Study to provide insights and learnings around sweat loss and VO2 max for runners by leveraging Galaxy Watch features Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and

This is interesting and probably helps samsung to improve VO2Max estimation in the future, however according to the announcement this is not what the cooperation is about.

It would be very interesting to read results of this cooperation.

Also, would be great to see how people use watches in the lab to get most accurate estimations (most probably, not how we do this).

    GPS sync during set up. Probably not ADHD friendly as I jiggle a lot and have 3 to 4 times more steps than my wife if we run errands through a few stores throughout a day.

      I did not get what do you call a “set up” process.

      Probably not ADHD friendly as I jiggle a lot and have 3 to 4 times more steps than my wife if we run errands through a few stores throughout a day.

      You “jiggle”, your wife probably keep her hands on a trolley (hands are not waving, steps are not counted). This could easily be a reason for different steps counted. Plus, I would recommend to check how many of steps are counted by your watch and how many by your phone.
