Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 4 R860 (40mm, Silver) - BRAND NEW review
An incredible smartwatch for Samsung phone users but a little underwhelming when it comes to battery life
Samsung Galaxy Watch Series 4 R860 (40mm, Black) - BRAND NEW review
The Wear OS-powered Galaxy Watch 4 acts as the perfect equivalent of an Apple Watch but for the Android ecosystem. However, although it's a great wearable that would fit just about anybody, the Galaxy Watch 4 fails to deliver in one key aspect that's ultimately the most important feature of a...- Stylish design, Bright and vivid OLED display, Excellent health tracking, Wear OS is a great match, Good haptic feedback
- One-day battery life at best, Gimmicky capacitive rotating bezel, No Google Assistant support yet

The high-end Galaxy Watch4 Classic features a stainless steel design and a rotating bezel backed by a better software experience and more third-party apps than previous Samsung smartwatches, though you can get a similar experience for $100 less with the standard Watch4 model.- Attractive classic watch design, Rotating physical bezel for easy navigation, Bright, sharp display, Fast processor, Body fat and composition measurements, Tracks snoring, More third-party apps than previous Samsung watches
- Short battery life, Third-party app selection still trails Apple's watchOS
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4’s headline feature is a revamp of its software that combines the look and feel of Samsung’s existing Tizen platform and the functionality of Wear OS. It has good fitness features, strong battery life and a comfortable design. There are some compatibility issues, which may frustrate some potential buyers, but largely the Galaxy Watch 4 is an interesting iteration of Samsung’s top smartwatch formula.- Excellent performance
- Interesting new software
- Lightweight design
- Limited compatibility
- Lacks rotating bezel
- No exciting fitness upgrades

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.- Lots of health-tracking features
- Excellent display, fast processor
- New Google OS includes Play apps
- Great watch faces so far
- 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 Galaxy Watch 4 has great health and fitness-tracking features in a comfortable build designed for smaller wrists.”

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.- 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
- 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.- Nice, minimalist design, Good price, Feature packed, Slick performance

Really good, can easily receive and make calls. Can read incoming messages and emails and reply using surprisingly accurate voice-to-text. Waterproof so don't need to take it off to shower. Finally a useful smart watch, will be better when Google Assistant app comes
