Missus bought me a Garmin s12 (Purely just a golf GPS watch) but she was happy to swap and I added some of my money towards a Galaxy 8.

So far it's like browsing a mobile device through a front door spy hole lol

Anyone got one or got any tips/things it can do?

Do you have Home Assistant? You can control pretty much anything from the watch tiles with that, I use it to check the CCTV.

Health sensors are good, you need a £20 cuff thing to do the blood pressure readings, but they're pretty accurate if you need to keep an eye on it.

Did you get the one with it's own SIM? I love being able to go out without my phone and still be able to use WhatsApp.

Unfortunately only gone with the BT one. I wouldn't warrant it being connected by sim.

I've done the antioxidants check and it aint good....even after all those Brussel sprouts.
