I love this watch, as I still continue to use it 6 months later at the time of this review. If your looking at something to help you keep track of the time, exercising, sleep and more, than this is for you.
It has a very easy to use app, and very easy to set up, takes no more than 5 minutes to set up, not including the time it takes for the watch itself update. It looks great and functions great. You can add nice wallpapers to the background and change how the watch face looks, with different colors and styles. It does a great job at counting steps and keeping track of exercises. Even if you don’t tell the watch your about to exercise it will automatically detect that you are doing one and start tracking calories burned, steps taken, and more!
Even if you don’t have a Samsung phone it still will work with any android phone for the most part. I no longer have a Samsung phone from when I bought this watch, but I still continue to the watch with my Google Pixel 7a.
The only thing about the watch that isn’t the greatest is the battery life. This watch will last one day, that’s all. Luckily it is easy to charge as it just uses a included wireless charger, so you won’t have to plug the watch in.
Overall an amazing watch packed with great features for a great price. If your looking for a watch that isn’t going to break the bank but also isn’t complete garbage than this is what your looking for!

Ive had many smartwatches. Moto 360, the bulky LG Sport, Fossil Gen 4 and Fossil Gen 5 (that I lost). I loved the Fossil watches because they are high quality watches using WearOS. Never liked Samsung because of Tizen. So when I lost my Fossil Gen 5, I naturally was going to upgrade to the Fossil Gen 6. I did do some other research too and the more I researched, the more I started to like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. I don’t like bulky watches and the Watch 4 was more slender than the Classic. Reading these Amazon reviews, I was almost scared away. Anything from Google Pay not supported to the touch bezel doesn’t work at all.

Let me just say, not sure if these reviews were early updates or what but Google Pay works just fine and the touch bezel works just fine (although I scroll with my finger anyways). The touch bezel is good for turning volumes up and down and it works perfectly whenever I use it.

Another contributing factor to choosing Galaxy Watch 4 over Fossil Gen 6 is the Fossil wasn’t releasing with WearOS 3.0. I believe at the time of me typing this review, the Galaxy Watch 4 is the only released device with WearOS 3.0 and it is a major improvement on previous WearOS versions.

I’m not a health nut but the integration with Samsung Health is amazing. I do like to track my steps and sleep and this watch is awesome for that. For sleep, all I do is turn bedtime mode on and go to sleep. The watch does the rest. Monitors blood oxygen and how well you slept. Not sure how accurate it truly is but I do like knowing about how long I’ve slept.

As far as battery life, it lasts at least all day long. Usually longer. I use it moderately at work checking notifications, replying to messages and controlling my music and when I get home from working a 8-10 hour day, my watch is around 40%-30% typically. I put it on the charger before bed, put it on at 100% at bedtime and wake up to about 85% battery for the day.

DO NOT LET OTHER REVIEWS DISCOURAGE YOU! I challenge you to do your own research. Watch YouTube videos or even go to a local phone store and look/feel the watch. It’s definitely the best watch I’ve owned to date.

If I had to give downsides, it would have to do with Samsungs integration into WearOS 3.0. The Bixby button is NOT reprogrammable to Google Assistant but can be disabled (not remapped). However, from videos I’ve watched, the Bixby assistant is useful on the watch as it can turn on and off settings by asking it. The other complaint is not being able to reprogram the Samsung Pay button. If you press and hold the bottom button, it opens Samsung Pay by default. Which is annoying if you want to use Google Pay. However, once you properly install and set up Google Pay (and make it default payment method), you don’t need to open Google Pay to pay anywhere. Just tap your watch. But if you want to use a different card, you’d have to go into your apps and open Google Pay or assign it to open with a double tap of the top button (that action can be programmed to anything.).

With the Galaxy Watch 4 still fairly new, I’m hoping Samsung continues to provide updates from community feedback.

And by this time, I’ve hope you read my entire review and are placing your order now. Stop second guessing yourself, this watch in my opinion is the best out there right now.
