The Galaxy Watch 3 looks great, but some health features will have to wait
The Galaxy watch three has the elegance of the original galaxy watch.
plus all the great fitness features of the galaxy watch active two.
It's also promising a lot of good health features that might not be ready for primetime
[MUSIC]
The Galaxy watch three brings back that physical rotating bezel that we loved from the original galaxy watch which allows you to control the interface without touching the screen.
It's gonna be available in two different sizes of 41 millimeter option and a 45 millimeter option in three different finishes for the stainless steel version.
Silver, bronze and black.
Now the black will also be available in titanium, but it will only be available for the larger 45 millimeter one.
It will start at 399.
But that's for the Bluetooth.
The only version you can also get LTE and or titanium so the price can slowly start to creep up.
Looks aside this watch is very similar to the galaxy watch active two and that's because it doesn't have any new sensors and it has a lot of the same fitness features and that might not necessarily be a bad thing.
It tracks up to 40 different activities seven of those automatically.
It has a five ATM rating, meaning you can swim with it up to 50 meters and it's also got a built in GPS.
This time around, it's adding a feature where you can sync it to the galaxy Health app and actually do workout videos from your phone or your TV and be able to receive the prompts on your wrist.
Another cool new feature is the running coach though the active two already had a running coach, but this time it's exciting.
Spending on it by giving you real time feedback about your gait, your balance, and then it gives you an analysis or a report at the end of your run that will show you how you can improve on your run for next time and reduce injury.
In theory, you're going to be able to take your blood oxygen levels on this.
Watch and it's gonna be using vo two max to calculate fitness level and recovery.
However, there is a big caveat with all these features and that is that they're not going to be available at launch all the new running features as well as the SPO.
Two tracking will have to wait until later this year and Samsung says that they will be releasing a software update It also has an electrocardiogram or ECG app that just received [INAUDIBLE] Clearance and can tell you if your heart rhythm is indicative of [INAUDIBLE] And that blood pressure monitoring app that we've seen on other galaxy devices but that one is still Pending clearance and both will only be available in South Korea at lunch.
What you will get out of the box though, is a new fall detection feature or what Samsung calls trip detection, which essentially does the same thing as the Apple Watch Series four and above, which is it's triggered by a hard fall and immediately calls an emergency contact and shares the location.
You'll also get more robust sleep tracking it now we'll be able to track.
For different stages of sleep and give you a deeper analysis of each one, not only the duration but also the quality and give you a sleep score at the end of your night so that you can go back and improve night overnight.
It's giving you tips on how to do this as well.
[MUSIC].
Based on what we've heard, the design and the look of this watch is one of the most attractive features, especially for that price considering that the active two has a lot of the same features, but obviously, we haven't tested it out yet but we will be doing so in the coming weeks.
