✌️ Hi everyone! What's your experience with the Galaxy watch been like? 🛒 Ringke Bezel Styling for Galaxy Watch 46mm - geni.us/woMggy0 Ringke Bezel Styling for Galaxy Watch 42m - geni.us/wFAXs
I'm still loving my rose gold Galaxy Watch ❤️ I bought it in December and I wear it every day. It works just the same as it did the day I bought it. And the battery life is still good. I also have zero scuffs or scratches. Such a great purchase! The review you did last year made me wanna buy it lol
I purchased my watch in October 2018. I love my watch. It took some getting used to cause it was my 1st smart watch (big). My favorite thing is buying/changing the watch bands to match my outfit of the day. I wear it almost daily. I wear it when I work out and I wear it to work. I am a RN. So, I wash my hands often. After about 6 months in, I had to send the watch in for repair. The back cover consists of a thin plastic wafer that's similar to the clear plastic covers you'll find on most packaging of products that are sold in your local stores. Well, after 6 months that plastic wafer began to slide off. It is glued on. The glue was jelly like and no longer had the ability to hold the wafer in place. I even let it sit for a few days hoping that it would harden and stick again. No such luck. I ended up losing the plastic piece all together. Then it wasn't able to hold a charge and finally it just stopped turning on at all. So, I arranged to have it sent to Samsung for repair. Samsung sends me a bill for $71 for the repair. Needless to say, I kindly let them know that they're not charging me for their poor design. Not to mention, it's still under warranty. After going back and forth with this, they decided not to charge me for the repair. They stated that the damage was cosmetic and not covered under the warranty. They also threw in the old "water damage". Then they tried to say maybe I dropped it. They tried it. What you won't do is charge me a repair fee on a water resistant watch still under a one year warranty after 6 months of owning it. I'm not sure if it was the warm temps/sweat from the workouts and or the constant washing of my hands, but both would get the back of the watch wet often. I think gluing that plastic on the back is a definite design flaw on Samsung's part. Why not have a whole back piece that snaps on as a whole. Once that wafer comes off, the watch is exposed. Still love my watch though.
I'm still loving my rose gold galaxy watch! It still works flawlessly looks brand new! I have that same custom bezel on my watch and it's holding up well. 👍
Got mine 4 days ago, so far i'm loving it! I especially love the widgets to count water and calorie intake, making calls on it was surprisingly good and convenient. The built in storage for music is definitely the feature i'm looking forward to using the most(So i can go for a run outside without carrying my phone) , just gotta wait for the weather to get better haha.
I got a 46mm Dec 2018, flawless so far and got my wife a 42mm in March 2019 which she is enjoying also. Four thumbs up here, and your review had helped me to make my initial purchase!
John, Here I have had my 46mm for about 6 months and I love it. The heart rate sensor is a bit iffy when exercising but the automatic step counting is fantastic. I use an app called "Flashlight", sounds too simple but it makes just enough light to get around without waking your partner. The one-swipe to whether I used 2-5 times a day and I take at least 2 calls a day on it. I am glad I did not buy the LTE version. As always, great video Thao.
Thanks to your amazing review of this watch I went out and got my own. Got a great sale at xmas. I love it. Not having to pull out my phone every two seconds is great. Was awesome at the movie theater cause it did shine brightly like my phone would have if I had to check it. 6mths and going strong. Love love love.
Still rocking my gear s3 frontier, I had for a year and half now. The update to tizen 4.0 gave new life to the watch. I hope the galaxy watch 2 will be worth the upgrade.
G'day from Australia Thao 😁🇦🇺 You've talked me into getting the Galaxy Watch, I'll go with the 46mm as you pointed out, it has a better battery life. Thanks again for your videos they truly are helpful 👍
Did this watch come out with an update allowing to view a history of text messages, and initiate a text from it yet? I'm between this watch, and the new active 2 because of that part in particular.
I'm a recent Samsung Convert...lol... I've been with HTC for over 12 years but with them dying out and going completely silent and not even supporting their current devices, I had to leave them. I couldn't take it anymore. Then I went to LG and was thoroughly disappointed. I didn't get the same excitement like I did with HTC and LG is extremely slothful with....... everything. Left them too. I've stayed away from Samsung because I thought they were overrated and I didn't want to be a part of the crowd but they were basically my only other easily accessible option. Now I have the S10+ and got the Galaxy Watch to go along with it. HTC never offered in-house smart watches so I didn't see the value at first but now... I'm a total convert. When my watch isn't on my wrist I feel naked. The S10+ is probably the best phone I've ever had minus the T-Mobile Sidekick Line. They will always have a special place in my heart. And I am loving my Galaxy Watch even more with the recent One UI update. Can't wait for it's successor.
I find the HRM tends to miss reading the strap isn't tight enough and that is usually because the strap stretches when it gets warm . So I tend to go 1 or 2 notches tighter than is comfortable when mountain biking so when it gets warm it feels right.
Your initial review on the watch and this update video are so clear and honest as to what the pros and cons are - so so helpful. Thank you for such awesome coverage! (Also fellow Canadian here :D)
ive had this since it came out and have had no issues with it. its a nice companion for my phone and is very functional... its probably almost 2-3 years old but its held up good. not plannig on upgrading anytime soon still in love with it
I love my Galaxy Watch. I wear it daily since it came out last year❤ the only issue that I have with the watch is that it sometimes loses track of my heart rate while exercising. Mostly it annoys me during my HIIT sessions.
I noticed that too when I had one and it was annoying. One thing I would recommend is tightening the band if possible. I noticed if I made it a little tighter or used a sport loop it couldn't slide as much and would work a little better.
If you used to use Apple Watch before, then show that you are using Galaxy Watch with iPhone, right? I am using the iPhone and want to know if you use the Galaxy Watch with the iPhone. Is there any problem? I heard that I can't buy the watch face and the app. Is there a solution?
@@finiar.g Golf Nattapong hey there,at first I used my apple watch with iPhone obviously, then I got galaxy watch and paired it with iPhone. I didn't have any problem,with the right settings you can answer calls aswel.And I did download watch faces on galaxy.
I am using Galaxy Watch with iPhone 6s Plus. First one I had was returned to vendor as it had a defective battery and lots of problems syncing with iPhone. New one was sent out within 3days and works well, and syncs on first try. Battery lasts about 3.5 days. To get new watch faces go to search feature after connecting watch to wifi, and yes you can’t purchase new ones. Good watch and much cheaper than Apple Watch, and new face choices are great.
Cheers for the update I'm lucky mine is still going strong no problems but I don't go to the gym so not used for the fitness my ringke bezel still looks new .So pleased with my galaxy watch I have the LTE version and love that I don't need to take my phone with me all the time . Would love it if they could make the next watch thinner and it's a bit chunky
I've had my 46mm Galaxy Watch since October 2018 and it is worn daily without exception. I love the fact I don't charge mine as often as the wife's 42mm. Also, recently inherited a Rolex upon my father's death didn't mean a thing! That watch stays in a protected sheath obviously for sentimental reasons. I used to be a watch collector having several models which now remain in their boxes. I cannot see owning and wearing another watch which does so much and my days of collecting watches are over. And similarly with my Note 9 and this watch, I think I'm good for mobile & watch for at least the next 2 years.
I've owned the 1st galaxy watch, the gear s3, and now the active. I have to say I enjoy the active the most but I feel Samsung has done a great job with all their watches and cant wait to see what the future holds for wearable tech.
Hey you! Great video. I’ve only had mine a month and have had to send it off for repair. The Heartrate was set to always on but it kept freezing and would only track it again when I rebooted the phone. It’s happened several times so knew there was an issue. I’ve had it back a day and it’s been ok so far. I also own an apple series 4 watch and a Garmin 645 music. I notice the calories burned and steps taken seem to be a lot lower on the galaxy watch than on the other two devices so I don’t think the fitness monitoring side is the Galaxy’s strong point. Do you notice something similar? I don’t know which device to wear the most. The Garmin is fantastic for my running and has a great app but the screen on the galaxy and the rotating bezel is far better than the Garmin screen sadly. I’m in a dilemma! Haha. Love the vids. Keep em coming please. :-)
Thank you for your review I just ordered mine through AT&T and was considering getting the active 2 but decided this one was better it's not my first smartwatch because I have the Michael kors Bradshaw but it doesnt really sync the best with my phone so I cant wait to have all Samsung products soon.
I want to buy my first smartwatch and I'm having second thoughts of buying this because it looks big. My wrist is 18cm circumference, what about yours?
I've got the Samsung Gear S3 Classic with LTE. I love the rose gold Galaxy Watch and smaller size. But, I cannot give up Samsung Pay, and I worry that the battery life on a smaller LTE version of the watch will be a real downgrade. That said, I love my S3. The One UI update is awesome. I love my watch even more. Thao, your review of it would be awesome. I'm sure you have found some hidden features that I missed.
Good video. I got the 46mm myself and I absolutely love it. Luckily no repairs were needed so far and I hope it stays like that for the future. p.s. keep up the good videos. I always manage to leave them with a smile :).
I recently ordered a Galaxy Watch (42mm Black) for ~$312. That's almost $100 less than bigger retailers here charge (though it seems they sell the LTE model, since that is what a price comparison site says). I ordered a Galaxy Watch with model number SM-R810, is that the non-LTE model?
I have a spigen cover on my galaxy watch, it's a little bit thick and makes turning the bezel more difficult but it's worth the extra effort so I don't ruin the watch.
I just purchased a refurbished rose gold 42in on bestbuy with a two year warranty. I hope it works good. I just switch from apple because I got a Samsung phone. I had series 2 apple watch and loved it.
Are you planning on reviewing Galaxy Active 2? I can't decide on buying the Galaxy watch or Active 2 that was just released. I keep going back and forth! I need to wait until I see the stainless steel version first to be able to compare. I think the Galaxy watch will be bulky on my wrist but it looks nice.
I love my Galaxy Watch! I've had it since November. Your review on it was one of the reasons why I decided to get it. Also what watch face do you have at 5:32 ?
Hey Thao!..Tamika here...lol...great video..I've had my galaxy watch since December 2018 and I still love it...you mentioned listening to music at the gym while your phone is in the locker...how do you ad music files to the watch?...and can I listen to spotify without the watch also?...thanks in advance
Hi Tamika lol You can add music through the Galaxy wearable app. For Spotify, the watch needs to be connected to WIFI if you don't have the LTE version. I usually just connect it to my Gyms WIFI network for workouts
When you have it repaired bec. Of the Echo, did Samsung say it was a defect or why it happened? Not a good sign if defects shows up after just a few months.
Hi there, I've had the Galaxy Watch for about a year it was bought second hand for £230 which was a good deal at the time. So could be around 2 years old i don't know? But have had no problems with it. I do wish it had a bigger battery so it would last longer between charging say about a week. Love the watch could not be without it now.
Hi do you think is still worth to buy this watch ?Also should I go for LTE connected to my phone plan or just Bluetooth? I'm completely new with watches so will be grateful for any advice 🙏 I currently have samsung note 10
I've got the lte 42mm black galaxy watch and I love it! The LTE destroys the battery though lol. With the LTE 4g on the battery will die even with only little to medium use after like 12-14 hours. With bluetooth on the 42mm can last 2-3 days with occasional use. With super heavy use itll last like a day and a half. Wish the battery was bigger but if you charge it every night before bed its good lol
I’m a year late , I’m just getting my Galaxy watch 46mm and I love it, I have to get use to it , I’m more of an Apple Watch guy , now I have the best of both worlds 👍🏿
Hey Thao, I'm in a serious rickroll right now. I'm not sure whether I should set in for the newer, better Galaxy Watch Active or go classic, and big, with a Galaxy Watch. It might seem weird but I'm coming from the Gear S with my new S10+ (S8 before) so I'm not entirely sure about what to do with my watch situation.
Got mine a few days ago. Earbuds will arrive soon. I got the 42mm LTE so I can respond to texts and listen to spotify while my phone locked up at work. I work 12 hr shifts and I know I can't stream for 12 hrs. I turned off all the battery draining features and I'll be mostly playing downloaded music on my premium Spotify account. But I'm hoping to at least get 6 hrs of music playback on a full charge with occasional streaming. The ONLY other data I'd like is steps. But not heartrate and definitely not workout detection. I work at Amazon and the dynamic workout detection would try to track my entire shift since we work nonstop for every single minute of our shifts. At the rate it drained the battery, I wouldn't have made it 2 hrs. So I just need spotify with earbuds and possibly steps. Can't wait for the buds to arrive so I can test it out. If it doesn't work them I'll be sending this thing back and cancelling the separate line of LTE service with my provider.
Thanakku Thaaa - Have one quick question. Have you used Apple Watch before? The reason I am asking is that I use iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch Series 4. I have always shuffled between Android (galaxy phones, Pixel etc.) and iOS (several of the iPhone versions) but all those times I never owned a smartwatch along with the phones. I really like the Note 10 (the smaller version of the Note 10 phone). Apple watch is making it harder to switch. I checked the galaxy watch 42mm and some of the things I liked and some I didn't. I liked the rotating ring but then the watch seemed a bit bulky. I am wondering if the Galaxy watch can be charged on the back of the samsung phones through reverse charging. So many questions there but let me know what you think.
This is the year I pick up an Apple watch! Never actually tried one. Regarding the Galaxy watch, yes it can be charged on the back of the newer Samsung phones with reverse wireless charging. Have you considered the Galaxy Watch Active 2 that's coming out?
I purchased galaxy watch 46mm 2 days back... after 26hr from full charge the battery life about 57%!! is that normal? my settings bluetooth on, Heart rate every 10 mins , display off , wakeup gesture on brightness 3!! samsung health + GPS USED during biking for 1 hour and half!
Love apples and like a doofus held my ear to your watch to listen to the satisfying clicks 😆 I've had mine for 2 months or so now and LOVE it. Wear it everyday for step tracking at work which tops out at a little over 38k per day 💪🏾. I forgot it one day and felt like I wasted a load of tracking data LOL! (Challenge me on Samsung Health y'all). Besides that I've found that it tracks sleep when I'm home simply working on my laptop when I wish I was actually sleeping 😐. To overcome that I shake my wrist occasionally especially when I wake up from actual sleep so it stops recording. Thanks for your update Thao Here!
Had the watch for a week now and still cant figure out how to get texts. If I get a text on my watch it's either extremely late or just doesnt come at all. Very annoying!
Just got a refurbished one off of ebay for 130 I love it and it came in excellent condition no scratches and two charges I'm loving it I am a true samsung user and love samsung even all my appliances and TVs in my house are samsung
When she said "fanny pack" I IMMEDIATELY burst out laughing! That's probably just due to the fact that I'm British and over here, fanny has a WHOLE different meaning. 😂😂
I'm still using the Galaxy Gear S3, which I love. It's pretty much my daily watch. But, I do have a couple Michael Kors Access watches as well for when I want to dress up. I personally have not had any issues with my Gear S3 and I have owned it for about three years. So to hear you've had issues twice and had to take it in for a repair is disconcerting. Hopefully, you just got a bad one. I've been trying to decide if I want to get the Galaxy Watch or wait until a new version. Think I will continue to wait for now.
I love my Galaxy watch (42mm) the only bad parts I dont like are I had it for a couple months now and had to reset it twice because it froze on me I couldn't use the bezel or anything but after resetting it it's working good again I use it every day all day I love it way more than the active I actually bought the active first had it for a day and took it back and got the Galaxy watch I'm glad I did best choice I made, besides resetting it twice no problems with the watch
Hi Thao, thanks for your fun enthusiastic and very informative reviews. Ive owned this Samsung watch for about 5 months and I like it a lot, mine crashed recently too. I've owned most of Samsungs watches, this in my opinion is definitely the best. I usually get the lte versions but never really need that facility. I tried the LG sports watch, very good but I missed the unique Samsung connection.
I think the biggest drawback of the active is that it doesn't have a speaker for taking calls directly on the watch. If that's not important and you want something smaller/slimmer, the active is great.
Love the watch I have the frontier the only problem I had was that every once in a while I couldn't get it to do anything so I rebooted it and it started working fine even though I wish there were better and more apps it's definitely a keeper
Im suprised no one here is having issues with the sensor cover on the back coming off. Ive only had my watch 9 months and went to take the watch off one day to find the sensor cover had separated from watch, there was also this sticky residue which im assuming is the glue used to hold the cover on. There are also others inquiring about this issue on samsungs website and being denied warranty service claiming the cause is water damage which is strange considering the watch is supposed to be waterproof.
Hey girl I watched your first video when I couldn't decide between Active and this one, bought it yesterday and then today you came out with this one so super great timing. I'm kinda thinking maybe I should have bought the extra warranty the store offers in Australia but that's approx $75+ but includes accidental damage as well. What do you think? Funny fact I've also got that same Baby g watch lol
Hi Thao ! I love your tech review ! I own a Samsung Gear Sport since october 2018 and my watch works as day one 7 months later. The rotative bezel is very convenient. Samsung watches are the bests on the market. I have absolutely no complain about my Gear Sport. I like the Rinke style on your watch and I will probably get one. It is available in my country, France on Amazon. Thank you Thao ! 👍👍
Great vid! I'm still loving my frontier and am going to check your vid list to see if you have any tutorials on these watches. I have a feeling I'll be able to follow along with you a lot easier than these other channels. 👍
That rotating bezel you have on your watch is totally different from mine. Is it something you put there or is there a difference between samsung watch all around the world (mine is from Europe) Thanks! :)

How do you see all the stap from last week
I've owned the 1st galaxy watch, the gear s3, and now the active. I have to say I enjoy the active the most but I feel Samsung has done a great job with all their watches and cant wait to see what the future holds for wearable tech.

The Garmin is fantastic for my running and has a great app but the screen on the galaxy and the rotating bezel is far better than the Garmin screen sadly. I’m in a dilemma! Haha. Love the vids. Keep em coming please. :-)
I just got mine and I just love it, the only thing I wish the watch had is face time or duo just like Dick Tracy has.
I really enjoy my Galaxy watch (46mm). I use it daily, with don't exceptions here and there to wear my mechanical watches. No issues at all. 👌🏼
Got mine about two weeks ago. Hoping it don't go bad
Thank you for your review I just ordered mine through AT&T and was considering getting the active 2 but decided this one was better it's not my first smartwatch because I have the Michael kors Bradshaw but it doesnt really sync the best with my phone so I cant wait to have all Samsung products soon.
Same way I feel about the Fitbit Versa. I've had 2 replacements under the warranty
I'm succed in myself.. Tv and phone work perfectly together no wifi is needed to stream to TV.. Samsung is tha shiznit
i wish it had a waaaaay bigger storage (for spotify offline usage) and maybe even a nano sim slot
I got the galaxy watch back in April and it is AMAZING I still wear it everyday and the bezel is perfect for navigating through the watch!!!!
I want to buy my first smartwatch and I'm having second thoughts of buying this because it looks big. My wrist is 18cm circumference, what about yours?
I've got the Samsung Gear S3 Classic with LTE. I love the rose gold Galaxy Watch and smaller size. But, I cannot give up Samsung Pay, and I worry that the battery life on a smaller LTE version of the watch will be a real downgrade.
That said, I love my S3. The One UI update is awesome. I love my watch even more. Thao, your review of it would be awesome. I'm sure you have found some hidden features that I missed.
Good video. I got the 46mm myself and I absolutely love it. Luckily no repairs were needed so far and I hope it stays like that for the future.
p.s. keep up the good videos. I always manage to leave them with a smile :).
Does it connect to airpods? Also do you need a line for the LTE version? Which do you have? Bluetooth or LTE? What's the difference?
I recently ordered a Galaxy Watch (42mm Black) for ~$312. That's almost $100 less than bigger retailers here charge (though it seems they sell the LTE model, since that is what a price comparison site says). I ordered a Galaxy Watch with model number SM-R810, is that the non-LTE model?
I have a spigen cover on my galaxy watch, it's a little bit thick and makes turning the bezel more difficult but it's worth the extra effort so I don't ruin the watch.
Hi do you have the LTE?
I also love my Galaxy Watch more than before because of the features. And yeah, changing the straps with another color is my new hobby.
I just purchased a refurbished rose gold 42in on bestbuy with a two year warranty. I hope it works good. I just switch from apple because I got a Samsung phone. I had series 2 apple watch and loved it.
You are great! Thanks to your reviews I decided to buy my Galaxy Watch three days ago and I am very satisfied! keep up a great work!
Are you planning on reviewing Galaxy Active 2? I can't decide on buying the Galaxy watch or Active 2 that was just released. I keep going back and forth! I need to wait until I see the stainless steel version first to be able to compare. I think the Galaxy watch will be bulky on my wrist but it looks nice.
I started watching your videos yesterday about the samsung watch and well i ordered it... i can't wait for it to come..thank you so much Thao 😏😏😏
I got the 42mm too, it had the new uodate this month, increase the battery to 4 to 5 days on me when discharge
0:45 love the sound
I love my Galaxy Watch! I've had it since November. Your review on it was one of the reasons why I decided to get it.
Also what watch face do you have at 5:32 ?
It's called Dual Dial
Hey Thao!..Tamika here...lol...great video..I've had my galaxy watch since December 2018 and I still love it...you mentioned listening to music at the gym while your phone is in the locker...how do you ad music files to the watch?...and can I listen to spotify without the watch also?...thanks in advance
Hi Tamika lol
You can add music through the Galaxy wearable app. For Spotify, the watch needs to be connected to WIFI if you don't have the LTE version. I usually just connect it to my Gyms WIFI network for workouts
I just ordered my watch and the protector you showed. Thanks for your honesty 👍🏾.
When you have it repaired bec. Of the Echo, did Samsung say it was a defect or why it happened? Not a good sign if defects shows up after just a few months.
Hey did you know that the gear s2 classic is larger than the galaxy watch gold in size compared
Hi there, I've had the Galaxy Watch for about a year it was bought second hand for £230 which was a good deal at the time. So could be around 2 years old i don't know? But have had no problems with it. I do wish it had a bigger battery so it would last longer between charging say about a week. Love the watch could not be without it now.
Just splurged and got me and babe one. I'm excited to use it for the first time now (updating his)
Hi do you think is still worth to buy this watch ?Also should I go for LTE connected to my phone plan or just Bluetooth?
I'm completely new with watches so will be grateful for any advice 🙏
I currently have samsung note 10
Just got OneUI on my Galaxy Watch. Really like how it looks, particularly the larger fonts and colors.
I'm really liking it too!
I've got the lte 42mm black galaxy watch and I love it! The LTE destroys the battery though lol. With the LTE 4g on the battery will die even with only little to medium use after like 12-14 hours. With bluetooth on the 42mm can last 2-3 days with occasional use. With super heavy use itll last like a day and a half. Wish the battery was bigger but if you charge it every night before bed its good lol
Are they not selling other colors anymore for the 46mm?
How often do you turn your watch off? I just recently bought mine and dont really know how often i should
I’m a year late , I’m just getting my Galaxy watch 46mm and I love it, I have to get use to it , I’m more of an Apple Watch guy , now I have the best of both worlds 👍🏿
Hey Thao, I'm in a serious rickroll right now. I'm not sure whether I should set in for the newer, better Galaxy Watch Active or go classic, and big, with a Galaxy Watch.
It might seem weird but I'm coming from the Gear S with my new S10+ (S8 before) so I'm not entirely sure about what to do with my watch situation.
Can i just use it as a regular watch if i want to?
I love my Samsung Galaxy watch. I use it all the time when I go work. It works great. Thank you.
Gettin mine later cant wait,,so excited
Got mine a few days ago. Earbuds will arrive soon. I got the 42mm LTE so I can respond to texts and listen to spotify while my phone locked up at work. I work 12 hr shifts and I know I can't stream for 12 hrs. I turned off all the battery draining features and I'll be mostly playing downloaded music on my premium Spotify account. But I'm hoping to at least get 6 hrs of music playback on a full charge with occasional streaming. The ONLY other data I'd like is steps. But not heartrate and definitely not workout detection. I work at Amazon and the dynamic workout detection would try to track my entire shift since we work nonstop for every single minute of our shifts. At the rate it drained the battery, I wouldn't have made it 2 hrs. So I just need spotify with earbuds and possibly steps.
Can't wait for the buds to arrive so I can test it out. If it doesn't work them I'll be sending this thing back and cancelling the separate line of LTE service with my provider.
Thanakku Thaaa - Have one quick question. Have you used Apple Watch before? The reason I am asking is that I use iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch Series 4. I have always shuffled between Android (galaxy phones, Pixel etc.) and iOS (several of the iPhone versions) but all those times I never owned a smartwatch along with the phones. I really like the Note 10 (the smaller version of the Note 10 phone). Apple watch is making it harder to switch. I checked the galaxy watch 42mm and some of the things I liked and some I didn't. I liked the rotating ring but then the watch seemed a bit bulky. I am wondering if the Galaxy watch can be charged on the back of the samsung phones through reverse charging. So many questions there but let me know what you think.
This is the year I pick up an Apple watch! Never actually tried one. Regarding the Galaxy watch, yes it can be charged on the back of the newer Samsung phones with reverse wireless charging. Have you considered the Galaxy Watch Active 2 that's coming out?
@@thao Yes, I think most likely I will go for it. I am getting sick and tired of fully locked in the Apple ecosystem.
by the way, that charging the watch on the backside of the phone is so dope and very functional- what do you think?
Hi! What is the name of the face you're using on your watch? 5:35
I purchased galaxy watch 46mm 2 days back... after 26hr from full charge the battery life about 57%!! is that normal? my settings bluetooth on, Heart rate every 10 mins , display off , wakeup gesture on brightness 3!! samsung health + GPS USED during biking for 1 hour and half!
The first charge usually is a little worse due to set up and installing apps etc. You should see 3 - 4 days
Love your band esp black and brown where did u buy them?
im thinking about buying one for half the original price. i usually run or go to the gym, would u reccomend it for ms?
Can you take the Bezel on and off?
Have you updated your watch to One UI? I did. Looks good ;)
I have the galaxy watch and it is amazing
Love apples and like a doofus held my ear to your watch to listen to the satisfying clicks 😆
I've had mine for 2 months or so now and LOVE it. Wear it everyday for step tracking at work which tops out at a little over 38k per day 💪🏾. I forgot it one day and felt like I wasted a load of tracking data LOL! (Challenge me on Samsung Health y'all). Besides that I've found that it tracks sleep when I'm home simply working on my laptop when I wish I was actually sleeping 😐. To overcome that I shake my wrist occasionally especially when I wake up from actual sleep so it stops recording. Thanks for your update Thao Here!
Good morning Thao! 💎
Lots of love from Brazil 🇧🇷💖💕
Love your reviews right to the point
Had the watch for a week now and still cant figure out how to get texts. If I get a text on my watch it's either extremely late or just doesnt come at all. Very annoying!
Just got a refurbished one off of ebay for 130 I love it and it came in excellent condition no scratches and two charges I'm loving it I am a true samsung user and love samsung even all my appliances and TVs in my house are samsung
Thank you for the info about the Galaxy watch. I love my Galaxy watch 42m. It's the best.
This is the video that sold me. Definitely getting one
When she said "fanny pack" I IMMEDIATELY burst out laughing! That's probably just due to the fact that I'm British and over here, fanny has a WHOLE different meaning. 😂😂
They've been around over 30 years to my recollection. Hopefully, the pack preceded the Brit slang?
Yes it does 🤣
What does fanny mean in UK?
@@skanderchouba9425 Pretty sure it means your butt
Skander Chouba well it’s not your rear end it’s the front end lol
I'm still using the Galaxy Gear S3, which I love. It's pretty much my daily watch. But, I do have a couple Michael Kors Access watches as well for when I want to dress up. I personally have not had any issues with my Gear S3 and I have owned it for about three years. So to hear you've had issues twice and had to take it in for a repair is disconcerting. Hopefully, you just got a bad one. I've been trying to decide if I want to get the Galaxy Watch or wait until a new version. Think I will continue to wait for now.
Wait until the new one
Hi cn the bezel be interchangeable or 1x use?
hello can you tell me if Viber is working on the galaxy watch?
I love my Galaxy watch (42mm) the only bad parts I dont like are I had it for a couple months now and had to reset it twice because it froze on me I couldn't use the bezel or anything but after resetting it it's working good again I use it every day all day I love it way more than the active I actually bought the active first had it for a day and took it back and got the Galaxy watch I'm glad I did best choice I made, besides resetting it twice no problems with the watch
Hi Thao, thanks for your fun enthusiastic and very informative reviews. Ive owned this Samsung watch for about 5 months and I like it a lot, mine crashed recently too. I've owned most of Samsungs watches, this in my opinion is definitely the best. I usually get the lte versions but never really need that facility. I tried the LG sports watch, very good but I missed the unique Samsung connection.
Which would you recommend more the Galaxy sport or the Galaxy watch? The sport looks more comfortable and smaller but it seems to have less features.
I think the biggest drawback of the active is that it doesn't have a speaker for taking calls directly on the watch. If that's not important and you want something smaller/slimmer, the active is great.
@@thao do you mean the sport from 2018 or the new active that just came out this year?
I like the sport because it still has the rotating bezel but I think you're right it doesn't have the speaker.
I thought you were referring to the active. I haven't personally tested the sport so can't really help you there
Love the watch I have the frontier the only problem I had was that every once in a while I couldn't get it to do anything so I rebooted it and it started working fine even though I wish there were better and more apps it's definitely a keeper
Im suprised no one here is having issues with the sensor cover on the back coming off. Ive only had my watch 9 months and went to take the watch off one day to find the sensor cover had separated from watch, there was also this sticky residue which im assuming is the glue used to hold the cover on. There are also others inquiring about this issue on samsungs website and being denied warranty service claiming the cause is water damage which is strange considering the watch is supposed to be waterproof.
Hey girl I watched your first video when I couldn't decide between Active and this one, bought it yesterday and then today you came out with this one so super great timing. I'm kinda thinking maybe I should have bought the extra warranty the store offers in Australia but that's approx $75+ but includes accidental damage as well. What do you think? Funny fact I've also got that same Baby g watch lol
At $75, I'll take my chances lol
I got the galaxy watch on sale in December. Luckily it has not given any issues in the 6 months I've had it. Here's hoping it stays that way 🤞🏾
Are they gonna come out with a newer version anytime soon??
Hi Thao ! I love your tech review ! I own a Samsung Gear Sport since october 2018 and my watch works as day one 7 months later. The rotative bezel is very convenient. Samsung watches are the bests on the market. I have absolutely no complain about my Gear Sport. I like the Rinke style on your watch and I will probably get one. It is available in my country, France on Amazon. Thank you Thao ! 👍👍
Great vid! I'm still loving my frontier and am going to check your vid list to see if you have any tutorials on these watches. I have a feeling I'll be able to follow along with you a lot easier than these other channels. 👍
That rotating bezel you have on your watch is totally different from mine. Is it something you put there or is there a difference between samsung watch all around the world (mine is from Europe) Thanks! :)
It's linked in my pinned comment
@@thao Ohh lovely thanks a lot ❤
How much the new watch 4?
Can you use the galaxy watch to find you phone?
Great watch brought mine a week ago for $320 at T-mobile thanks for the video keep up the good work.
