Hey what's up - Listen up Android users. For years, there has not been a truly great smart watch for you. But now, Samsung and Google have combined forces to make Wear OS 3 and the Galaxy Watch 4. The thing hopefully we've all been waiting for is finally here. Plus, it has a huge set of new health features. We might finally have a smart watch that I can recommend to any Android user. This might be Google's OS, but it is Samsung's watch, through and through. It's good, but only if you are living a Samsung life. Anyway, let's review this thing. Actually, these things, 'cause there's two models, the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. Let's just get the basics out of the way. If you haven't heard, Samsung has agreed to ditch Tizen OS for its smart watches and switch to Wear OS. But, Samsung is contributing stuff to Wear OS now, including watch faces and, you know, actually good hardware with actually fast processors. What that means is that this is a Wear OS watch, but without as many of the problems So, it's faster than any Wear OS watch has ever been, and it has better app support, but I like having round watch faces, and I like that you can use any 20-millimeter strap. The regular Galaxy Watch 4 has a touch-sensitive bezel that you can use to scroll around and it's, fine. But the Galaxy Watch Classic has a physical rotating bezel with little clicks on it. That's just so much nicer than swiping around on the watch face. Google and Samsung have also figured out a pretty good core user interface. You swipe up for apps, right for notifications, down for quick settings, and left for tiles. And you can customize all these tiles for the stuff that you care about, which means that you don't have to cram every single complication you want onto the main watch face. Oh, and watch faces. The defaults available on the Galaxy Watch are way better than what you can get on say, Fossil smart watches. I love this fun bear buddy one. You can also get a bunch of custom watch faces too, if you want. Battery life is good enough. The Galaxy Watch 4 has all of the standard health stuff. It can do step counting, exercise tracking for 95 different kinds of workouts, GPS, and so on. There's also ECG for checking, and it can do blood oxygen, just like the Apple watch. Samsung uses that to assist with its sleep tracking feature, which also can use a phone to listen for snoring and then sync all of that data up. It has a bioelectric impedance sensor, which lets you measure body composition stats like body fat percentage, or skeletal muscle mass, and so on. So it's a lot. And I think in a proper context, all of these health features are useful, So this watch is the bundle of features.
