Is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Good for Fitness?

Question

I'm in the market for a smartwatch that is more fitness oriented. How well does the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 perform in this regard?

Answer 1

For fitness enthusiasts, many have put the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 among the best smartwatches, given that it is designed for fitness purposes first. It is also comfortable, integrates a fitness application, and the best part is, there is no need to carry the phone when going for a run. In cases when it is coupled with the phone, the two deliver a rather seamless combine that some users even prefer over the Apple watch altogether.

I'm with you on the running thing - I got an AWU and cellular plan so no longer need my phone on me for runs.  I was a Windows PC / Android user for years, and switched to iPhone in 2018.  The "system" isn't perfect, but it's great and I would say my excellent MBP Max, AWU, and entire family on iPhones keeps me in this ecosystem.  Glad to hear Samsung/Android has upped their game because competition is good for everyone.

I switched to Samsung (S23+, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, ear buds pro, Tab S8+) and a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop several months ago.  Its been a mixed bag.  I do like the fact that I can use Google messages on my laptop and tablet too.  Unfortunately, the one area Samsung cannot keep up is with Music.  As a semi-professional drummer all the apps I use work better on iPad and not the Tablet.  Dex is a neat capability which I have never needed.  The watch is the best Android watch I have used and really close to Apple Watch.  The S23+ is pretty nice too but the face unlock is not good and if my hands are dry the finger print scanner doesn’t work.   The call quality is excellent though.  The ear buds pro are good but they will not stay in my ears.  Like I said a mixed bag…great content.  Thanks

Still you have note used where you can add same phone number on your watch so you can recieve messages & calls without your phone & you can obviously reply your notifications and access multiple apps in the watch itself
