Review on πŸ’ͺ Experience Advanced Health and Fitness Tracking with Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 42mm Smartwatch - GPS, ECG Monitor, Sleep Cycles, Fall Detection, and Bluetooth - Black US Version by Bali Bali ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

The revised evaluation was finished on November 20th, 2022. After being in operation for two months, the general sentiment is pretty positive, despite the fact that there are a few items that are troublesome. Tizen provided a more interesting and interactive experience with its user interface. The autonomy of two days is acceptable to me; but, if you actively train in them, they will only live for approximately one day and ten hours after that before passing away. The precision of both the tonometer and the pedometer, as well as the general debugging activity, has fulfilled my expectations. There is not a great lot of difference between bioimpedance and Xiaomi floor scales; nonetheless, I have met somebody for whom it does not work well; this is because it is extremely particular. Given that the technique in question is not designed to be used with watches, I would not place a great deal of stock in the precision of the bioimpedance measurements that are supplied by timepieces. The accuracy of the electrocardiogram is beyond my scope of expertise. In the distant past, a very, very long time ago, I was the proud owner of a Gear Fit 2 bracelet. It was one of my favorites, and it served me well up until 2022, when I accidentally killed it by setting it on fire while trying to charge it because the charging block was cracked. After that, it didn't do me much good. The fact that I have not had any problems with them at all for almost five years does not mean that this has always been the case; it took only six months after they were released for them to reach completeness. I have high hopes that this watch will also be done with ates because, as is the case with all of their machinery, after approximately five to seven months of use, everything begins to function well. This gives me reason to believe that this watch will also be completed with ates. Should you go ahead and complete the transaction anyway? Certainly not everyone. This watch features a wide variety of functions, pretty good performance, protection from water, precise tracking of training and activity, an easy-to-use interface, and an attractive design. Those that use Samsung smartphones will have access to the full capabilities of their devices, whilst others who don't will need to think more critically about the situation. As I've had watches from a number of different brands, I can say with complete certainty that the comprehensive functionality of this watch not only meets but even beyond my expectations in this regard. If you don't use a phone that was produced by the same business that built your watch, you won't be able to access all of the features that it has to offer. Or, alternatively, the functioning of your phone will be restricted in some way. My opinion is that picking out a piece of wearable technology is a very personal choice, and in this instance, the solution that works well for one person might not be the most suitable alternative for another. When making a purchase, it is highly recommended that you give some consideration to the specifics of what it is that you require, which functions are the most important, and so on. In point of fact, even in terms of autonomy, someone like myself will be satisfied with two days of work, whereas persons who go hiking and the like will find that such schedules are not at all ideal for their activities.

Pros
  • 1. A design that is not only easy to understand but also pleasing to the eye and comfortable to hold. 2. Even when directly exposed to sunlight, the display remains readable due to its high level of brightness. 3. An outstanding microphone as well as a speaker. 4. an extremely high number of sensors, an accurate heart rate monitor, and in my case, an accurate measurement of both blood pressure and bioimpedance, which even surprised me. All of these features were included in the device. Accurate tracking of both your workout and where you are. 5. When it comes to ergonomics and the user interface, both in the broad meaning of the word, there are interesting elements, as well as wide customization thanks, in many ways, to One UI. The reactivity of the user interface is also something to take into consideration. 6. The presence of a bezel makes the operation of the watch as well as the general contact with the person who is wearing it a great deal less complicated. 7. Whether or whether it is possible to replace the strap in question 8. There is no possible way to overstate how beneficial it is to have a remote connection to the phone. 9. Configurable options for monitoring and responding to notifications 10. The watch comes outfitted with a number of extremely cutting-edge functions, one of which being the ability to customize itself to the person who is wearing it in certain circumstances. For instance, the activation of the sleep mode on your smartwatch can be synchronized with the activation of the sleep mode on your phone; however, the do not disturb mode will work according to a different scenario and vice versa. In the event that you do not wish to make use of the mode synchronization with your mobile device, you have the option to disable this feature. Usage scenario: Always On Display turned off, Auto-brightness turned off (brightness about 35%, see screenshots), wake-up by tap and turn of the ring turned off, reaction only to raising a hand, snoring detection turned on, sounds turned on, vibration long and long, GPS turned on, but NFC and Samsung Pay turned off. Even though notifications are turned off, you should still make sure the screen is active because notifications will only surface when the phone is not being used. During the course of the two days of training, each day began with around sixty minutes of walking while tracking progress with a GPS device, and then was followed by thirty minutes of cycling.
Cons
  • 1. Even when it is not tightened, a revolting complete strap digs into your hand. This can happen when you sleep in your watch, for example. The palm of his hand is covered in sweat and dripping. In addition to this, the hand under the clock perspires and causes a great deal of discomfort while it is in this position. 2. It is unfortunate that there is not yet an electronic version of the SIM card because having one would be quite useful, particularly for establishing a connection to a smartphone from a distance. 3. Wear OS - yes, the system is smart, the interface is responsive, and so on and so forth - but Tizen worked more stable, was run in, and autonomy was significantly better, work from a single charge. Tizen also worked longer on a single charge. This is a whole different matter altogether. It is especially aggravating when the interface stops responding to the bezel; however, as soon as the screen is turned off and on again, everything begins functioning normally again. Additionally, there are lags and glitches. 4. You can refer to it as autonomy if you like, but I'll call it a battery. In my specific case, following the most recent meal (10/28/21), there was some improvement, but it was still insufficient. The operational time increased from one and a half days to two days and five hours, but this is not enough to beat the previous records on Tizen, so this attempt was unsuccessful. The operational time increased from one and a half days to two days and five hours. 5. It is necessary to do research into the degree of accuracy provided by the pulse oximeter. My oxygen saturation level rarely goes any higher than 98%, despite the fact that I don't smoke, don't get sick, or anything else of the sort. In addition, the medical equipment at the doctor's office typically displays readings between 99 and 100% of the capacity. Drawdowns of up to 85% are ridiculous; if anything, I ought to be sinking under the pressure of the weight of such indicators. That the sensor is inaccurate is the primary and most significant finding in our investigation. 6. Long charge. The watch can be fully charged in approximately two hours' time. Also, when it is charging, the display will occasionally turn on (GLUCK), which causes the charging time to be extended even though it should only take approximately one hour and forty minutes total. 7. Extreme warmth, the temperature was quite uncomfortable while being charged, and I also see a high temperature when the device is being charged; I do not believe that this is a good thing, and I believe that they should be charged while the device is turned off. 8. After one month of use, the bezel on my case proved to be unreliable and became loose. This happened after the case was dropped. After using it for two months, there were some questions regarding where it should be placed; as a result, I will carry it in to have it fixed. 9. Because the watch doesn't retain a record of any of the health indicators in any form, you have to check everything on your phone instead, which is a very aggravating and inconvenient issue. 10. Because I do not make use of payments, there is not enough button customization that is more flexible. In addition, it would be more convenient for me to reassign a long button hold if that option were available.
