Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Smart Watch, Health Monitoring, Fitness Tracker, Long Lasting Battery, Bluetooth, 40mm, Silver (UK Version)

Product Information

One important thing to note is the limited compatibility of some fitness features. The ECG and blood pressure monitoring tools are only available when you connect the Galaxy Watch 4 to a Samsung smartphone. How about those new body composition features? I’m not sure they’d be enough for me to upgrade from the Galaxy Watch 3 but, aside from weight, which you’ll need to add manually, the Galaxy Watch 4 offers most of the insights you’d get from smart scales such as the Garmin Index S2 – and it logged impressively similar measurements too. I would always take such readings with a pinch of salt, but if you want to keep an eye on general trends in your body fat and water composition, it’s certainly a handy addition. It's also worth noting that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 will probably land in or around August 2022, so you might want to consider waiting for that.

Users should measure their blood pressure when at rest, as they would do with a traditional cuff, and refrain from measuring when they are working out, smoking, or drinking.Supported watches: Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch3, Galaxy Watch Active2 and later released Galaxy Watch and Active models (excluding Galaxy Fit) There’s 16GB of storage on both models of the Galaxy Watch 4. We found that about 8GB of this was taken up with the OS and preloaded apps, which leaves you with the same again for your own apps and music. Battery time is based on our own laboratory measurements, and may vary depending on factors such as device settings, usage patterns and operating conditions. The Galaxy Watch 4 is also Samsung’s only smartwatch in recent years that doesn’t work with iPhones at all. Apple itself is notoriously restrictive but with Samsung moving to Google’s Wear OS, you’d hope it would become more accessible, not less. For those looking for a slimmer design, the Galaxy Watch 4 offers that, with two buttons on the right-hand edge and little else to detract from its sleek looks. It comes in two models, one with a 40mm watch face and another with a 44mm body.

Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed. The heart rate monitor proved accurate, with our results tallying with measurements taken using other devices. The heart rate monitor worked best within Samsung’s own apps, but you can also apply these features to third-party Wear OS tools like Strava and Nike Running Club.For optimal reading accuracy, your Galaxy Watch4 needs to be snugly fastened to your wrist. When you are not conducting readings, you may loosen the band to provide breathing room. On balance, your watch’s band should not be fastened too tight or loose: make sure that it feels comfortable around your wrist. If you experience redness, itchiness, or other irritation, remove your Galaxy Watch4 and consult a medical provider prior to continued use. Such reaction may result due to allergies, wearing for prolonged periods, usage habits such as wearing it too tight, or exposure to sweat or other irritants.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a slimline smartwatch with a design that sits comfortably on your wrist. If you’re looking for something a touch chunkier, or you’d like a rotating bezel, you should opt for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. We were sent a Bluetooth-only 46mm Watch 4 Classic for review, but whichever variant you choose, the Galaxy Watch 4 will come with the same Exynos W920 chip inside. Samsung claims this delivers a 20% boost in CPU processing speeds along with graphics rendering that’s a whopping ten times faster than the older Exynos 9110. The default setting for snoring detection is off. Users can turn the setting on through their smartphone at anytime using the Samsung Health App 6.18 version or above.

All of this leaves the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in a rather peculiar position, which is a shame for a device that offers such excellent performance in many respects. If you’re a loyal Samsung customer who always has a Samsung smartphone, there’s no doubt this is the best smartwatch you can buy. Nothing else (ignoring the Apple Watch) comes close. Device activation is only available after connecting to a smartphone that supports Google Mobile Services(GMS). Please refer to your device manufacturer to find out whether your smartphone supports Google Mobile Services(GMS). Both models are made of aluminum. The dimensions of the 40mm model are 40.4 x 39.3 x 9.8mm with a weight of 25.9g, while the 44mm is 44.4 x 43.3 x 9.8mm and weighs 30.3g.
