Thanks. Yeah I smashed my shin on this ledge once before I had the shin guards. It was really bad. I wasn't willing to try box jumps on this ledge again until I got the shin guards.
I've had 2 watches from Samsung both are terrible for fitness and general health tracking. If you started training I don't think you will have any problems however if you have been training for some months to years then you start to realise that Samsung struggle with delivering. Don't get me wrong, they are brilliant smart watches with amazing life battery incredibly good looking never had a problem outside of tracking but if you are into fitness I strongly advise against buying these as I had to change 3 times. Here's what I found myself annoyed with. No external HR monitor ability, no HR broadcast (for Zwift? or GPS headunit for cycling) terrible GPS tracking, it won't pick up a signal for almost a mile. After suffering with Samsung for long enough I changed over to Garmin 245. Best decision ever!
I know this video is over 4 years old. Still thought I'd give it a go with a question. How did the shoes hold up for soccer? I'm personally trying to find some barefoot shoes to use for soccer. They don't really come by easy, so these stills seem to be the best option out there
Nice review mate, just bought this watch! Pretty happy with it so far! Was nice to see Brisbane as well haha, I been in NZ last few years def miss Brisbane! Those stairs at Kangaroo point I used to run them too 🤣then back to south bank over the bridge and towards Towong which is where I used to live! Great city for fitness, miss the weather as well haha!
Great review, how about accurate gps? Im using 46mm, but when running with samsung health gps not accurate.. but when run with mymaprun app on watch gps accurate mymaprun and can see live track mapping on watch, or run with strava on watch gps is accurate.. but i like detail status on samsung health..
So in phone you can choose your workout to snowboarding. But samsung healthy app in the watch dont have that option. I would want that because i want to measure my heart rate when im snowboarding. Do you know how to get more work outs to the watch?
I was thinking I would take these on the overland track in Tasmania as a hut shoe, and also a backup shoe. The primary pair I'll take is the Vivo tracker boots.
Does the stopwatch feature not show tenths and hundredths? Is there a way to start/stop using manual buttons instead of a countdown like it showed when you started walking?
That wasn't the Stopwatch app. The countdown start is just for starting tracking an activity like walking, running, cycling etc. The Stopwatch app shows hundredths of a second and has start, stop, lap, resume, reset buttons that show on the screen.
Hey Ray, I'm glad to see that you're safe and doing well. I've been with you since you first got the Frontier :D How are you liking the watch 3 since making this video and how does it compare to the frontier for you? My husband's doesn't track steps and distance as accurately as my frontier :/
Hey Nabiyah1, good to hear from you. My Frontier died from water damage. I love my Watch 3. I haven't noticed a big difference between the Frontier and my new Watch 3. If my Frontier hadn't died I would have stayed with it. The watch 3 does have a water lock feature, so hopefully that will help it last longer. Do you have any idea why your husband's Watch 3 doesn't track steps and distance as accurately as your frontier?
@@RayHope Thank you so much, I just subscribed. You definitely did a good job testing that watch. Before I didn't know how to use all the exercise in the watch but you explained well. Next I hope you did same test for Samsung watch 4 and Apples watch.
Thanks so much! I'm thinking about buying this watch, but can you tell me if watch 3 really track your calories based on your heart rate or just based on some calculation method like older versions of samsung watches?
I got this watch the other day, haven't really tested in detail like you....I am kinda disappointed it doesn't accurately checks the reps if at all... I also looked about a jumping rope exercise and it didnt have it on the watch it has it on the phone only. Found online that someone reached Samsung to ask them about that and when they would add it on the phone as well so it can track your pulse and they answered they wont because they want to keep it simple. Which is total BS answer to me. This is my first smart watch and I thought technology is good enough by now and worth it but I am afraid it needs years more of improvement sensors etc and for now is more just a toy.
Amazing review. I have an Apple Watch but a Galaxy S20+ so I have to use my Apple Watch with my wife's old iPhone. Seeing this video I'll definitely buy the Watch 3 and end all the double usage madness(just don't like iOS as much, I like Android more and was a long term Apple user earlier). My main reason to buy a smartwatch is fitness tracking and I was a bit apprehensive about Watch 3's fitness tracking as people go on and on about Apple being the best for it. But your video really helped in showing all I can expect out of it, I am more than satisfied. Thank you so much. Wishing you all the best for all that you ever look forward to do. Cheers and you seem like such a nice chap too 😊
My watch 3 is counting so many extra steps and I'm not even moving.. im at work and I do shipping so I'm moving my hands quite a bit. Walked 200 steps by just doing shipping for about 2 minutes... any advise?
What are you doing while you do shipping? Are you sitting down at a computer? I've noticed my watch thinks I am bike riding when I push a trolley or a pram. Sometimes it thinks I am bike riding when I drive a car.
@@RayHope im just standing in 1 spot putting stuff in boxes and taping them. Wish it only counted wrist movement when you're physically moving on the gpa
So I thought my Watch3 was already tracking me and my heart rate. I didn't realize you had to enable the record workout . So after an hour of running I had no workout recorded . 😂
I'd like to monitor what heart rate zone I am in while working out. Will the watch show you the hr zone during your workout, or only as a review afterwards?
Yes the watch can show your current heart rate and heart rate zone while using it in workout mode. You can edit the display for each workout and choose what it displays. Options also include Avg heart rate and Max heart rate.
Thanks for the review! I just have some questions as I have the first Samsung galaxy watch & I'm looking to upgrade to another fitness watch. No matter what I'm doing when I track my workouts, the watch loses my heart rate at some point where it is completely not tracked. Have you found this with the Galaxy watch 3? Also, I found that when tracking calories during workouts, the first galaxy watch just generically tracks the average cals burnt depending on what workout you select rather than basing it on your heart rate (so I'd always burn 116 calories after half hour of circuit training regardless of whether I was sat down or working out really hard) which is really frustrating! Is this the case with this watch too? Thank you!
For the call tracking the Galaxy Watch 3 uses the same software as the Galaxy Watch, S Health, so it would do the same. You might be able to find another app that tracks it better.
