Which is Better?
I give it to Galaxy Watch 3, with blood pressure, incidental fall detection, ECG, and more preset sport modes than what Ticwatch Pro 3 can offer, it’s a more comprehensive fitness tracker. I also think Tizen OS is a better operating system than Wear OS. Although, you get access to more apps on Wear OS than on Tizen OS.
