I appreciate the detail in this in depth review. Nice job, and thanks. (:
Hi, only just got mine at the end of last week so thank you for the info. Cheers from Australia.
Says he likes the one without the bezel and then keeps showing why I will always pay for one with it. Every time I rotate it, it works. Look how many times he is rolling around that edge and nothing is happening
To much bs about health, just go to the fkn doctor bruh. Like, tf, frfr?! I want to know about text messages, answer calls, and things like pictures, music ECT!
Can you view widgets?
We just signed up with T-mobile and they offered us two free Galaxy 4 watches @ $10 per month each to run them. Based on this video, we passed. I'm going to Costco and buy a nice Citizen watch instead. My wife doesn't wear watches anyway. The only thing I wonder, is if they'd send you out with the watches if you dont commit to the service. At least I could sell them to someone.
Samsung just revealed that they are adding the google assistant in the near future!
Edit: Its out now!
Man, why do google have to be involved, now my data is gonna be theirs and also im abit paranoid having a microphone and google on the same watch.
Great review…very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun 🙂 Do people even read manuals anymore though…lol. Great job on your video 🙂
Samsung fails me on my health app by not offering continuous hr monitoring. That's why I use cardiogram. Up until now it was not compatible with the galaxy watch series. Thank God for watch 4 with Google os!!!
you're telling me this guy wore two watches on his two different wrists for 2 weeks for this video. what a maniac.
I don't see a huge upgrade from the 3
Of course a Samsung watch works best with a Samsung phone.
Is this 44mm?
3:13 homie didn't want people to know he's 5'7 but also isn't a liar. I respect the fight brother.
First of all huge thanks for such great presentation and explanation! I do like how you talk calm without throwing your hands all over place like many others!! Big fun of your reviews!! Keep going!
Cam you talk through the watch or do you have to talk through phone???
So you can't use your watch with out your phone being near by??
I got the Watch 4 40mm as a bundle with the Z Fold 3, but I already have the older Galaxy Watch 46mm that I use everyday, I’m looking for a reason to rock the 4.
I am glad is more of a samsung watch personally. I like samsungs approach to these watches.
I like the square face of the apple watch better, would be easier to watch a video, I'm guessing. Will wait for one.
"Not approved by the FDA" That is how you know it actually works.
Is the battery easy to replace?
Great review, Brother. And, though I do like to be active, you have no apologies to offer for your "numbers". You don't look bad. Enjoy your life, enjoy your work, be well! Peace!
So do it have spotify and connect to bluetooth earphones?
Fitbit is garbage!
ummm use your brain….. eat healthier and excercise? pretty straight forward on "what to do next"
Sounds like you should just get a Samsung phone w it bub
I just can’t stop thanking and recommending this great Dr IGUDIA on YouTube to everyone because his herbs medication are indeed very effective and cures Diabetes disease once and for all.
Still sticking my watch active 2 gold. But I'm about to get this 1! Love samsung watches
I am currently using gear fit2 pro. It will not read heart rate because of my tattooed skin. Apparently this is an issue other users are experiencing…. is there anyone who can tell me if watch 4 has the same issues?
Wish I could afford the galaxy watch 4 with the wheel that moves
U are so biased, and go lose some weight for ur own good health, u dont need the watch to tell u that
I have a OnePlus 9 pro. It uses Android OS. So I can use this watch still? Even tho it's not a Samsung phone
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this issue but it seems whenever a watch face developer stops making watch faces all of thier watch faces you have purchased will disappear with no way to get them back!
The battery is terrible. Does not last 24 hours.
I didn't think I'd like the classic more but I love it so much
Biased
You literally answered zero questions of what I would expect CNET to cover. Thanks for nothing
How do you add a ringtone? My 2 active I was able to use my pho e ringtone on my watch. Now with this watch it won't let me. I hate the stupid ringtones the watch has
it has no PC connectivity for file transfers which is a MASSIVE fracking undersight IMO.
and no easy way to transfer music other than through the app, which is horrifically short sighted.
If you are not wanting all the health and fitness on your watch can you remove the apps?
I switched from fitbit charge 2 thinking it would be a massive improvement. How wrong was I! Galaxy Watch 4 doesn't record sleep well if at all! I used to be able to delete a sleep log in fitbit, log manually and the app will pick up the record and show the breakdown. Samsung Health is not clever enough to do it. There is no way of recording recipes in Samsung Health. Basically I ended up with an expensive watch. When I contacted Samsung they said they couldn't do anything. I will never buy anything Samsung ever again!
The charging station for this watch is poorly designed. Were it not for me having a PS5 to plug it in to, I would have no other way to charge this watch.
That is not true mama I have a Samsung Health app installed on my phone and it works perfectly fine.
So the ecg blood pressure feature is avaliable on the watch but you cant access it if your in the US?
Classic looks way better and way more professional. Looks more premium.
Is it work with xiaomi mobile?
