Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

Samsung’s older generation Galaxy Watch 3 might look a bit outdated, but if you don’t really need mobile payments, you can wear the tried-and-true Tizen operating system on your wrist and use it for a variety of purposes and probably won’t miss anything important. Being an older watch model, you can also get a decent value for your money. The only thing you should know is that mobile payments won’t be coming to the watch over time, and neither will it be updated to Wear OS.
The Galaxy Watch 3 is a presentable watch in two case sizes, which is suitable for both enterprise and sports, both when paired with a smartphone and all by itself (for example, the LTE version) with its own apps downloadable from the Galaxy Store.
You can pair it with all android devices, but it will work best directly with Samsung. The watch has a variety of measurement tools (for example, the ECG is not missing) and can detect falls. Unless you need mobile payments and don’t use the watch yet, it’s definitely not a waste of investment. Stay tuned for more of the best smartwatches currently on the market.
