Tracking Sucks
I was eagerly waiting for this watch to upgrade my Gear Sport, but the only reason for me to avoid this despite so many better features is that they still cant do the basics right. Activity tracking still does not take into account your actual Heart Rate during a workout. It just throws a fixed amount of Calories burned based on your BMR which is calculated based on age, sex, weight etc.. For my case, it shows a fixed 560 calories burned in an hour when I track an activity, same if I workout in Gym or sit drinking a beer. I am looking at Fitbit now, even Apple Watch does it using heart rate but I am in Android family.
