Thanks for the great review! Finally a review that isn't bias or only talking about the beneftis and genuinely covering the pros and cons to the watch. Keep up the great work! Subscribing to see what other great content you have!!!
I know this video is older, but there's now an awesome remote camera app called "wrist camera". The picture is of a red and black shutter lense (or whatever). It works AMAZINGLY. I don't even have to have my phone u locked for it to work.
Hey can we get an update please? How's it now? Last Samsung watch I had it was the first model 2nd gen and the battery expanded and destroyed my watch.
How well dose this watch work as a stand-alone phone? I’m a minimalist and I really don’t like how big phones are these days so I was looking to just go with a smart watch.
I've been wandering the internet over the last few days to try and decide which smartwatch to buy in the near future, and this is by far the best one I've come across, as much due to the fact that your view of a smartwatch's functionality reflects my own, as it is to the presentation itself. On a side note, I was able to make out most of what you said as a non-native English listener and that does not usually happen with speakers of your pace. Liked and appreciated.
Glad you mentioned the MTA because I use that all the time on my gear S3. Small town are slow to update. I know Walmart is the worst. Such a big corporation you would think would be on the ball, but even the small local market has NFC
I loved it that you are using this on a Pixel 3 XL. I'm doing the same and it works great! I am a fan and prefer WearOS but it is back to being a mess again in my opinion. I need better health tracking and awesome battery life. The Galaxy Watch does that and more. This is truly the best SmartWatch for Android...period.
i'm new to samsung and just bought my first one... the galaxy s10... while i was at the store, i saw this watch and fell in love with it... would you recommend someone to buy it who's new to samsung products?? i'm really in love with just the aesthetics of this watch and that silver wrist band, (which i would love for you to tell me where i can pick one of those up if i do end up getting this watch)
I have a Galaxy Note9 and I have the Galaxy Watch 42mm Midnight Black. The issues you mentioned, especially Spotify and the built-in music player, worked fine for me every single time. I think it is just a Galaxy and non-Galaxy phone kind of thing. I’m not too sure why there is such a big difference (I noticed a few functional differences when I used the Gear S3 with a non-Galaxy phone as well), but hopefully this will be fixed.
idk if i want to buy a Garmin Fenix 5 plus or the Galaxy watch. the garmin is a more tough fitness tracker (with some "smart" features) but the samsung galaxy watch is a smart watch with fitness aspects. i cannot decide.
I heard that with the samsung galaxy watch it cannot start (initiate) a facebook message, only receive notification and then reply. can you advise if that is true? I did hear that the navigation there is a third party app that does this, samsung has to meet the standard met by the apple watch to compete. the apple watch is able to initiate facebook messages and has navigation next turns shown on the watch face.
Great review both in terms of content and delivery. I'd held off from buying the watch because of no Google Assistant and the poor mans alternative, Bixby! I was beginning to sway and had almost persuaded myself to buy it. However, you comment about the sub optimal performance of Samsung VR cemented the fact that it is not for me.
Stumbled upon your video in my feed, just wanted to say great video! Subscribed to your channel look forward to seeing more of your reviews. I've recently upgraded to the galaxy watch from the gear s2 and so far I love it. I'll definitely be adding the watch faces you highlighted thanks!
The videos almost a year old, they've probably fixed a few things by now. I will be getting mine in a week or 2 so i will be finding out for myself if its improved
@@JillisMusicChannel I wouldn't have a clue, i haven't been able to use it yet since my poor 5 year old phone doesn't have enough RAM to run it. Needs at least 1.5 gigs of available ram to connect through the galaxy wearables app.
Yes, but there can be other connection issues with iPhones...especially the 6 and 6s. That's what I was using and decided to switch to a Galaxy phone that allows for the full functionality of the watch. With the iPhone, it would randomly decide to stop sending notifications, bluetooth wouldn't reconnect automatically, etc. It just wasn't the full watch experience that I was looking for. But yes, for phone calls it worked with the iPhone.
So my only issue I have and the only reason I haven't purchased yet is because of the HR monitor. I can deal with it not being very accurate, but will my "calories burned" during a workout be DRASTICALLY off/wrong?
Samsung doesn't upgrade their watches that frequently. So if you don't use MST, if I were you I'd pick up the Galaxy watch since the price difference isn't that much
Hello, Im considering buying Galaxy Watch 42mm but Im very interested in running and I read that Galaxy Watch had (still has?) problem with heart rate monitoring and that would be a deal breaker for me. So I want to ask if it is already fixed with new updates or still a problem. I didnt find any recent review where it would be mentioned. Thank you very much :)
What’s better Samsung galaxy or Huwaei GT2 ? I feel that the Samsung model has more smart features and u can actually answer messages and read emails, BUT the gt2 can save almost 500 songs so u can go for a walk without having ur phone with u but it has less features less watchfaces and u can rly read or answer messages and emails , the price is almost the same , what do u suggest ?
Question. I have the 46 mm galaxy watch but I need a smaller band because I have small wrist. The 22 may be too big. Can I buy a smaller band to use on the watch. Will the band for the 42 mm work for the 46mm
I appreciate the feedback on this, I have never really thought about buying a smartwatch but I am wanting to get one and have been trying to do research on this device, some of the topics you covered I haven't heard yet so thank you!
Why would you want mst on a new tech device. With emv changes for payment terminals, mag stripe transactions will no longer be accepted. Mag stripe cards are to easy to compromise which is why card issuers and merchants are moving to contactless or chip read transactions. No point paying for something that's being phased out. .
Anyone here with a Nest Hello doorbell? Ik was wondering if you can get a screenshot on your watch when someone rings the bell and if you can talk with them via the watch?
How do I increase my watch face time like around 30 more secs..... it's either always on, OR less than 3 secs .... ??? I want it on for like 15 secs each time I turn it on.... Cam that be done ???
I did a ton of research comparing the Samsung active 2 and the galaxy watch and I am 100% going with the galaxy watch I cant wait to get mine. I'm going with the 46mm bluetooth wifi LTE model
Got the galaxy watch a few days ago and have not experience lag at all, guess they have updated the software through the time it has been out, It is pretty responsive so far!
A little late to the party here but I'm looking at getting the Galaxy Watch (46mm) but have recently thought about the S3 as it has the MST. However, I don't really use my phone to pay things now & I'm not sure I SHOULD even care if the new watch has the MST since I don't use it now on my phone. I guess it's just that I thought that if I wanted to, I'm not sure if this feature (or lack thereof) would bother me. Could someone give me their thoughts?
JT Mish I bought the samsung galaxy 46 mm yesterday even tho I have an IPhone it’s a great watch I like everything about it so far. If you have a samsung phone you will have everything compatible and you will love it. There’s a lot of nice watch faces as well.
I have the LTE version and think it's well worth the money for the extra battery capacity alone. Connectivity wise however, I personally wouldn't get a BT only one. Without LTE it's just a watch without your phone. No more walking around the office or house with my phone as it's not necessary. I also don't take my phone out on errands any more either. No need. I also don't have any issues with voice dictating text message. It's worked pretty spot-on from my Gear S v1 back in 2014 and still does on this version.
Thank you for featuring our designs! If anyone is interested, watchface featured in thumbnail is called
TRON-X Dark Ice
So basically its a great watch with its potential not fully drawn out.
Somebody call Piccolo and the Kais to unlock its potential
Don't forget the hyperbolic time chamber!
😂😂😂
just tell it to focus its energy into its upper back smh
😭😂😂😂 bro that's a great comment!
Free giveaway plz
That silver wristband is sweet.
Does it stay on firmly or does that magnet open easily when it touches the sleeves?
Hey man, you saved my watch. I scratched the bezel. I was freaking out and then ended up doing what you said, it's as good as new! Much appreciated!
0:35 I went to cry in the corner because small wrists.
I feel you bro! I have very small wrists
Im so happy I go to the gym 5x a week. Im 14 and would have small wrist. But now I have big wrists
You should know the bands can be changed.
Get the 42mm version instead
My wrists are fairly small so I use the 42mm version galaxy watch and it fits perfectly
Thanks for the great review! Finally a review that isn't bias or only talking about the beneftis and genuinely covering the pros and cons to the watch. Keep up the great work! Subscribing to see what other great content you have!!!
7:38 This is the reason I chose an S3 Frontier instead of one of the newer watches. I even told Samsung on Twitter I was getting a watch with MST.
Nah you just chose the gear s3 cuz its cheaper
Spent a good few hours trying to find a good video review. This hit all the spots. You get my rare like
Where do I get that metallic band?
Where did you get the watch band from?
i looked at other reviews and tbis was spot on with comments on everything I questioned. Here is believable and seems genuine.
Yeah i think this guy is good.
If you want real true reviews, Check out the guy on yt called
Flossy carter. His reviews are amazing
I know this video is older, but there's now an awesome remote camera app called "wrist camera". The picture is of a red and black shutter lense (or whatever). It works AMAZINGLY. I don't even have to have my phone u locked for it to work.
You got beautiful selection of watch faces such as 7:32, 7:37, 7:49, 8:26, 8:47
I know the feeling when you bump or scrap the watch. Life pauses for a few seconds
I did this like 3 times today at work and I just stop and Im like "OH GOD" 😂
Still have the classic Galaxy gear 2, with ir blaster (remote controller) and a camera. Gonna miss those features when I upgrade to Galaxy watch 46mm.
My old tablet had the ir blaster, was fun to use on the tv to make the ipad users jealous
Hey can we get an update please? How's it now? Last Samsung watch I had it was the first model 2nd gen and the battery expanded and destroyed my watch.
What are the watch faces at 3:03 and 3:06?
That metallic wrist band is awesome, where did you get if from?
Should I get these one or the new galaxy active? I can't decide.
Its easy if u want a rotating bezel get this one or a 42mm the bezel i find useful one reason i got this one
How well dose this watch work as a stand-alone phone? I’m a minimalist and I really don’t like how big phones are these days so I was looking to just go with a smart watch.
Why can't I find any of these watch faces that you link in the video?
Since it has GPS does it show the right time if you fly to London or wherever?
Love the review. But where did you get the metric one? Red and black. Love that one.

So my question is, would you guys recommend the galaxy 46mm or galaxy s3 frontier. I am looking to purchase a smart watch and stuck between the two
i'm new to samsung and just bought my first one... the galaxy s10... while i was at the store, i saw this watch and fell in love with it... would you recommend someone to buy it who's new to samsung products?? i'm really in love with just the aesthetics of this watch and that silver wrist band, (which i would love for you to tell me where i can pick one of those up if i do end up getting this watch)
can you connect buds and watch to phone at the same time?
I have a Galaxy Note9 and I have the Galaxy Watch 42mm Midnight Black. The issues you mentioned, especially Spotify and the built-in music player, worked fine for me every single time. I think it is just a Galaxy and non-Galaxy phone kind of thing.

How can I set a live wallpaper or a gif wallpaper to the galaxy watch 46mm?
thanks for the information very big help just wondering is there way to put the google play store in the watch? thanks
Nah! It runs with tizen OS, Roy.
Good review! But in the end, do you Think its worth its price and do you recommend it ?
Best regards
Your channel deserves a lot more subscribers! It's a pleasure watching your reviews, keep em coming!
There's nothing I can do about it. I appreciate the support!
Whats the app called for the watch faces?
Are they selling the silver strap separately or is it included in the package??
Do you think there will be a SG watch 2 anouncement?
Most likely, if so I'm hoping to see radical breakthrough features. Smartwatches are becoming stale to me, I wanna be "Wowed" again
Some of the 3rd party apps have some really disappointing issues (looking at you Spotify).
So I started writing some stuff I wanted.
Thanks for the great review. Could you please repost the link for the Milanese strap as the link you provided is no longer valid? Thanks
idk if i want to buy a Garmin Fenix 5 plus or the Galaxy watch. the garmin is a more tough fitness tracker (with some "smart" features) but the samsung galaxy watch is a smart watch with fitness aspects. i cannot decide.
Definitely get a Galaxy watch. You will be happy with it.
Can you please consider a short video on find my car app, tried to use it last weekend with no success. May have lost cell signal while indoors.
Hi, which camera and lens are you used for this video? Its amazing.
Please answer me :(
My gear link is in the description
@@TEQREATION thanks... i missed it
yes I agree after all these years and the Samsung apps for the watch are the same? I hope I could still install opera mini at least.
What's the watch face at 3:08?
I heard that with the samsung galaxy watch it cannot start (initiate) a facebook message, only receive notification and then reply. can you advise if that is true?

I was scratched the bezel just like yours, unsure on what. I only had it 24 hrs. I'll be trying your suggestion out when I get home. Ty for that.
I love my 46mm i dont have the voice issues you spoke about though mines is spot on ..i just got it 2 days ago
The videos almost a year old, they've probably fixed a few things by now.
I will be getting mine in a week or 2 so i will be finding out for myself if its improved
@@archygrey9093 Hey! Saw your comment. Could you give me an update of this watch? What still doesn't work? What did they fix ? Thanks!! :)
@@JillisMusicChannel I wouldn't have a clue, i haven't been able to use it yet since my poor 5 year old phone doesn't have enough RAM to run it. Needs at least 1.5 gigs of available ram to connect through the galaxy wearables app.
Have you tried the swim tracking features, pool & outdoor is there Gps tracking like apple ? Thanks
Can we answer the call on galaxy watch(no lte version model) if it is connected to Iphone??
Yes, but there can be other connection issues with iPhones...especially the 6 and 6s.

@TeQreation what is that ying yang watch face called?
Better and better these videos get. We love you Jeremy.
❤️❤️❤️
great video, like how your just get to the point and no annoying intros..
The wrist band link doesn't work for me. Will you be able to help me out?
What watch faces are you showing in this video?
hello can you tell me if Viber is working on the galaxy watch? thanks
Can someone link me to the wrist band he has, love the the look of the 46mm with that strap
Soo the black and sliver model only comes in the 46mm
What theme you have on that watch?
What faces are you using? are they free?
9:46 what's the watch face name?
So my only issue I have and the only reason I haven't purchased yet is because of the HR monitor. I can deal with it not being very accurate, but will my "calories burned" during a workout be DRASTICALLY off/wrong?
@B STFU
I think your better off getting a fitness watch this doesn't seem like something I'd want to be wearing all over during a work out
This watch works great. Make sure you have strapped/tighten on wrist for accurate reading.
The HR sensor is always the same as my Note 9 HR sensor reads... Don't think you need to worry about that!
@@pitbull82 I haven't seen no1 complaining about the HR on the galaxy watch
Hi.. can u please name all the watch faces that you have shown in the video.. they are very amazing...
They're named in the video...
So I brought the s3 on black Friday..should I switch to this watch or just keep the s3 until the next watch come out ???
Samsung doesn't upgrade their watches that frequently. So if you don't use MST, if I were you I'd pick up the Galaxy watch since the price difference isn't that much
I suggest to switch to galaxy watch, man its gorgeous and more battery juice.
Coming from frontier > galaxy watch
Works perfect with a Samsung phone...
David Calica Not really the only problem is it would fix are the first party Samsung apps but nothing else like Bixby
FACTS LOL I CAME FOR THIS COMMENT, EVERY GRIPE HE HAD WITH THE WATCH WOULD WORK ON A Galaxy PHONE
Would this work with OnePlus 6t?....I read somewhere that text wouldn't work.
@@8ball406 I ask myself the same thing because I've the same phone, for now I think it will work
@@kapptin12 I almost went off on this same subject lol
Can I use my google play money to buy some watch faces or do I have to use a credit or dept card?
It's linked to Samsung's billing account. So you need to add payment method
@@TEQREATION Ok. Thank you. And how much are the watch faces?
My watch battery is not lasting but 12 hours. Please share how I should set my watch for a longer battery use.

Very good video! Will you be looking at Apps, would be interesting to know what you use.
can you inform me about the name of watch face at 1:16 please
It's called "New GEAR monster II"
thanks man!!

What's the strap called the link isn't working and I love the sliver strap.
What watch face is that at 2:50 mark?
Great video! I only get 1 and a half days from the battery. Can you please make a video on best recommended settings to achieve 3 days?
I don't do anything special. I just wear it and go about my day. Always on display is turned off, by default. That's about it
Question. I have the 46 mm galaxy watch but I need a smaller band because I have small wrist. The 22 may be too big. Can I buy a smaller band to use on the watch. Will the band for the 42 mm work for the 46mm
No the 42mm band only works with 20mm straps, I mentioned it in the beginning of the video
Can someone tell me what is the face at 5:10.. would appreciate the help
What are the watch faces that are used in watch during video?
I appreciate the feedback on this, I have never really thought about buying a smartwatch but I am wanting to get one and have been trying to do research on this device, some of the topics you covered I haven't heard yet so thank you!

42inch...? Wow that would be a huge watch ;-)
@@masoodpaki Essentially a clock on your wrist
@@leocastrillo759 Gotta love the old wrist clock, i use mine as a shield

Probably not. If you want more battery, then sure, but I personally wouldn't since it's pretty much the same watch
"Uhmm which watch faces am i going to wear today" 😂👍
I have the Galaxy watch and agree 💯 with everything you said. Glad to know it's not just my watch that is iffy when using Spotify.
The magnetic closure of the band can damage the watch sensors?
Don't think it would be any worse than the magnetic closures on the phone cases, also i think they use magnets in the charging dock anyway
Hey. Nice review. Thanks. Is there a good watch face with the "Next calendar event"?
