Underrated channel, everyone should pay a visit to your reviews before buying any fitness tech.

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your content. I found you in a random search while attempting to learn a little bit more about a couple different smart watches and I found your format and pace to be best. You include a wide array of information about the product and tend to hit all of the things someone might actually want to know about the device without going off onto long tangents about unrelated topics. Thank you!

You are seriously the best at these. You cover every question I would have. Thanks for your work and effort!

Don't mind me, just commenting for the UKposts algorithm

Only 97k subscribers? Should be at least 500k for a reviewer of this quality.

I think more fitness-based reviewers like yourself should raise their voices so that Samsung Watches become decent. Nice job!

This is the most detail review i have watched subscribing to your channel ...keep up the Good work men....

I’m missing a comparison to the other devices in the same price range and with similar feature-set and a recommendation based on that. You described it pretty much in isolation from everything else.

Love your tech reviews. Fun to watch and simple videos and in depth and to the point. Keep it up mate! Helped me answer so many questions in just watching your videos 👌🤝

Great review, love your videos. I have been trying to pick one for my workout both indoors and outdoors activities but couldn't make up my mind yet. I'm wondering if most smartwatches is capable to reroute me back to my starting point or able to use previous saved route for navigation? and at the same time still tracking my workout

Love the videos man

Great review! Two questions - looking to connect this watch to Strava for running activities. How does that work? Second, can you set up custom workouts (as you can in Garmin Connect) such as intervals, etc and if so, how would that work? Thanks.

Awesome video!! Please make a video on which smartwatch to buy considering all the factors. That would be really helpful as there have been many new launches and i am all confused.

Great review as always Des!!

Brilliant video as usual, thank you man

Great in-depth review! Thank you!

Thank you so much. Today my child, who has to attend school virtually, needed to record his workout for PE and your video was the only one that helped. If you have made one on how to upload the workout heartrate to the school website, or similar content, please be so kind as to let me know.

I heard it got a bunch of updates fixing lots of problems, I was wondering if you have seen any difference compared to the initial review you gave here? If so is there a possibility for an update video of the improvements if there is any? Either way loved the review good job! 💕

terrific review!! congrats. I'm having lots of trouble with heart rate monitoring during running and cycling, tried to tight and change the clock position with no succes, do you have any suggests? also, can you suggest any good app for interval trainings that i can follow my HR during workout?

One of the best video on Samsung galaxy watch 3 it cleared my all doubts thanks dude 😀🙂

Great review. Very helpful! Thanks!

Do you recommend leaving location setting on or just have it auto enable when doing a movement workout type like running?

Very interesting, thx a lot! Will you do a similar review for the Huawei GT2 pro?:)

Great review ... I received this watch for Christmas ... after several inconsistent reading, I decided to return it. I agree with your comment, if your looking for a watch first, and fitness monitor second ... this would be an excellent choice ... but if you're looking for a fitness first, look else where ... thank you for confirming my experience.

Hi Des! Hope you are well. Thanks for always posting such informative and helpful videos. Quick question--upon testing, how are you finding the apple watch series 6 heart rate accuracy to be? Thanks!

Any chance you would/could test the completely new Garmin D2 Air? For me it seems like a Venu with a bit of more features.. but then again this one seems like active2 with a bit less ram and rom.. looking at every smartwatches for the time being, really doesn't know what to go for. But I'm taking the ATPL, so the more affordable (in the lineup) d2 air is for me somewhat appealing! Very difficult to find any reviews on it atm though. For your information you've become my go-to for the fitness segment! Thank you for such good in-depth videos! Keep it up!

Aesthetically this watch is far superior from the rest of the smart watches but we can't always get all the best in one gadget. Purchased one this week and I'm very happy with it. I'm a fitness trainer so this is a great fit for my job. 💪🏼👟😁 This is one of the most honest and accurate review ever good job Des! 👍🏻💯

Really hope you do one for the galaxy watch 4!

Woohoo. Buying the 6 classic with the rotating bezel. Can hardly wait. My 3 is getting kinda old. Great channel.

Still setting the benchmark for watch tech reviews i see ? Awesome vid boet

great videos, in your opinion whats the best watch for fitness? and the best in a budget? haha thanks in advance

Perfect review!

That was helpful, thanks

On 8k, each time I tried my galaxy watch 3 came on par with my Fenix 5 in terms of distance. Let us not forget that Civilian GPS has at best 10 meters of accuracy, even Apple! Same for average speed, both watches were on par. For some reason, the instant speed is more erratic, especially at low speed. As for the optical HR sensor, well, it is...optical with all its limitations, even when running but this is true for Fenix and Apple too. That is why the impossibility to pair an external HR monitor in BT (such as the Polar H10) is a big, big, drawback, the biggest I would say (the Sporty watch face is not satisfactory and is only a poor work around to my mind). But when the optical sensor works, I never noticed that it was monitoring only every 10 seconds, on the contrary I find it more responsive than the one on the Fenix 5, which is normal considering the Garmin was released 3 years ago. For the advanced metrics, Great, Good, etc... are not precise, I agree but the watch gives you a bracket of values: for instance great contact time in my case is between 100 and 160ms and you can have more precision by looking at the contact time graph on Samsung health. So, the watch gives you more precision. Overall, I agree that if you are interested in or need very detailed running metrics then you should go with a Polar or Garmin instead. Personally, I moved away from Garmin because their retail prices started to become a real joke especially compared to the overall quality of their products (a 935 that lasts only 2 years is a rip-off).

Brilliant....May I request you for an in depth review of the Huawei GT2 pro and compare it with Samsung Active 3 .Thankyou

Nice one - thanks for that!

Great analysis as always! Looking forward to Apple Watch series 6 since your first impression showed some good stuff

Brilliant thanks Des, I wonder if samsung can improve the HR / GPS in some way with software fixes? Or is is still a sensor issue?

Brilliant thorough review, thanks. Could you please test the fitbit sense, would love to hear your thoughts.

Nice vid Des 👍 Things could get interesting once these pretty smartwatches get better gps accuracy and better battery life.

Honest and profesional review. Very helpful. Thanks

Wow. Impressive review. Far, FAR more technical than any of the others out there.

@DesFit thanks for the amazing video. What will be your pick between this and Garmin forerunner 245, majorly for indoor heart rate and stress tracking with accuracy.

Always great! 🔥

love your review🤗

Hi Des! May I request for a review on the Amazfit GTR or GTS, please?

you hit the nail on the head with your last statement. I have the Galaxy watch 3 and use it primarily as a smart watch to accompany my phone. When I want to work out I use my Garmin 235. Having the galaxy watch is great when i go for a long walk or hike and happen to have it on. But when I want to track workouts for accuracy.. GARMIN!

I intend to train for a marathon and will start training tomorrow. Thank you for your informative video, this made my day. I will be using Samsung Smart Watch. I look forward to find out results.

Just ordered a GW4 Classic and am really hoping they improved on some of the accuracy from last generation. I will definitely do some comparisons with my Garmin to see. Hope you review the GW4 / Classic as well, definitely very useful to have a fitness focused review rather than most general tech reviews

Great job, Des! Looks like another mixed bag for Samsung. The rotating dial and screen look amazing. But, it’s disappointing that it still has no ability to pair with external HR straps. And, no one else has all those individual gym exercises. They should just have one strength training profile. It seems like a bother to cycle through each one at the gym. Let’s get onto the Forerunner 655 and the Vantage V2 then!

I watched the video although I don't plan to buy the watch your reviews are amazingly detailed. Don't need to search somewhere else after it. Am waiting for apple watch 6 depth review already watched the overview. Thanks alot and yea liked and subbed of course.

Love DesFit! Great reviews! Great guy!

do u plan maybe to do review of some fitness band's ? like honor band 5 or xiaomi mi band 5 ?

Very good review ... as always

Thanks Des. I have been waiting for this one. I too noticed the sampling rate on the GW3 was "too smoothed". I was wondering if you tried any third-party apps on the watch to capture your data (MapMyRun, Strava, or Endomondo) and, if so, if you saw any differences. For mine, I see consistently 10-20bpm lower HR on those apps than on the Samsung native app, for some reason.

Hi Des, really enjoying your work! Super informative and in-depth. I've only just started looking into getting a smartwatch for fitness and one of the things I'm struggling to keep up with is how these watches stack up against alternatives, and whether something new has come along that I might have missed. I came to your channel to find out about the Fitbit Sense, but now I'm waiting to see how the Apple Watch 6 stacks up fitness-wise vs the Garmin Venu... I get that scoring isn't really helpful but do you have anywhere you keep a list of your recommended devices as they come along during the year?

Just got my it's nice

Thanks good review.

Great review. I just got this watch and am trying to display my workout like you did. Can you list what apps you installed to get these screens? Thanks!

very detailed, well done

Hi, amazing review. Thank you for your input . Really good channel . Just wanted to ask for advice. If I was to use the watch and sync it with strava . Shall I use strava app (on the watch) to track my MTB ride or would you use the samsung cycle generic whats on the watch and allow it to sync with the strava. does it make sense ? :)

My fav smart watch reviewer 🥰🥰

Great review! How is the heart rate accuracy versus a Fenix 6? I guess Apple is best here but my understanding is that Garmin Elevate is decent. Just can’t live with that 18h battery life 😬

Great review Des. Would you consider doing a review of the actual software for watch manufacturers? I've moved from Fitbit to Garmin and I found the software, from a lifestyle point of view, a bit of a let down. I would be a happy bunny if I could use my Garmin watch with the Fitbit software. It might be a minefield but this not often explored in detail. Keep up the good work! Cheers drew 👍

Thank you so much for verifying my suspicion. I had the Galaxy Active 2 which was horrible for fitness tracking, and just terrible in general. Especially battery life. I was going to hold out for the Galaxy 3, but took your suggestion and bought the Coros Pace 2 instead. Couldn't be happier!!! Fitness tracking is amazing and the battery life? Wow!! I received mine a week ago with 75% battery from the factory. I wore it for a week and just charged it yesterday and it was still at 19%!!! I couldn't get more than a day out of my Active 2. Thank you so much for your reviews and your spot on suggestion! BTW, I read you personally wear a Polar H10, so I found one used last week and love it as well. Keep up the good work!

Any chance of getting a review of the Ticwatch Pro 3?

LOVELY REVIEW

This is the best review i viewed for Samsung watch3

Thank you for your review. I am deciding on which watch I want to get and just I listened to your review on the apple watch series 6 vs garmin fenix 6. I love both apple and garmin products. I was deciding between a Garmin and the new Samsung 4 watch. You go into great detail on your reviews/videos. Its very helpful. Thank you again.

Thank for the review, been waiting for it. I am worried about the weight of the watch, with the rotating bezel and the size how does it compared to galaxy watch active 2?

I am watching every video from past years just to listen this guy throwing facts after facts

Very glad you did point out heavy lifting is speed up by 5 times!

Great video. Indoor rower here. I cannot count on wrist based HRM while rowing. So, I use a chest strap. Do you know if you can link the chest strap to Samsung Health app while working out and it overrides the watch heart rate? I like the features on the new watch and if I can incorporate the chest strap, I might get one. I have a fitbit and it will not connect to the chest strap HRM.

Hi and Great channel! Which watch are you using? And what is your recommendation for a watch mainly used for gym workouts and measure kcal sleep etc...

would very much appreciate it if you could revisit the samsung galaxy active 2 after all the new software updates, as that watch and this one have many things in common

Thank you so much for ur review. But which professional watch will u recommend for workout?

Great content, man! I'm deciding whether to try this samsung watch 3, though I have an iPhone, or to buy the much more expensive apple watch. I currently use Nike run club app with my phone, but the thing is I don't want to bring my phone when running. I'm assuming all these data you collected was without your phone around, right? Otherwise, I don't really think I gain much by buying a smartwatch.

I ended up returning my vivoactive 4 in for a venu and after 2 weeks of wearing the venu, i decided to trade the venu in for a galaxy watch 3. At the end of the day, the garmin does a lot of things really well, but i find the UI, the app and the overal vibe of the watch a bit boring. It's just not a really sexy device, and feels a tad sluggish. Which is a shame , because I know the Samsung underperforms in some categories, and the garmin is really good at sports, but i just like the design of both the software and the hardware a bit more. Then again, i just want a nice watch that I can use to track my walks, weightlifting and cycling, and Samsung seems ok enough for my usecases. All in all, the garmin venu is probably the better watch pound for pound, but as far as a "lifestyle product" goes, i stopped enjoying the aesthetics of it in less than a week, and will have to settle for better looks with worse features. A matter of whatever you prioritize I guess 🤤

Thanks for this great review, I'm brand new to Android and want to get a new smart watch since I have purged my life of all things Apple!

Came across this review, very informative & well put together - thanks. I'm looking for a fitness tracker more so than a smart watch (to replace my fitbit versa where the heart rate sensor has huge inconsistencies). Any top recommendations for a wearable fitness tracker with an accurate hear rate sensor? Thanks again. (Ooooo, and not Apple please)

I'm currently using a Polar M400 (and a chest strap for heart rate) to record my daily steps and activities such as walks and weight training. How would something like the Galaxy Watch 3 compare to the Polar M400 if we're talking about the GPS and heart rate and so on. Worth the upgrade if I'm in the market for a smartwatch?

when are you planning on posting the full detailed review/analysis of the Apple Watch SE? I'm waiting to see it before I make a purchase. Thanks!

Computers generally don't measure anything continuously. Presumably they have a fast enough measurement rate that it won't matter. Thanks for posting! Subscribed!

Great review, Thanks!! What is your opinion when you compare this one with Garmin Venu? Which one is better?

Des. Great video as always. I'll stick with Garmin for now, lol. May I ask.. would it be possible for you to do a review of the Tag heuer connected. I know this is a luxury smart watch.. but, man.. I would love to hear your experience with it. The problem, is that the ONLY reviews on this are from people who have ZERO experience with activity.

an actual review, not just repeating what the manufacturers say on their spec sheets!

Hii!! Could you test the huawei gt 2 pro please? thx and nice review

Hey @desfit really appreciate the video. Just wanted to ask you if you had reviewed the Lte or Bluetooth version? Thanks man

I seriously considered the Venu or Galaxy Watch 3 for their prices and beautiful screens. I loved my old Samsung's ability to know I was running without having to start any app on the watch, but I just can't get away from the feeling that the Fenix remains the king. I pulled the trigger on Fenix 6 Pro this morning and hoping it's half the watch I think it is. Thanks for your reviews, Des. You're my go-to reviewer.

A great video. You always tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I have the Gear sport and I will wait until Samsung improves on their smart watches. You saved me 600.00 dollars. Stay safe brother.

Great insight.. You’re very busy reviewing lots of new stuffs these days.. What sportwatch do you use daily?

I'm pretty sure you can see details for the advanced running metrics in the health app

Thank you for your existence

I want to buy some good android smart watch which I can connect and use with chest belt. What should I choose? What is the best choice? Thanks. If it would have NFC and LTE would be Nice.

great review. Better than a few others with higher views.

Great video. i took my active 2 back and passed on the Galaxy 3. Samsung has to bring more watch power to the table. My Apple watch is just more versatile. also the heart shape fitness tracker with the pink really bothered me as a man and you cant change the colors. galaxy 3 is to bulky and i cant sleep with it. Active 2 was sleek but again not as powerful as my apple watch. sleep functions are better with apple watch. Galaxy active watches are the key to beating apple watch but they have to give it power 💪 to compete. Apple watch has better fitness accuracy in my runs outside. thanks again

Glad I got a fenix 6 pro to me it's the best fitness first smartwatch, but damn I kinda wish I got it in the blue color like yours looking sharp

Appreciate the depth, good review. But would've been more helpful if you showed on the screen which other devices you were comparing to.

Could you do a video on the best watches for different purposes e.g best running watch, best multi sport etc

I want to be totally upset but your right so of my runs have been off. I use the Lte and I’ve run the same track for year’s so I know where a mile stops and start. It does show me in buildings at times it’s not a hardware problem it’s a software issue coming from a programmer view. On the other hand my heart rate works perfectly I test it every workout to make sure that I’m getting the same heart rate and calories as the equipment says. But using the circuit tracking that’s when I get incorrect calories, but the heart rate sensor is spot on again software issues. My ECG is turned on so that may be the difference. I’ve never watch a Apple Watch video because I’m not buying an iPhone to get a watch, so like you dragged Samsung for ECG be sure to drag Apple Watch for not even paring that’s locking out. Still a good video I was just hoping it scored better coming from a gear sport to a watch 3 your video was what I was waiting on maybe next year 😞
