I upgraded from the Active 2 Watch that I absolutely loved, and traded with my daughter. Now I want my Active 2 back. Every day I regret my purchase. The battery life on this watch is abysmal. I have to charge it every day, and it's always running out of charge when I'm not home. When I search for help on saving battery life I find dozens of posts and videos on her to do it... all of them in involve turning off all the features you buy a smart watch for! I like using fun watch faces, I want to track my heart rate and sleep. If I turn all of those things off I might just add well have bought a $25 watch. Love my Samsung phone and earbuds. Hate my watch.

I got this watch yesterday, love all the features, but after I charged it last night, without even using the watch, battery is already half empty. Had active watch 2 before this one, wasn't happy with battery life either, but at least I could have all day tracking. This one I don't think it's going to last a day. I'm returning this one. If samsung can make watch like this with battery that can last 2 days, I will be first to get one, but this battery life is unacceptable. Common samsung, huawei watch have 2 weeks battery life, but it's too big for me

I had active 2 for over the year. I got this with my new s22. Have to say nothing like active 2. Same as everybody else, the battery life is really bad. I am not happy with the performance of the watch. I still didnt figure out how to add my own ringtone. They are "sometimish" sometimes i m getting notifications, sometimes not. Can brake my hand but the screen is off, even i have it always on...With active 2, everything was perfect, almost 2 years daily use the battery still last longer than this brand new 4. I wanted to sell my old watch,but guess i will better sell this one and keep my old active 2.

I was very excited to purchase the samsung galaxy watch 4 when i first heard about it coming out back in august 2021. I bought it as soon as it was released because i wanted to upgrade from the samsung galaxy watch 2. I was very dissapointed when my watch started malfunctioning and being non responsive after less than 2 years of having it. Luckily i got a warranty so i used it to buy an upgraded and functioning version (watch 4). A couple weeks ago, just 8 months after getting that upgraded watch, it started to glitch again and now it doesn't work at all. It sucks because I had spent so much money and time to get this watch and support Samsung.

I really like the features on this watch, but I was going to use the google pay more than any other features on the watch, the problem is I can't. I have the latest firmware on my watch and the latest rom on my s21 ultra. However when i install gpay it disables itself after a while and also dont give me the option to choose default payment method as gpay. Samsung openly admitted this problem many months ago, which i didn't know at the time when i purchased my watch 4 classic. Still no fix, I've tried all the suggested fixes none of them worked. I would happily use Samsung pay but none of my cards support it. I am very disappointed

Bought the 4g version as an upgrade to my active 2 4g x set the new one up and seemed fine couldn't restore from previous watch as lots not compatible on new 1. set it up and loved it the it kept asking for a pin everytime I unlock the phone . So once I activate the screen I can't even scroll over to steps or calendar ect without having to enter a pin . It's very annoying and support said its how it is as I have samsung pay active ( only asked for.my pin on last watch when I wanted to pay with it ) Not many watch faces and my favourite one from watch 2 not available In hindsight I shod have stuck with my watch 2

We're sorry to see that your new Galaxy Watch4 is so far not giving you everything that you were hoping for, Roberta. We have made sure that the watch has all the most popular, and intelligent, security options available so if the PIN option is not to your liking then hopefully another option will be better suited to your needs. We are always adding faces to the available catalogue of options available, and there are also an enormous amount available to download from the store, so maybe something new will catch your eye. ^DB at Samsung Support

With the Google partnership for Smartwear OS, these are probably the best smartwatches to get. With Gboard, you can use the on screen keyboard to type easily. Performance and battery life are good. My main negative is the build quality. I bought mine in December and in January 2022, I now have 2 big scratches which have made the watch unattractive. There should have been a recommendation to buy a screen protector if the screen is that fragile. Note, this is from day to day use, never been dropped or hit against the wall etc. Might be worthwhile buying one with scratch resistant or sapphire glass Samsung doesnt cover cosmetic damage so take this into consideration

Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts about the Galaxy Watch4, Tech. We are pleased to see that you like the new Wear OS powered by Samsung that puts seamless access to your favourite apps on your wrist. It's great also that you like the so many fantastic features included with this watch, the increased performance as well as the powerful battery that will keep your watch going beyond the 24-hour mark. The Galaxy Watch4 features a Super Amoled display that is resistant. However, it can still suffer from wear and tear. The good news is that we have some great repair options available that will allow you to have your watch fixed in an affordable and flexible way while keeping the warranty unaffected.

I wasn't planning on upgrading my watch (Galaxy Watch Classic), but when my S10 battery swelled and I needed a new phone, I got this watch free with my S22+. I set it up and everything runs fine. It tracked my walks, and was more responsive to detecting workouts, which is nice, but I'm so used to making sure I activate them on my watch, it wasn't a big deal. Everything was well and good, until I got a call. I was sitting in my vehicle, (which was off and not connected to BT) and my phone was in my purse in the backseat, so I answered on my watch. The person on the other end of the line (who has called me before and I've spoken to them on my watch) could barely hear me, saying it sounded like I was in a wind tunnel (the vents weren't even on, and I was in a closed space), and I could barely hear them with the speaker turned on high. On my old watch, you couldn't tell the difference between answering on the handset and answering on my watch. This has happened a few more times since that inital issue. I've cleaned the watch and checked the settings. All is in peak condition. It's just a horrible mic and speaker system for even basic calls. After taking a couple more calls on my new watch, I've since decided to switch back to my original classic watch. It has fewer functions, but what it does, it does well.

I've had my watch for over 3 or 4 years I believe. It's the second pbe I'm.getting or rather the third smasinf watch but it's by far the best in terms of durability and versatility. I do take care of it and I know there are newer versions but I believe in the old idea that a good watch should be for life. I love it. I'm hoping of I do upgrade, it will beto something similar and only for compatibility reasons. As a.watch I'm grateful I chose ot and.it makes me happy

I've had the Galaxy Watch 4 (40mm) for 15mths, and it was perfect. Suddenly last week, the battery only lasts about 3hrs, and is affecting all the volumes on my phone through the bluetooth connection. I left my watch turned off for the full day and had no problems with my phone (S21+), turn it on today and my volumes all become disjointed, turn the bluetooth off and back on and they are fine again, for a little while. I have not decided what is worse, the impact on my phone or the fact the watch only lasts 3hrs. Performed full reset on the watch, no difference. This watch should have lasted a lot longer!

This is my 3rd Samsung watch and by far the worst. Notifications are very intermittent, it's pointless me paying for my watch plan which I now plan on cancelling. It doesn't track my sleep, it doesn't monitor my heart rate continuously, like its set to. The battery life is shocking. I've never been as disappointed in a Samsung product as I am with this watch. I regret buying it, it doesn't do as its supposed to, so was a total waste of money. I wish my old samsung watch didn't just pack up on me. I wish it wasn't to late to send this watch back, but I gave it a fair shot and it hasn't improved at all.

The watch looks really nice and feels nice on my wrist. The battery life is a whole different story. I can't even get 2 days with minimal use. It also takes a long time to charge. It should charge faster if the battery life is so short. If I would have known about all this I wouldn't have bought it.

I've had the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, 46mm, for a few months now and am still a bit disappointed. I wear my original Galaxy Watch 46mm just about as often because the battery lasts at least twice as long. Another big disappointment is the lack of Google Assistant. My ooold Samsung Gear Live had Google Assistant, and it was fantastic!! Shame they couldn't have had the same software engineers write the new watch. Until they get the battery issue figured out and Google Assistant installed, this watch is a disappointment. Can't recommend buying this when it's simply a step in the wrong direction.

I upgraded my watch from a Galaxy Active2 (44mm) to the Watch4 (40mm). I really enjoy the smaller size. Very nice, sleek design. New features I didn't have on the Active2 are great. I would be extremely pleased with this purchase if the battery life on this watch wasn't such garbage. Even if you're just wearing the watch and not utilizing any features that would undoubtedly drain the battery, you will easily lose a few percentages of battery life every hour. It's awful. How are you supposed to utilize the sleep functions if you need to charge it every night? Samsung has some work to do.

I am thoroughly impressed with my watch. The functions vast and immensely useful. It's has really made me want to exercise much more, and I have been far more active than usual. I've used the exercise facility on my phone, the video routines are very inspiring, and coupled with my galaxy 4 watch, I keep a close eye on my endeavours throughout the day. My only bug bare is, when I first got the watch, I dropped it and it "recorded" a hard fall and dialled 112 emergency number, I was very embarrassed, as i couldn't deactivate it, the cancel button wouldn't work. I have since found out how to change which number it calls and changed it to my husbands. Samsung should warn you about this when you first buy 1.

We're delighted to see that you're loving your Galaxy Watch4. It's packed with plenty of intelligent options for keeping you in touch with everyone, no matter how busy you are, and it's fantastic to see that it's helping you keep motivated and set some fitness goals. This is so much easier to do once you've paired the Watch with your smartphone, and makes tracking your goals feel very simplistic. The Fall Detection feature for all of our smartwatches is preset to call a number that would be universal for all of our UK customers, but can be changed as you've now discovered. We are happy to take on board your feedback, however, and do invite you to speak to our Customer Support team if you do ever purchase any new devices, as they would be happy to help you set them up in a way that best suits your needs.

Dropped a star because I have to charge the batter daily. My old Fitbit latterly needed charing every 1.5 days and it was 5 years old (previously lasted 5 days-ish). I switched off media such as email, whatsapp etc and I still need to charge daily or 1.5 days if I'm happy for it to die when I'm out in the middle of the day. To avoid losing it recording steps I recharge when I'm sitting in an evening. I also had to change phone from Huawei p10 to a Samsung phone because the watch/app was incompatible with Huawei, so all in all it's been an expensive venture for me.

Overall very happy. Got this for a couple of reasons: 1. To find out how I'd get on with it - So far so good! 2. To see if it would be legible in sunlight (something that was really annoying with my current device) - It is, even in bright sunlight. However, battery life a bit disappointing - lasts just over 24 hours. Recharges by 50% or more while I'm getting ready in the morning. Did see reviews of other devices with larger batteries that didn't even last a day! There is a "Watch only" mode that suggests the battery would last 12 days. Haven't tried that yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch itself is a lovely design, comfortable and used to work well with my Samsung S23. Which is the reason I chose a Samsung watch. However, since the last update, on Christmas Day 2024, I no longer receive notifications from my phone. This is despite turning off and on, unpairing and repairing, resetting the watch and starting from scratch. Nothing has worked to get it back to how it was pre-update. I thought updates were meant to make things better?... This has put me off purchasing a Samsung watch in the future. Also, the battery life isn't great.

Doesn't support calls on giff gaff or payments through the Barclays app. The other features are very good and I enjoyed the watch for 10 weeks, until its flimsy face broke. I'm not particularly heavy handed and cannot stress highly enough how unfit for purpose the glass screen design with its raised lip is. I quite literally tapped the edge of the watch on something by accident, as I do with my hands regularly every day and the screen edge has cracked and continued to further split on several places. The repair service refuses to quote me without sending the watch to them and local repair shops don't wish to do the job. I can see that a replacement screen is almost half the cost of the watch and I'm not going to throw good money after bad.

We're sorry to see that there has been some damage to the screen of your Watch4. This isn't what we'd expect and it is designed to be really durable for any occasion and weather. If you are trying to use Samsung Pay to pay for items on the watch, not all banks are supported at the moment, which includes Barclays. If you are wanting to use the LTE version of the watch to make calls with an eSIM without your phone nearby, at the moment this is only supported on EE, Vodafone and O2. We'd love to get it looked at and fixed if you choose to, but our engineers will need to do a full inspection before giving you the correct quote. You can then decide whether to go ahead with the repair or refuse and have it returned to you. It will be fixed back to full warranty standard and back to you in no time!

(Located in the UK) I bought it in Nov2021, swam once > (half year later)it's broken, and won't power on > sent it in Jun 2022 to get it repaired, got it back in July, guess what! it's just been a months, swam last night, it didn't even finish recording my 2nd lap> watch broken again> not powering on again! > send it off for repairing again! AND! during the 1st repair, the following was replaced: motherboard, battery, screen, casing and other stuff! so it's a brand new watch! and it's broken already in Aug 2022. very disappointed at Samsung

Whilst the functionality is great and the number of available apps is good too the battery life is abysmal. Even on power saving mode the watch needs to be charged every other day at a minimum which compared the the Garmin is just poor. It is a shame this watch wasn't for me as the style and the functionality are great but considering the overall size of the watch I expected better battery life. For someone like me who enjoys the outdoors and multi day hikes I don't want to have to consider the additional requirement to charge my watcb

The Health and fitness apps on this phone appear to be excellent if that's what you're after. I was very disappointed to find that there isn't an email reader on here. You can apparently receive notifications, but only if you route your emails through the Samsung email app on your phone. There is no direct support for any social networking. Don't but it if that's what you want from a smartwatch. Also battery life is limited to about a day and a half in full mode. Battery saving mode may be better.Good news.. It does tell the time okay.

I was first happy about getting my Watch 4, all the features worked well until a week later. All the health fitness trackers like the heart rate sensor, Composition monitor, and blood oxygen sensor stopped working. Ived contacted Samsung about my issue and they told me almost all of the sensors are not approved by Health Canada. The main reason i bought this is because i wanted to track my health better but since i can't, i find it useless to buy a fitness watch to record my fitness and well being when i can't track my own fitness.

After owning the original Galaxy Watch 46mm I really wanted the Watch 4 Classic 46mm but didn't want to give up my original, but with the trade in oprice and features of the new watch it was hard to pass on and caved in and bought it, and glad I did. The watch 4 is a decent upgrade over the original with double the RAM and 4X the storage. Also Wear OS will mean better app support and has many more fitness features to try out. After owning this watch for a few days I really like it and have no problem in recommending it.

Samsung is no game compared to others like Apple Watch or Fitbit. Except for new watch faces, OS and more statistics on body; not much has changed.You can buy a Renpho weighing scale for $50 and get all body stats on your phone. They promised ECG monitoring and other features in watch 2; which have not seen the light of the day till yet. Do not waste your time money on this smart watch.

I bought this about a week ago and I wasn't even sure if I was going to like it or not because I do have smaller wrists but I bought the 40 mm and scrolling through the apps and the device itself is really easy and the watch itself is super thin it actually looks like a normal watch not like a big clunky smartwatch so if you're debating about getting a smartwatch I would definitely go for the Galaxy 5 whether you go for the Pro or the normal just depends on your wrist size and if you like the look of bigger watches

Had the watch just over a week now. Everything has been working great in the most part given that it has just been released and I have all in all loved the watch however over the last day or so I started to notice that I could see my watch face on all screens. I tried turning it off and on again as per supports instructions but as you can see the burn is still on the boot screen. I've had always on display turned on during the day but I certainly wasn't expecting screen burn after a week. Very disappointing.

This is my first time having a watch like this. I've always wanted one and finally decided to buy. It's a smart little watch, does what I wanted it too. Reply to messages etc and health apps. Only thing is I found the battery life is not that great, maybe because I use it to much. And it has apps that I don't want on it which is annoying. But having said this I do love it. I don't notice I have a watch on my wrist as its so comfortable. Might consider getting another one but a newer model hehe!

Wore my watch only during the day and it had multiple scratches within two weeks. This type of damage is not covered under warranty, and Samsung doesn't even fix it - they refer you to Futuretel and you have to pay for repairs. The battery life is also quite poor - I have to charge it every night if I want it to last all day. Otherwise it's a beautiful watch and I enjoy it, but because of these two critical issues, I would not recommend it. Disappointing product from a known company such as Samsung.

Have had a few different smart watches over the years, but because I upgraded to the z flip series, I thought i'd go for the galaxy watch series, bad idea. Feature wise, fantastic, everything you'd expect from a Samsung smart watch. But my biggest issue, battery life. I have to charge it once a day for normal usage. That's uncommon for.mosy smart watches from any other brand, for example my Huawei gt3, same specs and features as this but nearly triple the battery life with the same usage.

Lovely watch hardware let down by Samsung and Google's shockingly poor software. Almost every workout has major HR tracking issues. No updates have yet fixed the issues. Almost every cycling workout ends up in a complete HR recording failure. A cheap fitness band worked fine for years. Why did I bother buying something 15x the price? Apart from that the battery is awful. Oh, and Gmail notifications do not even vibrate since release date and still don't. Mountain bike tracking has no GPS option. GPS tracking can't be turned off for walking workout making the battery life even worse. The option doesn't do anything. The watch looks great and the screen is nice and that's all it's got going for it. Samsung don't appear to care to fix as I've contacted them multiple times as have others.

But even with making numerous adjustments, the battery drains very quickly. And even without wearing it, it loses its change in a day. When using it, i can get maybe 8 hours. That is with battery saver mode, disabling every battery draining function, and hardly touching it. i bought it before the sale. And it's definitely not worth the full price or the sale price. Super disappointed bc I'd bought to use as a reminder to take medication. What's the point of it can't even stay charged?

Excellent device, love the functionality, would give it 5 stars except for the appalling battery life. 44 hours is about the maximum I can get on mine (and I've switched off functions to save power). Friends who have watched from the 'other' famous brand get 7 days from theirs. What's the point in having sleep monitoring apps when you have to put it on the table to charge every night? If I go away for the weekend I have to take a charging lead with me (and sometimes a power source).

And i never receive notifications while out. I come home check my phone and will have multiple missed messages or phone calls. And the watch doesn't pick it up.

Have owned each series of the Galaxy Watch. Currently still on the 3. Have noticed battery life reduce each iteration. The Watch 3 was a compromise between size and battery life, so balanced it well (I can get 3 days out of it easily, even now). The Watch 4 barely lasted the day and therefore ended up swiftly sending it back! Plus, I prefer the layout in Tizen OS of the apps circled around the bezel (it's disciplined) instead of Watch OS's clumped disorder (copies Apple)

There are some good points - Samsung Health works well BUT the stability of connection to my Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is intermittent dropping connection regularly, I have the 4G version and calls on the watch using the Buds is very hit and miss. The worst point after owning the watch for a few months - the battery life is abysmal - may as well knock off the 4G as there's zero point to it unless you want to charge the watch twice a day. Could do much better Samsung. MUCH!

I no longer have to go searching to see where I left my phone every time I need to login to a website using two-factor authentication. The text appears right there on my wrist.

Really disappointed with a lot of things on this watch. The battery life is dismally poor. The fact that you need to put in a passcode all the time. That when you recharge the watch again and then turning it on again (if you remember) you then need to put in the passcode before it starts logging your steps? I really wish I had done more research on this watch before I bought it. Also it requires multiple phone apps to be installed to work? Not very efficient.

It's a comfortable smart watch and most of the time does exactly what I expect. It's great at automatically picking up exercise & it has a lot of functions I haven’t really taken advantage of yet. A couple of niggles are battery life is poor. I have to charge it daily. I usually take it off when I sit down to watch a tv show though so it works out ok. Also, notifications seem to just stop and I have to regularly reconnect my phone. I'm not sure why this is.

It is a good watch to have even when I updated it to Watch OS4. It is good and does what it says on the tin, but the battery life is absolutely rubbish. I am lucky if I get a full day out of it without having to charge it up again. Even with the battery saver feature on it will be lucky to last 36 hours without having to recharge it. I hope if the Watch 4 gets the next update that they do something about the battery use to last longer 48 hours.

I bought a month ago and so far it's basically the same as my galaxy 2 watch with new additional features. I have all the features turned on and the battery life after 24 hrs of use is still usually at 55% so that works for me as I charge it every day when I jump in the shower. Charging is very fast, seem to be the same as my Galaxy 2 watch. Overall I'm very please with he watch. The ECG can be unlocked following very simple Youtube videos.

Bought one for my wife to replace her Fitbit that was constantly disconnecting. Turns out, this has the same issue. Only the watch has to be reset every. single. time. Extremely frustrating. Wearable app uninstalled and reinstalled. Watch4 plugin up-to-date. Watch updated to the latest OS. And the battery didn't last very long, which I've read could be due to Google Assistant bring added to the OS. After 2 days of resets, it's going back.

I am getting about 1 day and a half of battery life with the screen always on. It is pretty good. It does everything that I need. At full price, I would not buy it but with the Black Friday discount, it is the best value smartwatch. The touch bezels are a nice feature and there is a lot of customization. What I most care about it is the software update and the support. I trust more Samsung's support than other non-Apple brands.

I had gotten the watch because I was a Samsung fan so I was excited well I had it for about 6 months until one my charger broke and couldnt find any to charge it and when i did the battery would never charge, it would charge to 100 then go dead within 10 minutes, I took it off and forgot about it just before the year was up I tried to get it fixed but it wouldn't be covered, so I lost out on 400 dollors and a watch I couldn't use

I recently ordered the galaxy watch 4 and I was very excited to try it as I've had nothing but positive experiences from my old watch. However, I have found that even on power save mode with minimal use, the battery doesn't even last 24hrs. When out of power save mode the battery doesn't reach 12 hours. I was really shocked because on my old watch I can get 2 days out of one full charge. Disappointed so I'm sending it back.

We regret to see that your new Galaxy Watch4 has not been able to deliver the same superb levels of usage that made you such a fan of it's predecessor. We do recommend to make sure that you are always running the most up to date versions of software through the wearables app, to ensure that it's running at optimum performance. We do understand your decision if you would rather stick with your old watch instead, though, and do hope this does not discourage you from exploring our range again at any point in the future. ^DB at Samsung Support

Received the watch for Christmas and over the next couple of days became totally disillusioned as the battery was only lasting 6-8 hrs. Contacted Samsung support and was told to disable this and that to the point I would have been better buying an analogy watch. Sent it back to Samsung and 18 days later cannot find what is happening, it appears they have lost it. Impossible to get a straight answer from Customer Support.

This is a great watch with lovely features. However, I had the Watch Active before, which felt more sports like. For instance, on this watch, I can have only one tile for the Multi-workouts, meaning that I can only add shortcuts for 3 workouts. On the Galaxy Watch Active, I was able to add the several Multi-workouts tiles so that I could have 6 or more shortcuts. This is the only feature that I miss on this new watch.

It is a fantastic watch for the price, once you have had it for a few days the battery gets better and will last a full day with moderate use. The fitness tracking is perfect and very accurate, would buy again if needed. However the ONLY downside is you can't use the blood pressure or ECG tracking if you don't have a Samsung phone but the rest of the features work perfect. 👍🏼 Thank You Samsung.

dont buy! Software is very bad, updates are not working, does not count steps and floors, in food option is not possible to make photos or scans. Support service sending only messages synchronize your data and upload latest software, instead of "we are working on it". I been asking their help over 4 month, nothing change.

I like the watch but it fails to record heart rate in intense workout when the wrist gets sweaty. This leads to burned calories undercalculation. I notice it nearly every time when I pause the workout. For example, it shows 100 during the exercise but when I pause it the heart rate jumps to 140. I had Fitbit 4 and I have something to compare with. I am wodering if the watch can be faulty?

The battery runs out really fast. Within a day, although when you go to the battery information it says its going to last 29 to 31 hours. It never does. Another issue was that I was about to start an exercise and it wouldn't let me choose the exercise type. Had to restart the watch a couple of time until it did, and updates were all up-to-date. It looked like it bugged out of the blue.

I am regular user of Samsung Galaxy Watches since the it had launched. But this watch had really disappointed due to a very odd speaker position which make it extremely hard to heard any voice when receiving call over the watch specially if driving.

As with all new things it takes time to get to know and understand, and there are some good and some bad changes. My main disappointment at this time is not being able to access the Galaxy store for watch faces, as I had some great ones on my Active 2 watch. Great idea with customising the watch and strap, I have also got the Milanese Strap as an extra which is a great enhancer.

I've had lots of different watches in the past and this tracks much lower when I'm moving around the house. It's great at tracking when out walking and picks up the same as other devices (I've tested wearing two at a time), but when I'm at home it always comes out significantly lower. I've compared it to 3 other devices and it's the only one that comes out as low as it does.

All is great! The only one thing that really is a huge down point is the battery life. I have to charge mine twice a day as the battery life is poor. This means I either miss my step count / health record for the day, or I miss my sleep schedule records (because it's either charging at night or during the day). Very annoying. Other than that, the watch itself is great.

It's absolutely brilliant, all of the people that say the battery life is terrible haven't taken a little bit of time to configure it properly, you should turn GPS off and brightness to 45% which is fine and you will get easily 36 - 48 hours out of the battery.

I love this watch! I bought the 44mm one. This is my first smart watch and I'm super happy with it. I got the bigger one to have a bigger battery and the battery life is pretty good I don't understand the hate of it really. I can charge it up quickly and it lasts me through my sleep tracking all night and then I can get through day and charge it quickly in the evening for my next night of sleep tracking. Gives me all the notifications I want at work without me having to check my phone, tracks all my steps and tracks all my workouts with no issues. Love the body scanning feature too. Only thing I don't like is the blood pressure monitoring as you need a separate piece of equipment to make it work and that bummed me out a bit but not a deal breaker. The design is gorgeous, very sleek and simple and the screen is beautiful, bright and clear. Over all, love this watch. Looking forward to seeing more from Samsung in the future.

I have had the watch 4(44mm) for about a week. Everything has worked flawlessly, I have the Galaxy s21 5g Ultra phone. The health app is pretty accurate and has many features. Blood pressure will only read if you first calibrate with external meter first but this is not important for me. Workouts, so far have been tracked accurately. I can receive and make calls, read and respond to messages including Phone messages, WhatsApp, Messenger. Receive, read and reply to my emails using outlook which is installed on the watch. Google pay is installed also. Spotify works well or you can store music on the watch and listen without the need for third party apps. Lots of customisable watch faces including ones that you can use your own image on. The watch looks great with a clear and bright screen. I have been using the watch more than I would normally as it's a new toy and battery lasts about 1.5 days. I am very happy with this watch.

I bought this watch with my phone so I am unable to return it as now the pkg is open. But I would if I could. I love the features. But the battery only lasts a days. That's with features shut off. Such as raise to wake and no notifications of my email as I get alot of emails. I have to charge it every night which sucks as I really wanted it to track my sleep.

Functions if the watch and information available through the app is fantastic. Much better than my previous Fitbit Versa. Only let down is the battery life.

I bought a watch 4 a day ago. It's good but has flaws, you need a Samsung phone to use all the features. Samsung health monitor app isn't available on other android phones apart from Samsung.

Looks great. I switched from an active Watch 2 to a galaxy 4 Classic. It feels much more serious weight much heavier. However the sensors seems to be much more unreliable. Active 2 measures every 9 out of 10. Classic 4 measures every 3 out of 10. All other time it runs to an error. And the biggest issue is, on the event they said it runs on all android, so i pre ordered one to my son also. We heard after that, ecg, blood pressure only functions with Samsung. But we received the watch today (7 day early ???) and found out that not only ecg and blood pressure not working, but nothing works at all it fails even on the pairing. It says incompatible. (Active watch2 was working with the same phone) We tried to pair with a Sony also same result. So beware Galaxy 4 series only works with Samsung Mobile regardless what they said in the event. You can not even set up the watch without a Samsung mobile. So only buy if you own a Samsung to pair.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We love to know what you think and what features you think could be improved for future innovations. The Samsung Health Monitor app is available on Samsung phones only, running Android 7.0 or later, so you will not be able to use the blood pressure or ECG feature on other Android phones. Some other features and functions are not available with other Android devices. The Watch4 works best with Samsung phones due to the new software, WearOS, that has been developed with Google. A lot of the new features and apps allow for smoother running and integration with Google. For further help and support pairing, we recommend getting in touch and we'll happily talk you through it.

I have had my watch for 3 months at the writing of this review, during that time I quite enjoyed the novelty of the features of the watch. However despite keeping good hygiene and dryness I have ended up with marks on my skin, some of which haven't left since the first time it happened. Be wary of these possible rashes as it can result in a permanent mistextured/miscoloured area on your wrist. be wary and make sure you take you watch off every few hours, clean it and then make sure its dry before wearing it again, if in doubt add talcum powder to your wrist to ensure you dont start a sweat rash cycle. I have heard that others swapped the wrist bands and that helped, however the main body also adds to the issue. other than that issue it is a very good product, it does have its shortfalls in some respect to the apps you can use and the flexibility thats usually afforded on an android device is not that straight forward when trying to add/change apps to it.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, Ramo. We are sorry to read that you are experiencing trouble with your Watch4 due to the strap. If you are concerned about a rash or marks left by the watch, you may want to ensure you do not have any allergies that could be effected by the materials used. To find this out, you can pop in to see your doctor. Alternatively, it may be a good idea to try an alternative strap that will not cause such an effect. ^CR at Samsung Support

The battery of my Galaxy 4 would not last more than 8 hours even though I did not connect to my phone or have it all time on. I returned it to Samsung and it's been more than 2 weeks and they don't have parts for it. If you have a bad product just take onus by either giving or better product to make change or refunding the money

This watch looks pretty good aesthetically and the display is clear and bright. It does everything a smartwatch should do. I subtracted a star because there are some options that are unavailable if you don't have a Samsung smartphone and the battery life isn't really good but the same is true for the majority of smartwatches.

The water resistance feature is poor and it's not made clear that you can't use the watch when swimming in a chlorine pool. There is even an indoor swimming feature on the watch which would indicate you can swim with it in your average chlorine indoor pool, apparently it is only advised to swim in fresh water with the watch.

Nice design, easy to see the time and good selection of faces. It appears to be designed to emulatee a phone, yet its too small for all the functions that are available. Everything done by swiping and touching which is easy to get wrong. It battery life is poor as it discharges in a day. Overall not impressed.

Ive had this since october 2021. I wear it maybe twice a month. Have most of the features off to save batteries, still doesn't last a full day (0600-2000). Charging from dead takes hours. Around the screen scuffs crazy easily. Honestly it's not worth my time to remember to put it on. Would not buy it again.

I'm NOT very impressed with the watch my last watch the battery lasted a week, this watch must be charged every day witch is not very convenient for me I either have to charge it at night or during the day,I need to have it on at all times so as I said not very impressed and definitely not worth the money.

Samsung UK Reviews Team

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us regarding your Watch4 battery. We are sorry to read that so far you are not impressed with the length of charge you are getting, however, we would like to put your mind at ease. Please be aware that for the initial period of use after purchase, it is normal for the watch to use more battery, this is in large part due to the additional use it will get while you are exploring and learning all the new features and settings. The watch will also use this time to learn your usage patterns, such as your most used apps and when you are more active on the watch throughout the day. Once it has this information, it will self adapt and optimise the battery to suit you personally. If you have had the watch for more than two weeks, and have not seen an improvement with the battery, please start by following this handy guide on watch battery optimisation: https://spr.ly/6420ZG5F0. Should you continue to feel the watch is not performing as well as expected, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Support Team, who will be happy to provide further guidance. You can find all our contact methods and their operating hours here: https://spr.ly/6421ZG5FF. ^CR at Samsung Support

I switched from a 44mm Galaxy Active 2 to a 40mm Watch 4 and am using it with a Samsung S21. My main concern over the past week of owning it is the battery life, I'm struggling to get 24 hours on the watch and that's without any workouts, not using the ECG or blood pressure and having the screen off after 15 seconds. My Watch 2 used to have at least 30% battery left using it for the same things as this watch after 24 hours. It doesn't bode well for the future, especially with plans to use it more for exercise. There is also no way of changing the background on the watch like the Active 2 so it's black and boring. The watch face is fine as got a third party app from Google and it's great but the background is frustrating. Why can't I do this Samsung? The other thing I've noticed is that the images sent to me on What's App don't want to show. It does have some great features to the watch but right now I'm struggling to justify to myself why I bought it as I miss the Active 2.

For the first day or two, the battery life was very concerning! However, the watch must take a couple of days to learn usage patterns as it has settled into a similar battery life as the Active 2. The move to Wear OS, slight aesthetic improvement and additional sensor make it a reasonable improvement.

Completely useless. Does not read the steps correctly or even the body indices. With phone in pocket and watch on hand there is a difference of 2 miles in distance walked and underreports the steps. My old watch 2 was much better than this. Complete waste of money for an expensive piece of technology

Disappointing watch and extremely poor service. Did not get a charging cable which everyone gets for free so I had to buy it as contacting Samsung did not get me anywhere so I gave up and brought it instead. Had 4 different delivery dates for watch and poor battery life too. Would not buy again.

Love this watch. It looks stylish and is comfortable to wear. Only downside is battery life. After charging overnight, by the end of the day, battery is either completely drained or around 3%. Features say track your sleep but no way would battery life allow this if you wear it during the day.

My phone is Samsung s21u(China version), however, it cannot be connected to watch 4(UK version). I asked the supporter if these two devices can pair before I bought the watch, and they said, yes. Is that because the UK version watch is not announced ,so it cannot be connected?

To be useful for providing any interest for a patient to his doctor it has to be more accurate. Event the sleep chart does not have time marks . Pulse shows range of heart rate for each 15 min period where other watches are better at producing a continuous line graph.

The battery only last 24 hours. Wise up Samsung this is 2022 not 2002. Provide your customers with proper battery life all your competitors provide at least 7 days and some are half your price. I will be selling my purchase on at half price to get rid of this rubbish

I recently purchased this watch as a treat to myself as this was the version I could get with trade in for my current Watch Active 2. Went through the Galaxy Watch Design studio to get the watch in silver with a navy strap (S/M) Watch arrived and looked slick only to my surprise the silver watch strap was M/L which is too big and makes the watch unwearable. Big disappointment especially as I requested straps in S/M. Rang Online Shop Support for assistance and advice or to exchange only to be bounced to technical support and back to online support where the phone went dead and I was cut off. Never had an issue with Samsung before as bought plenty of products from them but this was poor and disappointing. More so frustrating as if I didn't have the spare strap and paid extra, I'd have a brand new watch that I couldn't wear, which is still in it's box as debating it's return. If the strap is standard, it should be clearer on the website. Something for other wearers to bear in mind... shame as the watch itself looks great.
