Here you will find all the articles about Samsung Galaxy Watches 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.
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…
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.

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…
Is a Galaxy Watch a useful tool for a regular person from the health data point of view? A great question! Let’s check what useful health information (from my point of view) it can provide to a regular person (so, sport related features are not included in the list): Steps Counting Walking is one of…
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…
