The "Control the music on the phone" part was already there before, pretty useful.

But the feel and usability of it is so awesome. I hope the durability on this new one is better. And the raise to wake feature on the active 2 is as hit or miss as is mentioned in the video.

WearOS 2 is usable on it and it gets amazing battery life its literally been a fully day and it's only on 50% and thats using Google assistant, checking notifications, and responding to messages. Mainly due to the second screen. Trust me I had the watch 4 but gave it to my mom because it's so locked to Samsung you won't get all the features like Blood pressure, or ECG with the Tic Watch no matter what Android you have should work well and you'll get full features and the ability to download what you want.

Also, Samsung has been making better watches than anything running Wear OS for a while. Just because Linus doesn't admit that Tizen watches are a thing doesn't mean they aren't there. I've been daily driving a Gear S3 Frontier (last watch with MST payment, great party trick by the way) for years and the only reason I'd ever upgrade is that the new Wear OS on the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has the Google Assistant, which apparently it doesn't right now.

[@TheSmileyTek]

Loving my Watch 4 Classic 46mm. More responsive screen than my Active 2, and a way faster processor. Of course, there are a few things that "act" a little different on the Watch 4 compared to the Active 2, but I'll get used to it. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the Ridge Sport band that I chose. Already swapped it out with some aftermarket options. The velcro nylon band, and the Apple Watch style band, were a lot better for me.

@The Lonely Proto The classic is bigger than the regular and has a rotating bezel. It's also made out of stainless steel vs aluminum and costs slightly more. That's it

@The Lonely Proto The Watch 4 is the "newer version of the Active 2", whereas the Classic has a bezel, and replaces the Galaxy Watch 3. The vanilla Watch 4 is aluminum and the Classic is Stainless or Titanium. The small Watch 4 specs are equal to the small Watch 4 Classic. Same specs for the larger diameter watches in both SKUs as well.

[@SJR275]

So I had a bad experience with the fossil q gen 4. Terrible battery, getting hot and crashed literally all the time. My gf convinced me to go for one as our office jobs prevent us from having phones out, and also I upgraded my diabetes equip to a cgm that Bluetooth my sugars to my phone (and watch). Plus 36 months interest free and 28 no question return policy from Samsung. Can honestly say I'm so happy, the battery lasts probably 2 days with good amount of use, auto workout tracking, and the sleep tracking. Plus obviously having my blood sugars on my wrist, I love it. (I've got the Galaxy Watch 4 classic 46mm)

[@michaelmcchesney6645]

I've been using a Gear S3 Classic since 2017. For the most part I only use it as a watch and for notifications. Prior to getting the watch, I would often miss notifications if my phone was in my pants or jacket pocket. I occasionally use the "find my phone app." But that's about it. I've never had any interest in the health tracking apps and generally found them annoying. There are a bunch of watch apps I suppose I COULD use. But even at 46mm the screen isn't really large enough to make them more convenient than using my phone. I am not really sure why I would buy a more expensive LTE watch and then presumably pay for a wireless plan for it. I think the novelty of making phone calls from my watch would wear off pretty quickly. I suppose if I were a runner/jogger and didn't want to carry a phone on my runs it might be useful. But I am not and it wouldn't be. I also prefer my silver watch which I wear with a metal band. I do like the charger shown in the video though. It looks far less bulky than the one that came with the Gear S3. I don't really think a watch needs to be upgraded nearly as often as a phone. I might never upgrade it actually. My battery could probably stand to be replaced. It's supposedly relatively easy to do the replacement myself. But I would prefer to find a relatively convenient place to do it for me. Anyone know a good place in NYC? I wonder of Louis Rossman does it?

[@Amusia727]

Yeah, I got a used Galaxy Watch (1) for cheap and non of these features stated in the video really entice me to upgrade. Maybe the more responsive tilt but that’s about it. I don’t really use the health app, even though I do cycle but navigation has been useful in the past.

[@KyleDavis328]

I love my Gear S3 Frontier. And it's not that hard to replace the battery (iFixit has a guide, it's about the same as for a sealed back phone, just be careful about waterproofing afterwards). And I agree, these watches don't need to be upgraded all that often. Anyone needing more computing power in my opinion is using their watch wrong. The only thing that would ever pull me to an upgrade is the Google Assistant, but that's not work forking over the money for a new smart watch.

[@StevenShermanSingularity]

Exactly like you... I've upgraded from active 2 to Watch 4 and have greatly enjoyed the upgrade. From faster response times to best watch OS and best watch hardware...

I've been daily driving the Galaxy Watch 4 since the day it released and have been enjoying it. The watch barely ever hitches, and the body tracking is quite good, if aggressive (it picked up me waving my arms while talking on the phone as doing jumping jacks). The battery lasts me about a day and a half - 2 days if I put it on battery saver. I'd have loved to be able to use my phone's wireless battery share feature (S20+) but it seems to refuse to work with the watch. The only issue I've had with it was at one point when several tiles refused to show for more than a second or so before my screen went black. I couldn't look at my sleep tracking info on the watch, which I'd been trying to do. But, one restart later, and everything is fine. Overallnim very happy with it and am happy with my purchase

[@Mercyforme]

Hello could you answer a question about the gps tracking? Im wondering if the watch can accuratly track your speed. And if so how does it display this info? Does it have a graph you can check or maybe a speed indicator? And hows the waterproofing and strength of the watch? Does it feel like tge wristbands will snap off if they get hit by something? Ty for answering.

[@skeletor_118]

@@Mercyforme I don't actually use anything that'd utilize the GPS (nor have I looked for it) so I can't really speak on that feature. It was given an IP68 rating, which means it's labeled as "dust-tight," and is good for at least 1 meter depth for up to 30 minutes (1.5m depth according to Samsung). Watch strength feels solid, I've dropped it a few times already on my tile floor, with no noticable damage. Then again, manufacturers are making current devices a lot sturdier than they used to. The wristbands feel great, in my opinion. I have to have mine set to the second loosest hole, typically, but I've had no issues with it.

Dude, I had my sgwa2 since launch. It went down the river with me NINE times before the water resistant feature failed. Still trying to bring it back to life. I loved that thing, I am hopeful for this new watch from Samsung!

[@richparkinson9647]

You can set the Apple watch apps to be a list that you scroll through. That made it much more usable for me. Then I switched to Samsung and the Watch 3 didn't live up to the Apple watch I used to have. The Classic 4 is a definite leap from the 3 though. Love it so far.

Me too, odd to say this is better than google, when google hasn't released a watch.

[@goudendynamiethd2117]

1:29 It wasn't part of the Watch3 series. It was the follow up to the Galaxy Watch Active, which was launched in March 2019. The Active2 is the follow-up, launched in August 2019. The Watch3 is released in 2020. Samsung decided to do this, because they had not released a regular Watch2 in 2019 and people thought the Watch Active2 WAS the Watch2. So to not confuse those people, Samsung decided to go with the number 3.

[@Redman147]

I've used the Active 2 for many years and I recently modded it to get the blood pressure working and it's not bad. I still use a regular monitor periodically to see how long the calibration really works for and the watch and the cuff are within margin of error of each other. Not sure why the FDA takes forever to do things, but Samsung did well with their blood pressure tech.

[@rand0mtv660]

Man, smartwatches are still so underwhelming to me. Counting steps and reading notifications still look like primary functions. I don't want to carry a notification machine on my wrist all day, it just feels so unnecessary and my phone is always near me anyway so there is no point in having a watch just to get notifications on it. I'll stick to my non "smart" watch for the foreseeable future.

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

Honestly, I say that if you listen to music, or drive alot, that is where a Smartwatch shines. Liking a song requires unlocking and opening the song on a phone, my Fitbit lets me press one button and like a song, or press another button to change a playlist. And if I'm driving, I can get infor quicker than Carplay or Auto.

[@dagher.a247]

You're wrong. Notifications in my watch is very important for me. Even in meetings or being a way of my phone I'm still able to receive updates. "A way means different room at the same home"

[@NigelMelanisticSmith]

@@leeroyjenkins0 lots of Android wear watches have physical buttons, so doing something like skipping a song is one real button on your watch rather than a fake button on your phone. Really, all the watch does is save you that few seconds of unlocking a phone, but if you repeat that phone unlock enough times in a day then the watch really does save time. I can turn off my lights with 2 buttons on my watch, which is faster than my phone or Assistant.

[@jerrodshack7610]

Great for controlling music. Great for 2FA. And it is great for quickly glancing at notifications. I don't want to get my phone out every single time I get an email and go into the app and open it when I can just glance over what it is on my wrist to know if I need to actually get my phone out to look into it or respond.

[@rand0mtv660]

I do see the point that some of you are making here and there could be few nice use cases, but that's just not enough for me. Regarding notifications, I don't want to have my notifications at a glance all the time. I don't want to be available 24/7. But everyone has a different flow so I get it if smartwatch makes your life easier in whatever way.

[@batman_uwu]

I only used my active 2 as fitness tracker and heart beat sensor for OBS during streaming. Only some priority notification is allowed. I dont need extra distraction at my arm..

I like the app layout! I'm used to the Apple Watch layout and thus don't mind it, but it is a bit of a learning curve to remember where all the apps are. I don't even use most of the apps on my watch lol but I really like the layout on the Samsung watch, it's an efficient use of space while still being...modern? It's a nice blend between the two options that the Apple Watch provides.

[@Dtr146]

Honestly just wish that there would be chargers for these things that you can use while you're still wearing the watch. I don't care if it charges slowly I just want to be able to charge it while I'm wearing it and not have to take it off. If I take it off I forget to put it back on.

[@ophast2128]

I'm still using a Gear S2 classic and although it's needed a battery replacement once and could probably use one again, still works just the same as the day I got it!

I'm super excited for Samsung to start perfecting the watch but I don't know why everyone didn't like the fossil. I've been using it for years. Fossil has an awesome super stylish watch, I would say it's not great for exercising but everyday and productivity it is awesome and last a long time.

[@jasonthirded]

[@Zathren]

I keep hearing thst Apple is the only one that makes a good smart watch. Yet I've never personally felt compelled to buy one as an Android user. What makes them so "good" anyway? It can't be Siri.

[@Auxilor]

user interface, integrations with other apple devices (as expected), great app support but mostly it's just the apple-ness of 'it just works'

[@Nickxis]

same

[@loki.8435]

If you have an iPhone, it blends in seamlessly within the ecosystem, can't say the same for wear OS in general. Although I do prefer the rounded design and the physical rotating bezel, the squared design ain't bad.

[@peglor]

Maybe the Apple watch is popular because some people like having to charge their watch every 18 hours.

[@mini9503]

It's not that Apple is "Fantastic", but rather Android Smartwatches sucked for the most part. IMO the Galaxy Watch 2's battery life still makes it a hard deal breaker.

[@mikehurt3290]

I love the rotating bezel it's so satisfying and navigating the watch is great its even fun at times I got it last day of a sale and was really impressed and love the watch

[@SilverStormShadow]

See, everyone is always saying that the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch available but that dreadful menu will always stop me from using it. Every other smartwatch I've seen or used has a better UI yet the Apple Watch receives near unanimous praise? If it works for others, great, but it's definitely not for me and I'm glad I'm not the only one who dislikes it.

For the Apple Watch, you can switch the apps to a list mode instead so you're not stuck with the grid if you don't like it.

If you're buying a top of the line smartwatch I would assume you'd have a recent smartphone too. My smartwatch is literally the only device that 1. Has a proprietary charger. Sure, I can live with that. But 2. I need to make sure I have a USB-A port power adapter with me just for the watch. Standard phone adapter and power bank have all gone USB-C. That's a double inconvinience.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Qi charging. It's one of the biggest advantages of the Samsung watches over other WearOS products (Fossil Group watches are notorious for the crappy dual "ring" chargers which constantly break and require a proprietary cable). It also would have been good to show a current gen WearOS watch as a comparison for the absolutely chonky thickness of all WearOS watches.

7:48 Uhh I'll have to disagree on that, since it's a personal watch, I remember the exact location of the most 10 apps around the clock, and arrange the rest to my likliness in finding them. It is perfectly normal for other users to have trouble finding anything on my own watch, but it doesn't mean it's less useful. I like the globe pattern more than the up and down list of apps simply because I can quickly locate the app icon no matter which direction I put the icon. Also, I keep my icon count to the minimum and I put the useless built-in apps to one useless corner.

[@Pr04basher]

I seem to be the only one who just switched from a "Gear S3 frontier" to this and I see quite a few things that are feeling not finished. The swiping on the watch does in fact not feel as responsive (without stuttering)... the App drawer can not be opened via the lower button and has to be opened with a swiping gesture... the scrolling in some apps does not work with the ring... there are nearly no watchfaces available right now... the battery seems not to be that much better than the battery on my 3-4 years old Gear S3. They really need to get the software updated fast. But tbh. I am still excited about the apps that might now be coming to Samsung watches. I find it extremely cool what kind of measurements the watch can do. My Gear S3 wasn't perfect when I got it and it became better and better from update to update... so there is a good chance that this watch will also get some pretty good updates in the near future
