I'm not a novice when it comes to health and fitness, and I’m fully clued up with the latest in wearables that monitor activity. I exercise regularly, love lifting weights and try to exceed 10K steps on a daily basis. I've also had a smartwatch or fitness tracker on my wrist almost every day for the last five years.I started out trying a number of Fitbit models, including the Charge 4 and Charge 5, as well as the Fitbit Ionic. But since switching to my current Apple Watch SE 2, I haven’t felt the need to take it off.
Despite my experience with fitness watches, I haven’t yet felt the need to try out a dedicated sports watch, like one of the best Garmin watches, or cash in on the more recent craze for an ‘ultra’ wearable. For my needs, they’re overkill. Then I was offered the chance to try out the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra for a few days. I wasn’t quite sure what I’d get out of the experience but, at the very least, I figured it could be just the thing to shift my mental state and push me to get more out of my workouts. Hey, maybe it could turn me into a proper athlete!
