Man, the gripes about battery life, software interface, and app issues, reminds me of how Pebble was such a joy to use. It also makes me wonder how competitive an option they'd be if they were still around today, and what improvements they would have made to Pebble watches.

[@gkoogz9877]

I miss pebble

[@CoryBurke]

Can't agree with this reply more. I've tried *all the smart watch platforms... Seriously, pretty much every OS and main device out there. I was doing things with my Pebble Steel watch *years ago that we still don't get in many devices today. It's crazy to me that we've gone backwards in features like this.

[@ggyougotmetoreply]

I miss my Pebble Time so much! It was great for what it was and the 5 days of battery life I was getting on it was unmatched.

[@FeliceCavaliere]

If you want great battery life get a mi band , downside to that it's not nearly as advanced , I've had a peble for a while though, it was nice

[@mini9503]

Too true. 1 day battery life for a watch is a deal breaker despite how cheap or expensive it is, I want at least _a week_ on Full brightness. OEMs need to bring back the Hybrid E-Ink + IPS display that could last for days sipping on battery. Battery life is why I gave up on smartwatches and reverted back to fitness watches.

[@TheMrMobile]

Thanks for coming out, man! Enjoy that watch; no shame in a virtual bezel! 🤣

I read that the virtual rotating bezel is inferior to one on Active 2 because it doesn't work on edge of screen. True?

Same here. Got 46mm and band is terrible. Any aftermarket band without gap between band and watch?

[@michaelbrogan8501]

@@ymmp30 Unlike the Active 2, the screen is completely flat (so no rounded edges). This makes the virtual rotating bezel harder to use. I've been thinking about disabling it for this reason.

[@adrien2228]

I received my Watch 4 40mm 2 weeks ago and I’m in love with it. Yeah it’s still new and I would say that’s why it’s exciting ! There’s a lot to come in the future to enhence user experience given Samsung is a global brand that knows how to make good smartwaches. You’re right MrMobile, the original strap is a nightmare to take out and put back and the piece that fills the corners is not great and it reduces the flexibility of the band, especially on smaller wrists like mines but it fits me. I like to switch band, from a brown leather one for a more elegant look to a silicone one when I go swimming several times a week. I went for the Watch 4 with the digital royating bezel coming from an OG Watch Active that I traded-in and I’m used to rotating my finger around the screen and I wanted the smallest watch possible and the Watch 4 is it. I’m waiting for more apps but one thing I got to admit is I love the Shazam app to quickly, without taking out your phone, identify a song. Thanks for your review ans I hope you’ll make some more videos on the evolution of this new OS and its new releases of apps.

[@heroedeleyenda05]

I just got the this watch and loved it except for the horrible battery life. my solution? i got a second one. I bought one used for 150, and just ordered a second one refurbished for 100. i figured that i can take one to work, then leave the other one charging. come home, swap them, then repeat. 250 bucks for 2 watches? seems fine to me. i also got the chrome one (which looks awesome with a stainless band, but gives my arm limited mobility) for work, and the black one with the black sports band for home,the gym, and to wear while sleeping for sleep tracking. if anyone finds this comment in the future and wants an update on how things worked out, i'd be happy to respond.

[@a4andrei]

I like the idea of a smartwatch and I've owned one in the past but after years of improvements, they still look bulky and have a ton of shortcomings (a big one is battery life). The best ones I've seen are hybrid watches that look & function like regular ones, have super long battery life and also give you some smartwatch-like features such as notifications and fitness tracking. Nice review though 😁

[@Caeric77]

While I've seen other reviews for the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, *this* is the one I was waiting for as Michael's reviews are always informative and well produced. I have already pre-purchased one as a replacement for a Galaxy Watch S3 Frontier, which has itself been a very good watch for me over the last number of years. Now to find some decent bands...

[@voiceadvicetech]

YEAH, ON POINT 🔥❤️❤️👍

[@nympho25]

s3 frontier is great when it comes to battery life

[@AnthonyKellyYip]

I just had a look in the Samsung store The rotating bezel feels really nice to use on the Classic, but in my admittedly limited hands on time I wonder if tapping and swiping the touchscreen of the standard Watch4 might feel better as it doesn't have that recessed screen / protruding bezel. Both watches do look and feel great though... except for the straps

[@drachna]

Having had both, the classic feels a lot more natural to use. The bezel also protects the screen which got quite scuffed on my watch4.

[@imnikhilnayak]

Great review, as always! But what's that intro song? Had me hooked from the get go

[@ldr8276]

Turned on notifications as I'd stopped seeing your videos popup. Thanks KZbin. Always a fair and detailed review and you're saying all the things I've been thinking since buying and using the GW4. Sadly I don't often see the same honesty from other Tech reviewers. Keep up the great work MM!

[@AndrewPenner]

Well Mr. Fisher, I just want to say thank you. You never fail to deliver informative but entertaining (and yes, FUN) videos. You cover the good and the bad, throw in your opinions and perspectives, but keep it relatable and engaging. And the overall feel and style you bring every time is just another reason I keep watching. But my favourite part, and has been for years, is the very genuine closing tag of “Stay mobile, my friends”. So yes, this is just a thank you. I know these vids take a lot of time and effort, and I for one, appreciate it very much!

[@Johnny641]

I got the Watch4 44mm, overall happy with it. My gripes so far: -Agreed the strap is pretty junk and sticks out and is lower in quality compared to the Apple silicone strap. -The Samsung pay button is not remappable to Google pay, you have to re-map the back button. This is typical Samsung. -When you upload music to the watch like a playlist, for some reason instead of it keeping your desired order of tracks it puts the tracks in the playlist in alphabetical order which is annoying. -The handling of some of the notifications on the watch can be a bit janky -The raise to wake can also be a bit hit and miss. -The included charging lead is way too short None of the above are deal breakers for me and I am hoping it be addressed with updates. Fitness tracking, and overall user experience is good and I am happy with the purchase.

Having a smart watch being capable of media control, fitness monitoring, being able to talk and text, having to charge once a day is fine. (Even though Apple and Samsung trained us for this) Any other watch that offers the same capabilities of the Samsungs and Apple watches are not that great with integration into any ecosystem and you end up losing out on a ton of useful stuff tied to your phone. Unless you get a Garmin well above and beyond the price point of these.

[@gormauslander]

I'm surprised we're still using LED screens on watches. I think that e-paper would be far better suited to this application. If a watch's battery can't last more than a day, then every promised sleep monitor feature is a lie.

My hands have crap on them a lot and it's easier to manage and you get a large screen. Mine works wonderfully and since it's new, i'm 36 hours in from the first charge, I have 36% battery left, I've been using it a lot and messing with it and I only have the stupid features that are an obvious waste of battery off. Constant stress monitoring, heart rate every 10 minutes, blood oxygen level, etc... I'm going to enjoy this long batter as long as I can, but in 14 hours, the watch has only lost 7% battery. Pretty crazy and suspectr.

Samsung/Google has removed the gesture interaction. This follows a trend of removing the gesture interactions with each successive release of Wear. Meanwhile the Apple Watch has introduced more wrist gestures interaction on the watch in their latest version. It senses your movements and your fingers so that you can interact with more variety, pinching various fingers together will generate various actions, clenching your fist another, and shaking your wrist starts a cursor on the screen that you can steer with tilt.

Finally went out mountain biking, and while listening to Spotify on my Buds and tracking my ride with Samsung health the watch went into flight mode as it overheated. Couldn't use any functions of the watch until it cooled down and was functionally useless and lost my exercise data. What's worse is I just bought my partner the Apple Watch 7 for their birthday, went through the whole ride without an issue. Love this watch but it's a massive deal breaker and defeats the main purpose of me buying it - so I can leave my Fold at home and still be contactable in case of emergencies.

Has this issue resolved in an update?

[@dannyofborg189]

I've been waiting for your review specifically before making any decisions. I haven't even started it yet and I'm so excited!

I got my 46mm watch 4 classic the day of release and have been loving it as an upgrade from my active 2, I even find the band to fit my wrist better, it keeps the watch in place without needing to be super tight like with the active 2 band.

[@japzone]

I guess that's one reason for the band design. For me though it just makes the fit awkward and not very comfortable.

[@basdfgwe]

It sounds as though majority of the issues with the watch (apart from the bands and possibly battery life) is software oriented. Hopefully they can be addressed as more people get the watch. I've got included in my phone deal.

Said it before, say it again, no one produces the quality of content you do. You're just about the only tech review who's opinion I would base a purchase on.

Thank you for assembling this review on the Samsung Watch4. I purchased a Pixel 6A yesterday and also the Samsung Watch4. I am happy with both but a little challenge for this Blackberry Key2 former user.

[@kpoplovingasian]

I was about to pick on up. Thanks for the Review. I'll wait for a bit to get it. Thanks for the heads up! Awesome review BTW.

Sorry but skipped the sponsor part

[@7doudoune77]

Does anybody know what is that orange/black watch face featured here?

[@Anearion616]

Great review as usual from @MrMobile! Is there any chance you'll be posting an update in a few months? I was going to pick one up but now I've heard your thoughts I'll definitely be waiting.

[@poland153]

Very nice video Michael, appreciate your hard work! Btw I noticed that you didnt post a video about the apple watch series 6. Do you have any plans for that? Cheers

[@superdriver777]

I've been waiting for literally *this video* before buying mine. So excited to see this!

[@crBudgetWatches]

The video explains a lot. I own a Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier and yes the latest one has more features and better screen but my Gear S3 is a as fluid and lag free as ever, still looks great , shows me the info I need and lasts me 2 days battery .

[@boldschool6308]

Great video as always

[@rodrigovalerio9548]

[@baylor3894]

[@b474zz]

great review..but cant take my eyes from the candy plate and the beginning of the video & face app.... LOL

[@BennytheMenace]

Awesome review mate, thanks so tempted to hold out like you suggest but think intrigue will get the best of me, just pissed my watch bands from current version won't work 🤣

[@jessenievera3768]

Nice review. Had my 46 mm silver bluetooth since Aug.26th and agree that the watch band "sucks". Still looking for a metal band that fits and figuring how to get some "free" watch faces that I might settle on. Maybe a tachymeter bezel too to cover the bland one.
