Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: Fitness and finesse

Wait, what, where's the Watch 2? There is no such device, with Samsung's follow-up Apple Watch rival going straight to mk3 for its second gen release.

Attractive design and fully round screen ; Smaller and lighter than original ; Rotating bezel is brilliant ; Great running tracking features

Battery life isn't great ; Third-party music apps are slow and inconsistent ; Not as many popular apps/services as Apple Watch/Wear OS

The second-gen Galaxy Watch refines rather than reinvents the design of the original, delivering a more feature-packed wrist-worn wearable with additional finesse. It is pricier this time around though.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 video review: The best smartwatch on Android?

Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3 ticks all the right boxes for Android owners looking for a comprehensive smartwatch experience, so what's the catch?

Full-fledged smartwatch experience ; Physical rotating bezel ; Responsive auto-activity tracking ; Advanced running metrics ; Premium health features provided free

ECG function still unusable in Singapore ; HRM sensor needs an upgrade ; Battery-life vs. first-gen Galaxy Watch ; Price

Samsung Galaxy Watch3 review

Saying that smartwatches have become an integral part of our lives would be an overstatement but we are (probably) headed in that general direction. And...

Premium build, nice and light feel.

Disappointing battery life, even compared to its predecessor.

Still, there are some hurdles that even Samsung wasn't able to get through and the biggest one is battery life. Going beyond two days on the 41mm version is a struggle to say the least. And another big hurdle is the ECG certification. It's sad to see...

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: The (other) smartwatch you should buy

If you own an Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 should be at the top of your smartwatch shopping list. It's expensive, but worth it.

Stylish, traditional watch looks ; Attractive, reliable software ; Brilliant rotating bezel aces the control system ; Comprehensive health-tracking features ; Solid battery life

Questionable fitness-tracking accuracy ; Slow battery charging
