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!
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…

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…
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…
Google apps assumed to be an important benefit of WearOS. But when I upgraded my Galaxy Watch 3 to Galaxy Watch 4 I found that I do not use them that much. Moreover, my first interaction with google map was… not navigation but disabling navigation for driving mode. By default, when I started car navigation…
Let’s say you want to see a classic watch face during working hours and a fancy one all other times. Or one watch face when you are at home, and another one when you are in the office, and a third one when you are sitting in your favorite bar. Or one watch face before…
Generally, I’m not after extremely precise track accuracy for my watch (Samsung Galaxy Watch 4) records for my workouts. I’m fine with the tracks it records for my walks and hikes. But from time to time I zoom in deep enough. And a few times the tracks looked a bit off. For instance, this hiking…
