Here you will find all the articles about smartwatches I used personally. What is good, what is bad, how to get the most out of them, and so on. Real personal experience from a real user!
I switched from a Galaxy Watch to a Garmin Venu 3 about a week ago. And this week I have spent learning how to deal with my usual tasks (check “How do I use my Galaxy Watch” article) using my new watch and what new things I can do with it. In this article, I…
In theory, there should be a simple answer to this question – either “yes” or “no”.Unfortunately, the real answer is “it is complicated”. And here is why. 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…
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…
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…
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…
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 heard somewhere that “many” features of a galaxy watch require a Samsung phone. Note: Similar list for Pixel Watches – “Pixel Watch Features Which Require a Pixel Phone“ Below is,…
Samsung health allows people to organize and participate in different step challenges. You do not need to own a watch for that even, but a watch catches steps which a phone cannot (until you always have it in your pocket). Samsung itself offers a global challenges every single month and few special global challenges on…
