UPDATE 31/08/2021: Battery life has vastly improved after a firmware update. From 18 hours I am now getting 1.5 - 2 day battery life which is much better than before.
Listen my frnd i am from india i have been watching you for quit a while you are the best and i like your vids they are good and we all want you to stay healthy and stay fit please do something to fix it 😇🤲
Great news Chigz
Could you please advise me what was the applications, notifications, always on, sports, spo2 and HR checking, snoring....etc of your watch. Huge use , medium use or less use
Please pleae please boss advise me in details
Very sorry to bothering you
I get over 5.5 - 6 days battery life on my original 46mm galaxy watch ⌚
@@althebal86 great news ... it seems you are not using all features like calls, notifications, spo2, heart rate...etc)
Could you please advise how it works this much
@@safwatelnamnam4684 all features are turned on. Original 46mm watch has a bigger battery which they downgraded to a smaller capacity in later models
Thx for this one! I've been waiting for a detailed review like that to make my mind up! You really go through it! Nice job, dude 👍🏽😎👌🏽
That was really comprehensive review. Really appreciate all the time and effort you put to bring all the nuances of this in an impartial, non-"marketing-lingo" manner. Thanks
Agreed. It was a great review. 👍🏾
Ditto
I just came across your review. As a new GW4 Classic owner, the timing couldn't have been better. Lots of good info. Thank you!
Awesome video mate!! I saw almost 39mins and was hesitant to watch the video, but after watching, super glad I did!! Incredibly thorough review. Take care and thanks for the huge effort you put into the video 🙌🏾
Hey Chigz, thanks for the thorough review.
Just to let you know the effort you clearly put into doing these reviews is very much appreciated, but as nothing trumps good health, I'm sure nobody will mind you taking a bit of time out now and again to look after yourself.
Wishing you a happy, successful *and healthy* 2022! 👍
Take care mate ! and thank you for taking your time to be THIS thorough with your reviews
Just to say thank you for this review. Answered the questions I had about this watch now I'm considering buying it. Probably because of a software update since this review was done, but heart. rate can now be monitored constantly as can stress. Eats up battery power faster but might be useful. Again....thanks for your reviews...thorough, intelligent and impartial. Keep up the work.
This was one of the most in-depth and useful tech reviews I have ever seen. You earned a sub.
That's an incredibly detailed review. Thanks for all your efforts.
Really brilliant review! Well thought out and edited couldn't fault the level of detail. Hope your health improves mate you're a great youtuber.
I've bought it myself and I' m glad that you tested so many more details with a positive result. Thank you very much.
Not that I'm getting the watch just to play games on it, but can you play games on it?
@@NoHaBi02 yup
Regarding BP test, the GW4 calibration instructions specifically state another device should not measure simultaneously on the same arm - which makes sense, since the cuff temporarily cuts off blood flow. I've found it to be quite accurate when tested properly.
That said, I much appreciate this very thorough and clear review. Good work, thank you. And thank you also for placing your health first 👍🏽
Looked forward to this review, due to your brutal honesty. It does look really good! I look forward to the review of the regular GW4 (especially as I still have the GW2 Active)
Glad to hear, thanks for watching and yes the GW4 is coming soon.
@@ChigzTech when is soon? 😊
I loved how comprehensive your review was. This was useful. Thank you!
So happy i found your channel. Thank you for a detailed review and for updating us about the battery firmware update.
Appreciate sharing the SmartWatch Chart Ranking as well. I downloaded it for reference. Thanks.
Superbly in-depth review, thank you so much. I am definitely going to grab this beauty as soon as I can. Still rocking my Frontier Gear S3, but looking forward to upgrading.
Hi. Does your frontier measure accurate elevation and barometer ?
@@ivangoldberger289 To be honest I don't know how accurate it really is, but it's good for general info.
Thank you Chigz for another quality and always honest review mate! I hope you're soon feeling better and keep exercising an watching urself. Take care!!
very nice video. comprehensive, honest and clear as crystal. more power! looking forward to more videos from you. Love from the Philippines!
This is how a deep review should look like. Excellent work.
Check out Flossy Carter reviews
@@leviandhiro3596 Flossy awesome
Still rocking the original GW and it is running just fine - great battery life and while it lacks the some of the features of the younger models it does the job 👍
Thank you so much for showing us the what's app and voice calling features. You have explained what I have been searching for on you tube!
Bought my watch 2 classic refurbished over 4 years ago and its finally starting to give out on me.
Was very nervous to upgrade but this video made me more confident in my purchase (gotta have that rotating bezel!)
Excited for it to arrive to experience it for myself!
Thanks for an excellent review
Good choice! Enjoy
Just ordered mine today! Great review. It helped make my decision!
Fantastic video review of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 classic sir, I just received mine "the LTE" version a couple of days ago & like you said the quality & features are top notch compared to the competition with or without Wear OS based at similar or higher price range. This is only my third smart watch ever & my first Sammy watch but no Samsung phones, however all the ECG, body composition measurement, stress levels...etc seems to function with my Sony Xperia 1 M II but I haven't fully tested everything or taken it for a test run outdoors.
How's the LTE version on batt life?
Thank you very much man, I was waiting for your review.
What a detailed review man I've watched around 4260 videos on UA-cam because I am trying to get an understanding of the watch before I make the purchase online this is the video that seems to be the best To make an informed decision
You really went above and beyond in this review, absolutely excellent 👊🏾🔥🔥🔥
Hope you're on hypertensive meds bro, keep calm, everything gonna be fine. Thanks for the upload!
Bb
Excellent presentation.The best and in detail.Congratulations.
Bravo!!!!
Subscribing to this channel. I've been looking at various reviews for these watched, and this is the best one yet.
Subscribed
I'd love to see you review the fold 3, you're very detail oriented.
Great review, seems to be most feature packed and good health sensors, battery life is a worry coming from S3 but nothing else seems to close until other wear os 3 device becoming available, in a years time (Samsung have locked this in). Stay healthy man.
The battery life is better than my S3.
A great and a very thorough review. Fantastic job!
Love the style of the video followed within 30 seconds of your video all the way from the US !
I want to thank you for the time you've taken to make this video. You were very thorough and informative. I wanted to know the differences between the Galaxy Watch 3 and 4 along with a few random functions that changed. You cleared up every concern. Thank you again and I hope to see more of your reviews. God bless!
To be honest it is the best and honest review. You clarified the points like BP monitoring etc.
love you man.
May Allah improve your health!
Ordered this watch...can't wait to get it!! Brilliant vidéo. Thanks!!
Such a comprehensive analysis and tutorial. I loved it , wish I had found your channel earlier ! Thank you soo much :)
Most welcome 👍
For me the dealmaker is the physical bezel. I love that kind of thing and I really missed having that on smartwatches
As always, best reviewer for smart watches. The only thing I'm actually pretty annoyed about is the 20mm band. All the 22mm bands I have from previous watches won't work.
UPDATE! Got mine in the mail today; awesome watch aaaalmost everything we wanted. HATE the little strap though. Spigen has an armor case coming out for it that beefs it up for those of us who like slightly chunkier watches; which includes a thick strap built into the case. Just need google assistant to make an appearance and for ECG and BP to work in Canada, and it'll be the watch of my dreams. Legit though whoever at samsung decided to have 20mm band for the bigger watch is a moron lol
Bro that bp reading legit concerned me. Glad you're mindful of it. Love your vids!
Thank you for the time reviewing this watch you nailed everything in a very clean and clear way
Thank you
Appreciate your comment 👍
The best review in the world
U deserve 1 million like for this legendary review
I was afraid 😨 😳 lol because I pre-ordered this watch like so many others.
Thank you Chigz for your thorough honesty review 🤗🤗👍👍
You're welcome. It's a very nice watch. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
@@ChigzTech I was also worried because I pre-ordered before Chigz' review was out, the messaging and SPo² sensor really impressed me. Superb quality review as always 👌🏾
Brilliant review. I literally just bought the watch and looked at some reviews after and was about to take the watch back but i think i will give it a shot now! Thanks
Amazing review man! It convinced me to pick one up for myself should arrive next Tuesday! Take care man prayers 🙏 for your health!
Thanks for the review, my guy!
Cut sugar and refined/processed foods to get the pressure down. Going through this rn myself. Working out alone didn't help until I changed my diet.
Curious about the ability to pair with external HRMs. This was a feature missing over the years. Apple watch could do it since version 2.
Apple fan boy throwing his toys. Apple sucks ass... Shit battery life on all their products and their proprietary bullshit is old
Speedy recovery man. I'll still be here watching your Galaxy Watch 15 review some year later. You'll live a long life and no blood pressure can stop that. God bless you
Got mine 2 hours ago. Doing all the downloads. Super premium watch. Got the classic in steel with the grey band
Probably one of the best reviews I've seen for a long time - thanks very much for that, it was particularly interesting to me as I'm pondering whether to buy a smartwatch, don't know what though although I was thinking of the Samsung G4 (not the Classic).
I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this but I'm waiting for delivery of the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro (laptop) which has a charging pad for my (Samsung 🤣) phone - could this also charge the G4 watch? Also, what are the chances of being able to use the laptop to charge the other smartwatch I'm interested in - the TicWatch Pro 3.
Keep up the good work and keep taking the tablets - I'm in the same boat as you! 👍
Getting this for my birthday. Wife already told me. She's awesome.
In my opinion, the best review for this watch. Well done.
Amazing review! Really complete!!!! Thanks for sharing this video!
Hope you are doing allright! Your blood pressure is pretty high if I may say so, let's hope for better recovery!
Are there any other cons when the GW4 classic is used on a separate Android device, besides the Blood Pressure/ECG monitoring that is not able to work?
Brilliant review mate, looks like I'll trade in my active 2 to get the watch 4 classic as it looks the best
Fantastic review! One of the best I’ve watch for a watch i want to buy. Looking forward for thec comparison with tickwatch 3 pro.
Awesome detailed review of an incredible device. Thanks so much.
Best review I’ve seen, very honest & has helped me decide to buy the watch (upgrade to my old frontier) & mainly for the health monitors. I charge my watch daily anyway so wasn’t to bothered about the battery life.
great video, I'm loving my gw4c. battery seems same as gw3 . hopefully a update will fix . thanks again 👍👍👍
My battery is way better compared to my S3.
One of the best review i saw on youtube. GOOD JOB
Great review, best one I've seen so far. Hope you're taking care of your heart. take care
Great review! I've had my Galaxy Watch 4 for two days now and haven't even begun to learn all of its features. I'm coming from an original Galaxy Watch, so this is a nice upgrade. My only issue is battery life on my LTE version. I'd love a video with tips for saving battery while still enjoying the watch. Right now, I run a static watch face and take it off while sitting at my desk to add some charge from my phone so that I can sleep with it on.
Do you still use the watch?
How much time on your battery you have now?
Me I would disable all the health monitoring, maybe instead of sleep if you really want it ( how much would that give you? )
@@theperfectionist4702 I still use it every day. It doesn't charge very quickly, so I top off the battery before going to bed, then again in the morning when I'm in the shower.
I was thinking to upgrade my Ticwatch Pro 3 to the Galaxy, but battery is a deal killer. The Ticwatch has absolutely fantastic battery life... we can't blame wear-os anymore for this, Ticwatch has shown how it's done. Just wish it had the rotating bezel.
To be fair I treat it like my phone when I go to bed it goes on charge. Good enough for me
Thanks for a detailed video, great job! Take care of yourself.
Thank you so much! We need more honest reviews.
This is where android and Samsung shines , in the area of customization. Good to see them taking advantage of it
You can't customize shit on this watch
@@user-wl4wv1kc2v you can customise the wallpaper really well with the latest update
Finally the only review that really matters 👍🏿
Nah homey Flossy Carter is also the truth.
Black lives matter matters.
Excellent review, which has helped me to make a decision on my first smartwatch - thanks!
As someone said, "The only review that matters". Excellent man !
I've had every Iwatch and Galaxy ever made. Finally we have a real apple grinder!
I got my Classic 4 yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised how beautifully improved this one is!
I am so impressed, I didn't expect it to be this Great!
How is your battery life?
Exactly! I’ve had all galaxy and apple watches. As I keep both platforms. This galaxy watch series 4 classic probably just took first place out of ALL of em.. hands down 🔥
@@mrklugiii it's bad
Hi Mark
How was the battery?
@@mrklugiii Battery life is great. Couple of days with always on Off.
I have been using the smaller watch4 classic and I've consistently had 36~38 hrs of battery, the battery life did get longer and more consistent after an update or two.
How's the battery now ?
Thank you for so detailed and honest review. Will there be a Galaxy Watch 4 review up anytime soon too?
Thanks for this really helpful video!
Covered almost all info I was looking for.

Take care!
I'm interested in the sleep monitoring, can you review that as well?
Even though you are a iphone user this was the best watch review and honest review I have seen so far
when did he say he was an iPhone user??
Awesome video u have do a great jobs provide all the details keep up your good works👍
Cool i just ordered mine its the galaxy watch 4 classic bro your reviews is gonna help me understand my new watch
Great review, thank you. One question, how "water proof" is the watch? I have the original Samsung Galaxy Watch (2018 release) and recently the sensor cover on the back came off. Like the glue released, maybe due to water getting under it when doing everyday things like washing hands, dishes or brushing teeth. Will this same thing happen with the Samsung watch 4 classic??
Can someone answer
IP68
A merciless, cruel and sadistic review that was actuallly well made and positive 😅
Deserves a sub for the honest brutal reviews, thank you
This video was made for me. I decided to get the Samsung watch 4 (bought it before watching this video) to check my blood pressure. Turns out you have hypertension stage 2 just like me. Also the rest of the video was extremely helpful for me having never owned a smart watch. Noice! Thanks!
04:25 For me personally, I went with the LTE version for peace of mind. Let's say I'm going on a run without my phone - I agree that it's not necessary to have internet access, since you can still use gps and listen to music stored on the device.
But: Let's say I trip and get hurt, or some other emergency occurs - with the LTE version I always have the peace of mind that I can call 911, even if I don't have the eSim activated. In fact, it'll do it for me when I'm unconscious using the fall detection. Imo this could save my or someone else's life which I'll happily pay 40 bucks more for
I was just pissed off that i found out after i brought it the LTE version has to be the same service provider as your phone. I have a prepaid phone and i thought the watch would be able to have its own service independent of my phone. Well, you live and you learn i guess.
Lte model is not available everywhere
So many reasons to get the LTE version! With such a small price difference it's actually crazy to NOT get the LTE model! (Where available of course).
Another plus for the LTE version you can add it to your phone plan and pay it off in payments instead of up front which I wouldn't be able to afford
I have the Watch4 Classic LTE. It can't get a cell signal when my other phones do. Go figure. Not happy.
Отличный обзор, самый качественный пока что я видел! Спасибо
Great review...very thorough. Much appreciated!!
I normally check out reviews before I purchase any tech stuff but I made a blind purchase with this watch I had the original galaxy watch so I was due for a new. I have been a Samsung chick for years and never dissapoint. Your review is awesome I just subscribed.
I was wondering why u haven't reviewed yet. I checked everyday to make sure I was subscribed to you. Thanks for the review. I use a OnePlus and will be getting a pixel 6 pro in October. Should I get this or the ticwatch pro 3?
Thanks for waiting for my video. If you don't mind the battery life, then this GW4 Classic is better in nearly every way, full comparison coming soon.
@@ChigzTech thanks for the reply. I will wait on the full comparison
@@frankw3123 Yeah, I second this! I'm also waiting for the pixel 6 but I currently have the pixel 4a 5G. I already have the normal galaxy watch 4. I had it on preorder and it arrived pretty early. I've had it for about 2 days now, and I can honestly say it is really fast and responsive for the initial set up is quite a bit though. If you don't have one, I would recommend creating a Samsung account with Samsung wearable and Samsung health and you're all set, but once you're set up it's fine. Everything from notification calls and messages come in very quickly, the wear OS side is slowly gaining more and more support so it will hopefully tie together nicely.
try daily magnesium taurate, it droped my blood pressure by almost 8 points and it also helps you relax
What's that?
I was expecting this video, because I pre ordered mine already.
Awesome video as always Chigz
Thanks, enjoy its a very good watch.
Congs bro
Just got mine yesterday. Loving it so far.
When they launch next watch they will send it to you mate for sure with the review
Thanks, will wait and see.
Loved your review. Just got mine this morning and I do not like hearing that I'll have to charge it everyday as I'm used my OG Galaxy Watch 46mm that I only charge every 3 days. But I guess I have to take the good with the bad.
The longest battery life I've gotten so far with my 40mm watch four is 33hrs. That's with heart monitoring on every 10 min, no AOD, vibration intensity on low. Plus I'm not recieving all my notifications despite enabling them . I'm really debating if I want to keep mine.
@@chocolatte8301 I did notice that it says that it's learning my usage and all that. Plus I'm not sure if I got such great life in the beginning of my original watch. So we'll see.
@@carbullzone953 I am going to give it a week longer. I think we that purchased from Samsung have 3 weeks to decide. As of right now I'm not impressed. But sometimes an update can really turn things around.
@@carbullzone953 mine said learning usage the first 2 days now it no longer says that. Right now at 3hr 40 mins I'm at 80%. It estimates 1d1hr batt left.
@@chocolatte8301 double check that. Usually have 14 days
I have one. I really like it! No complaints. The battery life could be longer but the power save feature helps enormously.
Great review, thanks for making it.
wonderful/ quite detailed review....just one point want to underscore here- BP cuff should have been put in another arm....as putting both things together in one limb would give incorrect reading....else it was fantastic review.
Yes your right but I did test on same arm but one at a time, not at the same time. I did also switch arms afterwards to see if there was a major difference, and very similar results.
@@ChigzTech great....Hope you are doing good...I wish you have healthy life ahead...keep up the great work
How good is the bluetooth range now that it has BT 5 compared to last generations BT 4.2?
Very very good in GW Active 2
Great, thorough review!! 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👊🏾
thank you so much for detailed review, i am going to order one now
