Samsung Galaxy Watch4 40mm Bluetooth Smart Watch, 3 Year Manufacturer Warranty, Black (UK Version)

Bought on sale for a little over £100 and very pleased with functionality and quality. Battery life is circa 3days but this is fine for me.Full functionality for access to email, messages, calls all available on watch (without phone) once connected to WiFi, so handy when mobile is elsewhere.

I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 a year ago, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. Here’s why I highly recommend it:Sleek and Stylish Design: The Galaxy Watch 4 boasts a sleek, modern design that looks great on my wrist. The build quality is excellent, with a durable and comfortable strap that’s perfect for all-day wear. The customizable watch faces allow me to tailor the look to match my style.Impressive Display: The vibrant AMOLED display is stunning. It’s bright, crisp, and easy to read even in direct sunlight. Navigating through the menus and apps is smooth and responsive, thanks to the high refresh rate.Comprehensive Health Tracking: One of the standout features is its comprehensive health tracking capabilities. It monitors heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep patterns, and even body composition. The ECG and blood pressure monitoring add an extra layer of health insights, making it a great tool for staying on top of my wellness.Fitness Features: The watch supports a wide range of workouts and automatically detects many of them, which is incredibly convenient. The built-in GPS accurately tracks my runs and bike rides, while the various fitness metrics help me stay motivated and reach my goals.Seamless Integration with Android: As an Android user, I appreciate how seamlessly the Galaxy Watch 4 integrates with my phone. Receiving notifications, calls, and messages on my wrist is incredibly handy. The ability to respond to texts and use apps directly from the watch is a game-changer.Battery Life: The battery life is solid, lasting about two days with regular use. Even with the always-on display and frequent workouts, I can get through a full day without needing to recharge. The fast-charging feature is a bonus when I need a quick top-up.Wear OS Powered by Samsung: The combination of Wear OS and Samsung’s interface makes for an intuitive and user-friendly experience. The app ecosystem is robust, offering a wide variety of useful apps and watch faces.Additional Features: The watch also includes useful features like Samsung Pay, which lets me make contactless payments, and music storage, which is great for workouts.Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a fantastic smartwatch that combines stylish design with powerful features. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enhance their health, fitness, and connectivity. You would not need to upgrade it to Watch 5 or 6! I highly recommend using it, as it comes out in good budget as well!

I'm a bit disappointed that the pink strap is a bit too big for my small wrist. I believe they ship this out with an S/M size wrist strap, but unfortunately there aren't enough holes for a smaller wrist, and I don't really want to punch a hole in the smooth silicone strap myself and ruin the finish of the strap. I had to replace the pink strap with the Samsung Extreme Sport Band in S/M size which has holes running all the way through the length of the strap. This means it will fit any size of wrist, including mine.But otherwise, this is a fantastic watch. It does everything I want it to and more. Pay for things through NFC, read my emails and whatsapp and SMS messages, do sleep and health checking, use Google maps on the go without taking my phone out, check weather forecast, make and receive calls without using my phone handset, and the speech to text recognition works so well so I can "write" messages on the go without fiddling around typing on a virtual keyboard.. and the voice recorder too lets me record things.Only gripe is the battery life. Wearing the watch for 7 hours on battery saver (which turns off Wifi) already drains 25% battery. It definitely needs recharging end of the day. Or even during the day, if you're using it heavily or have screen on a lot. But it's not exactly a cinch to charge out and about either, as the watch has to charge on top of a small circular a docking station around the size of the clock face. The charging watch will be strongly attached to the docking station though the magnetic attachment though, and no doubt would withstand being jostled about a bit in a handbag. But then you'd need to also link the charging dock to a powerbank to supply the power. So that's what I mean by it's not exactly a cinch to charge the watch on the go.The battery saver facility conserves battery somewhat. It's also easy to turn battery saver/wifi on and off. All the health stats and things I type or record are still saved on the watch's memory, until I turn off battery saver again and all the information saved offline will be uploaded online.Another thing is that this being a Samsung watch, it does kind of lock you in to the Samsung Pay system. The long hold press on the lower watch button is programmed to turn on Samsung Pay for NFC payments - it is very convenient, but it doesn't allow you to customise it to turn on Google Pay instead. There is a way to make it easier to access Google Pay by configuring the watch to turn on Google Pay when you double press the watch's top button, and you can find a youtube video that explains how to do this. This is the best workaround. I prefer Google Pay I find as I find there are more establishments in Britain that will accept Google Pay NFC payments rather than Samsung Pay.All in all, a very attractive and customisable watch with a brilliant, bright and vivid clockface and beautiful graphics. It runs very smoothly and does everything an Apple watch does, and more. Even in terms of battery life really, both Apple and Samsung smartwatches are similar. So ultimately it's about what brand of phone you use. If you're a Samsung phone user like me, then getting this watch is a no-brainer. It works seamlessly with it. I got the Bluetooth version as I have my phone on or near me most times anyway, and I also am always in reach of a Wifi network, so don't really need to to use 4G a lot.

The media could not be loaded. I really like the watch. It is so simple to use and connect. I even managed to watch youtube on it and you can even play games on it. With it, I can control my house items, I can just go,"Hey, Google!, Turn on the vacuum cleaner!" and it turns on the vacuum cleaner with out touching it. The watch can even make calls and you can message people. You can use google assistant on it. You can measure your heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, your BMI and your sleep. The step counter is very accurate too. I really reccomend this watch if you want a cheap smart watch. WARNING: You can only use this watch on Certain Samsung Phones. For some reason in the video the colours on the watch have gone. There are colours there in real life.
