In a bid to change that, Samsung and Google partnered up to create Wear OS 4 and, with it, the Galaxy Watch 4. And, in a few words? It\u2019s a beautiful Frankenstein monster. And, the best Wear OS watch yet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The best Wear OS watch yet<\/li>\n<li>Wear OS apps!<\/li>\n<li>Runs super smooth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Samsung apps required for non-Samsung phones<\/li>\n<li>Not all features work on non-Samsung phones<\/li>\n<li>Bixby only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And I\u2019m not kidding about the Frankenstein monster bit. For the past year, I\u2019ve been swapping between a Wear OS watch and a Samsung Galaxy Active 2. If it seems odd that I keep switching, it\u2019s because I\u2019ve never been totally satisfied with either. Wear OS has better apps overall, but it\u2019s slow and clunky, and I like the Tizen interface better. Now that I\u2019ve been using the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic edition, I can\u2019t help but see how it\u2019s a product of both. It\u2019s like Wear OS and Tizen had a baby, and the final product is (mostly) better for its parentage. Especially thanks to the new inclusion of Fibit via Wear OS.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_Love_a_Smartwatch_That_Looks_Like_a_Watch\"><\/span>I Love a Smartwatch That Looks Like a Watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98836 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/c8f16d3b.jpg\" alt=\"A closeup of the Galaxy Watch 4 with a leather band.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It looks great with a leather band. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The new Galaxy Watch 4 comes in two flavors, the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 4 classic. Internally they\u2019re the same watch, but externally they diverge. The plain Watch 4 serves as a successor to the Galaxy Active 2, while the Classic is closer to a Galaxy Watch 3. That means the Classic gets a rotating bezel to navigate the interface, along with the same swipe gestures, and the case is\u00a0upgraded to stainless steel. They also come in different sizes, with the Galaxy Watch 4 offering 40 and 44 mm options, while the Classic comes in 42 and 46 mm sizes instead.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking at the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic for this review, specifically a 42 mm model. Because the\u00a0internal memory, processor, sensors, and user interface are all the same, most of this review could cover both models. But the rotating bezel is worth spending a moment on because it serves as the true differentiator.<\/p>\n<p>The bezel comes with two distinct benefits over the standard Watch 4. The first is that it makes the watch a little thicker. Now that\u2019s usually a bad thing, but hear me out. The bezel rests atop the display and so, in essence, acts as a protective barrier. It\u2019s like the lip on a phone case preventing the display from touching every surface. As often as I clumsily bang my arm (and watch) into every door frame and random object I walk by, there\u2019s something to be said for any extra protection.<\/p>\n<p>The other benefit is, of course, navigation. Rather than a swipe from the left or right edges of the display, you can turn the bezel left or right. I\u2019m not sure that it\u2019s any easier than just swiping, especially because you still need to swipe for up and down gestures in many places. The bezel spins fluidly, but there\u2019s a pleasant clink to both the feel and sound of it, too. It reminds me of the noise a bike makes when you stop pedaling and just coast. It\u2019s super satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s also probably not necessary. You\u2019ll spend $100 more for the bezel and stainless steel materials, and that feels like a lot extra to pay when everything else is the same. That includes the gorgeous display\u2014and I do mean gorgeous. The Galaxy Watch 4 packs an AMOLED screen, and Samsung does a great job making it bright and vivid. It looks even better than my Galaxy Active 2, which feels washed out in comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, whether you get the standard or Classic, you end up with a smartwatch that looks very much like a standard watch. It\u2019s round like it should be, and uses traditional 20 mm, quick release bands. So grab a nice leather band, and it\u2019ll look that much more like a regular watch, which fits my preferences. Even the two control buttons add to the look, but we\u2019ll talk more about those in a bit.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Wear_OS_or_Tyzen_Why_Not_Both\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Is It Wear OS or Tyzen?

This watch runs Wear OS 3 with One UI, basically, an upgrade OS developed in collaboration with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/83577\/samsung-google-fitbit-team-up-to-make-wear-os-watches-suck-less\/\">Google, Samsung, and Fitbit. The One UI comes directly from Samsung, and other Wear OS 3 watches won\u2019t look quite the same.<\/p>\n<p>On the Galaxy Watch 4, some things work like Wear OS, others like Tizen, and a few things are totally new. Take navigation, for instance. Swipe to the right, and you\u2019ll get a Tyzen-like notification page instead of Google Assistant. You won\u2019t find Google Assistant at all, a glaring omission compared to other Wear OS devices, but Samsung says that\u2019ll arrive on the watch eventually. Swipe to the right, and you\u2019ll get to tiles that look like a cross between Wear OS tiles and Tizen widgets.<\/p>\n<p>Swipe to the bottom pane, and you finally get the first true indicator that this is a Wear OS watch\u2014Wear OS apps. You can navigate existing apps here and even install apps directly on the watch; no phone required. It\u2019s fast and easy, and hallelujah for that because installing apps on Wear OS watches used to be a giant pain. Neither Tizen nor Wear OS had apps in this location, but I think it\u2019s an improvement over both.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98857 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/5f12d9c7.jpg\" alt=\"A Galaxy Watch 4 with Wear OS apps on the screen\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wear OS Apps! On a Galaxy Watch! <span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But here\u2019s where things get tricky. You see, this is a Samsung watch, although you can use it with any Android phone. However, you can\u2019t use it with iOS (unlike previous Wear OS and Samsung watches), but I\u2019m not sure who would do that anyway. And even on Android, not every feature works on non-Samsung phones. As I mentioned above, even though it\u2019s a Wear OS device, you currently can\u2019t use Google Assistant. You\u2019re stuck with Bixby. Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>Using the Galaxy Watch with a non-Samsung phone requires installing several apps. I already use the Galaxy Watch Active 2 with my OnePlus phone, so I thought I was good to go. But to my surprise, I still had to install more apps to make the new Galaxy Watch 3 work. And even more surprisingly, I can\u2019t install all the apps I need to make every feature work.<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Watch 4 offers\u00a0electrocardiogram (ECG) scans, but I can\u2019t use it. Any attempt to launch the watch app prompts me to install the Samsung Health Monitor app on my phone. But that\u2019s only available in the Galaxy app store, and no, you can\u2019t sideload to get around the problem. (The store only runs on Samsung phones.) You\u2019ll hit other weird limitations, like Google Pay. You can install it on the watch, and it opens, but I couldn\u2019t get it to add cards to my watch. It always errored out.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Google Pay did work correctly, it\u2019d be inconvenient to use. You can press and hold the bottom hardware key if you want to launch Samsung Pay (which works fine, honestly). But you can\u2019t remap that function to any other app. This means if Google Pay ever does work, you\u2019ll have to launch it by scrolling to it in the app list.<\/p>\n<p>So, you have Wear OS apps but also duplicate Samsung apps. And some of the Wear OS apps are just missing or don\u2019t work. But, at least you get Wear OS watch faces, which is an improvement over Tizen. And overall, this crossbreed is better than its parentage. Tizen has always lacked apps or even great watch face options. Wear OS is famously slow, thanks to both the software and underpowered processors. But the Galaxy Watch 4 gets you Tizen polish, Wear OS apps, and speeds that don\u2019t quit thanks to the\u00a0Exynos W920 chipset and 1.5GB of RAM. I\u2019ve never experienced so much as a stutter on the Galaxy Watch 4, and that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oh_and_Fitbit_Too\"><\/span>Oh, and Fitbit, Too!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98853 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/09\/d0def3a7.jpg\" alt=\"A closeup of a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 with sleep data.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Josh Hendrickson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Josh Hendrickson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Galaxy Watch 4 isn\u2019t a fitness watch, but it still does fitness like most smartwatches. And fitness is one area where the hybrid Wear OS Tizen Samsung Google monster benefits because Google owns Fitbit. It may not be immediately apparent that the Galaxy Watch 4 has Fitbit tech baked in because you still head to the Samsung Wear app to look at your stats but squint, and you\u2019ll see it.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at the graphs in the screenshots below, they have Samsung stylings to them but ignore the colors; you\u2019ll see a distinct resemblance to Fitbit graphs. The Galaxy Watch 4 has a heart rate sensor (the bare minimum these days), along with the motion sensors, ECG, and SP02.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I managed to dislocate my left elbow during a parkour training session just before my watch review unit arrived, so I haven\u2019t been able to test the features extensively. The \u201cother workout\u201d you see in the screenshot above is my 8-year-old wearing the watch during one of his parkour lessons. The truth is, the sensor is probably \u201caccurate \u201d enough, and what matters is that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/85260\/your-smartwatch-probably-sucks-at-step-tracking-and-thats-okay\/\">you use it consistently and pay attention to the numbers over time.<\/p>\n<p>But overall, the Galaxy Watch 4 is the best Galaxy Watch for fitness yet, solely because it benefits from Fitbit knowhow and has access to WearOS apps like Strava and Google Fit. More choice is always a good thing. But as I noted above, to get the most out if you\u2019ll need to use a Samsung phone. ECG doesn\u2019t work without it.<\/p>\n<p>You can, at least, use the body composition feature with any Android phone. I wouldn\u2019t put too much stock into it. It works like smart scales by sending an electrical signal through your body to guestimate skeletal muscle, body water, fat mass, and the like. However, you have to provide your weight since it\u2019s not a scale, which means it\u2019s only as accurate as the information you provide it.<\/p>\n<p>And even that might be generous. It works by wearing your watch on your left arm (sorry, people who prefer right arm watches), turning your right-hand face up, and touching the two contact buttons with your middle and ring finger. Then you lift your elbows away from your body and wait. But here\u2019s the thing, even the watch admits that simple things like your arms touching your sides or positioning can change the result. I measured three times in a row and got a different result each time. Take it with a grain of salt, and don\u2019t depend on it.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Wear_OS_Watch_by_Default\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">The Best Wear OS Watch by Default<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So overall, how is the Galaxy Watch 4? Well, hands down, it\u2019s the best Wear OS watch you can buy right now. But that\u2019s not saying much, because it\u2019s also the only Wear OS watch you should buy. The rest of the field is held back by weak processors and old software. Nothing can compete.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, I\u2019m not sure what could in the future. Samsung\u2019s processor can keep up and even shine on Wear OS, and it remains to be seen if the upcoming Snapdragon 4100+ will finally catch up. But I wouldn\u2019t get my hopes up on that end.<\/p>\n<p>But for all the praise I can heap on the Galaxy Watch 4, it\u2019s ultimately \u201cbest on Samsung,\u201d and that\u2019s unfortunate. You might think that\u2019s a new issue, but the previous Galaxy Watch didn\u2019t have quite so many limitations or require quite so many different apps. Don\u2019t get me wrong; I\u2019d still recommend this watch over the Galaxy Watch 3 as Wear OS brings a lot to the table.<\/p>\n<p>But I can\u2019t help but long for a pure Wear OS watch with Samsung\u2019s processor. I might even pay extra for that.<\/p>\n<p>As for which Galaxy Watch 4 you should get, that one is a little more difficult to answer. The rotating bezel and stainless steel probably don\u2019t justify the extra $100 the Classic model demands when you get down to it. Logically, that\u2019s just the truth. But if you have the $100, if you don\u2019t mind spending the extra money, you won\u2019t hate yourself for it. That rotating bezel is like the ultimate fidget spinner right on your wrist. It\u2019s so satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, if you want a Wear OS watch right now, this is the one to get.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\nRating: <strong>8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price: <strong>$399-$429<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The best Wear OS watch yet<\/li>\n<li>Wear OS apps!<\/li>\n<li>Runs super smooth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Samsung apps required for non-Samsung phones<\/li>\n<li>Not all features work on non-Samsung phones<\/li>\n<li>Bixby only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
