  • After testing these watches side by side, I found one BIG compromise you will end up making if you choose the new and improved Watch 3.
    GALAXY WATCH 3 ➡️ amzn.to/2E2ZAq9
    GALAXY WATCH ➡️ amzn.to/30HAbLy
    Besides the price, and battery life, the Watch 3 is far superior in almost all aspects.

      I have the Galaxy watch and to me it is much better looking then the Galaxy watch 3. I like a big watch since I where the Breitling Super Chrono avenger it has a luxury look to it when you add a stainless steel bezel and band. The Galaxy 3 doesn't . In my honest opinion I am glad I have the 1st Galaxy watch. I am also going to be switching back the the iPhone once the 12 max pro comes out so no need to worry about then new one. I have the Samsung Galaxy S20 ultra. I had the S10 that I upgraded from the iPhone 7plus. Samsung is a nice phone but apple is better with software updates and the eco system is by far superior.

    It is crazy to hear what a little watch has in it. My first desktop computer in 1996 had a 50 MHz processor speed and a 1 GB of Hard Disc space. The Ram had to be very small. This computer had to be plugged into the wall and was as big as multiple large phone books from big city’s. Now a tiny watch is so much better spec wise it really is amazing. Also that computer in 1996 was over 2 thousand dollars.

      I've upgraded from Watch 1 to 3, and I agree its not worth the upgrade. My biggest complain is the battery life, I think watch 3 is slightly worse. My watch 1 on normal mode lasted about 3-4 days before needing to charge but now its 3 or less days until the battery reaches to 15%. It wouldn't last over a weekend. There aren't that many changes in terms of UI designs and features either. Its not that Watch 3 is terrible, but Watch 1 is very good and good enough yet.

    Thanks for the video! I solved the issue by buying BOTH. What I noticed: The chargers are NOT interchangeable; instead "use original charger" appears on dial and the watch does not charge. Tracking is more exact on the Watch 3, which measured only a few meters deviation on a marked 10km track, while the original Galaxy watch measured the 10km track as 9830 meters. So I'll mainly use the watch 3 for running, and the original watch for longer hikes, where battery life matters more.

    Good one!! Very practical comparison. You kept it simple, precise and yet covered every aspect.
    My view, I will still prefer the bigger battery especially when there is not a very major difference between the two. I have lived in fear with a smaller battery on my watch and I know how it feels. A gun is useless without the bullets and a smartwatch is without enough power.
    Talking about being future proof, for me a bigger battery has a better future if there is no major differences really. The space and RAM is sufficient on the original GW, after all its a watch, just an extension to your phone. Better to spend on a phone with more memory, bigger RAM and yes, lets not forget the battery here as well :)

    Great video Mike..! Two points come to mind. I do feel that the GW3 is a significant upgrade from Galaxy Watch. On battery life, I had Galaxy Watch and now have 44mm Stainless Steel Watch Active 2 with the same battery size as the new GW3, and battery life is really about the same for me personally. The second thing that comes to mind is not the comparison with Galaxy Watch, but that people will be in effect getting a Watch Active 2, same sensors on board, and though less storage, I believe 1.5gb ram on Active vs 1gb on GW3? Correct me if I'm wrong on that. People are paying a huge premium to get a Watch Active 2 with with a smaller *engine" and a bezel.

    Really good comparison video. I think Sammy missed an opportunity here though. It is essentially the GW1, with some incremental changes. If you like Tizen over the WearOS watches, the GW1 is a plenty capable watch still to this day. Sammy should also invest more into their OS. It needs a major update, perhaps with more usuable built-in apps since the Tizen appstore has little or no useful 3rd party apps. This is one of the more stranger upgrades to me, especially after 2yrs. Probably worth it when it drops 20% by the holidays.

      @@MikeOBrienMedia Agree looks good, but I actually like the bulkier GW1 better - I had the 46mm GW1 for about 2 weeks, but again, the appstore was horrible - it's like having a Ferrari that you can only drive on mud roads. Not to get too off topic but I when I got rid of the GW1, I picked up the WearOS TicWatch Pro 2020 and never looked back. Really well made, great battery and has tons of very good apps in the Google Playstore. WearOS in general is better than Tizen OS for me. The Fossil 6 should be very successful because of it, on top of the hardware.

    Thank you for the comparison video.

Besides, Samsung is giving discount for the watch in my country and is half of the price of the galaxy watch 3

    I ended up going with the original galaxy watch, the massive price increase, and smaller battery made the watch 3 a no go for me, i care about function over looking pretty, and to me, the original watch being able to last twice as long with certain settings as the new watch that costs twice as much was a deal breaker, it being lighter and with certain better features is irrelevant to me if the thing is always on the charger. Also, the 3 doesn't come in midnight black for whatever reason, i think that was a huge fail on samsungs part. Great video.

      Also you mention the first gen galaxy watch, two years ago the market was not the same, today there are way more options from different brands, Samsung can't take it easy as back then, they need to cut prices quick to stay competitive, actually I think smartwatch will follow the trend of smartphones, which means price drop very quick in a market where competition is rude.
      Also let's be honest about this smartwatch, it is really overpriced for three main reasons
      1) it use the exact same chipset of the first gen galaxy watch released two years go.
      2) It has the exact same screen too
      3) It actually has less battery than the first watch...
      So when you can find the og galaxy watch around 200$ and below easily today, that has almost the same tech and with more battery, how come Samsung can sell this to 460$ ? Aren't they putting a big margin here ?

I decided I wasn't willing to pay more for the watch AND $30 a month for the LTE. I got my watch on Friday and as of Sunday evening, I still have 55% battery left. I didn't want a lot of the features offered on the Active watches but for me, it came down to $$$ for what I was after. Due to the size of my hands & arms, I like a bigger, chunkier watch. Often times what would look like a big watch on someone's wrist would look small on mine. Thanks for the reviews. You do a great job.
