The stress meter is always in the green and no matter how many times i factory reset or update, the sensor still will not pick up any reading. This feature was my main reason for buying the watch and seeing as i can not use it, pretty big let down.

Middle exercise accuracy

So I set a route to run using Google maps to see the exact distance. After the run, the watch said I only did .75 miles when Maps said it was 1 mile. Also the compass is a good 25⁰ off when I sat it next to a actual compass.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had multiple Samsung smart watches and this one does not match up. It over heats all the time and the battery could last all day, or could die in 5 hours.

Poor battery life
on March 5, 2023
Posted by: Nofaith
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so disappointed that this watch wouldn't hold a charge sometimes for only a few hours.

I love this watch but....

Regarding my purchase, double check the prices and make sure you take screenshots leading up to the checkout, as it will help you if you find yourself a victim of price changes and misleading information about products you never received like an extra Black Hybrid Leather Band that was an additional band ordered and wasn't in there. Instead I received my first pick navy blue sports band. This lead me to dealing with them on the phone for 37 mins and 13 seconds. In order to straighten out the details. So make sure you screen capture the checkout and verify that the prices and items listed is correct. Cause you can save yourself so much headache when you do these steps in case you need to get reimbursed or a missing product not received. Put the date and time with your screen capture and match it with your invoice. When received your item, if all looks good, just trash the screen captures.
Cause prices were changed by ten dineros here, ten dinero there. Also my band I selected with my watch became a charge as an additional watch so be aware!!!
The watch 4 itself is very beautfiul. Battery life is not that much different than my Galaxy Watch S2 model. It has a vibrant and crisp display, but, the functions remains somewhat the same. I think it's missing features as far as what exercise modes there is. For example, if you are doing cardio/HIIT, there is nothing in there that indicates this. So you may have to select circuit training, running (which isn't the same as HIIT). Or at least customize the workout so you can give it a label and specifically indicate what type of workout you are performing. I turn on the bluetooth to pair the information with my phone, to receive updates, also, to get the phone and watch in synced just to get that info onto my phone. There are room for improvements and I understand this is still new and I hope in future updates, they will give you more customizations as I feel it's lacking things here and there. Battery life has improved slightly, but, not the way I hoped. I was expecting at least 5-7 days on a single charge. The only way you could maximize your battery to last about 3-5 days is to turn your bluetooth off, wifi, data, gps, and grayscale, and periodically check your time. I have power saving mode turned on, but, it's helping just a bit. I am hoping they would improve this in the long run. I expected this to be leaps and bounds. Especially concerning the battery life, but, you have to ration your display and limit what apps you used. So, if you are seriously using this for workouts, counting your steps, keeping track of calories burned and so on..... Yet, you don't mind charging your watch every other day or so. This may be for you. Cause otherwise, if you are looking to use to handle everything you throw at it, be prepared to have your watched charged every day and if you're fine with that. Then that's fine as well. If you're expecting this to last and last like some other brands out there, know that the price isn't super high at this time, so if you want a longer battery life. Do your research and find one that suit your needs. ECG isn't really helpful at this time and the lack of information on what these numbers mean without that much information. Needs improve. Check your Beats-per-minute is nice, but, stress level once again, it doesn't give that much information. So, I feel like it's kind of basic in that department. Maybe it's just me, because I was expecting more. Although I will keep this product, but, I feel this will be used for workouts, time, fashion, and loving the ability to change the watch face digitally on screen, also nice to see my notifications on text messages, phone calls and answering them. It's not much that different from previous galaxy watches, but, then again, I only have the S2 model, so I don't others to compare to. Other brands do give you more bang for your buck, so do your research and select one that suit your needs.

Poor battery life, fewer face options
on September 8, 2021
Posted by: CassB

I "upgraded" from the original Galaxy watch and have had this Galaxy4 Classic for a couple of weeks now...here are my thoughts. The battery is terrible. Barely get one day and one night before you have to charge it. Plan on charging every single day. This is much worse than the original galaxy watch. Even after tweaking the settings, the battery is awful. Next, the Wear OS is cumbersome and confusing compared to the original galaxy watch. You have to install on the phone and the watch to make it work. Also, MUCH less options for watch faces than the original Galaxy. Overall, I feel like a sucker for getting the latest, when in fact the original is still a better product. Save your money and stick with the one you have...all the websites saying this is great must be getting paid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
