Review on SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch (46Mm by Som Chai ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

This is definitely a male model. I chose watches for a long time, looked closely at specialized, sports brands, but everyone was embarrassed by the screen, after all, in the 21st century, I want a bright, clear picture, without sacrificing functionality. As for merit. It is the sports component that interests me in this watch. Impressed with the quality of the heart rate sensor. If we take a chest heart rate sensor as a standard (I use POLAR H7 in training), then the coincidence of the readings is approximately 96 - 98%. The only caveat is that it measures a little slower from the wrist (that is, the correct reading comes with a delay of a couple of seconds), but this is logical, because it is farther from the source. The rest of the sensor is good. If you have interval training and you get sudden changes in heart rate, then of course, in this case, a chest heart rate monitor is indispensable. And for cycling, running and swimming, the watch is very even. Details of disadvantages. In the first 2 days (battery when buying 90%), I did not use the watch very actively: I got acquainted and set up the device in 1.5 hours, then during the day I sometimes checked the time, skimmed notifications several times (it’s still uncomfortable to watch them from the watch, rather fix the fact of receipt), a couple of times I watched the weather. On the second day, I started the morning with a workout in the park (1.5 hours: running, cycling, workout). As a result, the device was discharged in exactly 2 days. Although the battery life is declared twice as high. Already at 15% of the charge (it was at 17:00 on the second day), the phone asked to switch to power saving mode, which means just showing the time, the rest is blocked)) Easily loses connection with the smartphone (even without being discharged to zero). Because of this, at least, time can start to go astray, you need to pay attention to this. I faced it. ps Representatives of the brand said that you can swim in the watch (but NOT in sea water). This information is worth checking. Subsequently, I ated the firmware. After a full discharge / charge, the watch works stably for at least (but not more than) 3 days with an average intensity of use.

Pros
  • Harmonious strict design. Amazing screen. Bright, clear, smooth operation. They work smart. TIZEN is inspiring so far. Nice set of workouts. Good connection with GPS and fairly high accuracy of the heart rate sensor.
Cons
  • Somewhat disappointed with the battery. Synchronization with a smartphone. Loses connection easily.
