A bad product, not worth the money.

After using the first Galaxy Watch for a while, I decided to upgrade to the newest model. There are actually a lot more programs for wearos, but there aren't any essential partners for Whatsapp or Telegram (although there seems to be a viber available, but I haven't tested it). The watch is immediately less convenient than when using Taizen. This is due to the absence of certain convenient widgets (tiles for wearos), such as a calendar sheet for a month. Look for an alternative in the market that you can download without seeing what it is beforehand, as the Samsung calendar on Wear OS was not designed to be a widget for whatever reason. After ten seconds, the clock displays the message "charging paused;" of course, this is a filthy lie because the clock wouldn't charge when it was being charged in the original version. At the very least, they agreed that it came from an external battery produced by Samsung (which featured a wireless platform). Because the charging magnet is so weak, the watch will detach from the pad if it is placed in the bag. Strap fastening 20mm (collect again as all large watches use 22mm). The original strap is nothing like that, and it is not as rough as the strap that comes with some Mi Bands; yet, the material of the strap that came with the first edition of the Galaxy was nicer to the touch and more elastic. In addition, the horns that are located at the attachment point of the original strap prevent it from rotating and fitting to a hand that does not have a tubercle. The process of installing programs obtained from the Google Play market is cumbersome. Even after switching from the selection for wearos, you still need to remember to switch the device to the watch. If you don't, it will put the phone version in its place. When I select "install," a message appears stating that the application will be installed at a later time. It is unclear whether the application is downloading at this time or whether it is waiting for approval from the CIA or the FSB; but, at some point it will be installed. The circular controls have been replaced with normal grids: 1. I preferred the application menu to be in the shape of a circle because it was easier to fit under the bezel. The new one feels better when you're holding it beneath your finger. It is not apparent why there was no space for decorating the main menu on a watch that has gigabytes of Memory and ROM, a huge operating system, a multi-core processor, and a load of Google services built in. 2. By entering a PIN, it would be possible to make the 3x4 grid larger, and the older round version is easier to hit even with just a finger. It is inconvenient that after entering the numbers you are required to click the OK button. Not at all should we change the previous versions!

Pros
  • More comfortable to hold than the earlier iteration (there is matte plastic on the wall) Samsung pay works (also worked on Taizen) How has the functionality of the headset been (!) so far? (Tizen also worked well for the first year, then it became stupid and in 2/3 cases did not turn on the microphone with the speaker) The watch eventually established a wireless connection with the phone (but I was unable to do so on Taizen).
Cons
  • It is not possible for the user to benefit from using wearos (in its current iteration) in comparison to using tizen because there was very little software, there was very little, but something else. The preloaded calendar has become even less reliable. There are fewer widgets and tiles that are useful. The life time is not the worst (2 days with a drop in time after the first full charge), but it is significantly worse than the original model of the watch. The most infuriating aspect is that it is incompatible with chargers made by third parties, and it is even incompatible with the terrible charger that came with the original Galaxy Watch. In comparison to earlier iterations, each and every alteration that was made to the strap was a step in the wrong direction. When it comes to application installation, the Play market is inferior to Samsung's Galaxy Store (which, however, was dumb on my Taizen and after switching to the 5th version, it stopped displaying key applications) They did not remove the unnecessary animation or delay that was there before showing the information that was associated with the notification. 1-2 seconds should elapse between the display of a notification's push title and the notification's body text. Smart watches marinate the user, whereas Honor and Mi bands display information immediately.
