Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Real-World Test (Review & Battery Test)

[@sidwahi773]

I've been watching tech videos for ages, but I really like his day in the life videos, they give a really good perspective on what it's like to have that device

[@Rufinoman]

I agree. The lifestyle mode of filming this review is very refreshing and I've literally just ordered this watch.

[@ilpoheikkila4773]

Great video! I’m thinking about buying this watch now in 2023 (3 years later) as my first smartwatch ever. Used one. Cheap.

[@markag187]

I've had my watch3 for a week now and can't fault it,the call,message and bixby functions all work better than expected. I love it 😁

[@Plissken84]

Hows the battery?

[@modjojojo8277]

bixby? lol

[@liftusup9208]

Allow me. GW3's battery sucks. Enjoying 4-5 days on my OG GW.

[@big8news]

@@modjojojo8277 not to useful at this time .too control all smart things in home .I need finger out if the company's can connect to Samsung. All smart things hook to Alexa and google home . So my fitbit can control everything with little time. I have Samsung watch 3 and Fitbit sense

[@deobiho]

Question is how long the battery last?

[@nadafaleh8589]

You have a unique style of reviewing tech. You give sould and your experience feels more realistic. I own galaxy active watch 2 and still love it.

[@odono3095]

Enjoyed the video, maybe another one on the functions, calls texts ect, connectivity

[@MikeyBats]

I agree..It would also be good to see..especially if by using those functions anything drains the battery more..I would say that’s one reason why his battery health wasn’t low by the end..

Love my galaxy active 2 and waiting for the 3. The minimalist look is what gets me. Nice and clean looking. And I like the touch rotation.

[@iCortex1]

I take mine off as soon as i'm done looking at my sleep tracker, by the time i'm ready to go out it's been charging for at least an hour. Also I chose the galaxy 3 because it looks more like a classical watch, many people tell me they didn't notice it's a smartwatch.

[@itzsabbage3830]

I upgraded to the the Galaxy Watch 3 from my Active 2 just bc I recently bought my mom a Galaxy phone and galaxy buds and I thought why not let ber experience a smart Watch.. but the only reason to upgrade from tht Active 2 to the Watch 3 is the design and the physical rotating bezel but still both are great

[@jozefberes250]

HI, I know it´s long time from comment but could you compare battery live as user of both watches ? THANKS

[@bonaadventures897]

Dude!!! This was a great video! The edits you made and how you took quick video clips of certain restaurants, buildings, etc... totally awesome man! I subbed and liked!

[@merrymanson]

Having to choose between Active 2 and watch 3 all I can say is I would choose the watch 3 because of 2 reasons: 1. Classic design. This is a personal preference, but I'm not the sporty-type-of-guy and still like to have some step measurements and distance. 2. eSIM is big for me. Not having to carry a phone while you run or do stuff and having everything on your watch is pretty nice. 3. BONUS. The rotating ring :D

[@chrispartin7308]

Really nice review man. Nice to have someone actually doing a real life test and not someone sitting on their ass in some office or apartment!! You may have swayed me to this watch and trading in my active 2. Thanks again and keep up the great reviews.

[@kindofanmol]

I just LOVE my OG GalaxyWatch. Can't wait to get this one!

[@GalaxyTechReview]

Yup same here, just waiting on the 200$ samsung pre order credit from my note 20 ultra (plus you can trade in watches now) to upgrade the galaxy watch to the GW3...

[@MrLonely_95]

Words can't even describe how awesome your channel is 😭😍

[@treblepet]

I am distracted by your photography and editing. Man, that's nice.

[@nacho1718]

It would be nice if you told us what the settings are in your watch. Goodnight mode, AoD, brightness, WiFi all make a big difference in battery life. Really good video!

[@oygenn]

Great video, great review, loved the vlog-like approach! I'd just like to add - your "typical" day started and 1 pm, while for most people it's more like 8 or 9 am. In that case, the watch simply can't make it through 2 full days, not even close really, which really is a bummer. Especially when compared to the previous version, the regular Galaxy Watch 46 mm, which could last up to 3 full days with the same settings. I know this because I've owned both (currently rocking the Galaxy Watch3). Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the new Watch3, its design and size are just perfect! BUT it's a real shame that the battery life on it is so bad. Not much of an issue on regular days when you get the chance to charge it every night at home (if you don't use sleep tracking), but it's basically unusable for even the shortest weekend camping trips or similar - something I could easily do with my Galaxy Watch 46mm without any concerns. Just my 2 cents. Overall I love the new Galaxy Watch3, and for 90% of users out there it could easily be the perfect smartwatch.

Everyday 5,99$ for a coffee? Over 2100$ a year? Why you don’t buy your own coffee machine? 😝 Nice Review!

Nicely done video. I had the original Galaxy watch ,if I had the Galaxy active 2 I probably wouldn't have switched. the original Galaxy watch has much better battery life, but the new Galaxy watch 3 has an outstanding aesthetics. I bought the watch for the new look and new health metrics that will be available soon....

[@apicharjiratanan4285]

Could u do this review using the phone and watch at same time. Answering calls by watch, music, messages notifications see if you can really leave your phone in the pocket most of the time

[@mcremmah9380]

The Best Watch und Watchface i´ve ever had. Needs a bit tweaking in the Beginning especially with the Workouts (Reminders, Display always on) but then its near perfect. The best part is the Rotating Ring, so that you don´t need to use the Touchscreen that much. Love it.

[@themoviereview7532]

I am watching this while wearing the galaxy watch 3. Really nice video!

[@thangluu4025]

Hi, what I really want on a smartwatch is the navigation feature. It would be lovely of you to make a video of it. Thanks!

Look I've never wanted smart watch , but when I do picked one I've tried galaxy active 2 and then amazfit trex in camo and I can say that trex killing it

[@howieb2001]

Great review. Thanks. It made me appreciate my Active 2 which is very close to being as good as an Apple watch - better in some areas. Don't think I'll be upgrading until there's an Active 3.

funny that in your watch active 2 review 11 months ago you also said you couldn't test activity tracking because you just had a surgery too. let us know if you're ok and stay safe! great review by the way. 😉

Ha it's true! I had to get surgery to fix that surgery recently is why 🙄 doing okay for now though thank you 🙏

The format of the video was v creative and helpful! seeing it being used in a real life scenario whilst getting a tour of nyc was 👍🏽!

[@v1d300]

Usually I like your real-world test videos, the typical smartphone usage you show is quite fair but this one I am left with a lot of questions since you didn't really start this test in the morning as you usually do, but instead at around mid day with 91% at around 2pm. And next day morning at 9am it was 50%. Did you not use any other smartwatch features or rather how was it setup the whole day apart from the active tracking you demoed.

[@TheUnlockr]

I started with a full battery at 9am it just happened to be at 91% by the time I first checked it so it's the same as my phone videos. Hope that clarifies and helps!

[@charlesbrown9082]

Looking to get a new Galaxy watch & stumbled upon your video. I'm liking the $399 that you tested throughout the video. Get job on this review of the watch. You have another subscriber.

[@PrinceMichael]

Was split between the Watch 3 and Active 2. Went with thw Watch 3 solely because it's newer and probably be supported longer

[@sumanchalissery]

High Quality Classic Smart watch! 😍 Samsung Tech! 👏🏾

[@mcdonsco]

You didn't mention if you were using the 41mm or 45mm version or if you had the screen set to always on or not, both of those make a big difference in battery life.

[@TheUnlockr]

So you can see in the video me raising to wake the screen so the AOD isn't on, and the bands I show are 22mm so it's the 45mm. Sorry though, I DEFINITELY should have specifically mentioned it though, I just forgot 🤦‍♂️Thanks!

[@mcdonsco]

@@TheUnlockr cool, thanks for the info!

[@craigwoodgate8804]

When i got my samsung Galaxy watch i honestly didn’t think that i would actually use it that often but i have bee using it a lot my only complaint is that it doesn’t always give me my notifications sometimes the notifications don’t show up on the watch but regardless of that its still a great watch

[@Pvt_Ryan]

I love my galaxy watch 46mm and they are now on affordable price.

[@keyboardms22]

Exactly, just bought mine 1 month back

[@22astom]

I loved mine too, until it quit working after one year, was warranted for not tracking steps and coming on with tilt. Then 3 months after they fixed it, same thing is happening again.

[@kkashnikhil]

Was using Active2 earlier, sold it and ordered a new Mystic Silver 45mm variant. Excited about it..😁

[@jeyseej]

Would you mind telling us what phone you used to pair with the Galaxy Watch? I’ve read that some features on this watch only work with Samsung phones. Did you find this to be the case? And, of course, I’d much rather use Google Pay and Google Assistant than Samsung Pay and Bixby. Thanks!

[@TelungPan]

Very useful suggestion, thanks a lot. I am wearing Watch 2 now.

[@andrewriley3483]

In the meantime the Apple watch series 5 can't last a day but that's good. While the Galaxy watch 3 can last two days with sleep tracking in between but that's just okay ?????

[@jaymartin3694]

Thank you

[@eobardthawne19]

it lasts 2 days for me( the apple watch

[@ramonfiguroa]

thanks for your recommendations greetings from PR

[@kalpeti1]

I have a Watch3 myself. I have one major concern, that is water resistance. I read a lot of horror stories, about lack of actual water resistance of Samsung Watches and the lack of warranty in case of water damage. Can you tell me something about it?

[@friedphish492]

Great job on the video! Do you recommend the gear s3? Do you lose a lot of functionality with the older watch?

[@pdglock19]

Good review. I just received the Galaxy 3 Titanium since it was $100 off at Samsung's website. It's my first galaxy watch and coming from fitbit versa, WOW! I totally love this thing. The only thing that would've sent this watch into Uber sensation is battery life. Fitbit gave me about 4 + days, and this one is 2 and change. If this was 4 + days, it would be life. For now, I love it. Highly recommend with a Samsung Galaxy phone like the Note10+ I have.

[@colinmitchell1276]

I have a WA2 but damn the Watch 3 looks good. I know I shouldn't upgrade, but I really want to.

[@opalthebest]

Great video! Does it have google maps for turn by turn bike directions? 🤔

[@happyface5143]

Very nice video. I like the background music 🎶 too. Could you do more on the differences between the active 2 and the watch 3 and how you have your screens are set up?

[@RubelHossain-zl5pd]

How its price?

[@agilka01]

Got my GW3 yesterday, took it from the charger at 9pm(100%) after 24h still has 56%. If get two full days on one charge I will be happy, but honestly they should fit a bit bigger battery to this watch, a lot of people won't get GW3 because of battery, especially those who has experience with OGW with 4 days on one charge.

[@eobardthawne19]

Try switching the always on display on . I got mine a week ago and i returned it day 3 . WHy? you may ask. With the aod on the battery lasts JUST 15 HOURS LIKE WTF SAMSUNG!! AOD is a MAJOR USECASE for me . I purchased the apple watch 5 the same day and for me now with the aod on, I am getting 28 hrs of battery which is good enough for me .

[@aarobjalal1772]

Bro first of all how are things hope you are fine bro which watch is better Samsung Galaxy watch 3 or Samsung Galaxy active 2

[@everythingwithanirudha]

Can we apply screen protectors on watches like Mi band, Apple Watch, Samsung gear,etc

[@Betancourtdm]

Yes

[@H3llbutterfly]

A comparison between Fitbit sense (After its release) and Galaxy Watch 3 would be great.

[@terry651000]

As an electrician I would choose galaxy watch 3 because the revolving bezel will protect the screen. I used an apple watch 3 before and ended up with a cracked screen while working.

[@mattviz]

Do you use a Samsung phone with this? Do you lose anything using another brand android phone?

[@Panda-ud4tn]

I would buy the more expensive one because if I go running I don't want to take my phone with me but I'd like to still be connected with the world and be able to revive texts or call someone... So basically because of the esim function

[@seankemplay6861]

I agree that the active 2 is better, I have small wrists. It comes down to simple aesthetics and personal choice, I have an Amazefit which does the job but as every other device I own is Samsung it probably makes sense to get one

[@vinnugadde4643]

Bought active2 lte for my note20 ultra along wid Sony mdr xb900n..its all 'coz of ur detailed reviews.thank u.

[@sainair]

Just brought these. In India, there is no difference in cost between Watch Active 2 and Galaxy Watch 3 (non-LTE version) with bank discounts. So, I brought Watch 3 and I would get it early next week.

Great stuff! Has been wanting to replace my Huawei 2 watch for a long time. Just haven't found exactly what I wanted yet. Still going to wait for the new OnePlus watch which (hopefully) is coming out soon. if that doesn't impress me I think I'm going to go with the active 2 you mentioned at the end of the video. Thanks as always for helping me make good tech decisions.

Can anyone figure out which workout I need to use if I want to record the Stairmaster? We have the Stairmaster at the gym but I cannot get it to record any steps, floors etc using any of the preloaded workouts. Sorry I should say I have last year's Galaxy Watch. Great video by the way :)

[@juliemathias8107]

Was this watch the Bluetooth only or the lte watch? Sorry if I missed that information

[@jbradcampbell]

So maybe I missed it, but what were your settings on the watch? I don't get anywhere near that amount of battery life. Are you using always on display are you using continual heart rate monitoring? All these things greatly affect battery life. I'd love to know how you got through a day and a night on 51%.

[@ibrahimkesetovic7869]

[@Dare2Blink]

Can someone please explain to me what is the point of getting a watch like this when you can get a Huawei GT 2e or GT 2 that has all the same fitness features and whose batteries last much, much longer. What else is a smartwatch good for except fitness?

[@gerardfinnigan11]

Many reasons for people who travel to other countries, barometer, compass, mult time zones, access to email, etc etc and for others wanting to leave their smart phone at home when they work out, can take phone calls ..

[@PositiveFlowVibes]

Where did you find the music and I like this style of review! Great job. I subbed!

[@bertman252]

There must be something wrong with the smartwatch I got, cause mine barely lasts for an 8 hour work shift. I turned the bluetooth, wifi, heart rate monitor, and exercise tracking off. I even set the screen to wake up only when I rotate the bezel. I got the lte version, and I wanted it so I could leave my phone in my locker, but still be able to pick up calls and respond to messages.
