Good Deal?

Yes the galaxy watch has quick access to Samsung health available in oneui to measure body composition check the exercise intensity stress levels and the gw8 has antioxidant index. For me the most important are the sleep coaching and the exercise tracker 👏🔥

Talk to me about battery life!

Im also a 12-hour healthcare worker, switched over to Zflip 7 from my iPhone 15 Pro. I love the flip, it fits in my scrubs pockets so much better vs iPhone always trying to shimmy its way out every time I lean over or crouch down.

Sleep Tracking. Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature an actual joke?

I can tell you the GW8 sleep functions DO NOT WORK. Rest assured it's not you or wrist fitment/ tightness. It doesn't work. It's the software NOT the sensors for me.

Question and advice

I've had a Samsung watch from every generation starting from the gear S3. I really liked the more classic look.

Need help to pick my first smart watch

I just bought the Galaxy Watch 8, specifically for the blood pressure sensing thing. Guess what feature isn't available if you don't have a Samsung smartphone? The blood pressure sensing thing. (And ECG.) And it's absolutely a pure software limitation: for the GW4 there are hacked APKs that make it

Android vs. Apple – my honest day-to-day experience after years in both worlds

When I switched to iphone I started hating the walled garden apple had created, yes the camera was impressive, I felt cool walking around with it but when I noticed that you can't get custom apps or apks and also have these increased prices due to the 30 percent tax, I immediately got a Samsung. Yes
