Is it worth jumping into the Samsung ecosystem if you are thinking about getting a different phone? The watches are cheap but I don't like Samsung Pay and I've heard that the Apple watches are way better.

You don't really need to be in the "ecosystem". You can connect this to any android phone or iphone. I am still using my Gear 3 from a few years back and it still works great, but debating upgrading to this one.

I mean, if I'm on the fence between apple and Samsung, is the Samsung watch inferior in every way?

Well I have not personally used an apple watch but I have a couple friends that do. In my opinion there is nothing about their apple watch that is any better than what I use mine for. I prefer the look of a classic style watch over the square but of course that is personal preference. Siri is more than likely better than Bixby if that matters to you but it isn't something I use anyways.

Hmm not sure. I took a screenshot of checkout and showed it to them in chat then they applied a 25 refund to my card. In 24 hours

Picked up the Garmin Vivoactive 3 from BB the other day to use solely for golf purposes, but am underwhelmed by the screen color and resolution. Looks like this screen is much better. Seems like the extra $35 would be worth it for the screen improvement and Smart Caddy sub, right? Anyone have direct experience with these watches on the course?

This is actual a dynamite deal if you are in the market for a mid tier golf watch that also has the capability of a workhorse smart watch. I have the Active2 from when I bought my s20 ultra last year at this time, wish I'd gotten the golf version when I realized there weren't many offerings in terms of add on golf apps. The exception is the app that comes preloaded on the golf edition, which is $100 for the unlimited version to buy after the fact. I think I'm biting on this as the watch I have is solid and wouldn't mind a second member of the stable for $135 +tax instead of investing the $100 in the app alone. TU!

I've used the trial smart caddie on my regular 44mm active2 and it was as accurate as any gps watch I've used. Checked numbers several times with my range finder to confirm landmarks and was satisfied with the numbers I was getting for it.
