With software update 14.15, Garmin added “detection of breathing variations during sleep” support to my Venu 3. Some other models have this feature out of the box, and others received it via update too. Unlike HRV and many other features, there’s no article about breathing variation detection on Garmin’s website – at least I haven’t…
Galaxy Watches have a set of features which work with a Samsung Phone only (and some of them with a specific galaxy models only). Originally, Google’s Pixel Watch was completely phone agnostic. Probably, because the watch simply did not have features integrated with a phone that deeply. This has changed, and now Pixel Watch has…
On this site I have an article about how I prepare a strength workout in Garmin Connect to follow it later in a gym (read “Strength Training with a Garmin: Before You Go to a Gym” and “Strength Training with a Garmin: In a Gym” for details). These articles were written before Garmin added Strength…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Recently I got 3rd vaccination against coronavirus. The timetable is: I noticed no symptoms of the vaccinations. OK, probably, I felt a bit tired. But, nothing significant — a bad-sleep night would get more significant results. This made me wonder if I can find any signs of the impact in my health metrics. Probably, I…
From time to time, I see articles (and youtube videos) called like “Sportwatch X 1000 miles later”. Such titles made me wonder how many steps and what distance I walked together with my galaxy watch 3. How strong is our relationship? In the previous article “How many times I walked though the Europe with my…
I have been using Samsung watches since 2019. I started with gear sport — a nice watch with a rather unique design and later upgraded to galaxy watch 3. Like many other smartwatch users, I mostly pay attention to the current numbers. Weekly reports and global challenges and personal bests help a bit to keep…
