ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
This is a story of two teams joining forces to beat a bigger team which individually, they were not going to beat anytime soon. But they are still trying to figure out who plays which roll and with this watch, each is still sort of being a ball hog. These are just growing pains though and I think this is a fantastic combination of Google’s foundation and network, combined with Samsung’s features and hardware
$349 - $379 for different sizes
PHYSICAL DESIGN
Amazing aesthetic that perfectly masks the bezels with mechanical ones
Large colorful display - 1.4” Super AMOLED 450x450px
Slightly larger than Watch4 - at 46mm with 20mm strap
Battery lasts almost two days
5ATM/IP68 water resistance
Default watch strap is odd for small wrists
Also, why would this ship with a silicone strap??? Should be leather default
AOD
Haptics feel nice

HEALTH TRACKING AND ACCURACY
Sleep tracking
HR
GPS
Does not show a start for the first 100 yards - ½ mile but the distance is typically reasonably accurate. Certainly not leading the pack though
Plenty of wandering off the trail
Overall disappointing maps. Works well enough, but not reliable for races
Advanced running metrics
Asymmetry, contact time, flight time, regularity, etc.
Blood oxygen
Stress
Three heart rings - Steps, calories, and active minutes
Blood pressure and ECG
Syncs with a phone to track snoring?
Body composition measurement “98% correlation with DXA measurements”
False! Mine ranged from 13% to about 18% body fat - also skeletal muscle...
CONS:
* Cannot handle WAV audio files
* Silicone strap?
* Body composition is not accurate (my body fat ranged from 13% to 18% and it said I have too much muscle)
* Body composition measurement is awkward when worn on your right wrist
* Watch was snappy, but once I restarted it, it became EXTREMELY laggy and remained laggy until about 5 minutes after turning it on. Definitely not free of bugs
The big change is that you now have joined forces - Samsung and Google for a better experience, but they are still trying to figure out how to play on the same team
