Whether you choose the bigger or smaller device, the Samsung Galaxy Watch is a sturdy and stylish smartwatch with plenty of power and a truly lovely user interface thanks to its rotating bezel and Tizen OS. The biggest decision you’ll have to make will likely be whether you go for the 42mm or 46mm models. Although it doesn’t seem like there’s much in it, wearing a device that’s a little too bulky or heavy for you could mean the difference between whether it’s worn 24/7 or shoved in a drawer and never looked at again. Of course this will be all down to personal preference, but although we think the 42mm model is likely to suit most wrists, you will need to make a trade off for battery life, as well as a bigger screen. Those with an iOS device might be swayed by the watch’s circular design and great-looking screen, but if you’re an Apple fan it might be worth opting for an Apple Watch instead given you’re likely to have less functionality without a Galaxy phone for your new Galaxy Watch to play nice with.
