The Galaxy Watch Ultra would be the best choice. Next would be Galaxy 5 Pro. Although my Pixel Watch 4 gets longer battery life than my Ultra does.

Bro, why did you upgrade from 7? I have the Watch 5 Pro, and I don't think I need an upgrade. You said that there are small changes; I think those don't matter too much.

I'm new to PW and I have a 3 and I haven't had any issues except for changing notification sounds and accessing photos on my PW3. I have a Samsung watch5 Pro which I can do all those little features. I'm still on the fence with the PW3

Hello , 1- I primarly do bodybuilding exercices in circuit training with weight ( like 60% of max weight ) , basic crossfit and hyrox exercices and i aim at seriously focusing on hyrox in few months 2- I need a wearable that track my sleep recovery and training and give me accueate data to adjust my habits 3- my current setup is a galaxy watch 8 , i used to have a watch 5 pro but since i started working regulary , 1h20 to 1h40 a day , 4 days a week and taking supplements ( omega 3 , creatine , magnesium and ashwagandha from time to time since i got the following problem ) , my watch behaved strangely having half of the nights with 10min of deep sleep or even lower sometimes and maximum of 1h . While i ised to have 1h30 to 2h consistently when i was fully sedentary . So i upgraded the watch 5 pro to galaxy watch 8 but still having the same problem I love the concept of smartwatches and having gemini samsung pay or watch faces is satisfying . I am a data scientist so i m not stuck with the algorithms and i like the fact that with the whoop i can export historical data as csv . But the body readiness in garmin is interesting too . I wonder if i should replace my current watch with a garmin venu 4 or go with the combo galaxy watch as a watch and whoop for recovery and training . What do you think would be the best ? Thanks
