There's no doubt the Samsung Galaxy Watch is a good-looking smartwatch that will perform as well as an Apple Watch in many aspects. But its design is similar to the last two Gear watches, and a rebranding can't hide that.We also don't know how much the 4G...

The Apple Watch Series 3 is a marvellous device that deservedly rules the wearables space. (We'd recommend the GPS model, though, since cellular ups the price and lowers battery life.) It looks superb, has a good range of third-party apps and after a few...

Two sizes for large and small wrists, Battery promised to last several days, Inventive calendar watch face
Only the largest size has a big battery, LTE model is going to cost you extra, Is Bixby good enough vs Google Assistant
The new Samsung Galaxy Watch is pushing smartwatches to look like real watches and last more than a day. It nails the look and feel even if it hasn't changed much from the Gear S3, and comes in two sizes for broader appeal...
Attractive design,Solid stainless steel case,Rotating bezel is brilliant,Tizen OS's user interface is user friendly,Great battery life
Tizen OS lacking in apps,Software looks/feels the same as it has for some time,Notifications load slowly,42mm limited battery
The Samsung Galaxy Watch features a lovely, premium build quality with some great design details, including a rotating bezel on top of the display which really is a delight to use.It's chunky, some may even say bulky, but the Galaxy Watch is a solid devic...
Abstract: Sadly, this functionality never actually made it to the UK version of the Gear S3, but the company has promised it’s “working with carriers around the world”, so fingers crossed we’ll see this much-needed feature added to the Galaxy Watch in Blighty.Where...
Abstract: As expected, Samsung introduced a new Galaxy Watch at its Galaxy Note 9 event this morning in New York.The new watch marks a break from Samsung's original Gear line of watches and appears designed to rival the next Apple Watch and Google's expected Wear O...
Feels like a piece of technology, Bixby is useless, Charge time, No killer reason to buy, 3rd party app support
The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best smartwatch Samsung has ever made. It's more attractive than previous incarnations, and comes packing some neat new fitness tracking abilities, making for a compelling package.Its availability in two sizes will definite...

Tizen OS is smartly designed, Two sizes and three colors, Price
No integrated GPS, Poor Bixby experience,
The Samsung Galaxy silver bluetooth sm r800nzsaxar pretty much nailed it with this watch. The options are varied and good looking, and the rotating bezel-controlled Tizen OS software, makes it easy to use. Customization is self-explanatory and functional...
Gorgeous design, Loaded with features, Reich ecosystem of apps and watch faces, Decent battery life
Bulky, UI animations make it seem slow, Pricey, Photos by Raj Rout, ShareTweetShare
There's no doubt in my mind that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4G is pretty much the best smartwatch out there, especially if you're an Android user. Sure, Apple users can't ignore the Apple Watch, now with the Series 5 (review) and WatchOS 6 offering ECG capa...
