The charging apparatus for the watch gets worse with each release. The cable itself is extremely short, the charging pad is too small to keep the 40mm stable, and the whole thing twists itself around. It is awful, and compared to the price of the watch this is a joke. I can't even consider buying the paid-for premium charger by Samsung because the review on that is even worse. Having no good charger, this watch is basically useless. Very sad to see a good product line go down the drain like this.
I've always wanted one of these smartwatch. I Love the look and features they have and now finally it has Wear OS. Unfortunately is missing 2 things that are holding me back from purchasing this one; and that's the Google Assistant and Google Fit. I'll purchase if I see that get updated or I'll just wait for Google's Pixel watch...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am very disappointed in the battery life of the Galaxy watch 4. I have had a Galaxy watch for 5 years and only replaced it because the battery in it eventually wouldn't hold a charge for more than 6 hours. This new one has to be charged every day from the get go, really really disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This classic 4 is my 3rd galaxy watch and they are great watches. Nice looking and easy to use. My only complaints are the battery life and the bands. The bands are ridiculously hard to change and so frustrating. Trying to insert the pin in one side while sliding back and holding a hard to touch slider and insert a band that barely fits and then let go of the slider and then hoping it's in the hole is ridiculous for such an expensive watch. I seriously wish they would take a lesson from the Apple bands that slide in and click when locked in place.
I would recommend this to a friend!
