The Galaxy Watch 4 is finally here, acting less as an update to last year’s Samsung wearable and more as the first in a long line of next-generation smartwatches. Very few tech products this year have garnered quite the same level of anticipation as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

Wear OS at its finest, The digital bezel works like a charm, Flat, minimalist design is stunning, Gorgeous collection of original watch faces, If you want the best Apple Watch alternative: Samsung and Google have knocked it out of the park with the Galaxy Watch 4, setting a new bar for Android...

Still a lot of features yet to come, Doesn’t work with iPhone, Bixby is a mess, If you’re set with Apple: The Galaxy Watch 4 has zero functionality with Apple’s ecosystem, so if you’re an iPhone user then it’s better to steer clear.

Advanced processor. Third-party app ecosystem seems promising. Gives more customizability to Android users.

Battery life is a little disappointing. Body composition feature is tricky. Really, no Google Assistant? Drops iOS compatibility.

“The Galaxy Watch 4 has great health and fitness-tracking features in a comfortable build designed for smaller wrists.”

There's no doubting that the Galaxy Watch 4 is another solid smartwatch from Samsung. It's slick, looks good and performs well in most departments. This is supposed to be a Samsung smartwatch, with Google software flowing through it, but right now it feels very familiar.

Nice, minimalist design, Good price, Feature packed, Slick performance

It’s a good question to ask. For me, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is closer to the Apple Watch though it’s not there yet. But I am fine with it because the Watch 4 is anyway not compatible with the iPhone.

Really good, can easily receive and make calls. Can read incoming messages and emails and reply using surprisingly accurate voice-to-text. Waterproof so don't need to take it off to shower. Finally a useful smart watch, will be better when Google Assistant app comes

A little disappointing, app store and app installation very bad

If we’re honest, Android has never had a great smartwatch option to rival the Apple Watch. In a bid to change that, Samsung and Google partnered up to create Wear OS 4 and, with it, the Galaxy Watch 4. And, in a few words? It’s a beautiful Frankenstein monster. And, the best Wear OS watch yet.

The best Wear OS watch yet, Wear OS apps!, Runs super smooth

Samsung apps required for non-Samsung phones, Not all features work on non-Samsung phones, Bixby only

Only nitpicks are: Battery could be a little better (but isnt too bad) No Google Assistant (yet.. 2021/10) No way to proactively send FB/WhatsApp messages tho replies are available (yet.. 2021/10) But what the watch does do it does very well :)
