ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
This is a story of two teams joining forces to beat a bigger team which individually, they were not going to beat anytime soon. But they are still trying to figure out who plays which roll and with this watch, each is still sort of being a ball hog. These are just growing pains though and I think this is a fantastic combination of Google’s foundation and network, combined with Samsung’s features and hardware
$349 - $379 for different sizes
PHYSICAL DESIGN
Amazing aesthetic that perfectly masks the bezels with mechanical ones
Large colorful display - 1.4” Super AMOLED 450x450px
Slightly larger than Watch4 - at 46mm with 20mm strap
Battery lasts almost two days
5ATM/IP68 water resistance
Default watch strap is odd for small wrists
Also, why would this ship with a silicone strap??? Should be leather default
AOD
Haptics feel nice
MIC & SPEAKER TEST
INTERNALS
Wifi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC for Samsung Pay
1.5GB RAM
16GB storage

BIXBY TEST
HEALTH TRACKING AND ACCURACY
Sleep tracking
HR
GPS
Does not show a start for the first 100 yards - ½ mile but the distance is typically reasonably accurate. Certainly not leading the pack though
Plenty of wandering off the trail
Overall disappointing maps. Works well enough, but not reliable for races
Advanced running metrics
Asymmetry, contact time, flight time, regularity, etc.
Blood oxygen
Stress
Three heart rings - Steps, calories, and active minutes
Blood pressure and ECG
Syncs with a phone to track snoring?
Body composition measurement “98% correlation with DXA measurements”
False! Mine ranged from 13% to about 18% body fat - also skeletal muscle...
CONS:
* Cannot handle WAV audio files
* Silicone strap?
* Body composition is not accurate (my body fat ranged from 13% to 18% and it said I have too much muscle)
* Body composition measurement is awkward when worn on your right wrist
* Watch was snappy, but once I restarted it, it became EXTREMELY laggy and remained laggy until about 5 minutes after turning it on. Definitely not free of bugs
The big change is that you now have joined forces - Samsung and Google for a better experience, but they are still trying to figure out how to play on the same team

![GALAXY WATCH 4 vs GALAXY WATCH 4 CLASSIC [Samsung Has Changed.]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fsTO2Adj4BA/mqdefault.jpg)
So what are your thoughts on this watch? Was it a good idea for Samsung to ditch TizenOS and move to WearOS??
SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH 4 Classic: mikeobrienmedia.com/Galaxy-Watch-4
Google OS is my first choice so Samsung did a good job
Sorry but I can't use this type of watch but this looks pretty awesome.
my boy! ive been one of ur avid subscribers for almost a year now!
they actually did a very good job changing it to a more familiar face around...
rising -tide -lifts- all -boats kind of thing!
I've been using this for 48 hours already (black classic, bluetooth version, 46mm), really nice experience so far as the first smartwatch in my life !!
I ordered the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm wifi only, my first smart watch ever as well. I'm concerned about the negative reviews about it over heating and the battery life sucking.
@@shanew7361 Battery life is at least acceptable for me so far, and overheating is not an issue for me.
It's been like 5 months since this comment, I ordered one. Mine is supposed to come in today, any update on how its working 5 mo. In?
@@pjsikes5786 It is still awesome at this moment !

Finally! Was waiting for your review on this watch! Thanks Mike 👏👏
Compare the galaxy watch 4 to the galaxy watch 4 classic please!
Hi Mike, many thanks and I'll get one early next with a new handset. Cheers from Australia.
Finally..!! someone digging deeper into running stats. :)
Yes! I was looking forward to your review, Mike! Always very informative.
That watch (especially silver) is GORGEOUS!!! I'm looking forward to receiving mine this week.
i've been waiting for this video for weeks !
Been waiting for this
Great review! I have just ordered one and intended to order the black version, but somehow accidentally ordered the silver one- which is one reason I clicked on your review. I'm glad I did because it's the best review so far. I think I've decided to stick with the stainless finish rather than hassling with a return, and I can see that it looks great. Just had to have a triple bypass and I started shopping for an android watch to pair with my Note 10+... and then noticed that the 4 classic was out, so my search quickly ended right there lol. Subscribed.
Thank you for the honest review and mentioning all the drawbacks
Thanks for watching!
He never mentioned the bad battery life
Great review/video, thanks a million!
You review is getting really good, Nice!
Really digging your channel. Refreshingly honest. Well done 👍🏿
Was waiting fr this review 😍
Truly amazing ❤️
Really great video. Could you please tell me what tool did you use to do the panning shot around the watch 4 couple of times in the video?
great info, thx buddy
Man that bezel is sharp. Great video. Thanks for addressing watch straps and faces. 👍🏼
Great in-depth review 👌
Cool. Waiting for the tick watch pro 3 comparison 👍🏽
I can always count on your reviews.Keep it up!
Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it
Love ur videos
Keep up the good work m8👍👍👍
nice presentation... thanks Mike.
Great review my guy!
You did just like me, had to change the band to a black band to contrast
Very nice detailed review
Great review! I had hoped battery life would be the killer feature but seems same as previous models.
i ordered mine yesterday and it supposed to arrive between one or two weeks
i cant wait to try it already and I must say I love your videos mike
great review!
Great Video!!
Is this now the announced WearOS 3?
You made the by far best review about the Galaxy Watch 4! Great Video. I'm definitely sharing it with friends who are in for a smart watch.
I really appreciate your positive feedback! Thank you
@@MikeOBrienMedia You're welcome. Fossil Gen 6 is coming on Monday as I've heard and I can't wait for the comparison.
Hello Mike, awesome vid and review pal, just wondering will GW4 will get that wearOS 3 update? Thanks pal , great channel!
Your channel is so underrated!
Nice presentation man🤘👍
Very detailed video as usual..thanks for the pros and cons on this device. 👍🏿 Definitely confirms the advantages i expected when determining if i want to upgrade from the galaxy watch 3. Also BP monitoring still not active in the US via the Samsung Health Monitor app.
Well done! Great and detailed videos man with high-quality footage! The only feedback is that: as a consumer, I actually like to know the drawbacks upfront but love that you preview your topics and allow people to jump through. As for comparisons, I would love to see a comparison of the watch4 classic with the watch3 classic to know if it is truly worth the extra cash $$$ or wait until the next upgrade. Thanks!
Was waiting for this review .... real life experience sharing makes your review worth to watch ...the watch does most of the tasks ...though inaccurate body mass composition is a let down for me...
Good review Mike
Waiting for a comparison to the active 2
Thanks Mike 👏
I love this watch. Literally the only 2 things I dislike are nitpicks, the red accent on the home key, and the lack of dedicated E-mail app. Technically it has Outlook, but I sometimes need to scroll through opened emails and you cant do that even on the Outlook app.
Totally agree with you, I wonder who at Samsung had the bad taste to put this red accent 🤦🏽♂️.
And above all, I find the Watch 4 more beautiful than the classic, so why add $100 🤷🏽♂️?
In addition this year the characteristics are the same.
that red could easily be fixed if you have a black watch
*Waiting for this review*
Long awaited ☺️
Thanks for watching!
Are you gonna do a comparison between the buds 2 and buds pro? Loved the vid btw
Had great expectations from the Samsung-Google collaboration. But it seems that it’ll take them some more time to come out with a perfect Android Watch. But as always a great in-depth review. Waiting for more comparison videos to see where this watch stands.
Great video Mike, really enjoyed it and i like all the areas u covered. Finally happy that Samsung has adapted Wear OS and i hope it gets better over time
Greetings from Sri Lanka
I've experienced the same laggy start up on the watch 3. Only seems to happen at start up and if left like you said it'll go back to it normal snappiness. Best I could work out is on start up all the apps are loading and updating at the same time, something that the watch isn't optimised for, a lot of "always running" apps are put to sleep between uses to minimise the impact on the watch. On start up the watch just has to deal with all, tbh it's a small price to pay for something that's optimised really well 99.99% of the time and that will eventually go as hardware overtakes software
Nailed it
The GPS doesn't track along with the Google maps..I have the same problem as well .thought it was me alone . hopefully they do an update.
Thank you for this review. I have the original Galaxy Watch, and the sensor just stopped working, so I just ordered the Watch 4 Classic.
Finally!! I was waiting for your review of this for so long ❤
Thanks for watching!
Same
Same!
Same
Me too. Thanks.
nice watch and u have good explanation capability keep it up sir💖
Onto body composition stuff, it's best to measure it at the same time of day, before eating something. When you eat/drink, obviously more stuff comes into your body and while actual body composition will not change, the stuff the watch can measure will actually change. Try measuring it in the morning before doing anything - you should be able to get consistent results, which are the closest to actual reality.
I'd have to disagree. I have visible abs, and should be in the 12-15% body fat range. Regardless of many variables that I've tried (different times of day, different levels of water/food intake, and from waking up empty stomach at lowest weight, etc) the lowest I've ever seen this watch measure me was at 21% body fat. So for someone like me who would prefer a more accurate reading, this watch failed. So I really wouldn't rely on this being close to actual reality.
@@averageazn4762 other people also did measure it, against actual medical equipment worth 5k$ and it was in the same ballpark, ±1%
@@waldamy be that as it may, comparing to equipment using the same type of technology carries the same, potential inaccuracies. The most accurate measurements come from a dexa scan. I'd be more interested to see someone compare to that.
@@averageazn4762 if you have the watch you could do that right? Just get a dexascan (check groupon or something) and compare with the watch 🤔
@@haviper At this point, I haven't decided if I'm keeping the watch. I'm 50/50 while I still have my return window, within the week. But it's still a few weeks before I'm done with my cut, so if I've decided to keep the watch by then, I'll consider doing a more precise measurement. There's no doubt this watch, and similar techs, aren't suited for my purposes. It's just the matter of by how much they're off, and whether that truly matters to the majority of the people using it.
Cool vid, will smash the like button
Thanks!
@1:30 I hope that's a stock watch face. It looks really nice on this watch.
I got it and i love it 😍😍
I just wanna try it🤧
Hi, thanks for the great review - is there a way to measure floors climbed on this watch? My Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro can measure it and I got used to it, it's part of my workout.
nice review
Been waiting for your reviews on Samsung's new watches. Awesome video!
Love it
Excellent software instruction video Mike. In reality, Tizen hasn't been incorporated into Wear, Wear has been incororporated into Tizen. Samsung really made the Android OS usable.
With a trigger for google assistant would have been awesome 🔥🔥
The main draw I have to smart watches is the ability to control my home with it other than that just need it to tell me the time.
WearOS future looks bright!🔥🔥🔥
I'm sooooo bummed that Samsung doesn't offer the silver 46mm Classic here in Canada :(
I'm not even kidding, I was waiting forever for ur review to come out. In my opinion ur one of the best reviewers on RUclips
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words!
Purchased a regular one when it came out. First smart watch. Not bad. Kinda regret not getting the classic.
it is a good cooperation with Samsung. There are some things they could possibly add or change. for example, make the Galaxy Store available on the watch. so you have more options to choose from. I hope spotify gets an update so you can listen offline. on the watch itself. it's a start but there's still a lot that can be done
Spotify already got this update on Wear OS a few days earlier.
Galaxy Store is pretty trashy compared to the Google Play Store.
I would also like to have WhatsApp with actual photos, other then that I like my watch. Battery life with LTE is wack tho
re: body composition, you're supposed to measure that at the same time every day, our body composition does indeed change wildly when using any method that depends on electrical currents running through one's body. Even formal large machines will do the same if using this method. That's why it's recommended to always measure when you wake up or always measure when you go to bed. The measurement is indeed accurate.
Thanks Mike for the great review I was waiting long time
Can you make comparison with galaxy watch 3 if possible
Well done bro continue
All the best for you
Got mine on Friday and my Z Fold 3 on Wednesday. I will miss MST on both the phone and watch. Not all retailers support NFC and I'll have my Note20 Ultra until I have to trade it in and then my Note10+ 5G for MST support. I also kind of hate that for all the years Samsung has been making watches, they suddenly changed the home and back button placements. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time, but I started with the Gear S3 Classic, then Watch Active 2, then Watch 3, so it'll definitely be an adjustment. Other than these, I really really do love Samsung Watches!
You from the US? Cuz no one here got any of those things yet...besides multi media talking heads.
@@HOLY_SPIRIT_GOD yes, I'm in the US
nice review - yes some definite growing pains - i am still debating if I should return the Galaxy 4 and stick with my Active 2 or just keep it and hope things will get better - right now I am having a difficult time finding a working Watchface (other than the ones that came with the watch that is) and was hoping the WearOS watchfaces would work since I have a number already purchased - but alas - they only partially work and things like Samsung Health steps dont come across (and for a fitness watch is kinda important :) ) Thanks for your review!
I love my watch 4 classic, having Google assistant would just be the cherry on top!!
yes indeed
look at the unicorn beetle pro case by Supcase...as soon as they come out for one for the watch 4 I'm all over it.
Please do a comparison between this and ticwatch pro 3, thanks!
But what about calories counting in some Certain workouts like gym exercises? The problem is that they are pre-programmed in all galaxy devices. Some workouts will just take into account your Samsung Health Profile info (weight, age etc.) and Basal Metabolic Rate but not your oxygen level, gyroscope data or even heart rate. It is very interesting whether something has changed with the transition to the wear os.
What is your wrist size, Mike? I think you mentioned this information in previous videos but I can't find it. Thank you so much! 🙂
I was never into watches but galaxy watches look so good
Ik same but i did order a active 2 because of this guy
Thanks for the review. Just cancelled my order because these are the same type of issues I am having with my 2018 galaxy watch since day one. Sleep recorded, footsteps counted when I am just sitting and inaccurate GPS tracking were always an issue. After all the updates nothing has ever been fixed. With Samsungs track record and the issues you brought up I doubt they will ever fix anything. I thought things were going to be better having google wear OS in the mix but I realized what the main problem is, the preloaded samsung apps are dominant and they make it a hassle to put certain google apps on and use them. It’s hard to look at the Galaxy Watch 4 as anything other than a compromise of a device compared to a true Google OS watch. It’s a flagship Wear OS 3 watch that runs Samsung’s UI on top, won’t ship with Google Assistant, and comes packed with default apps that compete with Google’s own services. Waiting for a Pixel Watch🤞🏻.
You mentioned the BP monitoring, but fid not say that it is not working in the US
Silicone strap is like the first Galaxy Watch has, and buttons design is similar as well.
Love your review I waited to buy watch 4 instead watch 3 because of your video
Hi Mark. I as having a similar issue occasionally on my Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE where on a run it would post the start of the run pretty far from where I actually started. I think is MAY be a software issue that happens when the watch disconnects from teh phone and switches over to 4g. So I tried turning off my phones bluetooth, waiting till the watch had 4G then started Here Maps on the watch to get an accurate fix - then engaged a run on the watch and no problems with the starting point...
Thank you for your review, Mike. Question: According to gsmarena, GW Active 2 (44mm model) has 360x360 pixes and 364 ppi density. GW 4 on the other hand (44mm model), has only 321 ppi density even though it has 450 x 450 pixels. How can that be the case?
Great video, is the calories burned based on your actual HR and effort, or is it still still the previous one and just a calculation and of course never accurate
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you so much 😊 😊😊😊😊
Great ... Honest Review! Thanks.!
Subscribing 👍
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words
I have the galaxy watch classic 4 in black. Could not get the metal version for some reason in Canada. I looked on the samsung and bestbuy site and no other colors. A bit annoyed but it is what it is. Also ordered the tic watch pro 3 as well. Can't wait for both
Excellent clarification of the limits of Samsung's announced features.
Thank you!
I got the watch yesterday (42mm) and the straps are a big problem for me. I have a really small wrist and it definitely looks and feels weird. Luckly I could use the straps from my original galaxy watch (first generation) and they fit perfectly!
They will soften up over time . Shame they changed them though
Must be nice. I'm still waiting for mine
20mm watch straps?
@@aashishsingh2001 Yes
@@1970Metallica Thanks for confirming. I have original Galaxy Watch 46mm so nothing will be usable I believe including the charger and straps. Also is the charger having type C port?
Love my watch
Will you be doing a Fossil gen 6 video when it's available?
I ran into that "lag" as well after rebooting.
it’s possible disable bezel function to use it like dive watch or to track time elapse ? i mean = disable the bezel to dont go to menu when i turn or spin . I want that the bezel even rotating do not go to menu , i need to stay in pointers face to use tachymeter
Do you recommend upgrading from Galaxy Watch 3?
An actual review, you sir just earned a like and subscribe.
Thanks so much! I am really glad you like my video style!
Best reviews
The silver one is starting to grow on me. Just swap out the bands and it'll look good!
Yes I agree. I am typically not one to wear silver watches, but with a nice strap, it can look really nice! I am going to continue shopping for a new strap I like
A developer can make a wear os app along with the android app.
