Two more weeks of daily usage, and I believe my smartwatch usage scenarios are settled now. Here is what I can add to my “Garmin Venu 3 versus Galaxy Watch – Smart Features Comparison Part 1” – check it out first – it covers the basics. Notifications I have briefly touched on Gamin Venu 3…
First question first, what VO2 Max is and why you should care? According to the Wikipedia VO2 max is “is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion.” Nice, but why should you care?Because VO2 Max is one of the best indicators of your cardio system’s state and has a strong correlation with…
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.

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…
