My hate for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4...

[Android Central Question]

I just got one and I absolutely hate it and the operating system. I am sending it back because it's confusing, downloading watch faces the the playstore takes too long and I never know when it's been installed. Is there a phone out there that can take pulse rates and other health monitoring without the use of a smatch watch? I am almost done with samsung phones which I like but hate that I have to have their smart phone in order take my pulse and and oxygen levels.
Can anyone recommend a phone that can do these things without the help of a smart watch?

Welcome to Android Central! You can check your heart rate on Pixel phones (and probably some others) using Google Fit: https://support.google.com/fit/answer/10477667?hl=en

If you only want a watch for fitness monitoring, then look into a dedicated fitness watch, like one from Fitbit, Garmin, or Amazfit. Those will tend to be more efficient and less clunky. I got my wife a Fitbit Charge 4, which she loves.

I moved this to the Galaxy Watch4 for more specific traffic.
