A very good purchase at around €200. Apart from some synchronization issues during the first use, and after many resets on the first day, the watch connects steadily and continuously to non-Samsung Android phones.
It is important to grant the necessary permissions, Autostart, as well as to disable the battery saving function for Samsung Wearable and Galaxy Watch4 Plugin apps through the mobile's App Settings. If your phone automatically closes these apps, there may be connection and synchronization issues.
The Samsung Health app is very satisfactory and personally, I find it better than Google Fit so far. The Samsung Health Monitor app is the one you will need to sideload if you want the blood pressure and electrocardiogram to work (as it is only available on Samsung phones). For those who are familiar with cmd on Windows, adb, and have 5-10 minutes, they can find online the relevant instructions and necessary files to enable Blood Pressure and ECG on non-Samsung Android phones.
There are satisfactory options on the Play Store for more interesting and useful Watch Faces than those provided by Samsung with the watch, however, empirically I would say that it is worth spending 2-3 euros for a watch face that satisfies aesthetically and functionally as the best ones are paid and provide flexibility with widgets (shortcuts for apps and functions) on the home screen.
Finally:
it is positive that it supports Google Pay for payments (with banks that support it),
negative that it does not currently support Google Assistant (as there is no Google Home app for Android Wear),
and a mediocre battery situation that definitely lasts a day of use but not more if used extensively. It would be better if it had fast charging, but 0-100 takes 2 hours.
If you want to rely on the battery and charging of the smartwatch, then it's ideal. Daily charging can be tiring. Yes, it has all the features it has (only when connected to android), but that's about it.
Transitioning from Mi Band 5 and aware of the small battery it has.
I wanted a change to something better, a bit more elegant and different.
Since I wanted something to use 98% of the time for the time but also with extra features if I need them, it was my first choice within a budget I could afford.
First and foremost, its battery drains quickly with Bluetooth on and battery saving for a 24-hour period, but if you use it exclusively for time with Bluetooth off and a non-animated watch face, the battery can last up to 3 days at most, which doesn't bother me.
Mainly, it drains battery during sleep tracking.
Design-wise, it is beautiful, with a wonderful screen for my tastes, but it definitely needs a case and a protective glass due to the sensitive material (glass and aluminum).
It connected immediately to my S23 without issues.
It measures accurately, is lightweight on the wrist, and has a very soft silicone strap, which surprisingly didn't bother me due to allergies.
Overall, I am very satisfied for my personal use.
Of course, there are cheaper options, but this one is an excellent choice if you overlook its battery and are aware of what you want to use it for.
Valuable little watch but for its price, it's overrated. Personally, I bought it just for reading PDFs in moments when it's not allowed to take out your phone ;). You can transfer PDFs and photos through apps. There are many videos on YouTube with instructions. Thank me later!
I have had it for 3 years and I have worn it out. Simple, minimalist design, it can take on various applications due to wearos, you can even browse (access YouTube, Facebook, etc.) but of course with very limited speeds. You can put photos on the watch, change and customize all the watch faces, and the measurements are good (I compared it side by side with an Apple Watch and a Xiaomi smartwatch, and all three gave the same results). It even opens PDF files. Now the battery... We're talking about a real smartwatch with all the available functions, so the battery life is quite short and it's expected, BUT if you don't have it constantly connected to your phone and just use it to track heart rate, steps, and exercise, the battery lasts a little over 3 days. Overall, it is very durable; I have hit it many times, I shower with it, and it hasn't suffered any damage so far.
2 years later and the watch works like the first day. I haven't regretted buying it for a moment. It has been convenient for me while walking, running, and exercising. It also shows you the body composition with percentages of fat and muscle mass. Combine it with the facer app and you can have endless watch faces for your watch.
This particular watch is moderately good because without a Bluetooth connection it lasts barely 2 days, and with a Bluetooth connection it lasts one day; otherwise, it is a very good watch.
3 months owner, has been in the sea and pool and works perfectly. It measures well, I check pressure, heart rate, steps, sleep. It does not detect snoring well. The battery is decent (for Samsung) lasts barely 2 days with normal use (not calls and many notifications though), charges quickly and there is the option to charge from the phone - if it has power sharing mode. It does not disconnect at the slightest, has satisfactory range. Convenient on the wrist, many options in straps to change appearance and generally a very good smart watch. I don't exercise to check much, but for simple daily use it is just what I need. It needs screen protection so it doesn't get scratched (although it is quite durable). Speech and sound very good if someone wants to use it for calls.
Versatile and stylish, it does what it promises, but its battery is pathetic. It doesn't last even a day... I'm not enjoying it, I keep putting it in "energy saving" mode so it's like a regular watch.
Quality!
Beautiful.
You can do everything at the ANDROID level even though it has been on the market for 4 years!
Its price at €125 is excellent, but its battery is disappointing.
THE BATTERY ruins everything.
If you use it frequently throughout the day, it needs charging 2 to 3 times.
A big hassle, just for that I do not recommend it.
In my opinion, spend a little more money and go straight to the 6.
I bought this gadget with huge reservations.
With a Samsung device and Samsung headphones, I think the watch is one-way to be in the Samsung ecosystem.
The initial activation and setup took about two hours.
I never believed that so many things could fit into 40mm to see and do. It has some excellent features that I didn't realize I needed until I saw them.
Timer, alarm clock, do not disturb, GPS extremely accurate, sleep and exercise tracking. Some apps like WhatsApp, maps, Gmail, and Spotify are impressively good with many features for a smartwatch so you don't need to pick up the phone, like some quick carefully pre-selected replies.
The screen is crystal clear and bright under the sun while remaining extremely responsive to commands. The build quality is something that isn't even up for discussion since it's excellent. It's not for harsh conditions, but it's beautiful and adds style.
What I would like more:
YouTube to be able to play sound from the smartwatch speaker like Spotify does.
When you receive voice messages, you should be able to listen to them instead of looking at the phone.
So far, the only negative is the battery. With power use, it barely lasts a day, and the charging at 5W is excessively slow. The good thing is that it charges wirelessly from my phone (Note 20). After 7 hours of sleep at night, it loses about 20% of its charge.
In conclusion: An excellent smartwatch for someone who wants something entry-level from Samsung. If you like the experience but want something more, definitely consider a next model with a larger screen (e.g., 44mm) and faster charging as good solutions, but really, even this option is a good choice that you won't regret
I wear the watch non-stop for about 2 years and.. it's the best. I talk on the phone, listen to music, it connects immediately, detects movements on its own. It has all the fitness programs you can imagine. It even measures blood pressure. worth it! ️
Very good watch, but not for now. There are many new smart watches but if you want something economically good, this watch is good BUT there are both positives and negatives.
Positives:
Fits well on the wrist but if you have a small wrist, get the smallest one. Its capabilities are many and good, it has many sports for tracking, heart rate, stress, sleep, blood oxygen, ECG, and body pressure. CAUTION, the last 2 are if you have a Samsung mobile phone due to the Samsung health monitor that it does not have but android. It has other positives but see them in other reviews.
Negatives:
After three years, its battery is quite bad and it lasts 10 hours without much use even if it is new. The strap needs to be changed because it is a bit worn out but again I have had it for 3 years, just if you get it and want it for a long time, know this about the strap, it sometimes sticks because the processor is not very good and it is on android 13. The pixels are somewhat obvious because it does not have a high resolution. When I put continuous measurement sometimes it does not count it but it is logical because I have a small wrist and I should have gotten the smallest one. In terms of scratches, things are a bit bad because if you hit it moderately, the paint will come off over time and it leaves fingerprints.
Final conclusion: If you want to get something economically good and you are not very bothered by the negatives it has, take it but I suggest you get the watch 5 for some improvements.
The build quality seems very good. The measurements and all the tools it has are also flawless. But guys, it doesn't last 12 hours without any special use... You can't take it off every so often and charge it a little. I wouldn't buy it again if I could choose due to its terrible battery.
After 2 days of having it, it turned off as soon as I entered the sea. It has been sent for service and I am waiting to see what they will tell me. I want a refund after this and not a replacement. Of course, I am waiting to see if they will find the product faulty or if they will say something else. I am waiting and will return with any updates. They took it back and returned my money. Scrut 5-star guarantee for this
In everything else it is good but this battery suffers... It does not have a long autonomy, only that, it needs to be charged every 2 days for sure. What a pity...
The watch is top-notch in everything except for two main disadvantages.. a, it is very fragile, the screen shatters easily in a low fall. b, The battery with Bluetooth connectivity lasts about 8 hours.
First time smart watch owner. Overall, I am satisfied with its features. The battery needs to be charged every day/day and a half, but reading the reviews you expect it and eventually it doesn't bother me so much. For ECG and Blood Pressure you need to have a Samsung mobile to install the app, but with a little searching and a little trial and error you can find the modded Samsung Health Monitor app that allows you to bypass the restrictions and install it on your mobile.
Very good watch even though I didn't expect anything less...2 years of use without any problem..The only negative is that if someone sends you a photo on messenger or somewhere else, you can't see it while on watch 3 it displays it normally.
I literally threw away 150 euros because its battery doesn't last even 24 hours! Everything else is very good, but you need to charge the watch every day. I have an older watch that lasts at least 15 days. Unacceptable, I do not recommend it
Nice watch, I bought 2 for my children, rich features, but what I didn't take into consideration at all was the battery life. I really see them charging it every 1-1.5 days. The only, but significant reason why it's not worth its money. At least I hope the battery life is long, let's wait and see.
Very good watch overall. It measures everything. This model is a bit slow, it has a delay in scrolling and swiping while the classic one does not. The battery lasts at most one day if you're lucky
I am very disappointed with the product.
The synchronization with your mobile is not so easy.
The bracelets are made with very low-quality silicone.
The battery duration is ridiculous, I need to charge the watch every day. For a smartwatch that costs more than €200, the battery should last at least 1 week.
I will try to sell it and buy another one more capable and with a lower price.
It's fine, but unfortunately its battery needs to be charged every day. This is very negative. I'm even thinking of selling it. That's why I gave it 3 stars.
The smartwatch is excellent! I've had it for 2 weeks and I'm still discovering new features of it. I have the 40mm as I have a very small wrist and it looks beautiful! The only negative is the battery life. With moderate use and enabling battery saving mode at night, it needs to be charged once a day! However, it charges very quickly! I highly recommend it!
