Penguins, koalas, and flashy animations aren't going to overcome the garbage sensors in Galaxy watches. Any health tracking app is useless if the information it gets is wrong: garbage in, garbage out. When a $150 Garmin can demolish a $600 Samsung watch.... Add to that the fact that Galaxy watches depreciate 70% in a year, and I'm done with them.

Need to put an, asterisk * in this about the health tracking.

MOST of it will not work unless it is paired to a SAMSUNG phone. 😉

These watches are so expensive. The average person has their phone on them all the time and would be better off with something from Amazfit.

I don't think anyone buys a smartwatch for value retention... Just sayin

Maybe. Those are the idiots shocked when they want to trade their watch in and are $250 upsidedown on the transaction. 😋

I have an Apple Watch Series 11 and I actually preferred my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.


I haven't used Garmin, but the UI is so clunky and not intuitive on Apple watches. Nonetheless, the lack of customization and live widgets your watch face.


Galaxy watches are miles ahead of Apple. Maybe not in the sensors themselves? But I haven't really seen a difference.


Maybe Garmin is that much better? 🤷‍♂️
