So let me get this straight, this guy doesn't wear smart watches, doesn't wear fitness trackers, and the last smart watch he used was from few years ago... Why is this guy reviewing a smart watch then?
Rather than whining... Maybe just maybe this review is intended for people who didnt wear smart watch in a long time or someone who have this smartwatch as their first?
I was just about to write the same thing. Even if the review is meant for 'his' kind of ppl, it doesn't hurt if he's a connoseur. Cmon we the early adapters are kind of the first ppl that should be informed and educated on the product. Wtf Samsung!!
37 seconds into the video and I can't help but wonder why they chose him to do the review and not by someone from the Android Authority team who cares about wearables.
I own this watch, I've always worn watches and have been pleasantly surprised with this being my first smart watch, its no bigger than my usual watches so there was no adjustment period, I love how comfortable it is to wear from a watch perspective, I also enjoy the tons of free watch faces available on the galaxy store, as well as the fitness tracking. It is a fantastic watch that I would recommend, I'm planning on getting a galaxy active watch soon for my more casual outfits
They're (Samsung) shooting themselves in the foot with Bixby. I understand they want their own software but they gotta start letting you use Google Assistant instead as an option. I would consider buying this watch. Tizen looks good, but no Google Assistant? F that
Samsung is known for not being able to fix bugs. Has many products from Samsung. TV 2016 has bugs but is no longer supported, soundbar 2017 has bugs but is no longer supported and my Gear S3 has bugs but is no longer supported. The kilometer counter stops and Samsung Pay logs out and you have to re-enter your debit card. Samsung = Too many new products and quickly leave the old ones on the go
No mention about limited application for use with NON-Samsung phones. Not able to use Samsung Pay at all without a Samsung phone, limits pairable devices for SHealth (polar H7, blood pressure cuff, weight scales) and forces use of Watch HRM. I love my S3 Frontier and Gear Sport...better and unsurpassed with a Samsung phone.
Who needs mst know a days more places are NFC know and the odds ill leave my phone at home unless i go for a walk or run well yeah i got mst on my note nine so i rather care of more battery life than MST function
What every reviewer forget to mention is that tizen sucks from an android point of view. Chat apps like WhatsApp and telegram etc ARE NOT COMPATIBLE! If you receive more than one message you can not read them all, just the very last one. So if you're a person who's out to read your texts on your watch you can forget about it since you have to pull out your phone all the time. No one will develop apps for tizen since Samsung are the only ones using it. Had the S3 Frontier for a day and then I returned it because of this.
id like to know if the music player is supported with equalizer. ive been checking it but none has answered my question up until now. playing music with this watch would be my prime purpose. TIA
My Gear S3 lasted 3 days with AOD and moderate to heavy usage. You could get 4 out of it with AOD Enabled if your not constantly waking the watch every 5 minutes like I do.
The thing about bixby is it is not a voice assistant but is more a voice interface what i mean is it does better doing stuff locally (changing settings things inside of apps etc) (also apperently bixby is just a resin of a voice on the Watch)
Have the black version and I love it. For me the 42mm is the perfect size. The 46mm is too big. I'm a "normal size dude" 6 feet 1 inch tall and 185lbs.
Looks like a really great watch, but my venerable but aging Gear S2 is still working just fine. It does everything this watch does with the bonus of MST Samsung Pay but battery life has really taken a hit. Won't even make it through 1/2 day, have to put it into power saving mode. Actually not that big of a deal since it still fitness tracks in that mode. Regarding Bixby, man I just can't figure that one out. S Voice on my S2 works perfectly 99% of the time. Go figure.
I would've meet my S3 Frontier, but the battery wouldn't last no more than 8 hours on a full charge. So now I do have the Galaxy Watch and quite frankly, I like it better. Send more fluid and seamless compared to the S3
Bixby !!!! I have it on my s8 (in Japan) and is still not working here , I can't say hey Bixby.. still !! Bixby voice not working after more than 2 years! Unbelievable
Galaxy watch, just a good looking watch not a very good tracker. One of the costliest watch out there one expects that it should have all the features of a good fitness tracker but alas this watch does not measure VO2 MAX nor can it measure free training . Honor magic watch at approx $160 can do both of that.
Seriously, I've watched 4 "reviews" and 3 "hands on" and no one from these main tech channels ever gets into a direct comparison between the S3 frontier and this one. Why should any one buy this instead of the 2 year old one considering it costs +120$ than the S3 frontier. Stating specs we can read on the samsung page doesn't qualify as a review, huge thumbs down.
I wish Samsung would stop trying to force Bixby onto their consumers. This watch looks great, but Bixby being the trash it is is enough to keep me away from the watch.
The UI looks great, its just a shame the device looks so dull & bland. Something more rugged looking would be welcome as nearly ALL smartwatches (except casio, maybe) just look like every other boring watch. Also nowhere near worth $350 for THAT.
If my Pebble Time dies, this is looking like what I'll get. But I need a new phone first... one whose battery doesn't go to shit after two years like my S7 Edge (though that might have been the Oreo update's fault, it certainly wasn't great on Nougat either).
7:34 "If you wear the watch all day you're probably not going to want to wear this at night because it does start to weigh you down after awhile"?? First, it's no heavier than a regular watch. Second, you're asleep at night, you're not going to notice it. Third, what kind of weakling wimp says 'this is SO heavy I can barely lift my arm at the end of the day'? SERIOUSLY?? First rule of YT video-making: Don't sound stupid.
I know there’s nothing original about this comment, but seriously. You’re not a SmartWatch person, you haven’t worn a SmartWatch since the original LG one, and you’re not capable of drawing comparisons based on experiences with other watches. Considering the fact that a tech review, at its core, is meant to help viewers make better decisions about their purchases, did you really think it was a good idea to review this yourself? Because nobody else in the comments section does.
But wait, when the original smart watches came out who would have been experienced with wearables to draw comparisons or review/rate them? I think we have to look at this review as if it is from someone just getting into the reviewing video segment, this shouldn't be over judged like it is.
I heard the military got out smarted, wearing the smart watch. So is there a smart watch build for people to not out smart you when you need to be smarter

@@kelsieellis2414 I have a Galaxy s8 and Bixby is the only thing that sucks hard about it. Google assistant is infinitely more useful. Samsung is idiotic for attempting to play catch up at this point. I'd never choose Bixby over Google assistant unless Samsung somehow makes it on par or better. And given Google's giant lead, I doubt that'd ever happen.
Why are we complaining here? It doesn't make sense, seeing as the smartwatch is more or less a beta device. It's a relatively new technology that companies are developing. Yes, the apple watch is iOS only. Yes, the watch app store is limited. Yes, the app store is limited on Tizen. No, this product is not bad. Fanboys like you guys should just shut up and keep your opinions off the internet.
When you talk try to sound a bit less annoyed, a bit less "I just wanna go through this" and a bit more like... hard to describe. Look how Doug de Muro is talking (tone up and down especially at the end of the sentence) and with an occasional little joke in the sentence. Together with the good looks and the good content your video could be much more pleasant to look and listen to.,

1.5m, but you raise a valid point.

I've experienced every 4 day's to charge. My first smartwatch. Really impressed.

It last 4 days with aod(always on dislpay) or not?pls i need an answer
My Gear S3 lasted 3 days with AOD and moderate to heavy usage. You could get 4 out of it with AOD Enabled if your not constantly waking the watch every 5 minutes like I do.
Can I use voice recorder application in the watch to record the voice directly by the watch??

I enjoyed your review , thank you
NO NO NOT IP68 it's 5atm (or 50 I don't remember) water resistant up to 50 meters
Best watch right now and most practical approach
I just got a notification about the mate 20 lite and suddenly it dissapeared.....weird
Same
I'm hooked on my Galaxy Watch like crack cocaine...
Does the LTE version also have bluetooth?
When you feel stressed, you can see on the watch that you are.. technology and logic dont allways go together

I'll keep my Gear S3 Frontier For Longer!
You really should, but I dont own any other smart watch, so this is gonna be my first.
I would've meet my S3 Frontier, but the battery wouldn't last no more than 8 hours on a full charge. So now I do have the Galaxy Watch and quite frankly, I like it better. Send more fluid and seamless compared to the S3
Does it support Lte?
I dont get it. Is it galaxy watch same as S3. Look same. I didnt know it has Bixby
Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and review the New Samsung watch.Thanks for sharing Deb 👌👍
Looks great .. Wish it could sync with Fitbit.
Wait, no MST? That's a no for me.
"It fits me well..." Dude, no offense, but you look like Ben10 with that thing on your wrist!
Yeah, he had to take the 42mm version.
Well to begin with.. you could probably adjust your spects .. they are about to fall off...
Bixby !!!! I have it on my s8 (in Japan) and is still not working here , I can't say hey Bixby.. still !! Bixby voice not working after more than 2 years! Unbelievable
It's Hi bixby
@@duo3761 I meant "Hi Bixby " either way is not working
His hair looks like the underside of a fishing boat.
If I got one, my watch would be telling me to breathe deeply more than telling me the time
4 days? I love mine but mine lasts one 9-5 shift and it's dead and I barely touch it
You’re telling me the two variants are only $20 apart?😂
It's 5 ATM (165 ft), not IP 68. Good n' great to swim with.
Does samsung pay still have mst on their flsgship phones?
Yeah s9/s9+ and note 9 still have mst.

'it tracks all common exercises'. Mentions only upper body exercises
Love my Frontier, I think I'll wait on upgrading it for a bit longer.
I am not a gamer, but I am going to review the new game console
gotta start somewhere ... I guess.
Nice watch ... but ... way too big for your wrist ! ( and for all small to normal wrists ...)
There is a smaller 42mm model available also.
I have a small wrist, it aint that big. It's not like wearing a 52-55mm Invicta watch ... that also isn't really that big looking on my "small" wrist.
Seriously, I've watched 4 "reviews" and 3 "hands on" and no one from these main tech channels ever gets into a direct comparison between the S3 frontier and this one. Why should any one buy this instead of the 2 year old one considering it costs +120$ than the S3 frontier. Stating specs we can read on the samsung page doesn't qualify as a review, huge thumbs down.

I heard that the Gear S3 does the same as the Galaxy watch with the new 4.0 update...
Worse battery and not nearly as durable though
Is this watch compatible with the lg v40
The UI looks great, its just a shame the device looks so dull & bland.
Something more rugged looking would be welcome as nearly ALL smartwatches (except casio, maybe) just look like every other boring watch.
Also nowhere near worth $350 for THAT.
lol i do agreed it look damn dull ,worse then gear 3
so at gym you can swim and shower but what about steam and sauna?
Case is way too big for you. Lugs are wider than your wrist! Your actual wrist size would have been helpful.
If my Pebble Time dies, this is looking like what I'll get. But I need a new phone first... one whose battery doesn't go to shit after two years like my S7 Edge (though that might have been the Oreo update's fault, it certainly wasn't great on Nougat either).
Wht the heck is this guy doing? It's like giving a job to an intern even though the job requires 10 years of exp.
It looks like a gear s3, it works as gear s3, it has same os as gear s3. It even has same charger. Why WOULD you get this over gear s3?
Well I want the 42mm because it's smaller and I don't have a smartwatch yet. Also the galaxy watch is faster than the gear s3. Dunno

So its the same watch as my Gear3 but it is called Galaxy watch. hmmmm LoL?!
