A:AnswerIt reports a heart rate but I wouldn't trust it. Mine would should a rate even when I was wearing it or even holding it. My heart does not have Bluetooth so I have no idea what the watch is recording.
A:AnswerI have both this watch and the Galaxy Watch 3. The big difference is this watch has no speaker or mic. Both have Spotify built in but the newer watch can play it out loud whereas this one needs you to connect your Bluetooth earbuds or an external speaker. I always carried my Galaxy Buds Plus with me so that wasn't a problem but I did run into issues with it disconnecting from Spotify and end up with a super small Playlist of downloaded songs or it would simply not work much of the time. The sleep monitor is nice but whenever the Galaxy Wear app updates or crashes you need to reconnect the watch you lose all your sleep history and walking mile logs. Maybe not a huge deal but annoying. This watch is really good at telling time. It is also a smaller profile than most smart watches on the market. It's good for people with smaller wrists. I still wear it at night sometimes to track my sleep or on really hot days when less is more.
A:AnswerIf you have an android you will be able to do both. If you have a Samsung phone it will be easier for you to do it. However, if you have an iphone, youll be able to recieve texts and see who is calling but you cannot text the person or talk on the phone via your watch. Hope that helps
