Samsung Made A Better Watch Than Google! - Watch4 Classic

Google's line of WearOS smartwatches has been a bit of a rocky road as there hasn't been a version or brand that can take on Apple's smartwatches. Jake has been a fan of Samsung smartwatches since the Watch2 Active, so let's take a peek at the Watch4 classic.

This guy's watch use is just like mine, never go anywhere, just notifications and calls coz I don't wanna carry my phone across the whole house.

[thesidejoe]

Definitely want to see a full review, maybe when Google assistant and Google pay are added since that's what's currently holding me back, everything being only Samsung stuff

[Totone]

The "Control the music on the phone" part was already there before, pretty useful. If Spotify or any other app (works with any media) is casting on Google Home or other stuff from the phone, you can use the crown of your watch to change the volume without even looking at it, pretty neat party trick.

and by buying he actually means "borrowing" from the office like every other LMG members does to their homes... ;)

I got one of these, I love it! Feels like a solid upgrade from my Active 2, the rotating bezel is really nice.

[VincentMarcel]

"Can you play cod mobile on a watch?"
Yeah I've seen that one before

[djvidual]

"The only thing worse than Bixby is Siri". You forgot about Cortana my friend xD

[NigelMelanisticSmith]

7:46 I am always surprised by how many Apple Watch users don't know that you can change the bubbles to a list, lol

[miniclip]

Thank you for pointing out that there's finally a badminton option on the watch itself, great review overall!

Cortana: "Am I a joke to you?"

I've had the gear S2 and am currently on the active 2 (over a year now) biggest drawbacks have to be google assistant and Google play features missing. Also I feel more confident wearing the active because moving parts seem bound to fail, my gear S2's rotating bezel now only is a hit or miss, sometimes it goes in the opposite direction. But the feel and usability of it is so awesome. I hope the durability on this new one is better. And the raise to wake feature on the active 2 is as hit or miss as is mentioned in the video.

On a side note, you can switch the Apple Watch Apps to a list format instead

[leonellthelion]

I'm definitely buying the base Watch 4 (non-classic) as smaller watches fit better with my small hands.

Gonna be my first smartwatch too.

[TheLinkhawkins]

The active 2 having the lift to wake issue is no joke. Seems like more often than not it does not turn on for me. Glad to hear they fixed it.

[McMidjit]

I'm still rocking a gear S3 classic, this might be the time to finally upgrade

[NonLegitNation]

I got mine, the classic 46mm two days ago and so far I'm loving it. I upgraded to this from a active2 and my biggest gripe was the lag when doing voice to text with the watch figuring out what I was saying lag when actually sending the text, it was horrible on my active2, but on this new watch there's absolutely no lag.

[mayrbek]

i was able to get this watch for 130 euros on black friday, it's crazy how cheap they get after a year or two

[NicTheCapsicum]

I absolutely love my Watch3, and am very much looking forward to upgrading. Glad they haven't got rid of the rotating bezel because it is fantastic

[jasssedine]

Rocking my 40mm LTE version for - I think - 2 weeks now and it has been nice. Google assistant would be even better but frankly Bixby isn't that dumb.
I'm a smoll guy, so the smallest version was definitely for me.
