According to our smartwatch expert
The Samsung Gear Sport is a smartwatch that doesn't just update you on smartphone notifications, but also measures your health and activity all day long. The screen shows different bars that tell you how close you are to achieving your fitness goals. You can also easily track your nutrition, and the watch tells you how many calories you've eaten and how many you've burned. During exercise, the GPS and heart rate sensor measure important data, such as your heart rate, speed, route, and distance. Thanks to it being fully waterproof, you can also use the smartwatch when swimming. Samsung Gear's unique feature is the rotating bezel on the round watch case that allows you to easily scroll through all functions.

I have the blue version of the Samsung Gear Sport in my possession. If you don't like blue, you can always take the (conservative) black version or exchange the straps for a strap you bought yourself. The watch is very comfortable and that is important if you want to exercise with it. Samsung also markets this watch as a real sports watch and you notice that immediately after you turn on the watch for the first time.
By default, the watch contains many apps that are intended to measure your performance. The main app is S health. This app alone is enough to measure almost anything you want to measure. Think of how many steps you have taken, how much water you have drunk, how many km you have run and even how much you have slept. And that's not all yet. The great thing about this is that you don't have to install separate apps for all these separate activities. In addition, this app also syncs all its data nicely with your phone. For fun, I downloaded another fitness app (Endomondo) to compare it with the S health app, but this one has much less features. I am therefore also of the opinion that thanks to this versatile app, Samsung has brought a watch on the market that feels very complete. Really useful for people who just want a watch that just works straight away without any frills.
The smart part of the watch feels good. You will receive all messages neatly and can even respond to them, although typing is less smooth than on your smartphone. The watch can be customized in many ways to your wishes. You can do this on the watch itself, but also via your phone. Downloading apps is always done via your phone. The phone battery can last for 2-3 days. This depends on how intensively you use it. This is long compared to many other watches.
As said before, this is a real sports watch. I think it measures your heart rate well, and it's great that it already tracks a lot out of the box (like your heart rate, step count, etc) without having to set it up. I really like the option to exercise without a phone since the watch has GPS and Bluetooth so that you can measure your running performance and still enjoy your music at the same time.
Top watch for athletes!

The watch works well, only the software is not yet ready to open whatts app messages completely. but you will get a notification so then you just grab your mobile. I am definitely satisfied with it!

Nice watch that is lighter and smaller than gear S3. The speaker function of the Gear S3 is unfortunately missing. Nice features such as scrolling through PowerPoint presentation with phone (standard app) even works on a business laptop (without an admin account).
Stairs and steps work fine, although the Fitbit seems a bit more accurate. GPS is more accurate for me.
Unfortunately, S-voice (speech recognition) is not in Dutch and pronunciation of names is difficult.
