This is unironically a better review than anything I've seen from Marques Brownlee lately. You addressed the concerns I had regarding app availability/functionality and battery life, and I've decided to buy one. Thank you for the extremely helpful, insightful, and very well produced review!
This was launched very quietly; I didn't even know it was out until I was browsing the website and looking for deals on a new watch between them and the Pixel Watch. Haha, thanks for this insight!
Be aware that the galaxy watch FE is a smart watch 4 in a new jacket. The hardware comes from that model. I think it's a little bit overpriced in that case.
i really like this watch and im trying to save money so i can buy it,in greece its price is 130 euros and if you search for it in a physical store it will be 199,the review was the best ive ever watched but is it worth it to buy fe instead of watch 4 cuz as u said its the same as watch 4
@@dream7boy771 i feel like the fe will be a bit better than the watch 4 because i think its mostly of the date it was released, as the watch 4 is older than the watch fe (my opinion btw)
Great reveiw. One question that isnt answered in most reviews is do you need a subscription, app, and without the premium subscription, what features do you lose?
I have the old samsung galaxy watch that has the rotating bezel. I've been thinking of getting a new watch because the battery on this one isn't working very well and the OS doesn't support newer apps, however I really really like the physical touch feedback of rotating the bezel rather than just swiping the screen. It's quite unfortunate they stopped adding that feature to their watches. I think it really distinguished them from the competition but what do I know...
What a calm and straight to the point review 😩 I was looking into watches and other health devices for a while now, today I went shopping and got tangled up in front of the watches, I tested some and wasn't sure, when I saw this watch, the price and the pretty colour pink 🩷 had me convinced that I need THAT one. After using and testing it for an afternoon I fell in love with it, tracking my heart rate during workouts and in general has taken a huge boulder off of my shoulders. Seeing its insane (to me) accuracy during your tests, I'm definitely gonna keep it until it falls apart. I really feel like a small heart condition plagued girl with lots of health anxiety has struck gold with this watch 🥰
What about fall detection? Will it call emergency services if you are unconscious and emergency contacts? Does it need to be near my phone for this to work?
Okay... That was an amazing review! Complex, simple and explained methodology, no screaming or shouting or any other cheap attention grabs. Just excellent! Thank you very much ❤️
I picked one of these up after watching your review. I use it primarily for the Health Connect features. I also use a CPAP and like how the data from the watch synchs not only with the Health Connect functionality but also is able to synch with my Resmed 'myAir" application.
Great review. it was worth the wait. I have a couple of questions, Could you compare the watch accuracy with other smartwatches, if it is possible? Is it possible to use accessories from other galaxy watches, or is that fabric band for the fe model? Have you experienced any type of lagging on the watch? What's your final rate for it?
I’m glad you liked my review 😊 I am planning to compare accuracy across wearables, but it does take time to collect and analyze data, so stay tuned… The fabric band works with the 4, 5, and 6 watches as well. I have experienced a little lag at times. I personally need more than 1 week of use to give a final rating 😊
Hello, It has 16go of memory. Is it possible to put some MP3 on it and listen to them with a BT headset (without a smartphone) ? And if you plug the usb cable to a pc can you transfer these MP3 files with ease ? (like a USB key / a mass storage)
Anything that requires the Samsung Health Monitor app is not technically compatible (e.g. ECG, blood pressure, sleep apnea detection-if they are available in your region). There are a few other small things that others have noted, but unfortunately, Samsung doesn’t make it clear what the exact feature difference is.
@@wearablewhisperer Thank you for your response. It was never stated if the reasons some of the features were disabled for "proprietary" reasons, or otherwise (like keeping their customers in their ecosystem). I give Samsung credit for keeping enough of the features available for all android devices across the spectrum.
Great review, may I ask if I can receive and answer calls if I'm outside the Bluetooth range but both the phone and the watch are under the same Wi-Fi, even if the phone is an Android but not a Samsung?
No watch I have worn is satisfactorily accurate in tracking my sleep. Accuracy to me is knowing when I fell asleep, woke up in the middle of the night, and woke up in the morning. I personally sometimes take over an hour to fall asleep initially or after waking in the middle of the night, and most of the time my watch cannot distinguish between me lying still but being awake vs me being asleep. If you fall asleep within minutes of laying down, never wake up during the night for a significant amount of time, and always get out of bed as soon as you wake up, the sleep times and amounts should be accurate. I cannot comment on sleep stages accuracy as I don’t have a way to test that.
well done girl nice and concise tutorial and one that doesn't go on and on. thanks n keep up with the good work Oh by the way does it have WIFI and BLUETOOTH As others say it does not have
Only if you have the lte 4g version and not the bluetooth one. The bluetooth ones music only work when connected to the internet, the LTE 4G works independently.
Heyy I'm a heart patient my doctor adviced me to wear a watch that keeps tracks of my heart rate so does this watch have a function to beep when heart rate is abnormal???
You're obviously doing something different with your watch than I am. The Galaxy watch FE battery sucks. I've got cheap watches out of Temu with a better battery life
First video i have watched from you. Easy to understand, straight to the point and no fuss. Good job!

You’re very welcome! Thank you so much for the positive feedback, I truly appreciate it 😊
I don't normally comment on TH-cam, but yeah I second what Zac said. Nice job.
My dad's cardiologist told me to pick one of these up to track his heart rate. Thank you for the thorough and clear review.
You’re welcome 😊
Rather go for 5 6or

NIce structure of the video and quiet detail oriented. one question : can the FE be charged using samsung phone?
Yes
Which features are missing compared with the higher end models?
Galaxy watch fe have blood pressure monitor sensor??? Please reply
Can you send and receive text messages and calls from it please (using bluetooth to a samsung phone)? Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks for the positive feedback! 😊
Amazing review very informative just what i needed
Thanks for the positive feedback 😊
Question on media control - can you easily long press the physical buttons to fast forward through advertisements in podcasts playing on the phone?
Very nicely explained. Thanks for a well done review, helped alot.
New to smart watches …. Can I set a recurring timer, say for every two hours between an early morning rise to late evening?
Not that I know of...
Nice reviews and video.
Thanks 😊
Do you think its worth it to upgrade from watch 3 classic to this?
I subbed. Your videos are concise, informative and well tested.
REALLY good review. It will fit my need and I will buy it.
So glad my video helped you 😊

Can you call, text and access most of your daily apps?
Awesome video, I have a question did you have irregular heart rhythm notification on during your battery testing?
Yes
Excellent review
Thank you for a most informative practical usage review.
Few days ago, I was went to samsung store. I noticed it has blood pressure monitor, have you test the functionality? If yes, how does it work?
Hello, It has 16go of memory. Is it possible to put some MP3 on it and listen to them with a BT headset (without a smartphone) ? And if you plug the usb cable to a pc can you transfer these MP3 files with ease ? (like a USB key / a mass storage)

Thats You?! You Look Beautiful!
Yep, that’s me 😊 Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Thank you
@@percy7068 wasn't talking to you, but you are too!
How long does it last on "Only Watch" mode?
Thank you! Someone finally made a review
You’re welcome 😊
Hi, do you think old flagships are better than this? Like watch 4/5
Can you also charge it with the back of a Samsung S24?
Are some of the watch features disabled for phones other than Samsung?

Does it work on iPhone?
Can I connect my Insta360 X3 with Samsung Watch FE ? Can I use the watch as remote control of Insta360?
Can you answer calls through the smartwatch and speak with the caller? Can you answer messages on it, typing or leaving voice messages?
Yes, you can answer or make call from watch and answer messages too.
Great review, may I ask if I can receive and answer calls if I'm outside the Bluetooth range but both the phone and the watch are under the same Wi-Fi, even if the phone is an Android but not a Samsung?
When it comes to India ??
Does anyone know if it tracks rowing?
Subscribed your channel 👍
and thats how you do a review, kudos! Got this from my wife flip6 as freebie❤
Glad you liked my review. Thanks for the positive feedback 😊
How do you charge your watch? Portable battery? Charger? And if it is a charger, what capacity do you use?
Thanks for the detailed review! Is there an option for free-text on Whatsapp or is it only quick and short responses?
What an amazing video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Is it got samsung camera controler ???
Can you receive calls on the watch?
Yes you can
Great review👍🏾
Thank you for the kind words 😊
So, speaking of the Sleep Tracking Accuracy, would you recommend it or not? If this point it's essential for someone, isn't it worth buying?

how can i open the app?
well done girl nice and concise tutorial and one that doesn't go on and on. thanks n keep up with the good work Oh by the way does it have WIFI and BLUETOOTH As others say it does not have
Thanks 👍
Can I play music on it independently without my phone being near it? I wanna ditch my phone during running because it is so heavy.
Only if you have the lte 4g version and not the bluetooth one. The bluetooth ones music only work when connected to the internet, the LTE 4G works independently.
What an amazing video and what an amazing watch. Samsung really cooked with this one.
Pouvons nous la connecter à un appareil Apple ? iPhone 15
Malheureusement, non
Thanks
The galaxy watch 6 44mm or 40mm is cheaper than the watch 4 FE
Thanks a lot. Does it have samsung pay?
You’re welcome. Yes, it has Samsung pay.
Heyy I'm a heart patient my doctor adviced me to wear a watch that keeps tracks of my heart rate so does this watch have a function to beep when heart rate is abnormal???
Can you open text messages and reply to messages on the watch?
10 /10 video tbh
Thank you for the positive feedback 🙏😊
My FE doesn't clear the daily activities from the previous day 😢
i bought it and now im watching a video lol but from everything she said looks like a made a good purchase
So a Samsung galaxy a52s can't be used on the watch????
I’m not a Samsung Phone expert, but it seems like it should be compatible-can run Android 11.0 and has over 1.5GB RAM…
what does it mean........ in the description it says Latin American version????
How well does it handle notifications?!
Very well so far in my experience
No nfc?
Yes, it has NFC
I m a huge fan samsung but i prefer a smartwatch whit 2 weeks battery minimum
You're obviously doing something different with your watch than I am. The Galaxy watch FE battery sucks. I've got cheap watches out of Temu with a better battery life
Thank you. I have returned my charge6, didn't know the app was so trash ... now FE is my go-to
You’re welcome 😊
You look ❤❤❤❤
Please send me in my country India ❤❤
are you by any chance are single?

So happy I found your page. I've watched a few reviews today and they didn't even mention anything about the product. This is so refreshing 🩵
I’m glad you found my review more helpful 😊
Her voice is actually really fine to listen to as well . Calm and professional . Pure and simple video. 10/10
