Everything related to health, from the number of steps a person really needs per day to HRV monitoring.
Spoiler: Initially I was wrong! Have you seen these meme pictures like the two below? I see them relatively often in the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch communities. To be fair – this situation happened to me regularly as well. This always made me smile and was a base for in-family jokes. Until I switched…
I have been using my Garmin Venu 3 already for a few weeks, and now I can start comparing it with the Galaxy Watch in the health department. First, what I noticed is the fundamentally different approaches Garmin and Samsung have. When I use Samsung Health I have to guess how this or that feature…
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…
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…

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…
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…
I would like to describe which data about my swimming exercises Samsung Health collects and provides to me. By the way, similar level of details is provided for other sport activities, but here I focus on swimming. Note: I also use my galaxy watch for other sport activities, like hiking and for gym. First things first, for each…
Mostly all fitness trackers, by default, suggest 10 000 steps as a daily steps goal. The number looks pretty good. However, it has there is no research behind it.
