Pros
- Build quality. Appearance. Number of sensors.
Cons
- Battery. The number of dials. Software dampness.
Pros
- Appearance and quality. Tons of sensors and features.
Cons
- Some of the declared possibilities remain purely theoretical, since they also need a galaxy smartphone (ECG and blood pressure). I have been using it since February 2022, and from the very beginning AOD on them is unfinished, and now, after several software ates that have been released, it is unfinished. With all additional methods of unlocking the screen turned off and if you do not unlock the screen with the button, it completely goes out after a while, sometimes half an hour, sometimes an hour, randomly in general, and this is with AOD active! All features that block AOD work are disabled. AOD is a function that should keep the screen always on, to show the time, for example, like mine. But no, it goes out, it's terribly annoying. I glanced at the clock, time to look, and there is a black void, you reach out with your second hand, unlock it with the button to see the time. What's on? The main functionality of the clock is a constant display of time, buggy, and do not fix it.
Pros
- All the latest in them
Cons
- They are not here
Pros
- Everything was fine until the February 9, 2022 ate.
Cons
- Samsung's policy for testing software ates.
Pros
- Not yet known.
Cons
- Not yet known.
Pros
- Appearance, A bunch of dials, if you tinker all the main chips will work on any android. I have enough for 1-2 days. The heart rate sensor is very accurate, I'm just shocked by this (compared with a chest strap), for sports and jogging fans it's a cool watch.
Cons
- Doesn't work with apple. You have to surf the internet to set everything up.
Pros
- Slightly better than watch 3. Additional functionality in terms of measuring body characteristics.
Cons
- Strap fit with protruding lugs. Few applications. Features are more powerful, but some tasks are slower than on watch 3 - loading takes 4 times longer, the smoothness of the interface suffers the same. Problems with loading basic faces - just errors or freezes, then loading in the background, it's not clear what's wrong. Inability to make a backup - connection errors to Samsung cloud, while watch 3 backup works When you try to edit the notification parameters, after a few seconds it throws wear into the main menu, setting is not possible There was one day when steps were not counted There were 2 days when the connection to the smartphone constantly fell off There are problems - either in the hardware, or in the software of the device, or in the synchronization plugin.
Pros
- It looks badly similar visually to the old Tizen interface, which somewhat simplifies the migration to the new watch.
Cons
- The strap attachment has become narrower, the straps from Frontier will not fit. For ECG and pressure measurement to work, the Samsung health monitor (SHM) application is required. If the phone is not Samsung - this is a problem. Since the SHM app is not on Google Play. It is available only in the company store, which does not work on non-Samsung smartphones. Yes, you can spend time and make it work, but this is not what you plan to do when you get the "crown of technology". It is written in footnotes, but who reads them. The bezel does not work in many applications, even in built-in ones. The UI in many built-in applications is terrible - somewhere there are abbreviations, so that there would be no scrolling, somewhere on the contrary, very long sentences with a scroll. Stock dials - no matter how you offend anyone, this is very "modern art", you won't look without tears. Memory is cheap to the point of impossibility. What prevented me from putting at least 64GB - so that I could throw music there, since there is no eSIM. There is no need for fast memory, if you're really too lazy, microSD would be installed. While setting up after unpacking - the battery went from 60% to 15. This is in about 4 hours. Compared to the clock on Tizen, there was an application with a store where you could normally select watch faces. Since now they are all in googleplay - it is inconvenient to search, it is inconvenient to watch. So more or less an option is Facer or WatchFaceApp, but they have problems with displaying the current battery status. Charging tablet - I liked the old one more - like a chair, it was more convenient, this watch can slip off and stop charging. And it, unlike the previous ones, is one-piece, if the cable is damaged, there can be difficulties. The heart rate monitor in training lives its own life. It may stop reading, it may suddenly start. Implementing a notification in the program that the pulse is not being read would seem to be quite simple.
Pros
- It looks like an ordinary watch, looks appropriate with a suit or jeans. The watch is based on an ated hardware platform: a powerful processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, a high-resolution screen (450x450, 330 PPI). Steel housing, waterproof (IP68), ruggedized (MIL-STD-810G). A unique set of sensors: heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, ECG, body composition measurement (% fat, muscle, water, etc.), stress level, sleep monitoring and snoring tracking. No other watch on the market seems to have such a set. The pulse began to be determined much better than on previous versions of the watch. The body composition measurements (when it is measured - see below) are very close to the body composition indicators obtained on different models of "smart" scales that my friends have (compared with Tanita, Picooc and old Withings / Nokia models). A large number of sports modes and programs. Support for Samsung Pay and Google Pay (you need to install Google Pay yourself).
Cons
- Raw clock software. The “underdoneness” of the firmware is visible to the naked eye. This is noticeable both by not very well-designed interfaces, and by periodically occurring glitches out of the blue, and by incompatibility with the clock of the vast majority of software in the Play Market. Poorly thought-out system for installing ates. Part of the applications / watch faces are ated through the Play Market, regular Samsung applications are ated through the Settings. Why so difficult? If on the previous generation of watches you had accumulated a baggage of purchased dials, you can say goodbye to them - they remained on Tizen. Under Wear OS, the collection will have to be collected / bought again. There are still very few watch faces in the Play Market that are fully compatible with watches. You have to literally look for what you like and works correctly. If you have a non-Samsung phone, be sure to check its compatibility with your watch before buying. It may turn out that this very compatibility will not exist (for example, watches do not work with Huawei and Honor), or some of the functions will not be available out of the box (pressure measurement only works with Samsung watches). The width of the strap is now 20 mm (previously it was 22 mm). My old very comfortable and rather expensive strap does not fit. In general, the design of the standard strap is such that the watch rises on a narrow wrist, and the quality of measuring the same pulse is rapidly declining. Speaking of measurements. In my case, blood pressure is measured incorrectly. Calibration doesn't help. I really hope that these are software glitches, because on the old watch the quality of measurements was at its best. Also, it has not yet been possible to make friends with the function of measuring body composition. Sometimes (rarely) the watch just takes a measurement, and sometimes (often) no measurement takes place, the watch gives the message “failed to measure body composition” and recommendations to move the watch away from the wrist. I do everything according to the instructions, but the result is unpredictable.
