The smaller screen size doesn't have the same battery life as the larger Galaxy Watch
There's no doubt the Samsung Galaxy Watch is a good-looking smartwatch that will perform as well as an Apple Watch in many aspects. But its design is similar to the last two Gear watches, and a rebranding can't hide that.We also don't know how much the 4G...

The Apple Watch Series 3 is a marvellous device that deservedly rules the wearables space. (We'd recommend the GPS model, though, since cellular ups the price and lowers battery life.) It looks superb, has a good range of third-party apps and after a few...

The new Samsung Galaxy Watch is pushing smartwatches to look like real watches and last more than a day. It nails the look and feel even if it hasn't changed much from the Gear S3, and comes in two sizes for broader appeal...

The Samsung Galaxy Watch features a lovely, premium build quality with some great design details, including a rotating bezel on top of the display which really is a delight to use.It's chunky, some may even say bulky, but the Galaxy Watch is a solid devic...
Abstract: Sadly, this functionality never actually made it to the UK version of the Gear S3, but the company has promised it’s “working with carriers around the world”, so fingers crossed we’ll see this much-needed feature added to the Galaxy Watch in Blighty.Where...
Abstract: As expected, Samsung introduced a new Galaxy Watch at its Galaxy Note 9 event this morning in New York.The new watch marks a break from Samsung's original Gear line of watches and appears designed to rival the next Apple Watch and Google's expected Wear O...

No integrated GPS, Poor Bixby experience,
The Samsung Galaxy silver bluetooth sm r800nzsaxar pretty much nailed it with this watch. The options are varied and good looking, and the rotating bezel-controlled Tizen OS software, makes it easy to use. Customization is self-explanatory and functional...

There's no doubt in my mind that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G is pretty much the best smartwatch out there, especially if you're an Android user. Sure, Apple users can't ignore the Apple Watch, now with the Series 5 (review) and WatchOS 6 offering ECG capa...

Has a premium look and feel, Great rotating bezel approach, Strong AMOLED screen, Incredible battery life, Speedy performance
The 46mm model is very large, Bixby is a spotty voice assistant, Not most comfortable for all fitness, Limited app ecosystem
A very strong smartwatch.There's a lot to like about Samsung's Galaxy Watch, from the traditional styling to the smart rotating bezel, sharp screen, and fantastic battery life. On the flip side, the large 46mm model feels a bit overbearing on even a large...
