[SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH REVIEW]
In a sea of Gear Fit 2s and Apple Watch Series 4s and … whatever Casio is calling its latest, the name “Samsung Galaxy Watch” has the double advantage of simplicity and the esteem of the Galaxy brand, which we haven’t seen on a smartwatch since 2013. But such a dramatic re-naming usually signals a very different product - and different this is not. I’m MrMobile and this is the Samsung Galaxy Watch review.

The rotating bezel is by far the most satisfying feeling when using this watch. Great review, MrMobile!
It's a crown ;)
I had a s2 no probs a s3 AGGGHHHHHH IT GETS SLOW WHEN CONTACTED WITH WATER AND STAYS LIKE THAT FOR 1 TO 2 HOURS ITS LIKE RUBBING SAND PAPER ON A SHEET OF MARBLE
I used my gear s3 for a year and now the back and the side has some dust that dry, that to clean the screw at the also. I prefer the apple watch.
suprised no other company has copied it yet
@@weirdface7096 No it's a bezel.
I realised just recently even though I´m following you for over 2 years now that you are one of the few (if not the only one) who can really describe what does the product feel like. I can see what does it look like, no need to talk about that but what impression does it give, that´s what I want to hear. Props to you, MrMobile, for delivering the best reviews out here
Yes he is really good....
Yes that was Great but You"re Picture Could be a litle larger .I don't need to ruin by eye site any more than it is. Yes that reminds me to make some appointments for Myself. Thank's for Reminding me . Yes I really Appericate All You'r Help.♡😘
Yes, I have to agree with you. This review was really descriptive regarding use.
So, 4 days battery life with an always-on display?
That doesn’t sound bad at all...
Off
He said that the always on display kills one day worth of battery life
Confusing phrasing on my part. 4 to 5 days with all out-of-box settings retained. Once you set it up the way you want, and depending on notification traffic and how much walking you do, you're probably looking at anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 days in regular use.
So you compare it to Gear s3 battery life? Both with aod on?
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] still better than the Apple Watch. (I miss pebble tbh)
Still using this one. Been 5 years at this point
Entire world upload's Apple watch review.
Mr Mobile always does different
Yup!
Hell Yeah!
Apple watch looks like a toy watch .
Galaxy watch looks more like a traditional watch and thats cool
I don't know why people keep buying that stupid thing. It's effin square. AND it's ugly. Just... why!?
@@patrik5123, Because people have money.

This needs more likes ctfu
@@YBSTV_Official man I wish o could screen shot his picture right here. Best comment.
i thought that only I am the one who think that he resembles tony stark. but..happy to see this comment.
@@shaeilbabur I'm glad you heard it too. He has a pretty cool voice I think.
@@shaeilbabur I've thought he he looks like him for years
Your relaxing voice can help achieve world peace.
YES I AGREE WITH UdayTej , But 3 months ago Why Did it Just Get to Me
Maybe things Can Be Faster, What do you think?
Uday Tej asmr UA-cam it.
😑
I can't remember the last time I saw an actual Blackberry in the wild.
Or an Ed Grimley hair style.
Literally an extinct animal :)
Smartvalleyvapp
Wears a Samsung watch, uses Blackberry
I'm pretty sure that is to show that you can use the Samsung Galaxy watch with any device, not just with a Samsung phone.
@@angelmuadbid no its because it's his daily driver, that doesn't really show anything because it's still an android.
@AsaD Ali that wasn't the reason he used it specifically, it showed it but it wasn't the reason. He said in both his Keyone and keytwo videos that both of them were his daily driver
Lol, I use the gear s2 with an iPhone 7
it's called the joy of android ass brain,its cross platform.This is not apple watch,the vidoeo would be shorter
got last model and the classic^^ loving it so far. that ring is nice!
Absolutely bloody marvellous review Michael - thank you - glad to have you back, but I now can't make my watch decision till your other reviews are out 😉
I love mr mobile but if you have to wait for somebody to convince you one way or another to buy a Samsung watch. U shouldn’t lol. They are for the fans for real. Gotta live with bixby
Shaving off 1 day from battery life and charging for 2 hours honestly isnt a bad trade off.

Mr. Mobile is literally the only person I can get everyone in the family to watch whenever deciding on tech. How does he have less than 1m subscribers?
He finally got 1mil, 5 years later
Sir your voice is so satisfying to hear, please do continue ur job as a voice over artist
I didn't know BlackBerry phones were still a thing.
Absolutely love his videos. My data pack is limited so I watch other videos in 360p and his videos in 1080p! Love ya!
In 2022 still beautiful
Nice review, I've had mine for a couple weeks and love it, thanks for not mentioning Bixby.
The problem with Bixby is that it's NOT Bixby. At least not yet. Samsung is being quiet about it, but it's just Svoice rebranded. They need to put real Bixby on the watch (though frankly, I hardly ever need a voice assistant on my watch).
urgh! Bixby, can anyone tell me how to deactivate it... so infuriating. On the other hand, I do have this watch and I love it.
This may be one of the best review videos I have ever watched. Thank you for having a professional speaking voice, clear diction, and a soothing demeanor. Subscribed.
"...that's nuts. This is a watch, load it with watch things!" Best quote!! Lol
Ima year late
But real talk, for something that is (over/near) $300, they could at least do that outta the box! Like how the non-S10e/default/+ Samsung phones (Fold/Note) don't have headphone jacks despite their obnoxious price points. If has been done in the past for cheaper, no excuses for something more expensive.
Spearra dude u re talking about watch not phone. This smartwatch can do everything other smartwatches do.
The best thing about this watch is the design. Its marvelous i love it. Wearing smartwatch that seems like ordinary watch. So manly. Especially after i change that bezel with silver bezel and stainless steel strap. It makes it more like ordinary watch that have a marvelous watch faces.
Beside what u usually do in smartwatches that this smartwatch dont have?
Aod, long battery life, see notification and open it, call and message, wide customization of watchfaces, health fiture, usual app like calc & etc, hard to scratch and beautiful design.
What else for a watch? U wanna surfing? Just buy a fucking phone ur eyes gonna go bad if u watch from those small screen.
Never seen your vids before. As soon you started talking you got me hooked. Not sure if it's the way you narrate or the quality of information or both, but I love it.
U the best, the only guy not talking about iPhones namely Xs XsMax and XR
Wow, I love the professional VO and production quality of your video! 👍
Good battery life is the most important thing to me in a smartwatch 😁
Another great video Mr. Mobile...luv my Galaxy Watch 46mm... battery life is still going strong. 2 days a single charge.
0:15 who else caught that 😂
Just bought one of these suckers today after my old ticwatch e bit the dust. Was thanks to this review that I decided on the Galaxy Watch and I absolutely love it so far. The rotating bezel is addicting as hell
Just purchased mine 5 days ago on September 11th 2019 and I absolutely love it. I got it on sale from BestBuy for $300 from $350. I charged the watch 5 days ago on the 11th and I still have 25% battery life left on the 16th, not bad at all. Trust me once you really start to get used to it you are going to love this watch.
Mr. Fisher, I've watched 58 hours and 6 minutes of UA-cam this week, my daily average is 8 hours and 18 minutes. That's normal for me. I just wanted you to know that I still look forward to your videos more than any other creator on UA-cam. And I watch an astronomical amount of content on here. Your videos are by far the most clean, slick and professional. It's at least TV level content. I can never find a single mistake in your videos. Not in the facts, the editing, the shot composition, or in your voice over delivery. I know that some won't agree with me, but that's alright, this is all just my opinion. You have been and continue to do a fantastic job, and I hope you enjoy doing it as much as I enjoy watching! 😁
I appreciate it; thanks very much!
H.N.I.C don't you have a nursery rhyme playlist to be watching? 😂😂😂
8 hours a day???? WTF... Get a job, or a life..... Thats depressing.
I want a smartwatch just so I can look like a secret agent when I call my mom
Ha nice wan
Good review, Michael! I thought you were going to blow this watch out of the water at the end but ended it on a high note. For me its functions are simple and easy to use. The fitness tracker is my favorite feature. It keeps one motivated to stay on the good health track.
put your phone or watch in developer mode and you can go into those settings of animation and speed up responses
Awesome comprehensive review. I bought the watch based on this review alone. Everything you Identified as a pro was what I wanted, and the cons you identified I liked as well and decided I was not concerned with them (such as samsung slow by design) but was glad to know about going into it. Thanks for a detailed and well executed review. I love the watch. it is a major upgrade from my moto 360. have had it a week now. its fantastic.
Help! Congrats on your new watch! Please give me pointers . I'm not sure rather to get the 42mm rose gold LTE version or the bluetooth. Is there a difference? I'm also seeing random prices so how much should I possibly pay . What do you like about it. I still have a Samsung s8 and dont see any phones that I want but would like to simply use this watch as much upgrade .
I love this watch! And lol 😂 at all the plastic. I find a piece i missed every couple of days 😂 great review
Which one delivers the best performance, the S3 Frontiers or the Galaxy Watch?
My ben 10 dreams coming to reality
I have been using the S3 Classic for a year and a half now. Watching this review I see very little in the way of new features. Torso Twist pops up for me too! You can switch that off if you like but I do find the little nudges the watch makes to get me moving is a good idea. Samsung have done a great job, but this watch is nothing new. By the way, using my watch day to day, I don't read emails on it, I don't play games on it. Mostly the health tracking, changing the watch faces, these are the most used features. I have a smartphone in my pocket after all. Compatibility is not an issue. I used my S3 with the Honor 7 and Nokia 8.
@mk No.
I think watches are more like notification center taking calls and health tracking.
I feel that we don't need that much more I used android wear on and off for 4 years and just got the galaxy watch
I'm clumsy and run into walls all day. I scratch the hell out of all my watches
Man you are becoming my favorite tech reviewer!! MKBHD watch out!!
when others try to upload XS, XS Max, Series 4, Liquid Retina, Super Retina review, only MrMobile upload different things. lol
Great, professional and classic review, good job!!
Is there a Ben 10 theme for it?
Why has this not happened yet?
@@umangmalik Exactly, people will go crazy to get 8t
Creative Me it even has the rotating bezel to change aliens
Actually there is
@@DoarUnHater wow!
LastPass is like dual screens... Before trying it, you think "it won't make THAT much of a difference for me". Two days later you wonder how you survived without it so long. Glad to see they're a sponsor. Perfect partnership.
My Gear S3 tracks sleep automatically, something that's not a feature on the latest apple watch(series 4). I'd say, Samsung's smartwatch has everything you need. More apps means more distractions on the wrist, you just need fitness tracking, sleep management, notifications, calls, alarm, good looks of the watch, which gear S3 or galaxy watch has! And good battery too!!
Brajendra Vikram Singh Samsung doesn’t have ekg and no Samsung Watch can deliver stats to a doctor. Apple Watch can.
True. But as far as my usage goes, I never needed an EKG or send anything to a doctor. I rarely ever go to a doctor. Those "features" are just a gimmick to my case. and sleep tracking is more important to me as I keep track of my sleeping habits. Maybe cuz I have a good sleeping habits, that i never needed to contact a doctor anyway. Apple watch is great for people who are into iOS ecosystem. I'm just talking about my case, so it doesn't interest me. ✌
@@29kalel yeh but.....ugly
Exactly ! I'm satisfied with my Galaxy Watch because it does exactly what I need a smart watch to do without being a "phone on my wrist". Fitness tracking, sleep tracking, calls, and messaging without the distraction of a phone is what I LOVE about my watch. It doesn't malfunction and it tracks everything accurately. I can't lie tho, when it comes to aesthetics, I like the Apple Watch more. Not enough to switch to iPhones and tolerate limited functionality across platforms tho. Samsung Galaxy Watch is awesome.
Yeah but all those trackers are not working properly. HR, barometer, step counter etc all shitty quality. Check Samsung watch forums:/
I've got the Samsung Galaxy Watch (the 46mm LTE version) , it's superb, it's had plenty of updates since this video. I love it
lol, thought for a brief moment he said "45 days"(4:52)
I'm glad Andorid watches aren't dead, but I'm not a fan of the design of any of them. Hope that changes one day! Great video as normal!
Always love to see you rocking that Blackberry in your vids!!
I have one and I'm in love with it, the fact it helps me not stay stationary too long, i can pick any face to go with any outfit (mine is currently the Q watch from Golden Eye 64), the fact I have all my music in one area to swap it without pulling my whole phone out is something I love!
Mr. Mobile is Tony Stark before he became a Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist.
Thanks for a straight to the point review. So sick of videos with all the cushioning that have no meat to them, or a 30 minute unboxing before reviewing the product!
5:18 please link dual phone and watch charger, love it.
Samsung Wireless Charger Duo EP-N6100 Black
The music sound in the 2:47 marks is fabulous. Well done
I've been waiting for this review. I'm finally going to jump onto the smart watch train.
Great review I have to say one of the best watch review hands down.
It's end of 2019. I'm still waiting for a decent wear OS watch
Forget it. Google just doesn't care about Wear OS at all. The battery life on every Wear OS watch is just utter rubish.
Are u still waiting?
I'm breaking down and looking for a smartwatch. I don't want to pluck down a lot of money on technology that I will not like, so I'm either looking at the Galaxy Watch, or the Galaxy Active. After this review I'll order the Galaxy Watch. Thanks for the review. 😁
"Through the bluetooth connection on my blackberry"
2018 meets 2005
Have you tried the remote PPT app? It is one of the most impressive and most surprising features of the watch. It works in a way, that wit the rotating bezel, you can control your presentation to go forwards and backwards, but it does it in a such simple way, that it just simulates up and down arrow keys being pressed. That means you can use it for a lot more like scrolling web sites, navigating through a word document etc. And then the best one, in the remote PPT mode, you can use the watch display as your touchpad, essentially being able to control the whole computer. Love this feature
Can’t wait to see this go up against the Series 4!
Same here! Soon as I get one of the latter. :)
Carson I have the Gear S3 Frontier and I am going with the Series 4 and Xs Max instead of the Note9 and this watch. I had the Note8 with my Gear S3 but the watch stopped receiving text and the fitness tracking is way off for certain exercises.
DJ GMONEY I’m debating on whether or not I want to get the Max. Looks like a great phone.
Carson I had sworn off Apple after buying the Note 2. Bought every Note over the iPhone. I grabbed the iPhone X in May and now I use it daily. Sold my Note8. Still getting the Xs Max because I love the bigger screen. iOS is boring but it works. I am taking a break from Android I guess.
+DJ GMONEY
Lao have fun with your downgrade
if you stopped recieveing texts then thats an issue with your plan not the phone. And fitness tracking is amoung the best with samsung. Right when the best note comes out you go for the worst phone...yah seems legit.Not
I do not know why they ditch the Gear name.
It is better sounding that the products are in a lineup like the Gear Lineup and the Level Lineup.
Something to watch when you can’t sleep at 1:30AM. Thank you
Morning!
Something to watch 😏
3:15am here
Got the Galaxy Watch and I’m satisfied with it, heck the rotating bezel is so satisfying to rotate as heck!!
Got my Series 4 today. This thing is wonderful. Never had a watch before.
Has it bricked yet??????
@@thejohnson9204 I doubt it since it doesn't happen to every watch and if it did happen its covered under warranty buddy
I woke up in the morning when I saw this notification
Watched the video and slept again
No MST is a complete DEALBREAKER. I use my S3 to pay for stuff at every single place that takes a credit card. I'm definitely NOT ready to give this luxury up!
TheRobbSki Can’t blame but I don’t even use Samsung Pay at all so it’s not a deal breaker, the one thing that is, is that the new Galaxy Watch Active 2 is about come out and it looks pretty promising but I sadly already got my Galaxy Watch.
Oh yes, definitely getting one for my husband & myself on a black Friday sale. Great video as always Mr. Mobile! 👍😊👍
Will you review samsung galaxy tab s4? Thank you🙏
Well, i asked it to be review because just my curiosity, of course ipad pro is the best tablet out there haha
Rizky Warist iPad is the best tablet. Phone and Watch is very competive.
@Kronixio Have you been sleeping? Tab s4 is better than ipad. I used both galaxy tab and ipad. Even Surface Go is better than iPad Pro.
Kronixio I've also used both, the ipad pro is simply in a class of its own at the moment. Which is sad, as there needs to be more competition in the tablet market.
Tbh, even though apple products aren't my go to. The iPad Pro is pretty cool and good
As an owner of a Gear S3... I can't justify the upgrade, especially considering mine has LTE baked in. However, that won't stop me from recommending the Galaxy Watch to people who don't already have one of the last two models. The bezel is genius, and the software is beautiful. I keep mine free of apps for the most part, and just use it for a watch most of the time. So, I usually only have to charge it once or twice a week because the power-save mode is great. It still tracks steps, but ensures I will likely have enough power to turn power miser off to make an emergency call, if I ever need to.
The microphone in the GS3 isn't the greatest, and neither is the speaker, but it gets the job done when you need it. I gave my GS2 to the kid, so they have that ability as well. These things are awesome, and if you're on the fence about smart-watches still... Well, it's time to jump off. There are a lot of great options now.
This reminds me of Ben 10.
I want one.
The omnitrix
OMFG his face when it's "torso twist" time ⌚ 😂 😂 😂
I won’t lie you made me download last pass
I've used last pass for years, tasks a little while to get used to it but I love it to death.
Gonna get this next week! The rotating bezel just sold me
Mine went black after 3 months. Going through hell trying to get them to send me the UPS shipping container.
Nice review. I have a 42mm Galaxy Watch and love it. I don't see the annoying notifications you complained about, so I bet you could turn them off. I turned off the reminders about torso twists too. It's not perfect, but a lot of fun to use. It does a good job tracking my walks and bike rides. It's not a significant upgrade from my Gear S3 in terms of features, but the smaller size fits me a lot better.
I come for the reviews and stay for the music
2 hours for a full charge for 3 days use isn't bad at all! That's pretty fast! I may not have access to all the latest tech, but this is still really fast. Not really fair to compare it to phone fast-charging times.
Doing my homework I'm picking up mine tomorrow trying to see if it's worth the 300$
Oh yes those plastic stickers all over the watch, took me some time to take them off too. You pretty much covered everything there is to know about this watch to get a feel of it. Great review as always. I love this watch !
Took me 30 seconds at max to peel of all the plastics bro!! Including the plastics on wireless charger!
10 mins is over exaggeration 😂
MrMobile, thank you! Your content is visually stunning, fun and not taking much time to watch in a day! Thanks to you I am always on the edge of technologies 8)
That ticking is not subtle at all LOL
It's a simulation for the sake of the video. It's a very quiet ticking sound in reality.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] ah gotcha
I can't get the ticking sound to work on my watch am I doing something wrong?
@@jeffdrexler8372 You have to wind it up first.
Only some watch faces tick tho...
I wait for you to review anything im considering to purchase. Your brutally honest.
The galaxy watch was better at cancelling the noise of the wind cuz u have a blackberry phone
@mrmobile is my favorite no biased tech reviewer
Considering how shitty the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 chip is , I don't have high hopes for the new Wear OS smartwatches .
Well google assistant is the reason to get wear os. But samsung Galaxy watch is very slick.
Just picked up a used SGW for around $150 and so far I'm very happy with it, I charged it fully the day I got it and it's now 3 days later and I still have around 60% battery, it also runs better than any Android Wear watch I've owned, I have it paired to a Pixel 2 XL, I'd say this is the best smartwatch I've used since my og Pebble.
I'm really shocked Samsung dropped MST support for this watch. That was by far the most useful and most unique feature of the Gear S3 Frontier. That's a real deal breaker for me. I'll be sticking to my Gear S3 for now.
My fondness towards you, your channel and your content is growing per videos! Awesome bro! Waiting for more interesting content! Please make more so that we can enjoy!
Shoot, I just pre-ordered the Apple Watch Series 4!
I would greatly appreciate you listing all the watch faces shown in this video and where to download them.
I really like many of them and would love to download for myself
My Gear S3 can get a little above 48 hours (2 days) with Always On Display enabled. How many days with Always On Display can the Galaxy Watch last?
About the same, I'm afraid. Was really hoping for more from such a large battery.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher]
Thanks, the way Samsung marketed battery life, I was also expecting a big improvement from the S3.
My Galaxy Watch uses 10% battery per day with AOD off. My S3 used about 25-30%, so it's been a huge improvement for me.
@@TheMrMobile is it worth to buy the galaxy watch if have the gear s3
@@postnet92 no.
does it have a podcast app? i want podcasts when running, cant believe this is such a hard thing to find on the smartwatch market.
Wait, no magnetic swipe pay?!? Wth! That was something which made Samsung Pay special
Samsung told me it needed space in the casing, and while the company goes out of its way to say it's not walking away from MST ... frankly, I don't believe them. I think they're going to sunset it as mag stripe readers get less popular over time.
@@TheMrMobile but there are countries which still use MSRs. In India, you womt find any place(literally) with tap to pay or Apple/Android pay and MST was advertised a lot when Samsung Pay was launched in India
@@suheefuddin9427 Even America is behind on NFC enabled card readers. Apparently a lot of other countries are already close to 100% NFC enabled card readers in stores. But that's just what I've heard from people in other countries. I have no experience to confirm that. Besides the America bit. There are still loads of places lacking NFC readers here.
In Australia no one uses the magnetic swipe cards anymore, at least for me for over a decade. I was really surprised to see my parents in America opening up their oversized wallets to pick a card and swiped. It's shocking!
Samsung Pay is not even available in my country but whatever. Majority of POS here are magnetic swipe or EMV. Seeing an NFC POS here is still rare.
Galaxy Watch, Tic Watch Pro, or Fossil Sport?
Ready to buy my first smartwatch & all I need is responsive UI, good battery life, & replying to text messages.
If you want a responsive ui, Samsung is the one to go to, if you have a Samsung phone. Especially now that they have newer, lower priced galaxy watch active. But if you dont have a Samsung phone, get the fossil or tic watch. You can only respond to text messages on the galaxy watch if you have a Samsung phone
@@ayopiop2392 That's so cool. Thing is I love the idea of Wear OS and wear 2.0+ looks preferred to me.
Only the Galaxy Watch Has wireless charging & I'm indeed about to have an S10, but even still the ticwatch pro on sale for $200 flat sounds ok to me over using the galaxy. Unlike other Wear OS watches mentioned it makes phone calls.
Hopefully that jittery-ness won't make me feel conned after spending $200!
@@psnKnowledge nice choice. I really like the dual screen layout of the tic watch pro
this guy kinda gives me a jeff goldblum vibe
First time I watch one of your videos . . . Awesome review! You got 1 more subscriber!
I wud watch this man review a freaking trash can
I think the slow-by-design you mentioned is something similar with Apple Watch’s short look and long look. It is designed that way so that when you raise your wrist and see an icon of the app which you don’t care, you can simply put down your wrist without reading the notification.
No smart watch is worth it now. After 3 days you will be bored of it :)
Your opinion. I use it for workouts and office meetings very useful
You can set the notifications to show details by default. In the Gear app , go to settings -> notifications -> Auto show details and you'll be all set!
Same for the Idle time detection we can disable in Samsung health app on the watch.
