I was hoping this was the watch I had been waiting for, a fully-featured compact LTE sports watch. On paper it is, unfortunately, it does not make the grade. First, battery life is terrible, you cannot run a half marathon listening to music without the battery running down. I have not had a single day where the watch hasn't requested to go into power-saving mode because the battery is critically low. Second, its tracking is terrible, it seems incapable of accurately measuring a mile, giving ridiculous pace notifications. It was so bad I wore my old Garmin on my other arm as a reference, the watch4 is so far off it's demotivating on a run. Lastly, the bezel is not holding up at all it is all scratched and nicked after a month of light wear. is not very durable, iI wanted to love this watch, but Samsung has way overpromised and underdelivered.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have never in my whole life have had such a bad watch as this Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. When I first got it, it only held a 4 hour battery life. So, I returned it to the store. The store apologized and swopped it out for another new watch. And the new one got 5 hours of battery life. And they worked with me with the first and second watch to see if I had something turned on that wasn't supposed to be turned on. And there wasn't. So, now I'm returning the watch and getting my money back. Very bad.

I've had several samsung watches and one apple watch, and what I love about the galaxy watch 4 is how comfortable it is to wear. With previous watches even the galaxy watch 1 I always had this heavy weight on wrist that I just had to take off at the end of the day. With the watch 4 I'm finding that once I put it on I pretty much forget it's there other than using it for what it's intended purposes are. It's not too heavy or too bulky, and often I'm still wearing it when I'm getting ready for bed, and have to remind myself to take it off and put it on the charger. I love this watch in particular.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch about a month ago and it has been great. It's very light and comfortable on my wrist. The touchscreen is super easy to use. This watch has so many features and options. I owned the S3 frontier before this and it was an ok watch but a bit clunky. This one is so much better. I was worried the screen would be too small for my big fingers but it works fine and I haven't had any problems.
I would recommend this to a friend!
