Review on ⌚ Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm: ECG Monitor, Health & Fitness Tracker, Sleep Cycle Analysis, GPS, Fall Detection, Bluetooth - Silver (US Version) by Marc Stewart

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No GoogleAssistant, no GPay, no GoogleFit. Blocked by Samsung. Infinite notifications 1 day battery

If you like Samsung malware then by all means do it. This watch has absolutely no advantages but disadvantages: 1) The battery doesn't last a day 2) Doesn't work with Wear OS, it's recognized and the progress freezes. 3) Full malware from Samsung is required, so prepare to create Samsung accounts and deliver all your important stats to the Korean giant 4) Install the Samsung Wearable app first and make sure you have it ALL permissions granted. Otherwise it will crash and you will get persistent notifications even after you fix permissions. Then install Samsung Watch 4 Plugin app and give it all permissions again. You'll then need to install the Samsung Health app, and even that requires access to your phone. 5) After installing 3 Samsung apps and 2 Samsung accounts, now you have worse battery life on your phone. 6) Samsung Health does not sync with Google Fit. So forget about trying to get it working without installing another third-party app. 7) There is no Google Assistant on the watch 8) There is no Google Pay on the watch. Therefore, Google practically does not work on this watch. So what's the point and all the fuss?

Pros
  • Continuous test results
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
