Smart watches from Samsung are definitely among the best in the ecosystem Androidto get One of the reasons is long-term software support. A good example is the Samsung Gear S3, which was released in 2016 and continues to receive updates with new features to this day. Last year, they received the Samsung One UI redesign and now it also gets the Bixby assistant, which comes in the latest update.

Even with Bixby, however, you have to take into account the same limitation as with other assistants - Czech is not supported.

The new update for the Gear S3 isn't just about the new Bixby assistant, though. Samsung has also added new options for exercise. In the settings, it will be possible to turn on the display with current data constantly on during the activity, although the user must expect a higher demand on the battery. Newly, it is also possible to automatically measure laps or stages while running. Just press the back button twice during the activity.

The support for wireless Samsung headphones has also been improved, and you can now see how much battery is left for the connected headphones on the watch. Always-On Display features a new display informace about the battery during charging. The last major innovation is the possibility to change the menu with applications to a classic list in which the applications will be displayed one below the other. The update is gradually released in different regions, it may take several weeks before it reaches the Czech Republic. You don't have to worry that Samsung has forgotten you if you can't download it right away.
