Some time ago, I wrote about two undervalued features of OneUI 5 for Galaxy Watches (if you did not read it yet, you can find it here — “Two underrated features of WearOS 4/OneUI 5 brought to the Galaxy Watches”). In this post, I want to talk about two features that Samsung should not have…
This summer I was hiking in the Alps. As always — a fantastic time! I’m a rather techy, but reasonable person. That means I do use gadgets. I do have a lot and am always interested in new ways to use them on the one hand. But, on the other hand, I do not buy…
I have seen many overviews of the new features which Samsung has implemented in the WearOS4/OneUI5 update. From Samsung’s own announcements to independent professional and amateur reviewers. Even better than before sleep analysis and coaching (to be honest, I still do not see what exactly is new in this department) and Irregular HR Monitoring (if…
First I wrote “how do I use my Galaxy Watch” when I was using Galaxy Watch 3, which is a Tizen OS based watch with very limited selection of app. Now I use a Galaxy Watch of the next generation, based on WearOS. Did this change my most important use cases? Yes, but not that…
Some people encounter an issue with their Galaxy watches where steps are being counted even when they are cycling or driving. Although not a significant problem, it is a topic that arises from time to time. There are two possible reasons behind this issue: one straightforward and one slightly less obvious.

Recently, I had the opportunity to hike in the Eifel region of Germany. The distance of the hike was rather long — 22km.

Once, while walking not far from my home, I noticed a label on a tree and took a photo. Later, I googled the term “E1” and discovered a huge topic that I had never heard of before — European long distance paths. As someone who enjoys hiking; having read about the Pacific Crest Trail, the Appalachian…
Samsung Health is a rather advanced app which supports scenarios most of the people do not think about. For example, if you have several fitness wearables connected to your phone. Like a galaxy watch and a band. Note: if you need to disable step counting on a Garmin watch – check this article It also…
Note: I’m still collecting information about OneUI 6 and Galaxy Watch 7 features.The good news is: as far as I know AGI and Energy Score do work with any Android phone. The question “what features” will I lose if I use Galaxy Watch 4/5/6/7 with a non-Samsung phone is raised very often. Alternatively, many people simply…
Usually people make year-results posts in the very begging of the next year. Some services like Strava do this even earlier. I do this now (in February) and I do this using my main health application — Samsung health. First part is a simple one — steps. In 2022 I walked less steps than in…
