This is about Apple

Unfortunately being a Samsung customer, this is what I am missing big time 

The quality of 3rd party support in relation to Health and fitness is exceptionally poor poor poor with Galaxy watch 

The same Apps that provide really high quality customer experience (Gymaholic, Nike, Fitbod Addias etc) when it comes to Galaxy watch 5 pratically almost featureless 

I think Samsung should do something about it, in my case I will be back to Apple soon. 

Sometime in life its OK to make a poor decision but don't need to live with it

You do have a point @IndiW. It would make a lot of other users very happy I'm sure if they did have more 3rd party support. I have also read many users do prefer the apple watch for this reason being one. I guess it doesn't effect me as much. When I was with apple, I didn't own a apple watch. My first watch was when I moved to Samsung.

Sometimes if the app doesn't meet and fit the criteria and pose a risk, like malware infecting your devices in the Google play Store they won't be able to download from the play services, it may happen with some of Samsung apps too. Google has removed a lot from the playstore due to this risk especially the fitness apps, why I don't know.

Hi to you , in fact my very first fitness watch was fitbit then after that allllll the way Apple

Galaxy watch 5 pro (my current) it's actually OK, but when it comes to health and fitness features and in particular 3rd party support... Million miles behind Apple

I don't think it's the fault of Samsung, because there are 100s of Os watches with different sizes and specifications.. So the developers are struggling to create necessary software

When it comes to Apple, one watch, one size, one specification so even a 2 year old girl/boy with coding knowledge can write an app

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏💐

Sure, however we have to admit, Apple store has amazing health and fitness apps

The actual Apple watch comes with almost useless built-in facilities (they are doing this deliberately to make money) however 3rd party backup is sooo good so the watch feel amazing
