The watch is satisfactory in most respects. Although I wouldn't recommend them to riders, everything else seems to be in working order. Many advantages: Lovely watch. They have one significant shortcoming, which will be addressed in the following section, which prevents them from being excellent. According to the experts: - Just a regular battery. The battery life is around two to three days when the activity and sleep tracking features are turned off, and approximately one day when both features are enabled. The screen is excellent, and all content can be seen well even while the window is open. The watch itself is quite attractive and is worn very comfortably. The watch has a leather band that comes with it. It appeared before the purchase that this was a disadvantage; nonetheless, the strap turned out to be pleasant, and it has been serving its purpose for the past year. A solid collection of software, a reliable GPS, the capability to accept or decline a call directly from the watch, and many more features. Some cons: - A workout widget that is not adjustable. Cycling, running, swimming, and other forms of exercise cannot be carried out on it in any capacity, as this is its default setting. A trivial matter, but there is such a thing. - The cycling mode, which has had faulty functionality ever since the watch was introduced to the market and which Samsung has now successfully patched. On the one hand, it is beneficial and convenient, but on the other side, it calculates everything inaccurately if part of the distance was traveled during a break. As an illustration, I went for a bike ride at the park the other day. I'm going to the metro, everything is fine, I'm going to the park on the metro, I pause the bicycle training monitoring, everything is fine, I arrive, I take off the pause, and now the fun can begin: I'm going to the park on the metro. 1) The total amount of miles traveled on the bike includes the distance traveled during the halt in the ride. 10 km by bike + 10 km by subway on pause + 20 km by bike = 40 km by cycle. It's not pleasant, but unfortunately that's the way things are. 2) The watch will "please" the user with the message that the current speed is 499 kilometers per hour as soon as the pause button is released if a sufficiently long distance was traveled while the pause was active. Something along the lines of, "Wow, you're going unreasonably fast on this bike; watch out for the curves!" Felt like a fighter pilot, in general. 3) The amount of distance covered during the stop has an impact on the average speed; once the pause is over, the average speed is between 45 and 50 kilometers per hour. On a bike, certainly. 4) The speed that is displayed on the phone inside Samsung Health for portions of the path traveled while pausing is in the neighborhood of 30,000 kilometers per hour. 5) As a consequence of all that has been discussed up until this point, other programs, such as Strava, flag imported workout tracking as inaccurate. In addition, the adjustment must be quite minor; all that is required is to omit the distance covered during the pause from the calculations of the total training distance, maximum speed, and average speed respectively. I have reached out to Samsung support multiple times with this issue, and the first time was exactly one year ago; nevertheless, no one seems to care, and the issues are still present. However, the issue that was occurring with the Cycling mode can be remedied by downloading the application made available by Strava onto the watch. Once the application is installed, everything is regarded as accurate there, and the distance traveled during the pause does not impact the tracking of the bike trip.
