Review on π Smartwatch Samsung Galaxy Watch4 with Bluetooth and Monitor Detection by Anastazja Okhcam α
Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.
Before purchasing this watch, I had been using fitness bracelets made by a well-known Chinese company. In general, a rather interesting and functional device, but with low autonomy and the absence of a number of familiar functions that are either completely absent or require a fairly significant set of undocumented actions for activation; for a simple user who is not familiar with IT, these steps may seem insurmountable. In addition, the device does not offer much in the way of customization options. It is important to keep in mind that in order to use the watch normally, a Samsung phone is required. A significant portion of the watch's functionality is incompatible with phones made by other manufacturers. You eventually get used to using only the touch screen, but the thought that it would be more convenient with the bezel still visits your mind from time to time. This is because the interface is quite strongly tied to the bezel, which is only on the Classic model. While making a purchase, it is vitally important to keep all of this in mind.
- WearOS is essentially Android, which means that it allows you to put a lot of different things on your watch. For instance, you can pay with MirPay if you want to, but only if you have the necessary skills to install it on your watch. It does a good job of tracking workouts and will automatically begin them for you if you forget to do so manually. All things considered, it's a very nice piece of equipment. I was particularly impressed with the indicators in the pool; they count the number of laps (distances) very clearly, which is helpful when you swim for at least one kilometer. I found the indicators to be particularly helpful. You can answer incoming calls and messages, and everything else here is pretty standard. In general, everything is pretty standard. There is no grain to be seen, there are no issues in the dark (they do not blind), and there are no issues when viewed in direct sunlight. The display is of very high quality (very contrast). There have been no comments regarding the quality of the materials, and the watch fits snugly on the wearer's wrist (again, compared to bracelets from a well-known manufacturer - there were occasional irritations on the arm). I am also satisfied with wireless charging, including charging from the phone itself; I make frequent use of this feature.
- The battery is the most significant source of disappointment. The fact that you have to pay a price to combine utility and autonomy is especially obvious after basslets. Charging it overnight like a phone would be ideal, but then there wouldn't be any way to regulate your sleep schedule. Exit: charging overnight after one, with a portion of the time spent in the mode that saves power. Maybe you could keep the device in a mode that saves energy permanently; however, if you do that, what's the point of having all of these bells and whistles? Because the MIR card cannot be used with SamsumgPay (even though it can be used without issue on the phone), you will need to start MirPay on your watch by dancing while playing a tambourine. But what is most unexpected is that functionality that has been widely promoted, such as measuring pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG), does not work in the 2022. No, this is not treated, but the ways that are used are not entirely within the law. It is not clear what prohibited Samsung from making this functionality open to the public. The same issue occurs with the assistant: Bixby is not functional in the year 2022, and it is not yet possible to install Google Assistant in its place; consequently, voice contact with the clock will not be possible, just like it is not functional on the same Apple product. It's the insignificant things, like this, that make me feel extremely down:(
