Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 40mm Bluetooth Smartwatch with ECG Heart Monitor, Tracker for Health, Fitness, Running, Sleep Tracking, GPS Fall Detection, US Version, SM-R860NZKAXAA, Black

I decided to upgrade from a fitness band/watch garmin device to this smart watch. I know there are about 3 subsequent versions of this, but mine still works very well after over 2 years. Positives: - I like being able to see at least part of incoming text messages so I can decide if I need to pull out my phone to read them on a larger screen. - The do-not-disturb feature is very helpful in muting text messages when I can't afford interruptions - I do like the variety of fitness tracking options, as well as health and sleep - The battery life is still pretty good even after several years Negatives/downsides: - I still find it hard to cancel notifications rather than just snooze them (the swipe to clear feature doesn't always work--could be the screen protector I use) - It took me a while to realize that having the watch on DND means that calls won't go through on my phone even if the volume is on for that device - Battery does have to be charged each night, which limits the usability for sleep tracking (unless I charge it earlier and then can't track activity/steps) Overall still a quality device and I haven't been compelled to upgrade yet.

This is my 3rd "Smart Watch". My 1st was a Garmin which was very basic and bought by my wife. I was an avid runner and that was the Garmin's main intended purpose. However, shortly after receiving it, I had to give up running due to prolonged issues with my hip. So, it became a very expensive heart rate monitor - a function at which it excelled. My 2nd watch was a Fossil watch which was an impulse buy. It was visually attractive but excelled at nothing else. It sits on my bedside table and is rarely worn - poor integration with my phone and poor battery life make it slightly better than useless. [A cautionary tale against impulse buying.] I have been hesitant to pull the trigger on a more expensive smart watch but I lost the Garmin watch and really missed having a continuous HR monitor when I exercised. I am an old dude but my fitness is very important and HR zone targets have a proven benefit. It also keeps me on track in the gym. Well, I saw the "renewed" version of this watch, and the price point made it an almost painless proposition to give it a try. So far I love it. I have a collection of watches and usually rotate them for work but since buying this watch all of my other watches are collecting dust. The setup was painless. I have begun using an exercise app that has a continuous HR monitor and workout timer. This is the feature that is most important to me but I love playing with the other features. I emphasize "playing" because none of the other features are terribly important to me - they are merely novelties. But over time I feel some of the features will become second nature. I love being able to see my messages on the watch while at work but with Android I can just as easily see my messages on my laptop while at work [can't do that with Apple!]. Overall, a solid watch. MAJOR CON: battery life. Given the small footprint of this watch, and all that it is doing in the background, I feel a bit like an entitled brat complaining about the battery life but, if I could change one thing, that would definitely be it.

I love this watch, as I still continue to use it 6 months later at the time of this review. If your looking at something to help you keep track of the time, exercising, sleep and more, than this is for you. It has a very easy to use app, and very easy to set up, takes no more than 5 minutes to set up, not including the time it takes for the watch itself update. It looks great and functions great. You can add nice wallpapers to the background and change how the watch face looks, with different colors and styles. It does a great job at counting steps and keeping track of exercises. Even if you don't tell the watch your about to exercise it will automatically detect that you are doing one and start tracking calories burned, steps taken, and more! Even if you don't have a Samsung phone it still will work with any android phone for the most part. I no longer have a Samsung phone from when I bought this watch, but I still continue to the watch with my Google Pixel 7a. The only thing about the watch that isn't the greatest is the battery life. This watch will last one day, that's all. Luckily it is easy to charge as it just uses a included wireless charger, so you won't have to plug the watch in. Overall an amazing watch packed with great features for a great price. If your looking for a watch that isn't going to break the bank but also isn't complete garbage than this is what your looking for!

Es un smartwach muy completo para quienes tenemos un ecosistema Samsung, el wear OS es lo bueno que tiene, hasta ahora no me parece que me hagan falta las "mejoras" que tienen las versiones 5 y 6, solo el bisel giratorio de los classic es algo que extraño, pero entiendo que no lo tenga justamente por el precio. Es una version internacional, el ajuste regiona es de paises de Africa, pero eso no me ha generado problema alguno, ya sirve la funcion de electrocardiograma y presion arterial. Tiene una bateria pequeña, algo que entiendo han corregido en versiones mas actualizadas, sin embargo por el precio (2800) es una buena adquisicion, siempre que tengas en cuenta que vas a tener que cargarlo casi cada dia; si se te acomoda con la rutina, cargarlo por la mañana cuando te vas a bañar o cuando estas desayunando, o cuando estas en la computadora, puede ser una buena opcion. Si tienes mano y muñeca pequeña la version de 40 mm puede ser buena opcion para que no se vuelva estorboso, aunque tenga menor bateria, aparte de que es mas barato. SI NO TIENES ECOSISTEMA SAMSUNG HAY MEJORES OPCIONES, SOBRETODO CON MEJOR BATERIA.

Me encanta el diseño es bonito, y excelente variedad de ejercicios para realizar y incluso responder llamadas y mensajes .

Es un reloj de calidad y si es original me gusto el diseño y la calidad de los materiales, los recomiendo

The Samsung watch is very good. The nee technology has come along way. Very happy with it.
