What are your favorite features? Anything I didn't mention in this video?
I love the new gesture added recently to open an app. I use it to open the Google clock's handwashing timer since it starts the timer as soon as the app opens and I can just do the gesture and not touch the watch with dirty hands. Also the app just closes on its own after its done. I found the Samsung handwashing app doesn't auto detect my handwashing well at work since there's automatic sinks there and they turn off too quickly for the app to detect.
Can you buy one Samsung watch 4 for me plzzz
I love customizing my watchfaces. I didn't realize you could set the snore feature from the watch, thanks for that. I don't like having my phone by the bed so this will be great. I'm also glad you mentioned the phone disconnect if you leave your phone...that's terrific. There are so many things I love about this watch. It's just as fun thing to have❤️
You mentioned being able to customize the top button long press with the two options being Bixby or the power off menu. It would be relevant to mention that long pressing both buttons simultaneously opens the power off menu by default.
What about it's being water resistant or water proof. Is it safe to take swimming in the ocean or pool or shower?
quick story on how important phone disconnect was for me... I went on holiday abroad and in a bag was all my holiday money, credit cards, passport and phone, I got out of a taxi at a hotel, offloaded all my bags (so I thought) and walked off... as I got into the hotel lobby my watch vibrated and told me I was not near my phone! this could have been a really valuable lesson to learn if I had not had the phone disconnect feature on!
You didn't mention the "hard fall detection" feature. This is awesome, and will send out an automatic SOS message or call someone when a hard fall is detected.
@@idadeleon5344 Yes, it has.
Where is this please?
@@tracyyeaman3280 Watch Settings > Advanced Features > SoS
But how do i test if it works? Slam myself on the ground?
@@mcterb7142 yes
I work at an environment where I can listen to music on my earbuds but cannot look at the phone. This watch is a dream come to as it allows me to change/skip/search songs when I was playing in UA-cam music.
Perfect! That’s a great benefit that I may mention in future videos. Thanks for sharing
Likewise. I'm not able to look at my phone often, if at all, while I'm working. This watch is indeed a dream come true!
The Body fat thing thing was actually spot on to the machine we have at the gym where the PT gives out a huge paper with the same stuff on. 5/5 time it says the same with maybe 0.2 in a difference on some of them
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
One thing I would recommend is enabling Developers Options... It's really handy and you can further control how the watch behaves, like animation speed and transitions to make it feel more snappy (fast) or smoother, vibrations settings and its behaviour when charging, Wifi, BT and other advanced features to make your watch suit your needs further or make it more efficient....
You can't change most of the stuff you said
@@Ignacio.Romero stfu man.
You can change that shit.
Animation scale 0.5x
Window scale 0.5x
Vibration on connectivity change
Screen stay awake while charging
WiFi settings and Bluetooth debug
I saw a video showing a work around as a developer to install Google Assistant now. But, I would never try it thinking I might screw something up. Sounds interesting though.
@@carolenelson6763 link/source? as interested to try
And how to turn OFF the developer mode? @Dr Ghost
Absolutely loving my watch 4 (non classic).. Fitness tracking has been surprisingly accurate. If I may make one suggestion Mike, you should raise some awareness about Samsungs watch face studio, it's an incredible way to design your own perfect watch face for the watch 4
Did you purchase the 40mm version or the 44mm , i am confused between the two , 40 mm is out of stock from a long time so thinking about 44mm but not sure of its too Big
@@gaurav7891 I got the 44mm and I personally think it's the best choice, provided your wrists aren't extremely small. I have small wrists and it doesn't look too big at all, and you get superior battery life. I would also suggest getting your own 20mm straps as the standard straps bulge out ridiculously, making the watch seem much bigger than it is
@@mikewillmore3780 thank you for your response what's your wrist size btw so that i can compare it with mine and then cab decide on the purchase accordingly
@@gaurav7891 Just under 18cm 👌
@@mikewillmore3780 thank you buddy!!!
For Number 9, rearranging your apps, this is done really quickly and easily through the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone 👍
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
@@waqasrf20 not for me
@@jezhoffman3630 bro is speaker sound good on audio which we save to watch through mobile???
@@waqasrf20 No idea, sorry. Not done this before. The sound on the watch is pretty basic though so likely to be ok but nothing special
I dont think Bixby gets enough credit. I use it for 1) take a photo (when Hands are in use like holding the object-my cat), 2)take a selfie 3) change the screen time to 10 minutes when I working on a recipe 4) send a text message to someone 5) It also makes reservations. These are things the google assistant doesnt do. Maybe I'm the only one that uses it?
good to know, thank you
Bro if i use daily 12 hours always on display will it b ok for watch 4. Will it b issue for watch?? Plz guide
I just use Bixby for timer and to call wife if I'm driving or busy and the weather.
That's about it
Surprised noone is mentioning the flashlight with a gesture. Super useful for me atleast.
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
I pretty much used all the features mentioned in the video! Great content! Another fun feature for this watch is to be able to use it as your phone camera shutter if your setting up your camera at a distance.
I didnt have the remote camera on my watch. Samsung said its because my Note 8 is too old. You need at least a Note 10 but I found Camera One will download & work. I really havent used it but it looks cool.
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
Really??
A good thing to do is to link Theatre Mode with Bixby Routines so that when you turn it on, it turns on Do Not Disturb on your phone. Not sure why it doesn't do this natively, like Bedtime Mode, but it's still a neat thing to do.
Still waiting for OneUI 4 for my N20U, there is new action in Bixby Routines for Watch 4 to change the watch face. It is getting better now.
Great tip, thanks!!
@@JanOZw You're very welcome! Merry Christmas!
Will this work for non Samsung phones?
Good stuff, as always, Mike. I hope you have a safe and happy holiday!
Thanks, you too!
Love this! The features are so good.
Changing the disconnection notification to an "alert" really helped me when I forget my phone somewhere. I use my watch daily and it lasts just over a day and a half. Awesome watch
I've been loving the classic😍 It's sooo helpful. I love it
Having enabled Samsung pay, accessing my phone now requires a pin and pattern. I understand this is for security however getting into my phone is not a process and would prefer to only have the pin / pattern when making a payment - is this possible?
I've been a proud owner of the smartwatch for over two weeks, and even though I was initially skeptical about the battery life, OS optimization is so effective that I'm capable of getting two full days out of the watch now.
How the connection is impacting your phone batttery?
@@tarekekram8441 Since I updated the Samsung Health app to the newest version, the battery of my phone has been depleting a bit faster because of it being almost constantly awake. It started to irk me, and I didn't want to spend time searching for an answer about how to downgrade the app, so I decided to force stop Samsung Health and open it only when I really need it. It didn't fully solve the issue as the app loads itself up every time it senses that the phone has been moved or the watch has started monitoring my sleep, but at least it doesn't make such a dent in the phone's battery life.
What I'm trying to say in this somewhat convoluted manner is that the most recent iteration of Samsung Health doesn't work as advertised. However, I'm hopeful that Samsung are going to address the problem in light of Galaxy Watch 5 making its debut and consumers reporting their first pet peeves with the product.
@@kajetanczechowski1263 apprectiate your feedback. I really hope Samsung find a solution to this not ending issue. "Battery performance" whether in Phone Smart watch or Buds.
@@tarekekram8441 I'm content with the battery performance of the Watch itself, because - to be honest - it exceeded all my expectations, but sometimes the overall experience can be ruined by bugs in the companion software, such as mobile phone apps which have been devised to interact with the wearable without any glitches.
@@kajetanczechowski1263 it just hard for me to imagine having more than one device to charge on daily basis. Am ok with charging my phone once a day. But a watch or buds shall be always ready to go. Instead of being always concerned about being charged enough or not. Anything less than three days considered low performance for such accessories. Thats why I haven't owned a Smart watch or Buds yet.
Where did you get that black and white band from??? That band is sick, bro!
I love the find my phone feature. I forget where I put it down when I don't have a pocket. I assigned it to the home button. Sooo handy
If you download the Google assistant you can have that set for your key instead of Bixby. I personally use my double press for my music app.
I LOVE phone disconnection alerts! It was automatically enabled and I left my phone in the store the other day, got to the parking lot and got the disconnection alert! Phew! My phone is also my car key, so if I walk away from the car and my wrists buzzes, I know to run back and get my phone! Love it.
Getting one of these bad boys for Christmas. It'll be my first smart watch and I really cant wait
How do you setup the disconnected phone alert in settings i havent found it
Perfect for those of us who got one for Christmas.
Never thought I'd use this being young and healthy but I got a respritory infection (like bronchitis but milder) and the oxygen blood scanner is useful.
Is it accurate?
Question, I have a fossil gen 6 and I was wondering how do you change the keyboard, I have the Google keyboard already but I'm kind of tired or having the letter so tiny I almost always put a S instead of the letter A. And also what other keyboard would you suggest ?
Hadn't finished the vid yet but wanted to ask where you can get that white breathable sports band. I had one for my Active 2 but that one looks legit!! Thank
Great information. Do you know if the U.S. will get the blood pressure option on this watch?
Would Airpods 2nd Gen connect to this watch and would it have the tap to pause feature etc.?
And yet another Fantabulous n Educational video! You sold me! Bought mine TODAY!
Hiiiii mike ! love your videos!!!
I saw the icon for a compass. I would like to know how well the built in on screen compass works?
This is my first smart watch, and I love it lol
Can you add a link for buying the black band that you have?
Love your videos does the G board app work with older Galaxy watches
GBoard is supposed to be on the Play Store and since the older Galaxy Watches do not run on Android, I'm pretty sure it is not possible to install it, at least not officially.
Developer options and setting the animation speeds is one I always do, same as it's done on a Samsung phone.
Great video ! Thanks
It will be another awesome feature if your phones battery is below 5% (maybe user can change the minimum level) and notify to the watch to charge your phone.
What is the watch face shown at 0:26?? It looks like the premium analogue but with the right hand complication black.
Very informative, thanks for the tutorial.
Bro if i use daily 12 hours always on display will it b ok for watch 4. Will it b issue for watch?? Plz guide
Hi,
is it have a barometer sensor? It's useful for weather forecast, please review it with its apps
Thanks
Hello. How do I download the qwerty keyboard?
Being totally blind I love that they include Talkback screenreader.
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
Hello Mike. I came across your videos which I find to be the best which is why I liked, subscribed, and shared them. I don't wear watches because I don't like the feel of watches, but with a new job in the Cardiovascular unit of the hospital, I find that I need to purchase my first smartwatch - primarily for voice reminders for frequent blood transfusion reminders for example. I didn't hear you speak of voice reminders; however, after watching many of your videos, I assume this feature is readily available on all Samsung models(?) Maybe the smaller watch is better because it would be easier to clean/sanitize bodily fluids? What is your recommendation for hospital use, the regular or the classic Samsung device (money is not a determining factor)?
What is the black leather band you show on the watch in this video? Looks like it fits really nice.
Hi Mike, Please talk about fall/SOS features, installation, options. Thanks
I didn't know there was a hard fall sos notification until I read it in the comments. Heard you mention briefly early in the video too. 👍🏼
Thats great if you leaving by yourself I might get it just for that I have the active 2 but just want to upgrade it
Great info! I ordered my Samsung Galaxy 4 Watch today. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 20. Is the stylus pen compatible with the watch? I'm looking forward to getting to know my new watch!
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
Got my watch on the weekend so your videos have been very helpful mate cheers 👍🇦🇺
How did you manage to get the google app onto your watch? I can't do mine. I tried everything.
What strap are you using on the classic watch??
You can strap it to the back of your phone, & use it as a selfie camera monitor. WHY? The best camera on your phone is in the back. (Camera control app is only available for Samsung S-series, 9 & above devices. )
Just wear it and you can control the camera from a distance
Something frustrating. When I use Google maps navigating the watch4 with auto detect walking will record a session and closes maps which I'm using to navigate. Any way to work around this? Thanks
Where did you get the white straps with the black holes?
It's one of the Samsung extreme sport bands
Great review!
Is it better than the active2 I've had mine for going on this full year I really like it just curious i know there a watch 5 coming out but don't know when if its way better than my active2 i will be getting that one for sure 🤔
Its defenetly better, not waay better tho id wait for watch 5 prolly coming mid 2022
I have used active 2 and now got watch 4, and I advice you to wait for watch 5 , not because of I dont like watch 4, there is some really new features and most important for me is google play, but I still think that it doesnt worth upgrade active watch 2 to watch 4
@@buraktay4410 wow thanks for that info 👍🏾
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
Looking for the link to the G-board in your description but don't see it...
Thank you 😊
Awesome video!
I love the stress feature!
I just bought this watch 2022 today how do u make your battery light up
it’s possible disable bezel function to use it like dive watch or to track time elapse ? i mean = disable the bezel to dont go to menu when i turn or spin . I want that the bezel even rotating do not go to menu , i need to stay in pointers face to use tachymeter
Where do you find the option from number 14, to get a notification when the phone is disconnected, or when you're forgetting to take your phone with you?
Wants to remember a song for later but can't use his phone as he's driving. Proceeds to take both hands off the wheel to take a screenshot of his phone 🤣
you can tell Bixby to take a screenshot without taking your hands off the wheel
@@mariposarayna1418good to know!
@@mariposarayna1418but you can directly ask bixby about the name of the song
Where's the secret "make watch battery last for 4 days" feature? I can't find it since I switched from my Galaxy Active 2
Tap the battery icon at 12 o'clock. It can be tricky to do. Then scroll to the bottom, and there's "Watch only" mode.
dude where the heck do you turn on the setting you mentioned number 14 I just can't find it
On your watch, go to settings > connections > disconnection alerts
@@MK-qe6fj Thanks!
Love my watch 4! Got one for a friend for Christmas!
Does it work with iPhones or only Samsung
@@VS-yk3gu it works for android phones
3:55 for rearranging the apps, it is easier for me doing it right from my phone
thats a nice black strap. May I know where did you buy?
The ability to flip the orientation was a game changer that samsung snuck back into the watch. I'm a left hander and it's a welcome feature.
Just ordered it, it was so less than I changed my mind from going to Mi Active Revolve to this. I am just so hyped for this!
Great tips, Thanks Mike. Do you lose too much functionality without a Samsung phone? I'm upgrading my S10. I prefer pure Android (Pixel) but, the S21FE has better specs and S22 is only weeks away...
I saw a video saying the S22 ultra has a lot less storage than the fold which doesnt doesnt sound fair at all.
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
I looked on settings and didn't find phone disconnect alert. How did you do that?
I can't seem to get blood pressure to work. The on watch Smsg H Monitor app does have BP... Any suggestions?
Getting my watch 4 tomorrow, can't wait
Hi how is your watch going
Where can I get the white face and band for the watch ?
Hey Mike couple questions any news on google assistant on the galaxy watch 4, and do you know if they will add it to like the galaxy pro head phones, I hate Bixby, oh and any new news on the google watch
Phenomenal video. If only GW4 had Google Assistant.
it does friend.
Yes it does. Thankfully the update came out a few weeks ago. Guess I need to update my comment. Lol
@@arozzell81 works pretty decently too.
It does my friend.
It would be nice if they would add a camera feature by now..I just ordered the regular 4 today since tmobile is offering it for free when you open a watch line.
Well on the camera button on the watch it let's you open up your phones camera and take pics. Basically like a S Pen.
Great vid 👌 👍 👏 🙌 😀 I'd love to know where you got that light grey silicon strap from? The one with the double strap holes....its a lovely style! 👌 😎
You can take a screenshot of that strap and do Google image search :)
The compass...it's fabulous.
Altimeter (using barometer) is a very useful for trekkers or high altitude mountain pass driving.
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
Is there any way to set pool length below 20m? My watch stops at this number and my pool is 18m.
Always had a problem with my GW 2 - often when raising watch the screen failed to light up. I remember seeing a reviewer also mentioning this annoyance. Anyone getting this with the GW 3 or 4?
Where can i get that white and black watch band?
Can you please tell me where I can find the phone disconnect option on my watch or phone??
On your watch, go to settings > connections > disconnection alerts.
Can you listen to music on the watch 4 like the gear 2?
How do set a custom wallpaper on the watch 4 or 5?
Hi, am getting one next Feb so thanks Mike. Cheers from Australia.
Massive jb hifi savings on now
Can someone recommend me the perfect charger for watch 4 classic? I'm using the charger that I got with my Samsung S10 plus, output is 9V. I felt the charging speed is pretty slow, or this the best we get in terms of changing speed?
Use the one that came with your watch? If you don't have it, I'd recommend ordering from Samsung or a reputable company. After market chargers can zap ur battery after so long
Bro is there any sound issue either on audio or UA-cam?? Plz guide
It does not come with a charger just the cable I use just a regular charging block
Hi . Hv a small problem please help
My galaxy watch 4 brightness is disabled In my s22 plus.. trying to use it from my phone but somehow it is disabled..though I can access through my watch but not from my phone
1:00
❓ Does this feature also work with a SmartTag?
Now when I leave my Samsung SmartTag behind, my Phone alerts me. But I'd love to have my Watch alerting me (because I don't always have my smartphone with me).
I'm so hyped, mine it's going to arrive tomorrow!
Same here! How many times a day you check shipment tracking?
Please suggest how is the battery backup??
Get a metal band. It goes very well with the watch, and looks far better than the other ones
I still don't understand how you're still not a Tech Giant like MKBHD
Thanks for your kind words! The channel is still pretty young but we’re about to pass 300k subscribers!!
Can I use the Google assistant with it?
Anyone want to tell me where you can get that white and black band?
Anyone have any updated info on the 5? Or should I just go grab a 4??
i think some of these things even the original can do
