Four things I already like about the Galaxy Watch 8

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Today starts shipping, and I just got my hand on one Watch8 classic Model to start reviews. You have to wait a little for the entire report, but here I am enjoying (and inquiries).

I’m new to Galaxy watches in general, but I have reviewed Pixel And Apple Watches, not to mention a lot Garmins And Other fitness clocksHere are my first impressions in which I like, and in the coming days, the things I encourage the most excited.

As promised, the Watch 8 Classic comes with a bezel that rotates, and the rotation is tied to scrolling the behavior on whichever screen is watching. On the face of the main clock, it takes you to information or your tiles, which otherwise you will swipe sideways to see.

Turning the rotating bezel really looks good: it has a smooth speed with subtle, soft click. I showed it to my teenage son, who agreed that it was nice, but then he laughed when I said, “And it does the same to swipe in this way.”

Bezel is actually adding nothing to his experience of the clock. I think because the same OS is on all the watch 8 models, but only the classic has rotating bezel. It still sounds like a waste of attempt, though. On clocks with buttons and a crown, like one Koros Or Suunto Running watch, scroll wheel gives you a way to easily scroll your fingers with a button on the right. On the galaxy, scroll with bezel Less Convenient to just swipe on the screen. The clock also has a crown -shaped button, which I wooed to scroll. It is surrounded by bumper that prevents you from getting your thumb and finger around it, which I have to guess that there may be an attempt to control that temptation.

I also came to know that the direction of scrolling has been felt backwards. Scrolling on the left (leftover) is equal to the right swipe. At least vertical scrolling makes more understandable: clockwise takes you under the page.

Running dynamics really understand

These days a lot of watches will measure your ongoing mobility: how much time your foot spends on the ground, how much you have a boom, and so on. (Are they doing so Accurately? I am not sure, but this is a different question.) Pixel watch and many gamin watches do this.

Galaxy Watch 8 is the first clock I have seen that clearly shows this data in a clear way that you can tell what it means. After a trail run this morning, check this result in my post-run summary:

Orange matrix requires improvement, green is good, and blue is great.

Even during the run, there was a screen that showed the symmetry of my strid in real time. (It was good, apparently.) I want them to call it “symmetry” instead of “asymmetry”, however. I am eager to see how different this matrix will be when I take it out for a sharp road run on the flat ground.

Heart rate fields are transparent and favorable for you

Most devices actually display your heart rate areas without telling you how they are calculated. And, worse, most devices calculate your areas Age-based formulas that are wrong for many people,

On Watch 8, when I first saw my areas, a small note at the top was that they were based on my maximum heart rate, and the note also gave the number that it considers my maximum heart rate.

This morning after my run, I received a notice that my maximum heart rate estimated, based on the fact that the clock had recorded high heart rate during my run. Now, I know this is not my true Max, because I did not do an all-out run, but it was good to see that the clock is active about keeping my zone up to date. And tell me.

Clock faces are very good

Watch on the right is face running-specific he has suggested. I like it!

I am a sucking for good aesthetics, so one of the first few things I did was to check the Watch Face Gallery. There were many good, including many astronomical-theme analog faces. I like digital, however, so I clearly chose something with a lot of room for readable time and data complications.

However, the best thing is that after my run I received a notice whether I would like to try a run-centered watch face. I tapped the “Parivartan” and immediately had a watch face that was similar to the one I selected, but in it my Vo2max estimates, my most recent run length and a button that I could tap to start a run.

Of course I tried the antioxidant index

I think it’s clever, but I really don’t know how right it is. To know how healthy your diet is (in the context of vegetables and their antioxidants) you remove the clock, remove it from you, and hold your thumb on the heart rate sensor. You can monitor the progression of the test, which takes only a few seconds from your phone.

The clock is basically looking for an orange tone for your skin. You have probably recently eaten more orange, more beta-carotene. The more beta-carotene (which is an antioxidant), you have probably eaten more vegetables in general. This is a leap of logic. Victoria song, over the verge, Made this sensor stupid with one thing-It,

The clock told me that my antioxidant index is “very little.” So my watch feels that I should eat more carrots.

What am i excited to work on my review

I can’t wait to try the running coach. I would need to understand my fitness level and do a 12 -minute run (originally, a cooper test) for the app to understand and workouts.

I am also keen to try treadmill facilities. This always disappoints me how watches, such as garmins, cannot draw data from the treadmill, to know how fast you are going. The Apple Watch has a gimcuits, which can, but it only works with the native workout app. I know that the treadmills in my gym can sink with Samsung Galaxy watches, so I am eager to see if Samsung can defeat Apple on making this data more accessible to more apps.

I am also curious about some other matrix (and little doubt), such as the vascular load index that Samsung announced. One strange about Wearables market is that companies can announce new health matrix that critics have no way to easily validate. I can tell you if a clock measures a clock with heart rate -and with some efforts I can tell you if it also estimates a laboratory test with my Vo2max. But what is my antioxidant index In factThis is something you may have to leave to really know.
