Abstract: In a sea of Gear Fit 2 Pros, Apple Watch Series 4s and Casio WSD-F30s, the name "Samsung Galaxy Watch" is something of a relief, isn't it? It has the dual advantage of simplicity and cachet, with Samsung's premium "Galaxy" brand not having been seen on...

Abstract: Divorce yourself from the far out scifi depictions and crazy nerd dreams of what a smartwatch is supposed to be for just a second, and instead think about what makes sense for a wrist-mounted device in 2018. Youll quickly realize theres a huge gap betwe...
The Galaxy Watch looks like a real watch, and the build quality is fantastic, Even the smaller watch gets better battery life than beefy Wear OS watches, The rotating bezel is both satisfying to use and efficient for navigating the OS, Samsung's fitness t
Tizen has an almost total lack of apps. Watch faces are a little better, but you're still not going to have as many options as Wear OS, I would kill to have Assistant on this watch. Bixby is almost useless, The $330 starting price is steep when smartwatch
Not right now. The Galaxy Watch is great at some things, but it's not a great time to go spending $330-350 on a smartwatch just as Wear OS is undergoing radical changes with a new SoC and interface. Even if I can't give the Galaxy Watch a full-throated re...

Attractive Design, Durable And Water Resistant, Highly Customizable, Buttery Smooth Performance
Somewhat Pricey, Some Minor Software Hiccups, A Little Thick
We really like Samsung's new Galaxy Watch. Samsung has improved upon or refined almost every aspect of the device versus its previous-gen wearables. Our experience using the Galaxy Watch daily was pleasurable, overall. The device offers excellent battery...
Lasts up to five days on a single charge, Crisp AMOLED screen, Rotating bezel, Accurate heart rate monitor, Resistant to dust and water,
Expensive, 46mm version is chunky, Fitness tracking accuracy not up to par in testing
The attractive Samsung Galaxy Watch has better battery life and is easier to use than most smartwatches, but its fitness tracking features aren't up to par...

Comfortable fit with standard strap, Buttons and dial are easy (and fun) to use, Classic yet current look and feel, Automatic activity tracking is simple and helpful, Tizen is smooth and ready for prime-time
Doesn't come in all-black, Needs 4 apps to connect to non-Samsung Android, Limited functionality with iPhone, No MST for Samsung Pay (uses NFC instead)
The Samsung Galaxy Watch is an extremely capable piece of hardware, and a pretty great companion for my phone. This is the first smartwatch with which I've not gotten annoyed at for its less-than-intuitive user interface, or its lack of usable apps. Here...

Handsome water-resistant design Great battery life Excellent OLED screen Mostly accurate sleep tracking
Bixby is a lousy assistant, Workout tracking can be finicky, S Health companion app needs work
The Galaxy Watch is Samsung's most fleshed-out smartwatch yet, and the company's fans won't find a better wearable. With that said, the new things Samsung added to its smartwatch formula -- Bixby and stress tracking especially -- fell short of their poten...
Available in Bluetooth and 4G LTE variants, Two sizes available, Almost four-day battery life, Interchangeable watch straps, Samsung Pay, Outstanding OLED display
Bixby is still meh, No MST for Samsung Pay, only NFC, Not very comfortable to wear at night
The Galaxy Watch is a very compelling wearable; it seems to effectively check every box out there. From price and functionality to battery life and even product and service compatibility. The Galaxy Watch is compatible with all Android smartphones running...
Elegant, classy design, Vibrant display, Solid metal construction, Packed with features, Good fitness/sleep tracker, Samsung Pay support is awesome, Tizen is sleek and intuitive, Bluetooth/LTE connectivity, Wireless charging
Bixis unreliable, Very little internal storage
The Galaxy Watch tries to be a smartwatch that does a little bit of everything. Samsung's execution isn't flawless, but it balances the act of being a fitness tracker and smartwatch in one package extremely well...
