Due to the fact that only Samsung watches used Tizen, the range of third party apps available for download were very limited.

Read more ting system, which was a well sorted, relatively bug free system. The Galaxy Watch 3 was using Samsung's Tizen opera. This can be organised through Optus & Telstra by activating 'Number Sharing'. This can be handy when you are out & about & don't want to carry your phone.
#GALAXY WATCH 4 WIFI VS BLUETOOTH UPDATE#
So I was happy to update from my 'old' Galaxy watch 3 LTE, at no cost! The LTE versions (as against the BT bluetooth versions) of these watches allow you to receive & make calls, without needing the phone nearby. When I updated my smart phone to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, Optus were offering the new Galaxy Watch 4 44mm LTE as a bonus gift. Purchased in September 2021 at Samsung Online store. Forget about using the watch GPS in standalone mode, it does not offer assisted gps (fast acquisition) meaning it typically takes over 5 minutes to work out where you are.

Surprisingly the ecg does appear to work - but a word of warning - these measurements are only available if the watch is connected to a samsung phone (not an android phone only work with phones offered by samsung)ĭetection of workouts is hit and miss (mostly miss) and if in the middle of the workout you get a message then the watch often forgets all about the exercise you were doing. It often fails to take blood pressure measurements. The spo2 readings often indicate I am dead (72%) which would be upsetting if it was even slightly accurate (and despite the heart rate not working the spo2 levels continue to change). Those health measurements - there is a reason samsung plaster not to be used for medical purposes all over them ! For the past 3 days my heart rate has been a steady 115 - rock steady - as in the watch stopped taking readings and chooses to display the same random value for 3 days. But it gets worse - I don't turn on Wifi !!! Instead the watch continuously turns it on for absolutely no reason and I only notice because the battery is approaching dead by. Turn on Wifi or use the inbuilt GPS and you will be charging it twice a day - yes it is that bad. The published up to 40 hours of battery life is a total fantasy. There is so much to get excited about when you get this watch - great display, speedy response, comfortable (slightly fiddly) strap, lots of "health" measurements, etc then there is the reality of living with it You also need to prevent sleeping in workout modes. Especially since the screen goes to sleep alot. Additionally, double tapping the screen for lap reset is painful. It currently doesn't reset the time or distance on laps. Until they take time into making this a fully fledged fitness watch and not just an extension of apps on your phone with a bit of fitness thrown in, I don't think it's worth the money. With options of cadence and average heart rate. Meanwhile the total duration and distance continues. Read more ts from zero, as does the lap distance (and lap pace if need be). A simple feature (like my Suunto) is being able to just manually push a button and the lap records, the a lap time restar. For instance, if I'm training for a marathon, I need to do a 10 min warm-up, 4x5 min sets of RPE 6-8 with 90 seconds rest between and 10 min cool down. Sure you can preset some, but they are very limited and hard to tailor. For what I do, mainly running, it doesn't have the ability to track lap times (or other lap features). I actually made a massive mistake buying this and may actually return it. So, overall, I'm extremely happy with it. Read more great, weight is very nice (lighter than Apple Watch but still feels high-quality), the screen is excellent – very sharp and vivid – response to input is excellent, Google Assistant works perfectly, GBoard works well as a gesture-based keyboard, and Samsung's new velcro nylon watch band is almost as good as Apple's (the Apple version is wider, a little softer on the skin, and has a bit of elastication in it). The available watch faces and complications are good, if not *quite* as good as the Apple Watch's portrait display allows for, but still very good. I work from home so I suppose that makes it more bearable. I get about 1.5 days of charge (raise to wake), which could be better, but isn't terrible. Good enough in fact that I'm not even tempted by the Watch 5. I've found the Watch 4 to be very good.
I'm pretty tech-obsessed, so, I don't know, maybe I have too heavy a bias. Kinda surprised by the average score on here so far.
