After prepping my workout plan (as described “Strength Training with a Garmin: Before You Go to a Gym” article) and syncing it to my watch, I’m ready to go to a gym. In a gym I focus on exercising, therefore all the photos for this article I took at home. Working Out with Garmin Venu…
Before purchasing my Garmin Venu 3, I researched how people use their Garmins for strength and weightlifting. Unfortunately, the information I found wasn’t very applicable to my training style.

Spoiler: Initially I was wrong! Have you seen these meme pictures like the two below? I see them relatively often in the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch communities. To be fair – this situation happened to me regularly as well. This always made me smile and was a base for in-family jokes. Until I switched…
I have been using my Garmin Venu 3 already for a few weeks, and now I can start comparing it with the Galaxy Watch in the health department. First, what I noticed is the fundamentally different approaches Garmin and Samsung have. When I use Samsung Health I have to guess how this or that feature…

On the paper Galaxy Watches are rated as 5 ATM or WR 50 meters according to ISO 22810:2010. Samsung says:Water resistant based on 5ATM rating, which means submersion…
This is probably the shortest article on the whole gelberhut.com. If you have ever used the Samsung Health Sleep Coach (you need a Galaxy Watch or other wearable for this) or seen their commercials you will know about the animals which it assigns to people. I always was a nervous penguin, and chances are that…
In a few days from now I will have a birthday (thank you!) and my present will be a new smartwatch – Garmin Venu 3. It will replace my Galaxy Watch 4. This will be my first ever Garmin. I was researching this topic for some time, and still not absolutely sure if I will…
