This is by far the most through review of this watch I can find. The discussion about notifications, speaker quality, extra features, etc. was very informative and hard to find elsewhere. Thank you!
Can I just say this is by far the best review I've ever seen on TH-cam. Usually peopke just sit in front of the screen and babble on for too long while opening the box. Well done and I'm saving up for one of these watches now!
No kidding. This is the end of week one for me... And being able to get my reminders, calendar events, txt/email/calls, makes my artflow much more focused. Also... I just added music to the watch, and connected my Bluetooth headset directly to the watch... And now I'm able to go from workstation to workstation without thinking about range from phone. This thing is incredible.
Samsung watch line has a lot of potential to become even better maybe even surpassing the Apple watch series that highly popular. 1. App eyscosytem- This the main issue Samsung needs to approve on with their smartwatches. The galaxy watch needs a lot better app support, Apple watch does this better. 2. Fitness/Health- Things like step count, heart rate, and etc need improvement this is where the Apple watch out shines the galaxy watch. 3. Google assistant- Google assist would be an fantastic addition over Bixby as a option. 4. Color Options- It would be cool if Samsung added more color options like blue, red, yellow, and etc OS Tizen, design , battery, always on display, water resistant, addictive gimmick rotating bezel, and features Galaxy watch dominates the Apple series watch in these areas in my book. I hope we'll see these improvements with the galaxy watch 2, if Samsung decides to realse the watch along with their anniversary phones the s10 and note 10 next year in 2019.
I still rock my rose gold s2 just because the smaller size galaxy watch still looks kinda bulky for my child size wrist, not to mention the black doesn't look feminine or have a "classy" or "elegant" look and I already own a rose gold color🙄😒.
I don't own apple watch but at peace the size looks like they kept it the same as day one, what kills it for me is that geeky square body and their damn prices!
I love this watch cause it does EVERYTHING, like phone, and its great if you have ocd, like me and you check if you didnt forget your phone all the time And you actually have your "phone" on your hand all the time
A friend of mine gave me his old Galaxy Watch when he made the switch from Android to iOS. I used it for a couple of weeks and was amazed at the battery life. I ended up getting the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm version in silver.
BEST review of this watch I have seen so far (and, I’ve seen a lot as I research if this is the watch for me)!! I now feel like I will be much more informed of the strengths and weaknesses when I finally make my purchase. Also, so good to see that the floors climbed seems to be fixed now. Thank you!!
Wow, what a great review. I love my rose gold Galaxy watch, but I learned some useful tips from your review, thanks! Looks like you should use the shorter length band that should have come with the watch. About my only complaint about the watch is that it misses quite a few steps compared to a pedometer that i also carry. I think the rose gold watch looks great on men and women, although I have purchased some darker bands.
I really want one! Especially since I'm in school and they don't let us have our phones out, this would be really beneficial for a lot of things! I could also stay in contact with my mom as well in case of ANY emergency. I would love one of these and this video is really helpful!
I LOVE the watch, the style and the amazing array of faces you can download are stunning. Only downside is the tracking is terrible compared to the Fitbit. Steps are anywhere from 30 - 50% short and almost 95% on the stairs. Other tests have confirmed this. But again love the features, it just sucks for tracking, but the Fitbits just don't look good in my opinion.
Can you turn off the vibratiom/sound when a notification comes? It's very important to me because if itdoes make a sound and i cant change it, my teacher will take it away and I won't be able to use it at school
Makes a great secondary/tertiary device. Between my Note 9, Galaxy Tab S4, and Galaxy Watch, my device stable has never been so well-rounded and complete. They individually cover every need that I have on a daily basis and using them in conjunction really allows for great functionality. I really enjoy the watch as a health/fitness and emergency device. It's nice to not always need to bring a phone when I leave the house anymore, especially for exercise.
Would you consider the 46mm galaxy watch or the galaxy gear s3 frontier? I am upgrading from the Gear s2 and not sure what I want to upgrade to. Any suggestions Thao?
Hi, I just got the Rose Gold one for Christmas and your review was the first one I came across and loved. I really would like to change the band out and I really liked the look of the black band you showed at 1:22. Could you share what brand that was and where you got it? Thank you.
@@HizzatulAHemal there's no official WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger app but there's a third party app called W-History and M-History app which let's you read old messages "since you got the watch", not older messages and you can't send new messages but you can reply to new messages from the notification. This is it until official apps are released
You have done the BEST review of the Galaxy Watch by far!!! I've been doing a lot of research to figure out which Android smartwatch to buy now that I switched from an iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 cell phone. I've watched several videos on all different kinds of smart watches, including the Galaxy watch, and yours is the best review because it is so comprehensive and detailed and shows lots of demonstrations as well as descriptions. And you have good humor too LOL. Thank you very much! Because of your video, I have pretty much made up my mind to get this watch. Thank you! I just ordered a Galaxy watch last night and I'm waiting for it to come in through Amazon so I was just wondering.
@@jennifermcfarland4527 I loved it! I did become concerned about emf radiation so I returned it. I may get it again and use a radiation absorption sticker underneath. Awesome watch though!
How about the whatsaap call notification?? Its works?? Because i just recit missed call whatsaap notification only. how to activeted whatsaap call notification? Coz i think its important for to know call us?
Planning to get this for my mom. Do you think its friendly for older people? She used a fitbit before and uses a samsung s9. Any recommendations if i should get this or not for her? Thank you
I would rather find it better if samsung kept the "Gear" name for their smartwatch line-up so that it will stay inline with the other accessories in the Gear line-up like the Gear Sport, Gear Fit, Gear 360, Gear VR and Gear Icon X. I also like the "Samsung Gear" name for their smartwatches because it sounds more unique compare to the Apple Watch, Huawei Watch and etc.
I love your videos. Very informative and I feel like you truly experience your devices before reviewing. Your videos are fun, very helpful and cater to those like me who want to know tips, tricks and reviews without all the super nitty gritty info and computer language that I don't understand lol.
So question so if I wanted to buy one I should get the 46mm one like your husband has I'm feeling 💯 sure to that one so it has longer battery life then
Just bought this for my missus for valentine's Day, just waiting for her to get home from work to give it to her 😂, your video was very helpful thank you, new subscriber 😉
Any suggestions for a lightweight stylish fitness tracker? I wanted a smart watch but haven't worn a watch for 20+ yrs. Needs to be Android compatible. Any suggestions?
Thank you for all the information you provided in this video. I actually watched it 5 times before I bought mine. I've been looking for the "Gear Navigation" app you mentioned and cannot find it. Is it possible for you to link it in the description?
So how does this LTE stuff works? Does that mean i can somehow connect to my simcard all time so i can receive calls and messages? I'm looking for this LTE version just because of that, is there any catch?
Can i ask you in the watch active 2 you can try and change the background with the color of your clothes etc can you do that with this one two and can you pay contactless with this samsung watch or the one active 2 m
I love your reviews. So I just subscribed. One tip to add to your watch reviews are alarm capabilities. How strong is the vibration, or loudness etc. 😀😀
Hi, is the lack of 3rd party apps actually a problem? Are there some apps that you would like to be offered? I consider a smartwatch a companion to the phone. (I don't own a galaxy watch but I am thinking of getting one).
With only a few choices on smartwatch today, I think the Galaxy Watch shows that Samsung can do it. I hope Galaxy Watch 2 next year can add the whole black finish on 46 mm version, I don't like silver mixing with black bezel. Besides, I'd like to see USB-C port on the watch charger, improved Bixby assistant and more third-party apps. Finally, I want the MST support back to Galaxy Watch 2.
id like a compare between this watch and a garmin fenix 3 in terms of activity tracking. looking for a second watch to use to give my fenix 3 a rest and change it up a bit. but i love my 1 week battery with the fenix 3
You can make calls with the Bluetooth version only if your phone is within Bluetooth range. If you want to make calls without having your phone on you, you need the LTE version
Miss Thao, i just bought mine yesterday and i dont know why i cant view photos sent to me through whatsapp and facebook messenger..your help would be much appreciated..love lots 🥰
Hey Thao! Finally picked up the 42mm Galaxy watch! Would you recommend getting a screen protector for it or does the bezel provide enough protection for most cases?

The rotating bezel
Faceplates
I like it when it tracks my sleep. My day starts off on the right foot when it tells me I had a good night's rest. 😻
It does a great job tracking my bike rides and walks in the neighborhood. Plus I enjoy finding new watch faces.
She's so underrated it hurts
I know 😂 her videos are so good!!

I bought the 46mm model a week ago and I already couldn't live without it.
Why
No kidding. This is the end of week one for me... And being able to get my reminders, calendar events, txt/email/calls, makes my artflow much more focused.
Also... I just added music to the watch, and connected my Bluetooth headset directly to the watch... And now I'm able to go from workstation to workstation without thinking about range from phone.

It's already better than Apple watch. I mean, what kind of a hipster would wear a square watch.
I wouldn't say the rotating bezel is a gimmick.
@@XploreAz
Agree
Ya know, I've only just stumbled across your channel. But your reviews seem honest, simple and down to earth.
I've subbed 😃
This review gave me the green light on this product. I love my Samsung phone and the watch is a perfect match to my busy lifestyle. Thanks so much! 💜

That was the PERFECT video!! I have been doing a lot of research and watched many videos. This was by far the best. Totally made up my mind.
I'm so glad that you found my video useful. I hope you enjoy the watch as much as I do! Thanks for watching 😊.
So you need to be paired to a phone to get the full benefit?
My love for watches has resurrected 😭❤ ahh I want this.

Is the strap tricky? It's always popping up on your wrist.
Can we answer the call on galaxy watch(no lte version model) if it is connected to Iphone??
Bought one yesterday! Should be arriving today!!!
Does bluetooth version have speaker as well?
Hi question is the Samsung Galaxy watch 42mm can receive calls? Thanks

Same here. Its $50 off at Best Buy right now.

Can you turn off the vibratiom/sound when a notification comes? It's very important to me because if itdoes make a sound and i cant change it, my teacher will take it away and I won't be able to use it at school
I just ordered one I can't wait to play with it and learn all of the features. Any suggestions on what to do first?
This is hands down the best review out there!!
Can you actually view a Google map on the watch or only the turn by turn navigation?

Do you have both the black and gold watch? Where do you get your bands from? You have an Amazon link?

You think they'll add apps as it goes along?
My husband and I have the exact same watches as you and your husband 😂 Love your reviews!!

Is that something Samsung offers gold galaxy watch? Or is that custom?

Do you think Bixby will recieve an update?
Let's hope it does...
The Quick Start Guide has a disclaimer about Bixby being limited at launch, so it appears that Samsung plans updates.
I hate Bixby
I think Samsung will update it soon.
Will you be comparing this with the new Active2?
Omg I just bought that watch yesterday 🤣 can't wait to try!

Hi Thao. Great vid again. Can I ask what camera you use to shoot the video? It's really crisp! Greetings from London, England. :)
Hey Thao! Finally picked up the 42mm Galaxy watch! Would you recommend getting a screen protector for it or does the bezel provide enough protection for most cases?
I've gone screen protectorless since launch and no damage at all. The bezel should be more than enough imo.
Does it support Alexa? And dose it have any free music apps support?
