to take the Vantage V2 on your adventures. And there’s no better friend to have with you than someone who can help navigate the trails or help you decide if your body can handle a few more miles.

Before heading off, you can upload a route to your watch. Unlike with Garmin, you get a feature called FuelWise smart assistant. You can use this to set up reminders to take in some water or food on the basis of your heart rate during your activity. So it really does cater to the marathon runners of the world.

Perhaps you’re looking at the V2 because you’ve got a heavy training schedule and you need something to help keep on track. You’d be making a great choice.

Music

Unlike Garmin, the Polar V2 doesn’t bend to the demand of sportwatches to be smartwatches at the same time. Although you do get your notifications and a snapshot of the weather. What’s more with this version is music controls. So, no, you can’t load it with Spotify playlists and it doesn’t offer onboard music storage, but you can control a playlist. Maybe not a wow factor feature, but it’s handy.

Sleep tracking

You can wear a Vantage V2 to bed and get some of the best insights into your sleep quality the smartwatch world has to offer. Not only will it give you a breakdown of your sleep stages (as with most sleep tracking watches) it’ll also give you a good idea of how well you recovered from your previous day during your night’s sleep. Indeed, this rivals the likes of the Fitbit Sense.

Polar Vantage V2 Battery LIfe

Poloar boasts decent 40 hours when the V2 is used in training mode.

Otherwise, it offers seven days in smartwatch mode.

Polar Vantage V2 Verdict

The Vantage V2 is a kind of watch that appeals to someone who loves their data. There’s plenty of it, too. You’ll soon learn the numbers that matter and how to use the information to improve your training. So if that’s what your goal is, to get more from your training; the Vantage V2 is a serious contender.

Matrix PowerWatch 2 Review

A reason why classic watches will forever have an advantage over smartwatches is the fact that they never (rarely ever) need charging. Whereas, a smartwatch will give you a week at best. The Maxtrix PowerWatch 2, much like its predecessor, offers the sensational ability to rarely ever need to be away from your wrist. Therefore this makes it one of the best smartwatches of 2020.

PowerWatch 2 Price and availability

The PowerWatch Series 2 comes in three models. Firstly there’s the black with rubber strap. Secondly is the Series 2 Premium, which comes with a stainless steel strap and silver finish. Finally, there’s the Luxe, which has the cool ability to charge off of your body heat. So you’ll never have to charge this watch. This is the titanium case and stainless steel case device.

PowerWatch 2 Design

This range isn’t as chunky as the likes of the Garmin Fenix 6X Solar, but it still looks like it has a place outdoors or as you workout in the gym. Furthermore, the 16mm thick band and 47mm case means it’s not designed for smaller wrists.

The PowerWatch Series 2 has a superior finish to the first PowerWatch. In fact, it has a strong look with the red band around the circumference. Also, there are four screws keeping securing the case, which has bevelled edges. Additionally, you get four buttons, two either side. Compared to the original, which had a digital crown with two small buttons to the right. The buttons help you navigate the watch and its screens, including starting and ending workouts.

The large case means you get a modest 1.2 inch colour screen, which is covered by sapphire glass. If you’re a lover of thicker bezels, you’ll love this. It’s also easy to read in most lighting conditions, coming with a backlight, too.

Finally, the PowerWatch 2 offers 200m water-proofing, which will keep it safe for things like snorkelling and surfing, but it is not a dive watch.

PowerWatch 2 Features

Additional to step tracking, calories, heart rate and sleep monitoring, the PowerWatch 2 will show you how much energy it is getting from your body heat and/or light sources.

Your app will show you exercise data, but that’s about it; it’s nothing compared to Fitbit or Garmin’s apps.

As for smart notifications, they’re basic. If you get a notification, the PowerWatch will display only a few preview words. Unlike most Android compatible smartwatches, this is a rare occasion where you cannot respond to text messages.

The second series of the PowerWatch has the ability to track five activities which are an outdoor walk, run, cycle, indoor run or walk. You get a heart rate monitor and GPS to complement all this. Again, this is a nice basic feature but doesn’t have the sophistication of a Garmin or Fitbit.

GPS will drain the battery so it’s advised that you only use it for up to half an hour a day, which is a decent run or walk.

During your activity, you’ll get an on-screen display for the basic stats. Unfortunately, you can’t customise your screen.

Battery Life

As we’ve said, the battery life is the best part. The PowerWatch 2 is charged wirelessly. Though, chances are you won’t need it. The coolest thing about these watches is how they charge using your body heat (thermoelectricity).

In short, it knows the difference between the ambient temperature and that of your skin and uses it to generate electricity. So, the greater the difference, the faster a charge you’ll get. Consider that if you go for a run on a frosty morning, it’ll charge faster than being sat on the sofa.

Additionally, there’s a solar panel on the display, similar to the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar.

Alternatively, you could look at the Apple Watch Series 6 if you’re an iPhone user. Perhaps the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 if you’re an Android user. The downside being these two will need to be recharged, almost daily. Though, there are things you can do to maintain your Apple Watch battery.

Verdict

The Matrix PowerWatch 2 will almost never need to be charged, but you have to decide if that’s cool enough to pay for considering it has basic features compared to similar devices.

Pros

Long battery life
Built-in GPS

Cons

Costly compared to alternatives
Only basic fitness features
Limited smart notifications
No apps

TicWatch Pro 3 GPS Review

TicWatch Pro 3 GPS – It’s safe to say there are few good things we’ll look back at 2020 and remember fondly. However, it has been a good year for Android users in the world of smartwatches.

In August of this year, we saw the release of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. As well as this, we got the new Oppo Watch, which is an awesome device on Wear OS. Granted, both have their bugs, but not many. Their biggest challenge, however, is the release of fierce competition; the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS.

The design might be subtle but Mobvoi has made improvements to the predecessors. Namely with battery life. Enough to give Samsung and Oppo a run for their money.

Advanced Health and Fitness Monitoring - Multiple sports modes, with built-in GPS, barometer and...

Design of the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS

Firstly, as with traditional watches, smartwatches come in all sorts of designs to suit different people. The TicWatch Pro 3 GPS is sleek in black stainless steel and leans more toward a sporty look than a fashion piece.

Secondly, it comes with a 47mm case, which is chunky by anyone’s standards. However, Mobvoi made this watch lighter than any previous model, which means it’s hardcore but lightweight.

Finally, it comes complete with a silicone band akin to leather. However, it’s interchangeable for any other 22mm option so you can match your style.

Performance of the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS

The TicWatch Pro 3 GPS has a clear standout feature alongside the battery life. And that’s the addition of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip. More, it’s special because it’s the first appearance of the chip onboard a Wear OS smartwatch.

What’s more, it has 1GB memory, meaning the watch doesn’t lag; a previous issue with a lot of Wear OS devices. As such, it has a silky-smooth performance, allowing you to glide through apps and navigation.

In addition to the chip, you can enjoy it for a long time between charges. It has a whopping 577mAh battery, meaning, you can go 45 days between charges in Essential Mode. Or, you can get 3 days in smartwatch mode.

Mobvoi kept the dual-screen, meaning it has both a low-power digital screen when not awake and a traditional smartwatch touchscreen when it is.

Additionally, the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS has one drawback and it’s the lack of rotating bezel or alternative button for navigating and scrolling. Speaking of the touchscreen, it’s good but it’s not as great as the Galaxy Watch series.

Specification of the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS

It comes in a 47mm by 12.2mm case made of stainless steel and plastic.

The screen is a 1.4 inch AMOLED retina screen which has an auto-brightness adjustment and an always-on power-saving display.

It has a water resistance rating of IP68, which essentially means it’s dustproof.

As we know, it runs on Wear OS.

Fitness and health features

The TicWatch Pro 3 GPS has a sport look and fitness features, including native apps, to match.

What’s more, there is a blood oxygen tracking feature and heart rate monitor.

As with the Galaxy Watch range, the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS will automatically detect when you’re exercising and identify what activity you’re doing. Then, this will get recorded into the TicExercise app. Additionally, you get access to a range of Google fitness apps like Google Fit.

Finally, the sleep tracking is accurate in comparison to other devices with this capability and produces data in a user-friendly way.

Wear OS

Wear OS from Google gets a bit of a knocking online but that’s because, for a tech giant, they could do more.

The main issue is the battery drainage, however, Mobovi has dealt with that. Plus the RAM and 4100 chip remove any lag.

Conclusion

For the price, you get a truly subtle-looking but powerful smartwatch. The main benefit is the battery life, which puts other 2020 offerings to shame. It’s nice to be able to live without worrying about charging your watch every day. The TicWatch Pro 3 is a sensational offering for the price with it’s smart features in combination with its ability to keep up with any outdoor fitness fanatic on a mid-range budget.
