Watch 3

Right on. For me #2 is more important. OPW3 tracks activities well, but it doesn't do anything with that data. Training load, readiness, monitoring recovery, set Garmin apart and don't require new sensors. But if we can get new sensors, high blood pressure monitoring would be great. Right now OPW3 i

It takes energy to track sleep. I find the battery line on the OPW3 to be amazing. The 2 wasn't awesome and I had the opportunity to get a 3 with an OP13 so I gave the 2 to our son because now he has no excuse to not answer our texts. 😂

I've had a Samsung watch from every generation starting from the gear S3. I really liked the more classic look. The 7 series was the first time I got something below the top of the line because the Ultra was just so ugly. I was so excited to get the 8 classic until I saw it. I know people say it loo

I also switched from the GW4C, and my general experience is that Samsung gave way more generous sleep scores, regardless of the actual quality. Same goes for calorie consumption, the same workout with GW4 "burned" about 30% more calories compared to what the OPW3 tracks and calculates, or what the t

It's been heartbreaking for me too, but at the end of the day, pretty much all smartwatches have this lifecycle. It's really a shame because with that build quality I am expecting it to last much longer. I was actually looking forward to the Pixel Watch 4, but when I heard the battery will be only m

You are referring to sleep stages, which are notoriously inaccurate on a watch. Some devices are better at estimating them, but a watch is simply not the right device if you are serious about tracking sleep stages to begin with. For general sleep tracking, such as hours slept and naps tracking, the

They're both accurate for HRM. The OPW3 does not do HRV.

My wife has a opw3 43mm and after using it for a bit it's a fine watch. Well built, great battery life, good sensors and good software, but in terms of nerd level training and stats it's just not there. It's a bit on the competent but a bit casual side. I can't say about Samsung. Pixel watch is defi

Having the OPW3 would definitely be the "smarter" choice, but you right, I would not be using the watch for the calulator, play games, or even potentially taking phone calls. Replaying text, music control, sleep tracking and light fitness tracking are the only things I care about. The Fitbits (charg

The problem with Pixel Watches is that they are made of glass that scratches so easily and being a huge bubble means they are so prone to getting knocked. It's even possible for certain clothing material to leave micro scratches. The only way to prevent this is to put a case on it, but that just tot
