The poor HRM performance, combined with just how clunky the watch felt on my wrist, made it less than favourable for running. I’d hazard a guess that the inaccurate readings weren’t helped by how much the watch bounced around on my wrist due to its weight. It put my maximum heart rate as high as 200bpm, but generally at 180+, where both other devices were putting me in the 160-170bpm range. Unfortunately, while the GPS was pretty much right on the button when it came to distance compared to the TomTom Spark 3, Samsung Gear Fit2 and Wahoo Fitness Tickr X I wore at the same time, the optical HRM threw up some very inaccurate readings.Ĭhecking the watch while I ran, its bpm reading was often 20 beats higher than the TomTom Spark 3 and Wahoo Fitness Tickr X chest monitor I was wearing. This is all topped off with the returning optical HRM, as seen on the Gear S2.

The GPS is going to be great for more accurately tracking your distance and speed during runs or bike rides, and the barometer and altimeter are going to be popular with hikers and for other outdoor exploits.

It’s actually all very motivating and well implemented.Īll of those sensors I mentioned earlier are what will really appeal to fitness enthusiasts, though – much like how the Apple Watch Series 2 found its footing as a fitness wearable alongside its original smartwatch smarts. Again, you get progress updates and little reward notifications to say when you beat a record or hit your goal. The barometer and altimeter are also used to more accurately track floors climbed, so there’s a specific target for taking the stairs. Fortunately this didn’t happen again, but I would’ve thought the watch could recognise being completely stationary compared with me being asleep. Strangely, when I left the watch in my gym locker during a workout on one occasion, it decided I’d taken an early afternoon siesta and given me some additional sleep time.

Diving into the companion smartphone app shows the full night’s kip at least, and you get a breakdown of motionless, light and restless sleep. So say you woke up an hour or two before your alarm and went back to sleep, the notification might show your sleep time as being only an hour, rather than the total. The sleep tracking was accurate on the whole, but it’s a little strange in that the notification you get on the watch when you wake up can be just one small segment of your sleep. So I could be sat there, typing away, and I’d get a buzz telling me to do a few side-to-side rotations, and the watch would count each rep on the display. You also get reminders to move if you’re sat for too long but, in a novel move, you also get prompts to stretch as well.

You can set a target in the app and you get update prompts on your progress. You really need to exaggerate the movement to get some reps to count.Īs for the step counting, this was a typical affair. I found the actual rep counting a little hit-and-miss, however.

There’s even exercise tracking on certain bodyweight movements such as squats. This is responsible for keeping tabs on all of the usual activity-tracking metrics, such as steps and sleep, and all of this is done automatically. The Gear S3 comes with the S Health app for the watch and the companion app for Android. Samsung Gear S3 – S Health and Fitness Tracking S Health, Fitness Tracking, Battery Life and Verdict Review.
