      Yes! Google assistant is the best in the game right now. It finals and responds the fastest. Bixby is frustrating to use in the phone, it's even worse on this watch.

    The Galaxy watch Quick Start Guide includes a disclaimer about Bixby being limited when the watch is first introduced. Hopefully it will be improved in the future. I think your complaint about the screen resolution is not justified. I've never seen any other complaints about that. I own a Gear S3 and Galaxy watch, and am very happy with the screen quality & resolution.

    • @TechJungle
      @TechJungle  6 лет назад

      Yes, I agree that Bixby is limited. It's just frustrating to have it as your only option as a voice assistant. Siri works well on the Apple Watch. I wish we had that counterpart. As for the resolution, Samsung is the pioneer of display technology. I just want to see the resolution bumped up a bit. They've spoiled us with excellent smartphone displays.

    Watching this in December 2019, after more than a year from its release. I fell into the Black Friday trap and bought one, thinking it should have improved in all this time. I just couldn't stand bixby, worse than on my phone, and the app selection was trash. Researched the waterproofing, if it fails, warranty is void, and they want you to go swimming with it (samsung health swim tracking). I returned it after a week.

    • @TechJungle
      @TechJungle  6 лет назад +1

      Honesty, it's a great watch. I only had 3 complaints about it.
      For me, screen resolution is still important even on a tiny watch face. Its all about making this look a realistic watch. And to simulate realism, the pixels density should be high enough to where I cannot see them. Again, this is just my preference.

  • @VSPlum
    @VSPlum 6 лет назад +10

    Are you ready to pay for the higher resolution by the battery life time? I'm not. I prefer to keep current resolution, but increase battery life. And another thing is the compatibility with huge amount of watch faces in the Galaxy Apps Store -- different resolution will kill the back compatibility.

    • @TechJungle
      @TechJungle  6 лет назад

      It's a double edge sword I'm aware of. Sacrifice battery for resolution. I can manage the battery drain since I charge it every night. I'd be bummed if we couldn't use the thousands of awesome watch faces!

    I hate that mi Samsung doesn't have a camera controller. She can see on her watch the phone camera.

    As for the Google Apps -- you have to complain to Google, not to Samsung. Tizen OS is open for everyone to write awesome apps, but Google does not want to support the Wear OS competitor. I wish to have Viber and Telegram messengers on my Galaxy Watch and a lot of other apps, but let's be honest -- that's not a Samsung's issue.

    • @TechJungle
      @TechJungle  6 лет назад

      I understand. I'd wish Google supported this watch because it's the closest competition to the Apple Watch. I guess my major complaint was the lack of 3rd party support. Thanks for the comment!

  • @jyfjgtyuh
    @jyfjgtyuh 6 лет назад +2

    It's a very nice looking watch, but the software is just junk. Bixby is a joke, there are very few apps for the watch and the fitness tracking is very basic. You can not even set high heart rate alert on this watch. Functionality wise, it is not even close to the Apple watch. It is not a replacement for dedicated fitness trackers like Garmin either.

    • @TechJungle
      @TechJungle  6 лет назад +2

      It really is a great looking watch. It's the way I'd prefer a watch to look with it's rounded display. When you have it for a while, you start to notice it's deficiencies. I want a sharper display and Google support. The health portion is pretty decent for my usage, but Apple is definitely leading in this category.

    • @jyfjgtyuh
      @jyfjgtyuh 6 лет назад

      I agree about the resolution, my galaxy s8 is much sharper, I wish the watch had the same pixel density display as the s8. But the software makes things even worse - the heart rate for instance is displayed in such a small font that it I can't read it while cycling. There is no settings for high rate alert, which is a basic feature in every fitness tracker. There is no detection for irregular heart rate as in the Apple watch. It is a shame because all the hardware is there, but the software is very limited in functionality and the UI is poorly designed.

    Ok, so you want apple watch screen resolution right? And do you know how long apple watch battery lasts to feed all those shiny extra pixels? One day or not even that (they say 18 hours only!). So if I have to charge the battery every single night I'd rather have a lower resolution display, which by the way doesn't look bad at all on the Galaxy Watch if you ask me. A smartwatch is a smartwatch, I don't buy it to mimic a mechanical watch, I want it to be a smartwatch in the first place. I don't even use the always on display because I don't need it. So if it's just for those few moments throughout the day when I actually look at my smartwatch I'd rather have a good battery than a perfectly pixel-less display. Unless they manage to squeeze enough juice out from those tiny little batteries for the watch to work long enough I don't care for a real-time-piece-mimicking smartwatch. I don't want to worry about forgetting to charge my watch overnight before I leave home in the morning. I've been through that already, and that's precisely why I ditched my previous smartwatch which only lasted one day on a single charge. So no, thank you. On the other hand, I agree with you as for the Google apps integration. That's something I really miss from my previous smartwatch which was based on Wear OS (by Google). It annoys me I can't use Google Play Music nor Google Maps the way I used to use it on my old smartwatch. I guess Samsung wants to push its own ecosystem and they just don't have any agreement with Google which is a shame for them and mostly for us the users.

    Extremely misinforming about the resolution.. "The increased display area also results in increased resolution, with the 44mm Series 4 including 368x448 pixels, compared to 312x390 on the 42mm Series 3. The 40mm Series 4 has 324x394 pixels, while the 38mm Series 3 has 272x340 pixels." So the Galaxy Watch is ahead of the 40mm version, and not much behind the 44mm.
    Keep reaching.

      46mm Galaxy Watch: 360 x 360 pixels, 1:1 ratio (278 ppi density)
      It's a noticeable difference. Don't believe me? Wait next week and compare the two in store.

      Have you tried any other fitness trackers out there that you do like? Just curious.

      Tech Jungle yes, the Apple Watch. At least it works 100%. Please test the step counter

    This talk and stop is quite annoying. 9 minutes wasted.

      Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on it, just getting started. Come back a few vids later and give me an updated critique. 😎
