ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
This is a story of two teams joining forces to beat a bigger team which individually, they were not going to beat anytime soon. But they are still trying to figure out who plays which roll and with this watch, each is still sort of being a ball hog. These are just growing pains though and I think this is a fantastic combination of Google’s foundation and network, combined with Samsung’s features and hardware
$349 - $379 for different sizes
PHYSICAL DESIGN
Amazing aesthetic that perfectly masks the bezels with mechanical ones
Large colorful display - 1.4” Super AMOLED 450x450px
Slightly larger than Watch4 - at 46mm with 20mm strap
Battery lasts almost two days
5ATM/IP68 water resistance
Default watch strap is odd for small wrists
Also, why would this ship with a silicone strap??? Should be leather default
AOD
Haptics feel nice
MIC & SPEAKER TEST
INTERNALS
Wifi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC for Samsung Pay
1.5GB RAM
16GB storage
INTERFACE
WearOS Powered by Samsung?
Tizen and WearOS together
* INTERFACE TOUR
Your old apps and watch faces will not transfer
Switch back/between apps (or double press top button to toggle)
Customize buttons however you like!
Now you can access Google apps like Fit, Pay, Keep, Maps, YT, Messages
Currently Bixby and Samsung Pay
Easily install apps directly from your phone
“Google Assistant Coming Soon” - don’t bank on it
Gestures: shake twice to answer a call, rotate twice to decline
Music controls auto open just like WearOS did
Offline Spotify!
Bedtime mode and underwater mode
Reply to notifications with keyboard, speech, or handwriting
BIXBY TEST
HEALTH TRACKING AND ACCURACY
Sleep tracking
HR
GPS
Does not show a start for the first 100 yards - ½ mile but the distance is typically reasonably accurate. Certainly not leading the pack though
Plenty of wandering off the trail
Overall disappointing maps. Works well enough, but not reliable for races
Advanced running metrics
Asymmetry, contact time, flight time, regularity, etc.
Blood oxygen
Stress
Three heart rings - Steps, calories, and active minutes
Blood pressure and ECG
Syncs with a phone to track snoring?
Body composition measurement “98% correlation with DXA measurements”
False! Mine ranged from 13% to about 18% body fat - also skeletal muscle...
CONS:
* Cannot handle WAV audio files
* Silicone strap?
* Body composition is not accurate (my body fat ranged from 13% to 18% and it said I have too much muscle)
* Body composition measurement is awkward when worn on your right wrist
* Watch was snappy, but once I restarted it, it became EXTREMELY laggy and remained laggy until about 5 minutes after turning it on. Definitely not free of bugs
The big change is that you now have joined forces - Samsung and Google for a better experience, but they are still trying to figure out how to play on the same team

Great review! I have just ordered one and intended to order the black version, but somehow accidentally ordered the silver one- which is one reason I clicked on your review. I'm glad I did because it's the best review so far. I think I've decided to stick with the stainless finish rather than hassling with a return, and I can see that it looks great. Just had to have a triple bypass and I started shopping for an android watch to pair with my Note 10+... and then noticed that the 4 classic was out, so my search quickly ended right there lol. Subscribed.

Onto body composition stuff, it's best to measure it at the same time of day, before eating something. When you eat/drink, obviously more stuff comes into your body and while actual body composition will not change, the stuff the watch can measure will actually change. Try measuring it in the morning before doing anything - you should be able to get consistent results, which are the closest to actual reality.

I'd have to disagree. I have visible abs, and should be in the 12-15% body fat range. Regardless of many variables that I've tried (different times of day, different levels of water/food intake, and from waking up empty stomach at lowest weight, etc) the lowest I've ever seen this watch measure me was at 21% body fat. So for someone like me who would prefer a more accurate reading, this watch failed. So I really wouldn't rely on this being close to actual reality.

@@haviper At this point, I haven't decided if I'm keeping the watch. I'm 50/50 while I still have my return window, within the week. But it's still a few weeks before I'm done with my cut, so if I've decided to keep the watch by then, I'll consider doing a more precise measurement. There's no doubt this watch, and similar techs, aren't suited for my purposes. It's just the matter of by how much they're off, and whether that truly matters to the majority of the people using it.

I've experienced the same laggy start up on the watch 3. Only seems to happen at start up and if left like you said it'll go back to it normal snappiness. Best I could work out is on start up all the apps are loading and updating at the same time, something that the watch isn't optimised for, a lot of "always running" apps are put to sleep between uses to minimise the impact on the watch. On start up the watch just has to deal with all, tbh it's a small price to pay for something that's optimised really well 99.99% of the time and that will eventually go as hardware overtakes software

Thanks for the review. Just cancelled my order because these are the same type of issues I am having with my 2018 galaxy watch since day one. Sleep recorded, footsteps counted when I am just sitting and inaccurate GPS tracking were always an issue. After all the updates nothing has ever been fixed. With Samsungs track record and the issues you brought up I doubt they will ever fix anything. I thought things were going to be better having google wear OS in the mix but I realized what the main problem is, the preloaded samsung apps are dominant and they make it a hassle to put certain google apps on and use them. It’s hard to look at the Galaxy Watch 4 as anything other than a compromise of a device compared to a true Google OS watch. It’s a flagship Wear OS 3 watch that runs Samsung’s UI on top, won’t ship with Google Assistant, and comes packed with default apps that compete with Google’s own services. Waiting for a Pixel Watch🤞🏻.

Got mine on Friday and my Z Fold 3 on Wednesday. I will miss MST on both the phone and watch. Not all retailers support NFC and I'll have my Note20 Ultra until I have to trade it in and then my Note10+ 5G for MST support. I also kind of hate that for all the years Samsung has been making watches, they suddenly changed the home and back button placements. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time, but I started with the Gear S3 Classic, then Watch Active 2, then Watch 3, so it'll definitely be an adjustment. Other than these, I really really do love Samsung Watches!

re: body composition, you're supposed to measure that at the same time every day, our body composition does indeed change wildly when using any method that depends on electrical currents running through one's body. Even formal large machines will do the same if using this method. That's why it's recommended to always measure when you wake up or always measure when you go to bed. The measurement is indeed accurate.

Thank you for your review, Mike. Question: According to gsmarena, GW Active 2 (44mm model) has 360x360 pixes and 364 ppi density. GW 4 on the other hand (44mm model), has only 321 ppi density even though it has 450 x 450 pixels. How can that be the case?

Thanks for the review. I've just got mine, there's a setting for auto detect workouts which seems to have been enabled by default. However, it doesn't seems to be working when I do walk or jog. Just wondering if you know the problem might be? Thanks

Great review as always Mike, thanks for your effort and detail! Couple questions though: 1. I heard the battery life on the watch 4 was relatively short compared to past generations and other brands. I'm surprised you didn't mention it but was your experience with the battery life and reguarl use? 2. I'm definitely interested in the classic version, but the "active version" has gotten zero love or attention on YT. Do you like the design of it compared to the classic does the touch bezel work as well as the physical one on the classic? Would appreciate your thoughts on this as well thanks!

Battery life isn't that good. It drains pretty fast when you're not using the watch. I have to charge mine everyday. I recommend turning the watch off when not using to save battery. It charges pretty quick with the charger they included. I recommend having an outlet with USB ports for charging.

Really enjoyable video to watch. I hope you do more videos on Wear OS 3 in the future. In the review I think you could’ve shown the Google Apps running on there and you didn’t mention YT music at all. Also, why did you take the BIA measurements whilst standing??
@MikeOBrienMedia

I absolutely will create more WearOS 3 videos soon! It was not specified whether I should stand or sit, and perhaps it makes no difference, but for the purpose of a clean and consistent experiment, I stood for each test.

But what about calories counting in some Certain workouts like gym exercises? The problem is that they are pre-programmed in all galaxy devices. Some workouts will just take into account your Samsung Health Profile info (weight, age etc.) and Basal Metabolic Rate but not your oxygen level, gyroscope data or even heart rate. It is very interesting whether something has changed with the transition to the wear os.

Thanks Mike for your usual informative review. As you alluded to, health tracking on a smartwatch is more about getting generalized baselines and comparisons over time. I've been using the Garmin Venu for a while now, but will be using a Watch4 as my daily driver over the next months. Interested to see how the Watch4 performs over the longer term and whether Samsung will honor the promise to make Google Assistant an alternative to Bixby on the platform.
