    Not even using the Apple Watch Ultra.

    Next time you can include the sleep monitoring

    If you have used Samsung smartwatches long enough, then these test results were not so shocking after all. In fact, Galaxy smartwatches have been known for showing inaccurate walking and running distances, VO2 Max, and the worst of all, battery life.

    Poor Samsung and Google 🤭😂

    Amazfit ( esp my Max ) make WearOS irrelevant

    Great job!! I got my first Apple watch after I found out I had a heart condition ( a bad one but still). I lost one for about six or eight months and by the time I found that I couldn’t remember the password and so I’m gonna try and reset the password but if I can’t, I’ll just get the Apple Watch 11.

    I left Apple and other smartwatches for Garmin a long time ago. My Garmin Fenix 8 has been doing a great job for me for years now. Previous i had forerunner..love it..garmin all the way..

    Galaxy watch just got blood pressure compare with BP cuff

    Apple watch isn’t smartwatch only wearos watches is smartwatch. Calling a Garmin, Apple , amazfit smartwatch is so misleading and wrong

  14. @atehrani

    If you want accurate HR monitoring get a chest strap. Smart watches will have some error due to their sensors and how snug they fit on your wrist.

    Very good. I appreciate the amount of work that went into making this film. Many thanks.

      April 13, 2026 at 6:36 pm

      Than you so much for the positive feedback 🙏🏼

  16. @AnthonyGale

    April 13, 2026 at 3:25 pm

    I wish the pixel 4 came closer to apple.

  17. @QMaverick1

    April 13, 2026 at 3:54 pm

    I’d be interested in how other variables impact the accuracy of the readings. For example, you’re a sample size of one person . . . but we all have different sized wrists, veins, etc. In other words, would the Pixel or Samsung watch have worked better on someone else?

    This is by no means a complaint! I loved the video–I’d just love to see a follow-up with similar testing across multiple people of multiple body-shapes, ethnicities, etc. That may be a little too . . . big, but I’m extremely curious!

    • @vanessahandorellana

      April 13, 2026 at 8:20 pm

      There are sooooo many variables! Even the weather impacted HR results… I imagine because of differences in blood flow at different temps.

  18. @mstreich

    April 13, 2026 at 4:06 pm

    So the Samsung was off by 10% for walking distance? That seems high. 2:30

  19. @SpelledWithPH

    April 13, 2026 at 4:50 pm

    This was a great video! I love how you approached it like a science project — actually measuring your distance, heartbeat, and steps with accurate tools really made it stand out as genuinely informative. Bravo!

    • @vanessahandorellana

      April 13, 2026 at 6:35 pm

      Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏼! That was exactly the approach I was going for, glad it came across.

    The problem with Samsung watches is the chipset period it’s good and way better then past version, but it’s not where it should be let Qualcomm handle all mobile devices not just for Samsung’s but all android devices which at this rate is just Samsungand Pixel products 😅. And that’s their problem, everything she said, is right on the money. Apple has a really good chip. That’s why it tracks so well.

    Where is the drop test?

  24. @CoinOpTV

    April 13, 2026 at 8:09 pm

    I jumped ship from the Apple Watch last year to Garmin Venu 4 – really enjoy the new watch and battery life — price isn’t cheap but feels like something that is going to last a handful of years.

  25. @JoeyFigueroa83

    April 13, 2026 at 8:12 pm

    6:45 What about Apple Watch Ultra users?

    • @vanessahandorellana

      April 13, 2026 at 8:18 pm

      Same sensor on both! In theory will have similar outcome.
