hello everyone welcome back to tech it easy so you seem to enjoy my galaxy watch 3 apps
video i did a couple of months ago so i thought i'd do a follow-up episode to that
so this is five more galaxy watch three apps for 2021 now they're very fitness orientated
but i guess that is generally what a smartwatch is for but hopefully there'll be something in
here that captures your attention now i do apologize because it is going to be a shorter
video this week i've had a really really busy couple of weeks but i will be back on track for
next week with some longer videos for you anyway let's just get stuck into the video
and do remember if you are new here and you do find yourself enjoying the video
please hit that subscribe button and leave a like if you found the video
helpful
so for our first samsung galaxy watch 3 app of the episode we've got the strava app now many of
you will have heard about this before essentially it does a lot of what your galaxy watch 3 already
does just a little bit better now i might not have as much choice when it comes to exercises
as your galaxy watch 3 does but it is really good at the ones it does offer so you get an option of
outdoor ride outdoor run outdoor warp high nordic ski workout indoor ride and indoor run once you
select one of these it will bring up a screen and it will start the workout this will track
your distance your pace heart rate and more once you finish the workout you can upload it to the
strava app where you can see your analytics in a more detailed view it'll also show you your route
that you've ran which is one of the features that really drew me to this app now strava initially is
a free app but it does have paid subscriptions i personally think the paid subscriptions are worth
it but you can try it out for a month for free it will give you personalized training plans and even
help you train for things like marathons in terms of analytics it'll track your average pace your
distance the time it took to do your run or cycle whichever exercise you've chosen and it also keeps
a training log showing which days you've trained and which days you haven't all in all i think it's
an excellent app now more than ever through this pandemic i think it's an excellent opportunity to
try and get fit i've personally been struggling but since i've got this app it's really pushed
me to get outside and do some running give it a go and let me know in the comments section what you
thought now in at number two for our galaxy watch three apps episode is another exercise orientated
app and that is the home workout app and yep you guessed it this one revolves around home workouts
i can't show you all the exercises as that sort of defeats the object of paying for the app but
you get a selection of different difficulties and essentially you can just quickly start a workout
and it'll do all the timers for you it'll tell you what to do and when to do it and you don't
even need to look at the watch you can just let it vibrate to prompt you i've personally found
this really helpful it is a paid app but it's not too expensive it's a really quick easy simple app
to use definitely a good one for you guys to try out if you're struggling through the pandemic to
stay fit is something i'm gonna keep using on a day-to-day basis now in that number three is
actually a game you know me i do like my games and i found this one to be extremely fun especially
on such a small screen so this is the asteroids game an absolute classic and it's been bought to
the galaxy watch 3. it's incredibly simple but incredibly fun you have three different options
for controlling your little ship those being touch control motion control and then you can also use
the rotating bezel i found that the touch control seems to be the easiest way to control them not
that i'm demonstrating that on screen now still a great little game to have on your watch that might
come in handy if you're ever on the train or just waiting for something it might fill in that gap
now if you download this app let me know in the comment section your high scores i'll pin the best
score to the top of the comment section next up is the water reminder pro app and yep you guessed it
it's a water reminder app now on the first page is pretty basic and does what you would expect
from a water reminder app you can add or subtract a glass of water each time you actually drink one
but then on the next page it does actually have a timer so this is your active mode so you can
set between which times you're going to receive these reminders and then on the next page you can
select how often you receive them so you can set it every half an hour hour or even longer if you
want to the page after that will allow you to set a goal so you can say whether you want to
drink 10 glasses of water or more or less and i've actually found it to be really helpful it
has really encouraged me to drink more water i've used water reminder apps before but it's
all been a sort of manual input and i just get a small notification at the top of my phone which
i'd swipe away this actually vibrates on your wrist and almost forces me to actually go and
drink some water a pretty simple app i'm not sure what more you could want from something like this
again another great app to help you stay healthy and it'll work well with some of the other apps
i've mentioned in this episode now last but not least is the backtrack app now this is a bit of
a fun one i'm not sure many of you will get some real use out of this but if you're into hiking and
exploring then this might be a good app for you essentially what it is is a breadcrumb app so if
you go out exploring you can actually see where you started and where you've actually traveled
so you can find your way back easy enough on the second page we'll bring up your map so it does use
your watches gps and as you can see i've just been around the house so it's left a bit of a
yellow scribble where i've been going up and down but then on the next page actually gives you a lot
of information such as altitude latitude longitude speed and more then it has your route information
and then a rather handy compass you can also configure the app on the last page you can
change from kilometers to miles and choose whether to display the map or not then lastly you get the
choice of a light or dark theme i thought it's quite a fun app it works in a similar way that
strava does it allows you to see your roots give it a go and let me know what you think so those
are my top five galaxy watch three apps for 2021 as always let me know in the comment section what
you thought and if you've got any more ideas for the channel do write down in the comments section
or on my community posts i'm always wanting to know what you guys want to see on the channel
