I walked 6,500 steps with the Garmin Vivoactive 6 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 to find out which is the more accurate fitness tracker. With matching $299 price tags, each of these smartwatches boasts impressive onboard fitness and location tracking tech. But only one can win this showdown.
For this comparison, I judged each device by how closely the final step count matched my actual (manually tallied) count of 6,500 steps. Other datapoints — like distance, climb, pace and heart accuracy — were also considered.
