I've never seen a review of Galaxy Watch 4 that talking about BMI sensor so in detail: a really comparison between a professional machine which cost $6000 VS a smart watch of $250 and give the same result... incredibile, and the best review ever!
@@sugasuga878 Don't say shit 😒 When you put your fingers in the watch, the watch produces a light electric current, and because of the difference in the speed of transmission of electricity from fat to muscles to... , you can calculate the percentage of fat and so on. Almost all companies use this technology, but the best company is the owner of this invention called inbody and it is more A minute from the rest of the bullshit in the market including xiaomi ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-26Qw6SvKXSw.html And galaxy watch 4 did an excellent work
UPDATES: Since publishing this video: 1.) Spotify now supports offline downloads. 2.) Telegram has been pulled from Wear OS 3.) I’ve learned that you can customize the amount of data displayed during workouts. Start a workout and click on the gear to dive into settings
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.
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!
This is the first Fitbit I have used. It has some new features ru-vid.comUgkxbkrje8Y7BaqRkAjimw-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!
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.
@@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)
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 RU-vid! Thank you tested on the machine InBody and compare with the watch!!
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. :/
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.
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.
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!!
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
*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!*
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.
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?
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How come no one ever reviews the fitness tracking capabilities while swimming?? The site says it can do it, and so do their advertising and promotional material... but I've seen no tech reviewer test swimming workouts!
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 get the new galaxy phones but with watches, I get a the model that's a couple years old to be frugal. I'll be getting this one soon. Thanks for the review
