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.

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

A sideways step for Samsung watches but a big jump forward for Wear OS, the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic is now the number one Apple Watch alternative

Good fitness tracking, The best Wear OS watch to date, Retains plenty of Samsung flavour

Short battery life in 42mm version, Some interface quirks during exercise, Compatibility restrictions for non-Samsung phones

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

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

Even if you aren't a huge Samsung fan, you'll find a lot to like....

If you want a stylish smartwatch then the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 looks fantastic and isn't overly expensive. Running on Wear OS powered by Samsung, it's incredibly straightforward with easy access to everything Google.

Screen comes in two sizes, Smart, modern and waterproof design, Reliable fitness tracking

Average battery life, You need a Galaxy phone for some features, Body composition measurements vary each time

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

Great watch. My wife loves it. A fairly steep learning curve for those a little ‘technically’ developing.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features
