Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like everything about this watch, both as a time piece and as a smart device, however I'm not convinced moving from version 3 of the watch is enough of an upgrade for most people to justify the cost of this watch. The look of the watch is very similar to its predecessor and its functionality is nearly identical. Battery life is sufficient, not spectacular - I had hoped for a bigger improvement. I opted for a metal band over the stock rubber band and added a bezel cover. I still think this watch is the best smart watch on the market, preferring the round traditional face over the square Apple Watch. If this is your first smart watch, go for it. If you're looking to upgrade from version 3, you might wait to see what version 5 has to offer.

The biggest hang up anyone will have right away is the battery life. While higher than other models of the Watch 4, it's a good bit smaller than the recent Watch 5 models and other comparible watches. That being said, as someone who doesn't really need more than a couple days out of the watch at a time and who mostly wanted a fancy notification machine in the Samsung ecosystem, it's been perfect for what I wanted. If you can get it at a discount and you're not too concerned about potentially losing some utility as a fitness tracker, this is definitely still a good choice.

I really expected this thing to be horrible by the reviews I read. It wasnt. I upgraded from bluetooth 42mm Galaxy Watch3 Bluetooth to 46mm Galaxy Watch4 Bluetooth. I kept the same charging schedule as I did with my 3, but I have way less battery issues than I did with ny 3. The only time I have a problem is when my bluetooth is not connected(probavly because it continuously searches for signal.) The maps feature is super helpful when I travel. My biggest complaint is setting up custom watch faces. For one, not maby to choose from.... but to sync them with Samsung Health, you have to pay for "Premium" for each watch face and getting my stats to show that I want was tricky. (Face Developers were super helpful.) The other complaint is not being to zip through my applications vy using the bezzel, only scrolls through widgets - which I could organize to be what I want, if I wasnt lazy. All in all, my biggest need is for notifications from my phone without pulling it out. Smart features are on point. Ive been too busy to start utlizing the workout features it tracks my 10-20k steps a day well though and sleep. No regrets. Also I never tried the band that came with it. Sports bands in the past irritate my skin. I buy woven bands off of Amazon.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a versatile smartwatch that earns a solid four-star rating from me. Its wide range of functions is impressive and I find myself wearing it daily. However, the battery life could use some improvement; frequent recharging is a bit of a drawback. Additionally, the process of syncing apps with the phone could be smoother. Despite these minor issues, the watch's overall performance and features are commendable. Its capabilities make it a compelling choice, and personally, I wouldn't trade it for an Apple Watch.

This is the best Samsung watch, trust me I’ve have every single Samsung watch. My only con this is the worst battery on any Samsung watch. I’ve have Samsung watch lasted me 5 days. I’m getting 1 day 1/2 with this watch. I do a lot of travel for work. If I’m only going away for 2 days I don’t bring my watch charger. If I’m going for one day I need to make sure I bring my charger with this watch just in case. If I didn’t trade my galaxy watch 3 I would of rerun it but it’s growing on me and I just charge it every night. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The addition of Wear OS has made this watch superb. Depending on whether you have always screen on you can get up to 2 days battery life. I like all the watch faces available. The physical rotating bezel makes it easy to navigate to wear you need to be . Functionality is great and looks nice. I have the GPS/WiFi version and it communicates flawlessly with my Z Fold 3 making a perfect combination. I don't miss the apple watch at all and the EKG feature which is why I purchased it works very well although not quite as well as the apple watch but very close. I just wish they would add Google assistant. Bixby is okay but would prefer Google Assistant.

Cool watch with many features. Pays to read the instructions many times to understsnd what tge wacth can do.

Love this watch, great size. Scratch resistant. Have to charge it every day but do use all the features.

Great watch, before i purchased my initial thought was always why would i need a smart watch. Get one and it takes getting used to on the wrist all the time. Ive seen some reviews where the battery will only last them a few hours and i can say ive had that happen once and i believe it was due to a setting for the pulse and stress reading to be done continuously. When i changed it, i noticed battery life to be around the 24- 36 hour range at best. Its a neat watch with cool features. Ive bought some watch bands from amazon and honestly the original bands still feel the best and dont make the watch look out of place.

Great watch! Adust some settings to save battery life and it will last 3 to 4 days. Videos available on youtube. Screen protector and Spigen rugged Armor Pro and you're set.

Love the watch. More features available than I expected and with good ease of use. The bezel and swiping give alternative methods of interaction.

Samsung has done an outstanding job integrating its unique look into Google's new WearOS 3. The device is powerful and has a fairly decent battery life, a robust set of sensors and health tracking technology, and a stylish look. There's still a few things I'm not happy with as someone who enjoyed WearOS, even with its flaws, because of the UX. There's also no Google assistant integrated, even though there is a workaround that you can get with $5 and some effort. From what I've seen, there's been several updates that have expanded access to Google's tools, and there are more on the road map. So, I believe the device holds more promise, but I can't rate the product on a possibility.

Everything everyone else has said, battery life is meh, even with every battery sucking app turned off. The charger magnet is weak as heck. Falls off if the watch moves while sitting on the desk. I threw on a ub pro gshock clone wristband and gorilla glass screen protector for on duty "violent, multi physical altercations" use. This is why i moved away from the gear s3 frontier years ago. Has held up after 2 months with these add ons, without them, i would have stuck with my gshock.

So far I'm loving this watch. Big step up from the frontier I've been wearing for years. The watch is fast and very smooth. The screen is bright and I love the always on display. The only con is the band. Come on Samsung! Why on earth would you go with such an awful band? The charging pad is pretty lame as well. No USB C. It's 2021 man, come on! The cord doesn't detach from the pad either. Super uncool and crappy. If I buy an after market charger I will go out of my way not to buy Samsung. That being said the watch it self is a beast. Looks great, feels good on the wrist. It's a winner.

Comparing to Galaxy S3 Frontier that died last summer. 1. Fits perfectly to my more than tinny arm. I can't understand people complaining about it 2. Wristband is soft, flexible, firm grip. Much improvement from sturdy plastic before. 3. Ergonomically the watch has much improved. Have less trouble hitting something ocasionally 4. Battery holds for 48 hours +. Just don't forget to go into sleep mode at nights. Downside 1. Software glitches. Had one reboot and one blackscreen 2. Seems "do not disturb" doesn't work as expected with messages still going to cell and vibrating 3. Watchfaces are not impressive as before, more trouble to search and install.

Great watch has many features and large enough to text easily on.

I bounce back and forth between Android and Apple devices. This current cycle of new phones I purchased a S22 Ultra. Coming from an Apple Watch 6 (which was also nice by the way), I am very pleased with this watch. It is not nearly as heavy and my other Apple watch. I also forgot how much I liked having a round watch over a square one. It does everything I need it to do, and price was nice (got a great deal as a Total Tech member!) It's comfortable to wear all day long and battery life last me about 3 days. Nothing to complain about here!

It's a definite upgrade from the Active 2 that I was using. It unfortunately stopped working and the screen was detaching from the body. The physical bevel it great and the overall feels is more like a luxury watch rather than just some spy kids type device. The software is quicker and way more responsive as well. Would definitely recommend. I've basically had it since it was released.

It looks almost the same as the original Galaxy watch, but feels much better on the wrist in my opinion. Only difference is the two buttons on the side function in reverse, but it should be easy to get used to after a short while. Only thing I wish was a bit better is the battery life. It seems a little shorter than my old watch, though it could be because of the sleep function/monitoring is more advanced than the old watch. Otherwise an excellent watch.

I love this galaxy watch, the turn table on the watch is really convenient and i have not had any issues with the watch.
