Samsung Galaxy Watch

The style is premium but versatile, and you get all the essential features of a smartwatch in high-end form.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch is a refined vision of the company’s Gear S2 smartwatch from 2015 – and it’s the best wearable the company has yet made. We prefer the smaller 42mm model for its size and weight, though if you’re into the chunky look, the 46mm model will give you better battery life. But it’s still only at its best when paired with a Samsung phone – using it with any other brand of phone loses the message and email apps.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch is a good smartwatch as far as smartwatches go. But in an era where “flagship” equates to “showcase for new, innovative technology,” the Galaxy Watch’s flagship status comes across as self-appointed.

The Galaxy Watch doesn’t come with marketing stunts like fall detection and ECG, but instead focuses on the basics. It feels comfortable, it looks good, comes with a customization level that  Apple Watch can only dream of, and has decent battery life to address charger anxiety. And the best of all is that it doesn’t even cost a fortune. Samsung made the Galaxy Watch more affordable than its predecessor, so if you’re already a customer of the company, you should really check it out right now.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch continues the tradition set by its predecessors: it's a well-made, easy to use, durable and attractive smartwatch. Tizen has its lures, but is app limited, however, which is the watch's main shortcoming.

As a smartwatch that looks to improve your wellness through heart rate monitoring and activity tracking while also doubling as a proficient smartphone companion or even a standalone workout tool over LTE, the Galaxy Watch is right up near the top of what a modern smartwatch can do. It’s got a superb design, it’s interface is the best of any watch on the market, and while it’s starting price of $330 ain’t cheap, it is less expensive than a new Apple Watch.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best smartwatch Samsung has ever made. It's more attractive, has brilliant battery life, and comes packing some neat new fitness tracking abilities. The Galaxy Watch's biggest problem is that Samsung hasn't given you a killer reason to buy one and keep wearing it.

Samsung's latest wearable has some great aspects like notification management, exercise tracking, and solid design. I can even forgive some shortcomings like the poor app support. However, this just isn't the right time.

Whether you choose the bigger or smaller device, the Samsung Galaxy Watch is a sturdy and stylish smartwatch with plenty of power and a truly lovely user interface thanks to its rotating bezel and Tizen OS.

Whether you pick up the big or small Samsung Galaxy Watch, you're getting a smartwatch that makes a much more compelling argument for Android phone owners than a Wear watch does right now, even if it may not necessarily see iPhone users ditch their Apple Watch just yet.
