Hey Michael! Just discovered you today. Was looking for a Galaxy Watch 4 review. And I must say, this is the best review out there by a huge margin. Unlike other youtubers who just walk us through the specsheet and add their opinions, it really shows in the video that you have throughly tested the device and your review is more from the user's point of view. Covers everything I wanted to know before I make a purchase. Have pre-ordered it. Let's hope it doesn't make me regret not buying Fitbit Sense which has a much better battery life I have heard and all the health features are approved here in India. On that point, none of the previous Samsung Watches got full approval here which makes me sceptical for this as well. If one takes out ECG & BP functionality, would you say there are better value for money alternatives out there? Coming from Emporio Armani Smartwatch 3 which only had heart rate tracking, this is certainly a big upgrade, but the battery life of my EA was a huge concern for me, had to charge it twice daily, which by the looks of it seems like it will be haunting me with this one as well. Great video anyways, just a small suggestion, if possible talk a more about the mechanics of certain features, like how they work, how are the insights etc.
@@jagsbond it is working fine. right now in India it is available for under 8000, in that price range it is certainly the most accurate Smartwatch out there but it absolutely isn't medical grade so you have to keep that in mind. BP and ECG are not yet available in India but you can always side load them and use them in India. ECG is pretty accurate but BP not as much, it is a good indicator but you cannot relay upon it when you need it like when you are feeling some discomfort. activity tracking has been very good on this watch I have nothing to complain about sometimes when I am not using GPS then accuracy of my path can be a bit off but mostly it is acceptable. again we have to look at the price we are getting it and in 8000 rupees this will be the most accurate watch you will find. battery life is anywhere between one day and 2 days depending up on the usage, how much activity tracking have you done how much display you are using and if you are using mobile networks. it still has three major updates over 2 years left so nice right now is any good a time to buy it.
These tests on the watch were really the only truly FULL review, not only for customers in Philippine but also Taiwan, and probably even for all videos on UA-cam! Thank you tested on the machine InBody and compare with the watch!!
That was a great unbiased review, thank you very much from North Yorkshire England. I have been a Watch 4 user for a few months now and I just love it. Using the USB charger, my phone is up and running in about an hour to an hour and a half (40mm version) it had google assistant straight out of the box, the ecg will now warn you of any issues and the blood pressure monitor is both easy to set up and darn accurate too. I love the sleep tracking and have no issues with the deep sleep monitoring whatsoever. I guess in a year the watch 4 has improved dramatically. The Watch 5 was on sale when I got mine but I could not justify the extra cost and the 4 is an absolute bargain. If anybody is in the market for a top end smartwatch, the Watch 4 is a no brainer must purchase.
Update: Just got my Watch 4 and I love it! Love going for jogs without my phone but still with music in. Have the same gripes of the lack of HIIT, and the really low Deep Sleep reading. Hope Samsung sticks with it with updates moving forward!
@@dinon367 yep for me, my 44mm is a 1 day device, maybe 1.5 in a pinch. I've been pleasantly surprised with the GPS battery however - Am keen to do more testing, but today I went on a 3 hour hike with only about 30% battery drop - Samsung hasn't given any official numbers, but I can see it being a 9-11 hour Battery life with GPS ON (admittedly, I had to turn off some settings like AOD, and Wifi+BT). For Music + GPS runs, I've had about 25-35% battery drain per hour, so probably 2-4 hour battery life with GPS + MUSIC. TBH This isn't far off from some of the old Fitbit devices I've tried in the past. Again, keen to do more testing. I think it's quite similar to the way that my friends have described their Apple Watches - I feel like that the Apple ones have similar shortcomings with battery + having to charge daily. The battery life is not amazing on the GW4, but I feel like it is line with a watch with these smart features, design, screen, and thin-ness!
Great review. I have a Samsung Gear S3 and have been waiting to upgrade because Samsung has only made minor updates through the years. I thought this would be the year to get into a new Samsung watch, but the lackluster fitness tracking and the incredibly poor battery life convinced me to go with a Garmin Venu 2. I get 10 days of battery life and amazing fitness tracking including coaching and building your own training plans. The only thing I lost was the ability to take calls from the watch. I liked that feature, but not enough to take such a hit on battery life.
The build your own workouts thing is one of the main reasons I'm considering venu over the Samsung. I know the app workout trainer will allow you to build workouts for the Samsung but that's one more place to have to view stats rather than just the connect dashboard. :/
@@ronelrobles6772 Yeah Asians are usually short and slim. Not being racist just saying facts. Most fit Asians i see are lean af and short when in the gym (not all of them of course)
Much appreciated! Going to purchase one today on the way home. Was a iPhone user a few months ago and had the Watch 3, wasn't too impressed. Unsure to what I'm looking to get out of this watch, but the entire package for the 46mm GW classic seems the way to my heart. Looking forward to merging my phone to it. Thanks!!
Amazing review. Was really interested in the BIA featured and was shocked by how close it seems to the much, much more expensive (professional?) option.
This is the first Fitbit I have used. It has some new features ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbkrje8Y7BaqRkAjimw-55ajvVo7RbcIp and I like the information that it gives me.I think the phone app could be designed to be a bit more accommodating, as it can be confusing to use. The rubber band is comfortable, and normally I do not like rubber bands for my watches, but this is comfortable.I am looking forward to seeing if this helps me stay accountable in my fitness endeavors!My only gripe is the box was very damaged when it arrived, however, the tracker is performing perfectly!
If you are mentioning about water touch, please also mentioning about the water lock feature. And you can change the data field for workout to show whatever you want in one page.
As a die hard 10+ year Samsung user it was "hard" to accept the devices shortcomings 😟 BUT it was great to see such a detailed comparison between other devices. It's a great pair to my S22 ultra and it has all I need to fit my lifestyle. Can't wait for it to catch up to Apple Watch! Great deal at T-mobile... trade in old galaxy, get credit, purchase newer phone and get the watch free
This is one of the most informative and best review I have ever watched on youtube. So much so that it has made my mind up as to whether or not I want one. 👍
This is the best review I have seen. It covered absolutely everything I needed to know before buying it. You are the first one I found to do exactly how it needs to be done. Well done, subscribed
Great review. I’ve watched every review I can find for the 4 and the 4 Classic and I think this is the best I’ve seen. I’m surprised I’ve never seen your reviews before and just started going through your others, which are equally as informative. I have both Apple and Samsung products so it’s great that you review and have expertise in both.
Excellent and very in-depth review! Subscribed! I'd like to point out that every missing feature that is mentioned is purely software things, which means that apps and/or software updates can put them in the watch in the future. And I find that great!
You know what I would LOVE to see? Exactly how do you use the Watch 4 at the Gym, for a regular workout, NOT only running. How to add exercises one after another? Do you use the option "Other Workout"? Do you think it really works?
Thank you so much for mentioning the issues with deep sleep measurement. I've had this watch for 6 months and have been wondering how I'm even surviving on one or two minutes of deep sleep per night!
One of the best reviews that I have seen 👍. Hope in future these smart watches have a battery life of at least 48 hours. Till then, I will stick to my Coros watch for tracking my long runs. I currently get over 2 weeks with single charge.
Very comprehensive review! Really helps those of us looking to buy one soon. Can you connect your external chest strap and monitor your HR while working out ? The older one's didn't connect to an external HRM, hope they fixed it with this.
16:13 I found the included charging plug charges the watch the quickest: still slowly but well under 2 hours 0-100%. The Wireless Charger Duo and Trio both are slower, giving the quoted extremely slow charging times.
*I have had a Fitbit Altra for years but the battery was not lasting **bestgym.equipment** Ordered the Charge 5 and so far, so good. Still learning how to manipulate the screen and it has more features than I will use, but it is a big improvement over the Altra and the battery lasts a week or more!*
Great review! This will significantly improve my exercise and overall health. I won't have to take my phone with me anymore to listen to music and that's a huge plus since I don't have to worry about the size of my phone anymore.
Sorry to ask question to you after you commented 2 years ago, but do you can link your samsumg heath app to your phone even when the phone is away, I mean you can you just go workout without your phone and then go back to your phone and can all the new data that collected when the phone is away to the phone and update to samsung health app in phone. Sorry for a long question.
Wow! The body composition comparison was amazing. Your video really helped me to learn about the 4 as I've been considering getting one. Thank you. I have a Galaxy S10 phone. Will these work together?
For real, right? I literally had a friend ask about this watch earlier and I recommended she watch the GadgetMatch review. And that was _before_ I'd seen this vid. He has high quality video and, more importantly, high quality content.
I have the same problem with my Watch Active2, while in the shower. I had found that you can just use the "Water Mode" which will block accidential touches, but still allows you to read incoming notifications and such.
My Galaxy Watch 4 classic 46mm lasted a day and a half with doing more than just checking the time,I constantly checked the weather and notifications and even when I spent time installing Apps it still lasted more than a day and it took less than 2 hours to charge from dead to full.
Great review. I will say I have a friend who has this watch and he does love the sleep tracking and doesn't have the problem with the low deep sleep reading. Cause the dude in the video was wearing 4 watches, the position of the watch may have been bad and lead to a bad reading
Fantastic job on the review, I have been a die hard Samsung user since the S2 and have also been using the Samsung Galaxy watch when they were annoyed. Can you do a comparison between Samsung Galaxy watch 4 vs Apple watch series 6 or 7? Debating if I should switch to apple or stay with Samsung.
Best honest review till now.. really feels the difference compared to other reviews that you are not trying to sell this product just say the pros and cons.
I have both and I absolutely prefer the Watch 4. I find the Apple Watch very limited. Besides that the sensors on the Watch 4 are better. Samsung Health is a far better piece of software than Apple's version.
I really appreciate the detailed reviews regarding fitness, the only reason I'm tempted to get the galaxy smart watch is to better track my workouts and burned calories to go along with my samsung phone fitness ap etc.
great review, this watch is worth buying even in 2024, sleep tracking is a fixed issue now, i get almost 1 to 1.5 hours of deep sleep. price is less than $200. great watch
Really love this guy's enthusiasm and energy! Just subbed since there aren't many tech channels I like to watch and enjoy, but your videos always keep my interest😊 Also looking really nice and fit! You have my body goals😂
Strava doesn't notify you of distance intervals any more. It did on my frontier but not on my gw4. I'm gonna try to use the Samsung health app to track and transfer the data to Strava.
I loved your videos! all the best wishes for the new year! I will buy this watch in Colombia! now it is on sale for about 275 us dollars. 44mm non LTE.
Been thinking which one to choose. Now I want the galaxy watch 4⌚️. Just not happy about the deep sleep accuracy issue but I think I will be fine with that. As always, thank you for your honest review. 🙂
Great review. Charging twice a day is a deal breaker for me. My little fitbit charge has fewer features but does the important stuff and goes days without charging.
Stellar review, more insight, groundbreaking discovery and not to mention the style used to express seamless transition of the functionality of the watch. in all, it puts the icing on the cake I say well-done josh, Top-notch.
Best watch for an android user? Are you including Garmin in there? I’m switching back to android and I’m looking for a good smartwatch with great fitness features. I just recently looked into Garmin which seems to be more accurate? However, the galaxy watch may have better smart features. I don’t know. I wish I knew someone who could compare the top smartwatches for android. Fitbit sense, galaxy watch 4 and Garmin venue 2 plus. Amazing review by the way. Incredibly thorough. Best review I’ve seen on the watch. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.
I find that interesting, that no one mentions the problem, that the galaxy watch 4 tends to lose the heart rate quite so often during workouts, even when you do everything right, and the watch should be able to get the readings. I had the same problem with the watch active as well. I am disappointed, that samsung didn't manage to solve that issue for so long. I loved the watch for every other aspect, but I returned it because this bug. So just a tip: if you want to track fitness and don't want to check your watch every 5 minutes worried whether it still records heart rate data, you should not buy a samsung watch.
@@user-mj6qr2ky9d Not that I know of. I sold the watch in november, but my guess would be no. If you would like to use your watch for activity tracking I highly recommend considering a different brand. I settled with Garmin and comparing these two, Samsung performes ridicolously in that department.
@@juditpapp3090 which Garmin smartwatch do u have and how is the battery life? Do u have a Samsung phone as well? Is Google maps possible with ur watch?
@@user-mj6qr2ky9d I purchased a Fenix 6s Pro and I use it with a samsung phone. There is no native app for google turn by turn navigation, but you can download 3rd party apps that can do it for you. There are videos on YT if you would like to look into it. It will not give you that smooth experience that the GW4 did with the google navigation, but it works. If you would like maps for trekking or mountaineering then the F6 gets you covered. Edit: Battery life is around 6-7 days with normal use for the smallest model. The bigger models have even more.
Yessssssssssss. My Active 2 sometime looses HR for a while...but the 4 can take up to 1 hour without HR tracking. Frustrating. The update fixes a little the HR Tracking on my bicycle, but messed up other activitities :(
As of 2023, the Watch 4 Classic can at least track reps and sets for _some_ exercises. The ones I've tested are: - crunches - back extensions - bench press - deadlift - squats - curls - tricep extensions - lateral raises - lat pulldowns It's not a lot, but at least for some of these workouts, it'll detect variations as the same thing. For example, it'll count a standing cable press-down, a standing overhead ez-bar extension, _and_ a lying skullcrusher all as "triceps extensions." Same with deadlifts: standard deadlifts, sumos, RDLs, kettlebell deadlifts, will all tick reps for "deadlifts." The only exercise that seems a bit finicky are bench presses; it'll count flat bench bar/dumbbell and incline bar/dumbbell, but it doesn't like seated machine presses. It won't even start the workout. Outside of that, the only other problem I see is that while it'll track reps and sets, it won't track weights. You'll have to leave a note on each exercise what weights you used, after the fact. And it won't be quantified in any sort of manner the way Garmin Connect does. That said, it's still a far better option than Google Fit or Huawei Health. Those two are just for cardio. PS, you'll find an option for "circuit training" which I think covers HIIT.
Nice job. Really have not found any other review with as much detail on the fitness aspect of the 4. I have the LTE Classic on order ship around the 14th of September. Had a couple of questions. 1. If I recall correctly the 4 has the ability to run Google Fit or Samsung Health, but can only run on or the other not both. Is that correct? 2. One other review I saw, the reviewer was scrolling the fitness app on the watch and the watch had a +(plus) symbol which looked like you could add an exercise or activity. Are you finally able to add an activity to the watch from Samsung Health on your phone or does it still just use what is stored on the watch and is hidden? Example Samsung Health on the phone has a list of activities such as Rowing, Kayaking or Skiing. Can I add one of these activities to the 4? For whatever reason Samsung since the beginning with the GearFit in 2017 has resisted allowing you to add activities. Hoping they finally changed.
Have you had it in a pool? River/lake? Most waterproof testing is done on a counter top, meaning it doesn't actually test real life uses! Shower seems important as well, but a swimmer going for a swim is much different
I believe he's wearing the 44mm watch 4. Ok I made some more observations. When you see the blue strapped galaxy watch in the beginning of the video it's the 44mm. The one he's wearing at briefly at15:37 is definitely the 40mm. You can tell by the bezel size and obviously smaller look. So he seemlying wore the 44mm in most of the video.
@@Clipppers Np. But upon receiving the notification for your reply I looked through the video again. I was wrong. He's definitely wearing the 40mm throughout the video. Sorry about that. Look at 6:40 and 8:08 especially it's def the 40mm. If you want to see the 44mm on a small wrist. There s channel called CJ unplugged. He has skinny arms like this dude but he has the 44mm watch. It also seems to fit well on smaller wrist tbh. The straps on the watch stick out a bit so I'm thinking if you get the 44 and change out the strap to a reg watch band. The 44 should be fine. That's what I'm thinking about doing because I'm pretty slim myself. Still tryna cement my decision though but that's were I'm at currently.
@@lilmario0 Ok ill check out the channel you suggested, ty. I have small wrists too so im just not sure what to get yet. Theres a guy named "freds aquariums and electronics" with the 44mm and he has small wrists too, might help you out aswell.
Thanks Brett! Really enjoyed it! Also, I want to add here, recently I started using this watch to see my glucose readings from FreeStyle Libre sensor without the phone, which was not possible with previous versions of the Galaxy Watch3 and before. To get FreeStyle Libre sensor readings on the watch, I paired my NightRider BluCon device to an app LinkBluCon on watch and placed the NightRider BluCon device on top of the Libre sensor with the help of a patch, I know how difficult for people with diabetes to monitor it without good tools
Honestly. Thank you so much for showing off the fitness stuff in such detail. No other reviewer has done it this well, subscribed.

I’m surprised I’ve never seen your reviews before and just started going through your others, which are equally as informative.
I have both Apple and Samsung products so it’s great that you review and have expertise in both.
Much appreciated!
Excellent and very in-depth review! Subscribed!
I'd like to point out that every missing feature that is mentioned is purely software things, which means that apps and/or software updates can put them in the watch in the future. And I find that great!
You know what I would LOVE to see? Exactly how do you use the Watch 4 at the Gym, for a regular workout, NOT only running. How to add exercises one after another? Do you use the option "Other Workout"? Do you think it really works?
Absolutely brilliant review as always
Thank you.
@1:16 you had a lot of thoughts.
@1:12 you had a lot of abs.
Thank you so much for mentioning the issues with deep sleep measurement. I've had this watch for 6 months and have been wondering how I'm even surviving on one or two minutes of deep sleep per night!
Love the in-depth review and love the Philippine and Singapore pricing list
Excellent, thorough and informative review. Thank you so much for your work!
One of the best reviews that I have seen 👍. Hope in future these smart watches have a battery life of at least 48 hours. Till then, I will stick to my Coros watch for tracking my long runs. I currently get over 2 weeks with single charge.
Your clips are the best as always my friend!
Thank you.
Very comprehensive review! Really helps those of us looking to buy one soon. Can you connect your external chest strap and monitor your HR while working out ? The older one's didn't connect to an external HRM, hope they fixed it with this.
I am still looking too see if there is a strap that is compatible. Haven't been able to find one yet.
@@gadgetmatch Thanks for replying! Looks like watch 4 doesn't support external HRMs then. Do update if that changes!
My watch arrives tomorrow... I can't wait!!! Thanks for this review!!!!
16:13 I found the included charging plug charges the watch the quickest: still slowly but well under 2 hours 0-100%. The Wireless Charger Duo and Trio both are slower, giving the quoted extremely slow charging times.
Amazing, got tge watch on sale for 80 usd , thank u for answering all my queries in detail
Brilliant review had to watch the whole thing. Very professional unbiased review. Thanks. Subscribed!
Appreciate it man
Man... That was really an awesome review. I own the 46mm silver LTE. Keep it up. Battery is definitely a bust
*I have had a Fitbit Altra for years but the battery was not lasting **bestgym.equipment** Ordered the Charge 5 and so far, so good. Still learning how to manipulate the screen and it has more features than I will use, but it is a big improvement over the Altra and the battery lasts a week or more!*
Continue this for all the fitness trackers cheers for the vid and your upcoming success
Great review! This will significantly improve my exercise and overall health. I won't have to take my phone with me anymore to listen to music and that's a huge plus since I don't have to worry about the size of my phone anymore.
Sorry to ask question to you after you commented 2 years ago, but do you can link your samsumg heath app to your phone even when the phone is away, I mean you can you just go workout without your phone and then go back to your phone and can all the new data that collected when the phone is away to the phone and update to samsung health app in phone. Sorry for a long question.
Anyone here thought Chucky Lozano was calling him? At 3:54
No? Ok it was just me 😂😂
Amazing review. Well detailed and well explained. Definitely getting me one of those.
The best in depth review so far. Love you man!
Great Great, review, you are of my favorite reviewers here on UA-cam, thank you 😊 😀
Thank you for such detailed video!
Wow! The body composition comparison was amazing. Your video really helped me to learn about the 4 as I've been considering getting one. Thank you. I have a Galaxy S10 phone. Will these work together?
Yea, it just has to be a Galaxy in order to get the plugin for the ECG to work
How are you not at 1mill subs yet, your production quality has been incredible for forever now
Totally agree
We’ll get there. Thank you.
For real, right? I literally had a friend ask about this watch earlier and I recommended she watch the GadgetMatch review. And that was _before_ I'd seen this vid. He has high quality video and, more importantly, high quality content.
I have the same problem with my Watch Active2, while in the shower. I had found that you can just use the "Water Mode" which will block accidential touches, but still allows you to read incoming notifications and such.
My Galaxy Watch 4 classic 46mm lasted a day and a half with doing more than just checking the time,I constantly checked the weather and notifications and even when I spent time installing Apps it still lasted more than a day and it took less than 2 hours to charge from dead to full.
Great review. I will say I have a friend who has this watch and he does love the sleep tracking and doesn't have the problem with the low deep sleep reading. Cause the dude in the video was wearing 4 watches, the position of the watch may have been bad and lead to a bad reading
Fantastic job on the review, I have been a die hard Samsung user since the S2 and have also been using the Samsung Galaxy watch when they were annoyed. Can you do a comparison between Samsung Galaxy watch 4 vs Apple watch series 6 or 7? Debating if I should switch to apple or stay with Samsung.
Best honest review till now.. really feels the difference compared to other reviews that you are not trying to sell this product just say the pros and cons.
I have both and I absolutely prefer the Watch 4. I find the Apple Watch very limited. Besides that the sensors on the Watch 4 are better.
Samsung Health is a far better piece of software than Apple's version.
Are you sure?
I really appreciate the detailed reviews regarding fitness, the only reason I'm tempted to get the galaxy smart watch is to better track my workouts and burned calories to go along with my samsung phone fitness ap etc.
What's size watch 4 were your wearing?
VERY informative...covering points other reviewers never do..thank you.
I’m rewatching this as my new galaxy watch ultra gets delivered today😊
first time to your channel. such a detailed review! thank you!
Honestly the most helpful video I’ve seen, thank you.
Hey, I really love how u inform us! subscribed.
Your videos are so fun to watch and full of knowledge. Thank you Josh, Love from India!
The best reviewe period!!! Thanks
Your expression is real clear and substantial. Subscribed bro.
great review, this watch is worth buying even in 2024, sleep tracking is a fixed issue now, i get almost 1 to 1.5 hours of deep sleep. price is less than $200. great watch
damn homeboy is ripped… clicked just for that ngl lol
Awesome work, congratulations from Lima, Peru.
Really love this guy's enthusiasm and energy! Just subbed since there aren't many tech channels I like to watch and enjoy, but your videos always keep my interest😊
Also looking really nice and fit! You have my body goals😂
Strava doesn't notify you of distance intervals any more. It did on my frontier but not on my gw4. I'm gonna try to use the Samsung health app to track and transfer the data to Strava.
I loved your videos! all the best wishes for the new year! I will buy this watch in Colombia! now it is on sale for about 275 us dollars. 44mm non LTE.
I've heard that turning off always on DOES help with battery life. Now, I'd love to see some testing with both scenarios. Arg.
Been thinking which one to choose. Now I want the galaxy watch 4⌚️. Just not happy about the deep sleep accuracy issue but I think I will be fine with that. As always, thank you for your honest review. 🙂
Great video, amazing 👏. For you Which is the best and have more accurately. Venu 2 or watch 4 ? Thanks and keep doing greats videos
I can tell a lot of effort was put into this review. Nice one!
Great review. Charging twice a day is a deal breaker for me. My little fitbit charge has fewer features but does the important stuff and goes days without charging.
Great review! Thank you so much!
Stellar review, more insight, groundbreaking discovery and not to mention the style used to express seamless transition of the functionality of the watch.
in all, it puts the icing on the cake I say well-done josh, Top-notch.
The best video on gw4!!🤟
Best watch for an android user? Are you including Garmin in there? I’m switching back to android and I’m looking for a good smartwatch with great fitness features. I just recently looked into Garmin which seems to be more accurate? However, the galaxy watch may have better smart features. I don’t know. I wish I knew someone who could compare the top smartwatches for android. Fitbit sense, galaxy watch 4 and Garmin venue 2 plus. Amazing review by the way. Incredibly thorough. Best review I’ve seen on the watch. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.
great video !! I have a question for you: is the Galaxy Watch 4 or Garmin Vivoactive 4 better for weight training in the gym and cycling? thank you!
This is an amazing review, thank you!
Can’t wait to see your pixel 6pro review! I switched to 12 pro max from pixel 3xl. Thinking about switching back!
Hey gadgetmatch at this point 6:55 you can put water lock on galaxy watch it will help you !
You've earned a new subscriber. Great video!
Best review Ive seen until now
Great review! Just wondering where you got that blue/navy watch band. It looks nice!
Thank you very much for the review!
Best review of this watch I've seen
I find that interesting, that no one mentions the problem, that the galaxy watch 4 tends to lose the heart rate quite so often during workouts, even when you do everything right, and the watch should be able to get the readings. I had the same problem with the watch active as well. I am disappointed, that samsung didn't manage to solve that issue for so long. I loved the watch for every other aspect, but I returned it because this bug.
So just a tip: if you want to track fitness and don't want to check your watch every 5 minutes worried whether it still records heart rate data, you should not buy a samsung watch.
Is the problem fixed by updates?
@@user-mj6qr2ky9d Not that I know of. I sold the watch in november, but my guess would be no. If you would like to use your watch for activity tracking I highly recommend considering a different brand. I settled with Garmin and comparing these two, Samsung performes ridicolously in that department.
@@juditpapp3090 which Garmin smartwatch do u have and how is the battery life? Do u have a Samsung phone as well? Is Google maps possible with ur watch?
@@user-mj6qr2ky9d I purchased a Fenix 6s Pro and I use it with a samsung phone. There is no native app for google turn by turn navigation, but you can download 3rd party apps that can do it for you. There are videos on YT if you would like to look into it. It will not give you that smooth experience that the GW4 did with the google navigation, but it works. If you would like maps for trekking or mountaineering then the F6 gets you covered.
Edit: Battery life is around 6-7 days with normal use for the smallest model. The bigger models have even more.
Yessssssssssss. My Active 2 sometime looses HR for a while...but the 4 can take up to 1 hour without HR tracking. Frustrating. The update fixes a little the HR Tracking on my bicycle, but messed up other activitities :(
As of 2023, the Watch 4 Classic can at least track reps and sets for _some_ exercises. The ones I've tested are:
- crunches
- back extensions
- bench press
- deadlift
- squats
- curls
- tricep extensions
- lateral raises
- lat pulldowns
It's not a lot, but at least for some of these workouts, it'll detect variations as the same thing. For example, it'll count a standing cable press-down, a standing overhead ez-bar extension, _and_ a lying skullcrusher all as "triceps extensions." Same with deadlifts: standard deadlifts, sumos, RDLs, kettlebell deadlifts, will all tick reps for "deadlifts."
The only exercise that seems a bit finicky are bench presses; it'll count flat bench bar/dumbbell and incline bar/dumbbell, but it doesn't like seated machine presses. It won't even start the workout.
Outside of that, the only other problem I see is that while it'll track reps and sets, it won't track weights. You'll have to leave a note on each exercise what weights you used, after the fact. And it won't be quantified in any sort of manner the way Garmin Connect does.
That said, it's still a far better option than Google Fit or Huawei Health. Those two are just for cardio.
PS, you'll find an option for "circuit training" which I think covers HIIT.
Grate video.. I love it.. I never saw like this review.. where r u from
Nice job. Really have not found any other review with as much detail on the fitness aspect of the 4. I have the LTE Classic on order ship around the 14th of September. Had a couple of questions. 1. If I recall correctly the 4 has the ability to run Google Fit or Samsung Health, but can only run on or the other not both. Is that correct? 2. One other review I saw, the reviewer was scrolling the fitness app on the watch and the watch had a +(plus) symbol which looked like you could add an exercise or activity. Are you finally able to add an activity to the watch from Samsung Health on your phone or does it still just use what is stored on the watch and is hidden? Example Samsung Health on the phone has a list of activities such as Rowing, Kayaking or Skiing. Can I add one of these activities to the 4? For whatever reason Samsung since the beginning with the GearFit in 2017 has resisted allowing you to add activities. Hoping they finally changed.
Have you had it in a pool? River/lake? Most waterproof testing is done on a counter top, meaning it doesn't actually test real life uses! Shower seems important as well, but a swimmer going for a swim is much different
Saw the thumbnail, watched the vid then immediately started working out as well
I know you said 40mm fits best for your wrist in this video but just making sure this review was the 40mm? looks great on you. Thank you!
I believe he's wearing the 44mm watch 4. Ok I made some more observations. When you see the blue strapped galaxy watch in the beginning of the video it's the 44mm. The one he's wearing at briefly at15:37 is definitely the 40mm. You can tell by the bezel size and obviously smaller look. So he seemlying wore the 44mm in most of the video.
@@lilmario0 thanks bro. appreciate you looking through like that
@@Clipppers Np. But upon receiving the notification for your reply I looked through the video again. I was wrong. He's definitely wearing the 40mm throughout the video. Sorry about that. Look at 6:40 and 8:08 especially it's def the 40mm.
If you want to see the 44mm on a small wrist. There s channel called CJ unplugged. He has skinny arms like this dude but he has the 44mm watch. It also seems to fit well on smaller wrist tbh. The straps on the watch stick out a bit so I'm thinking if you get the 44 and change out the strap to a reg watch band. The 44 should be fine. That's what I'm thinking about doing because I'm pretty slim myself. Still tryna cement my decision though but that's were I'm at currently.
@@lilmario0 Ok ill check out the channel you suggested, ty. I have small wrists too so im just not sure what to get yet. Theres a guy named "freds aquariums and electronics" with the 44mm and he has small wrists too, might help you out aswell.
@@Clipppers Aite cool. Thanks.
Damn, he's fit!
I didn’t expect that, but wow! he is sixpack
you mean skinny .. looks like he weighs 115 lbs
@@Falcons-283 but, he’s fit because he’s not tall enough compared to American or European.. he’s Asian thoo
@@thisisiki_ yeah he's 5'4. Also obviously very fit. :))
Thanks Brett! Really enjoyed it! Also, I want to add here, recently I started using this watch to see my glucose readings from FreeStyle Libre sensor without the phone, which was not possible with previous versions of the Galaxy Watch3 and before. To get FreeStyle Libre sensor readings on the watch, I paired my NightRider BluCon device to an app LinkBluCon on watch and placed the NightRider BluCon device on top of the Libre sensor with the help of a patch, I know how difficult for people with diabetes to monitor it without good tools
