Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 45mm

Solid male model

The flagship model of 2020 replaced the first Galaxy Watch, while the Galaxy Watch 2 was decided to be skipped, apparently due to the presence of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 in the range. which we will talk about today. This is a more solid model with a large screen and a leather strap, which is more suitable for a large male hand. Fortunately, it is removable, as it is not friendly with water, so in this case it is better to have a spare silicone one. At the same time, protection against water according to the IP68 standard is claimed, which provides immersion of the device in fresh water to a depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes.

They also left the main feature of Samsung smartwatches — a rotating bezel, which makes it easy to navigate the menu and simply interact with the gadget. In addition, there are two physical buttons on the side for control. The 45mm version received a 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 360x360 pixels and Always on Display.

Smartphone on hand

The watch connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, after which you don't even have to take it out of your bag or pocket. The display of the wearable device displays all chats and notifications, and in full — not only with text, but also with images. You can answer both messages and calls, and 8 GB of internal memory allows you to download music and listen to it while jogging without being tied to a smartphone, but with wireless headphones. But with NFC, not everything is so smooth — you can make contactless payments, but only through Samsung Pay, and this service is not available everywhere.

sports and health

In addition to being a stylish accessory, a smartwatch will also take care of your health and track your performance during workouts. The optical sensor on the back has been updated and can measure not only the heart rate, but also the level of blood oxygen saturation. The gadget can take an electrocardiogram and report signs of atrial fibrillation — but, again, not in all countries, because this requires the approval of local regulatory authorities. Using Samsung Health Monitor, the device measures blood pressure without an inflatable cuff, but first you still need to calibrate using a conventional blood pressure monitor. The accelerometer detects the user's falls to send an SOS signal to selected contacts if the owner does not rise. And at night, the watch tracks different phases of sleep to make rest more efficient. For sports, there are about 120 pre-installed programs, recommendations for running technique and various motivations that stimulate more activity.

In addition to the Exynos 9110 chip, a 340 mAh battery is installed inside, one charge of which will last for several days, depending on the activity of use. The watch runs out faster when exercising, listening to music, and with GPS enabled. They are charged through a magnetic docking station that connects to the USB Type-A port.
