Body Battery, sleep coach, training readiness and VO2 max — the metrics Garmin watch owners rely on — in a screen-free band with no mandatory membership.
Swap between a wrist band and an upper-arm band, which many users find more comfortable during sleep and more accurate during workouts.
Up to 10 days between charges, longer than the Fitbit Air's 7 days. A full charge takes up to 90 minutes on Garmin's proprietary charger.
ECG, blood pressure, body composition, SpO2, and advanced sleep coaching — all processed on-device with Galaxy AI.
Answer calls, control SmartThings, and use Galaxy AI features seamlessly across Galaxy phones and tablets.
Access Google Play, Google Maps, Google Wallet, and Samsung's One UI Watch interface.
The right pick depends on what you optimize for.
