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 Anson Chen ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

What can be said. This is the third watch from Samsunga (Frontier3 -> Galaxy Watch 46mm -> Galaxy Watch 4 Classic) and there is a touch of disappointment that I was prepared for. 1. The clock is still damp, it is necessary to finish it programmatically. Jaggies take place, constant breaks in the connection with the phone. 2. Autonomy is of course sad, especially after the Galaxy Watch 46mm, with which I walked 4-5 days on a single charge. 3. The cherry on the cake is the strap. This is a complete fiasco. The material is hard, fastening to the watch is made in such a way that the strap does not fit the hand and constantly clings to clothes / sleeves with its protruding "ears". The width of the bracelet fastening to the watch - WHY was it necessary to change the size? Why not keep the classic "watch 42 mm - 20 mm mount, watch 46 mm - mount 22 mm"? Now I have to buy new straps and put the old ones in a box. And it’s okay if I bought them from Samsung, then their position is clear, but their straps are so miserable that I even threw out the complete one, and I don’t even think about buying. It’s good that it is possible to order absolutely any strap from third-party manufacturers, but this is a direct disadvantage of Samsung, because such a brand produced such a deformity and therefore I now have to worry about finding a strap, an additional waste of money and time, as if I bought an electronic watch in a stall from station for 150. What guided the designers remains a mystery to me. Yes, I have more complaints about the strap than about the functionality of the watch, because I understand that the functionality is a balanced work of hardware and software, and this balance is not so easy to catch. When buying this watch, I was mentally and physically prepared for difficulties and hardships, I treat it with understanding, therefore the claims are purely symbolic, but damn it, creating such a failed strap is what I least expected. Can I in good conscience recommend this generation of watches to EVERYONE? Of course not! It is better to wait for the next, finished, generation, and there already buy and enjoy.

Pros
  • Good design, nice screen
Cons
  • Well, here, like everyone else, the autonomy is very small, in general, the first watch on WearOS, because it's damp, the strap is disgusting.

With its pros. Fitness tracker, operating system, battery life Different cons: The power of the NFC emitter loses a lot to the Apple Watch. Ease of payment suffers.
