Whether you're looking for an all-singing, all-dancing smartwatch or just a smart-looking tracker, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series seemingly does it all. These watches are slimmer, more powerful and more affordable than their predecessors, giving Android phone users a compelling option to...

Accurate and very useful fitness tracking, Two-day battery, Water resistance, Convenient wireless charging, Fluid and customisable interface

Standard model design is quite plain, Touch interface not always intuitive, Feels more like Tizen than Wear OS

The best smartwatch on the market right now, hampered only by the fact that some of its latest and greatest features are exclusive to Samsung Galaxy users. You also pay a premium for that Classic styling.

Wear OS works better than ever, Tasteful, tactile design, Feature-packed, Great performance

Some Samsung phone-exclusive features, Price premium for Classic styling, Wear OS 3 with caveats

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.

Excellent performance, Interesting new software, Lightweight design

Limited compatibility, Lacks rotating bezel, No exciting fitness upgrades

“The Galaxy Watch 4 has great health and fitness-tracking features in a comfortable build designed for smaller wrists.”

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

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.

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 Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will now gradually become for Samsung's ecosystem what the Apple Watch is for iPhone users.

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.

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.

Advanced processor. Third-party app ecosystem seems promising. Gives more customizability to Android users.

Battery life is a little disappointing. Body composition feature is tricky. Really, no Google Assistant? Drops iOS compatibility.
