Advertisement As a pure smartwatch, it’s hard to fault the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. It’s arguably the most desirable non-Apple wearable thanks to its good looks, super screen and innovative rotating dial.
But there are weaknesses. Tizen OS is great, but it doesn’t have the range of apps Apple and Google do. The battery life could be better and Samsung’s insistence on trying to make the Bixby virtual assistant a thing is growing tiresome. Most damagingly of all, although it offers superb customisation and insights for runners, GPS accuracy is questionable and the Samsung Health app doesn’t present your data in a useful fashion.
