Samsung has historically made some of the greatest smartwatches available, and the Galaxy Watch 4 is no exception. It is the greatest smartwatch to use in conjunction with an Android phone. While the company’s previous wristwatch generations were built on the Tizen platform, the Galaxy Watch 4 is built on Google’s WearOS 3 platform and has the familiar One UI interface.
As a consequence, the wristwatch has access to the Google Play store, which offers a large library of applications, as well as other Google services like Google Pay.
The hardware of the Galaxy Watch 4 is consistent with Samsung’s prior smartwatches, which is fantastic. A circular OLED screen, an aluminum casing, and a standard 20mm replacement silicone strap are included. The watch is well-made, and it comes in two sizes: 40mm and 44mm.
The Watch 4’s performance is quick, and the UI is pleasant. However, the battery life of the 40mm device is restricted to around one full day of moderate to heavy usage, but the 44mm variant with a somewhat larger battery may last about a day and a half.
The smartwatch incorporates Samsung’s superb health and fitness functions. Steps, exercises, sleep, and heart rate can all be tracked with the Galaxy Watch 4. It also boasts precise exercise detection, blood oxygen monitoring, an integrated GPS, and an ECG app. You may also measure body composition statistics such as body fat percentage, skeletal muscle, body water, and more.
Because it’s a Samsung device, it’s closely linked with the Samsung ecosystem, which is great if you already have a Samsung phone. However, if you have a phone from another manufacturer, you will need to install a slew of Samsung applications in order to utilize the wristwatch successfully. Furthermore, the ECG app is only compatible with Samsung phones.
