The Samsung Galaxy Watch was released in 2018 with positive reception from reviewers and users alike. Features like the innovative rotating bezel, strong hardware and software capabilities, and premium design were often talking points for praise. But how does it stack up to the competition now - is it still worth it in 2020? Find out in this review!

Great review of a great watch. Glad I popped in to see what others thought of it before I make my purchase.

The battery life is one of the main reasons I am buying this one over watch 3. I'm young so I don't care for ecg and blood oxygen levels. I would've liked the newer design on my wrist but whats the point if it spends 2 hours everyday on the charger. I hate checking battery percentages and would like not to worry for at least 2 days if the charge is going to run out

Great overview. I've had mine (Silver, 46mm, LTE) since release, worn every day. I just recently turned on 'Watch Face Always On'. I charge every night and don't use the sleep tracking so it easily lasts all day. I'm pretty happy with it. I do manually check for software updates every week or so. They've been fewer lately.

Nice! How well does the Galaxy Watch function standalone with LTE? Has LTE been useful for you?

I got the 46mm LTE version last year and i think its quite a good watch i like the fact that i can leave my phone at home and just use my watch when I’m out on my bike as it’s difficult carrying my phone whilst out on the road so just using my watch is great i use it quite a lot for tracking my ride when i am out on my road bike so that i can upload the data and share it with friends

Great review! I want to know is there any update with VO2max and ECG functions for Galaxy watch? As far as I know Samsung only release them to Galaxy Watch Active 2...

@KevinShroff 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes, unfortunately those features came with the GWA2 and onwards - I'm unsure if the HR sensor itself on the GW is incapable of measuring VO2Max and ECG or if its just a software feature they haven't brought to the GW

I'm pretty sure this is very similar. It has the curved point where the pins are so there isn't a gap from the watch to the band. www.amazon.com/dp/B0721W3MJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_oMS2Fb724P0KS

@AlexTM44 2 жыл бұрын

2022 and I'm thinking of getting one of these just because of how cool it looks, plus I have a Ticwatch pro and Google assistant is good but I hardly use it on the watch, and I got so accustomed of using Bixby, and knowing that this watch also have Bixby makes it even better. The newer models of Samsung watches doesn't look nearly as good as the this watch

Unfortunately, this watch does not allow for listening to podcasts offline without complicated workarounds (not sure whether it is possible with a premium Spotify account though). This could be a dealbreaker for me, since this would mean I would have to carry my phone around with me.

Have you tried turning off Battery Optimization (might be named something else on your specific phone) for the Galaxy Wearable app and all other related Samsung services apps on your phone? That can break notifications being sent through when these apps aren't allowed to operate in the background

I recently won one of these off eBay I'm still waiting on, also a Fitbit Versa Special edition. I've been using Android Wear watches for years now starting with the LG G watch now on a TicWatch Pro. Speaking directly about the Ticwatch It's just to slow and clunky and if I make it do much of anything I can kiss getting 2 days of battery life goodbye... Since Google purchased Fitbit & Android Wear is likely finally dead now with zero hope of it getting revived... I'm giving up on the platform as much as I wanted to keep supporting it. (despite it's flaws) I suspect I'll like the Galaxy Watch better, looks more premium, I like the rotating bezel & what I seen looks good! But Fitbit puts me in the same ecosystem as my wife & 3 of my friends. & even mother haha. I got both cheap enough that I am confident I can resell them for small profit or break even worse case scenario. But whatever one I like most will be kept. All I want from a smart watch at the core of things is to see and maybe reply to texts, see the time, calendar notifications & other apps, heart rate monitor & other fitness & sleep data, & battery life & speed!
