There’s still a lot of rumor, speculation, and alleged leaks around the possibility of Apple releasing a foldable phone, but who would this be for, anyway? One guess: it could be for people who miss the iPad Mini, if the apps can just work. #ipad #iphone #iphoneultra #iphonefold Add CNET as a trusted news source…

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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.
@GrayHomeVideo
April 14, 2026 at 12:53 pm
It well might. Garmin Venu 2S since July 2022, still works flawlessly, still get 7 days battery life with 35% to spare, so I could push it to 8 days if I needed to, but 7 days is convenient to remember. I’m saving towards the Venu 4 and figure I’ll catch it on a sale eventually.

As a 70+ year old man I have heard/read enough stories about these watches saving lives that I wear mine all the time. Being in the apple ecosphere I chose the Apple Watch but no matter what you choose there is enough evidence out there now that says get one of these . It could save your life.

Heart rate accuracy during workout is not important because it can be resolved with a chest strap.
@Andrej-cp9dp
April 15, 2026 at 8:02 am
It is important because Im not spending another 100 for a chest strap
@lonelessness84
April 15, 2026 at 8:28 am
@Andrej-cp9dp You can’t see the whole picture. If you want maximum accuracy with zero inconsistency, you need to use an external sensor anyway. So the accuracy of wrist-based heart rate (OHR) isn’t that important.
If you’re only looking at overall averages, almost all smartwatches provide similar results — similar average heart rate, similar calorie estimates, etc. A ±5% heart rate error won’t stop you from being Usain Bolt or turn you into a world-class athlete. The overall outcome of your workout will be essentially the same whether you wear an Apple Watch or a Garmin.
Apple Watch has been the worst watch that I’ve ever used in my entire life by the way, and it’s not that accurate at all. I tried it many times in my strength workouts, also had Huawei Watch GT 6 and Garmin Venu 3.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and GPS function is poor standard / badly designed, therefore distance is highly inaccurate. I wear the watch face side up, not covered and typically ride in open areas, no urban canyon or foliage cover. When cycling. I also use Wahoo Roam 3 with dual band GNSS and wheel speed odometer. On a typical 30 mile bike ride (measured on Wahoo Roam 3) the Galaxy Watch will typically measure over 50 miles. I know the Wahoo is accurate since I can overlay tracked ride on a map. When I check GW7, I can see that the GPS location dithers a long way off the mapped route. Never buying Samsung again!!!
@rickyf

I currently wear an Apple watch Ultra 3 and a Garmin Forerunner 970. The Apple watch is not as good measuring steps, distance, or heart rate compared to the Garmin. I used to wear a Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra V8 before the Apple watch and it too was not as accurate as my Garmin. I have tested all three in heart rate against my Polar HRM chest strap.
@vanessahandorellana
April 14, 2026 at 4:46 pm
I wonder if Venu and Forerunner have different sensors 🧐
@rickyf
April 14, 2026 at 5:54 pm
@vanessahandorellanaSimple answer is the sensors are probably identical.
Gemini says:
The Garmin Forerunner 970 and the Garmin Venu 4 (the latest model in the Venu series) share the same core biometric sensor technology, but differ significantly in their **GPS capabilities** and **build materials**. Both watches utilize the **Elevate Gen 5** optical heart rate sensor, which supports advanced health metrics like **ECG** and blood oxygen (SpO2) tracking.
While their internal health sensors are identical, the Forerunner 970 includes a **multi-band GPS** system and **SatIQ technology**, which provides superior location accuracy in challenging environments like dense forests or city canyons. In contrast, models like the Venu X1 typically utilize **single-band GPS**.
### Key Differences in Usage
* **Forerunner 970:** Best for **professional athletes** who require **Running Economy** and **Running Tolerance** metrics. Its titanium build and **Sapphire lens** are designed for high-intensity durability.
* **Venu 4:** Aimed at **wellness and lifestyle** users. It offers unique features like **Sleep Alignment** and **Health Status** reports, which focus on lifestyle habits rather than just training load.
If your primary goal is high-intensity training with the most accurate tracking for outdoor runs, the **Forerunner 970** is the better choice. However, if you want a refined design for daily wear with excellent health monitoring, the **Venu 4** provides similar data at a lower price point.
@rickyf
April 14, 2026 at 5:55 pm
I should add that watch bands are not identical which may impact the quality of the sensors’ readings.

Nice! I was hoping this would confirm my own findings. I actually switched from using the Polar H10 to my Apple Watch a few years ago, because I wanted a daily tracker, but not before I did about a week’s worth of workouts using both, to make sure the switch was worth it, and I found pretty much the same results. The Apple Watch kept up with the Polar H10 pretty perfectly. I love it, and I’m happy you found the same 😍 YES! 😁 ⌚️

The Amazfit is not a good buy. For a cheap watch, consider the Huawei Watch Fit 4 – if it is allowed for sales in your country. The Galaxy is constant disappointing for its price. The Garmin is overpriced, but for good analysis and training tips it is an excellent watch. No other presents it’s data and findings so well.

@todd5
April 15, 2026 at 4:12 pm
Why did you not do a Garmin Fenix, it is the top of the line watch which would be more comparable to an Apple Watch, each watch has their niche’s, for me Garmin, living in Colorado, mountains, mountain biking skiing, etc is the best watch there is – that and the battery last for TWO weeks – Apple 1 day – these are pretty important features. I get the test is specific to biometrics, but the Fenix is the one that should have been tested here.

The Garmin watch tested was already the most expensive of the lot. I used to be a Garmin fan having used them since the first-gen Forerunner, but the utility of a smart watch converted me over.
