Samsung Galaxy Watch
As smartphones get more and more advanced, many companies have started to release smartwatches, which essentially carry many of the features offered on smartphones but in the form of a watch. If you have a smartphone, the company will usually have a watch that is compatible. For example, those who have iPhones can purchase the Apple Watch, which will be compatible for use with the phone.
Smartwatches not only will, well, function as a watch, but you will also be able to see your messages, calls, the weather, and a lot more information simply by taking a look at your wrist.
For those looking for an alternative to the Apple Watch, Samsung has produced the Samsung Galaxy watch. It is considered to have an extremely long battery life- between two and four days, depending on the size the wearer chooses and how much they use the watch- and it has great features for those who are interested in fitness.
- One of the main reasons why people recommend buying the Samsung Galaxy Watch is due to its battery life
- A great alternative for those who want the Android version of the Apple Watch
- This new model is made of much more durable material and is tougher than ones made in the past by Samsung
- The watch comes in different sizes, allowing people to choose the one that is best for their own wrists
- People have said that it feels a lot more like a piece of jewelry than the expensive accessory that it is
- Some people have said that there is nothing too special about the watch that makes it stand out in comparison to other smart watches and that would motivate people to buy it
Activities
Basic Features
The watch will connect with both Bluetooth and LTE. It offers smart notifications and over 60,000 choices for customizable watch faces. It also offers fitness tracking, which is one of the main things that many people raved about. So, this watch is perfect for anyone who is looking for something to help them with their fitness.
It also is water resistant, which is a great feature for any smart device. The Samsung Galaxy watch also has built-in speakers and a built-in microphone, as well as Samsung Pay. And finally, the size of the face of the watch is 42mm or 46mm, and it is round.
Connectivity
In order for you to be able to access all the features and everything that the watch offers, you will need to connect it with a mobile device. You are able to set up your watch without a phone, however. With your mobile device, you will be able to sync everything you do between the phone and the watch, so all your information will be available on both. This is recommended in case anything happens to the one device.
A unique feature of the Samsung Galaxy watch is that it is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. However, for the latter, you might not be able to use all of the features on the watch, such as email and Samsung Pay. But there are people who have iPhones who do use the Samsung Galaxy watch.
In addition to these features, the Samsung Galaxy is also available for connection via Bluetooth and LTE.
Apps
You can view the weather, look at your daily briefings, listen to music, and choose your own watch face out of 60,000 options. The watch also is said to have a great operating system- in fact, some people have considered it to be the best out of all the ones on smartwatches. You also have a lot of control over the apps that you do have and can respond to messages quite easily.
Comfort
However, even the 42mm version is said to be a bit bulky on small wrists- not to the point where it has an unattractive look, but if you do have smaller wrists and don’t want something that looks bulky whatsoever, that is something to consider before purchasing this watch. However, on people who had average-sized wrists, they said that the watch fit nicely and did not look too bulky on their wrists. In fact, one of the main features of the Samsung Galaxy watch is that it looks just like a regular watch- which could be a good or bad thing, depending on the individual’s tastes.
And while the watch does have sleep tracking, people who own it said that the watch is not very comfortable to wear while sleeping due to its bulky size.
Style
The Samsung Galaxy watch also comes in three colors- rose gold, midnight black, and silver, and it comes in two sizes, 42mm and 46mm. If you are someone who has smaller wrists, then it is recommended that you choose the 42mm, but if you have rather large wrists, then the 46mm will suit you. They are pretty bulky, however, so this should be taken into consideration.
Durability
Face
The face is highly durable and made out of high-quality material. In addition, it is water repellent and dust repellent.
You can also choose between thousands of different options for how you want the face of the watch to look. If you want the watch to appear as a typical, everyday watch, you can always choose that. Also, if you want to save battery, you can always turn the display off, which would then make the face simply a black circle.
Battery
The battery in the 42mm model is the 270-mAh battery, and the battery in the larger model is the 472-mAh battery.
The watch comes with a wireless charging dock. However, a complaint that some people had is that it takes a while to charge, but perhaps this is not such a big deal when taking into consideration how long the watch lasts without needing charge.
Price
In the United Kingdom, the smaller watch is £279, and the price of the larger version of the watch starts at around £299.
