Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review: The first take of a great future idea

This might be the best Android watch right now, but it's still missing a few pieces. I'd love to say the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, which starts at $250 (£249), delivers the ultimate Android watch experience. I can't quite say that, but it's close. After wearing Samsung's newest watches for two weeks, however, I've liked it more over time. It's the first to run a whole new Google Wear OS co-designed by Samsung and Google, and while I'd say the future looks promising, the present looks a little unresolved. In a sense, my final feelings now are still pretty similar to my first few days wearing them.
Pros:
  • Lots of health-tracking features
  • Excellent display, fast processor
  • New Google OS includes Play apps
  • Great watch faces so far
Cons:
  • ECG and blood pressure features require a Samsung phone to use
  • Samsung Health still the default health app
  • Has Bixby instead of Google Assistant
  • Only 1-2 days of battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Is Almost Android's Apple Watch

The company's new smartwatches breathe new life into Google's Wear OS 3, and a dose of hope for the future.
Pros:
  • Bright OLED screens. Smooth performance. Accurate health and fitness tracking features. Well-priced. Comfortable to wear. Greater access to popular apps.
Cons:
  • No iOS compatibility. ECG is limited to Samsung phones. Battery life on smaller sizes is disappointing. Still lacks broad app support.

Samsung Galaxy Watch4 40mm Silver SM-R860NZSAXNZ review

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4’s sharp design, smart software and standout health sensor make for a promising upgrade that somehow costs less than last year’s version. Plus the Classic model still offers everyone’s favorite rotating bezel.
Pros:
  • Slimmer design and new watch faces, New Wear OS feels like Tizen, but with more apps, First major smartwatch with body composition analysis, More affordable than Galaxy Watch 3
Cons:
  • Concerns with BIA sensor, Battery life can be inconsistent

There's no doubting that the Galaxy Watch 4 is another solid smartwatch from Samsung. It's slick, looks good and performs well in most departments. This is supposed to be a Samsung smartwatch, with Google software flowing through it, but right now it feels very familiar.
Pros:
  • Nice, minimalist design, Good price, Feature packed, Slick performance

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review: A sensory experience

Whether you're looking for an all-singing, all-dancing smartwatch or just a smart-looking fitness tracker, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series seemingly does it all. These watches are slimmer and more powerful than their predecessors - and more affordable too. It's quite the showcase for how far Wear OS has come in a short period of time.
Pros:
  • Accurate and very useful fitness tracking
  • Two day battery
  • Water resistant
  • Convenient wireless charging
  • Fluid and and customisable interface
Cons:
  • Design on regular model is quite plain
  • Touch interface not always intuitive
  • Feels more like Tizen than Wear OS

Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 4 R860 (40mm, Black) - BRAND NEW review

It’s a good question to ask. For me, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is closer to the Apple Watch though it’s not there yet. But I am fine with it because the Watch 4 is anyway not compatible with the iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 4 R860 (40mm, Black) - BRAND NEW review

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will now gradually become for Samsung's ecosystem what the Apple Watch is for iPhone users.
Pros:
  • Looks like and feels like a real watch. Nice and fast user interface based on the round dial. Comes with eSIM as well as lots of training functions and new health functions such as ECG and measurement of body composition.
Cons:
  • Blood pressure measurement requires calibration using the correct cuff blood pressure monitor. Unlike its predecessor, it does not support the iPhone, and you only get full functionality if you use a Samsung Galaxy mobile.
