Why should you buy it? For its feature-packed package and variety of sizes.

For whom it is? Anyone with an Android phone who wants a smart watch.

The Galaxy Watch 4 is the best Samsung smartwatch on the market right now. It’s the company’s first device to run the new Google Wear platform, co-designed by Samsung and Google.

This smartwatch features a round design that is suitable for both women and men. If you want the joy of rotating the bezel, you can go for the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, but you’ll have to pay a little more. It is best for people with narrower wrists.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 comes with features like ECG and heart rate tracking, as well as a wide range of fitness features. It offers amazing performance packed in durable stainless steel construction in the Classic variant.

It is offered in 42 and 46mm variants. On the other hand, the vanilla Galaxy Watch 4 is lightweight with a minimalist design and comes in 40mm and 44mm models. Get 5ATM, IP68, MIL-STD-810G durability ratings for your swimming, weightlifting and running needs.

Wear OS 3 means you get a full suite of apps from the Google Play store, including Spotify, YouTube Music, Google Maps, Samsung Pay and more. It is available in various color options including black, silver, green, and rose gold.

Notably, the base variant is 12 grams lighter than the 52-gram Watch 4 Classic. It fits comfortably on the wrist with the included silicone strap. The Galaxy Watch 4’s screen sits flush with the aluminum body, but there’s a black bezel surrounding it along with two lug buttons.

The physical buttons can be used to return to the home screen or reopen a previously opened app. On the other hand, with the Classic model, you can navigate through the user interface with the digital crown.

You can also swipe your finger across the Watch 4’s bezel, and it should replicate the same effect as rotating the physical bezel, complete with haptics. Smart-wise, you get Bixby if you want to use voice commands.

Apps like Spotify and YouTube Music support offline listening mode, which means you can leave your phone at home when you’re out for a run. You get media controls for most apps, including Audible, Netflix, and Pocket Casts.

The Watch 4 can measure an impressive array of stats, including Body Mass Index (BMI), Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), weight, muscle, fat mass, and body fat.

The resulting numbers are provided largely as a breakdown or explanation of what it really means. By contrast, stress tracking doesn’t return as much data, but simply plots it on a graph.

Why should you buy it? Your appearance. While elegant, it maintains a traditional watch look.

For whom it is? Anyone willing to buy a traditional looking smartwatch.

If you want a Samsung smartwatch with a sleek, traditional look, the Galaxy Watch 3 is the one. Don’t worry, style doesn’t mean compromising durability.

It comes with an IP68 waterproof rating and MIL-STD-810G drop certification, plus Gorilla Glass DX over the screen. It has a traditional strap, and if you buy the leather one, it will fit you well.

It is made of stainless steel and has two buttons separated by a protection piece on the right of the case. It’s packed with features: There’s SpO2 and VO2 Max monitoring, sleep tracking, and a host of other fitness features.

Despite its sporty appearance, it has an ECG monitor, but it loses control of its blood pressure. The 45mm Galaxy Watch 3 is chronograph-style and slightly more masculine than the 41mm model, weighing 53 grams and measuring just 11mm thick.

It comes equipped with a 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display that has a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels making it sharp and colourful. Overall, the design helps make it look like a regular watch.

There are two buttons on the right edge. A long press of the top button activates Samsung Pay, and a long press of the bottom button summons the Bixby voice assistant. The haptics are strong and noticeable too. It is possible to interact with notifications with emoji, voice or a small alphanumeric keyboard.

Navigation is comfortable and intuitive, with a very fast response from the sensor, so you can turn it from one side to the other without the watch getting stuck. Rotate the bezel left to see your notifications and right to see fitness data, workouts, weather, quick access buttons and more.

It runs Tizen, which is Samsung’s internal operating system for its portable devices. It’s refined and mature and has usability considerably closer to WatchOS than Wear OS.

The small screen displays large, clear text with good readability in sunlight. Also, the array of widgets can be customized, so you rarely need to visit the main menu of the app.

Why should you buy it? Its a plethora of fitness features on a budget.

For whom it is? Anyone looking for a fitness-focused Samsung smartwatch.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 offers many of the same features you get on the Watch 3 and 4. For example, it includes an ECG app and fall detection along with a digital bezel with a thicker frame.

It is light and small, so it fits almost everyone. The built-in GPS function is especially useful for outdoor runs, but it does drain the battery. You can handle calls, texts, and app notifications, as well as get Spotify support on the 2.5GB of storage.

There’s an LTE version that gives you that kind of connectivity, so you can take calls on the go without your Android phone. It is comfortable to wear during workouts and at night to detect sleep. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 won’t be mistaken for a traditional watch, even from afar.

The 44mm model has a 1.4-inch screen with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels, while the 40mm is 1.2-inches, perfect for those with smaller wrists. Either one is easy to read in direct sunlight and looks great in almost any lighting situation.

It features two buttons on the right edge of the watch that are easy to press and don’t protrude too far. The Active 2 also has the necessary water and dust resistance ratings. It meets IP68 and 5-ATM standards, enabling features like swim tracking.

Like the Galaxy Watch 3, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 runs Tizen OS. It handles notifications well as the app groups them into screens for you to swipe or scroll through. It offers a variety of attractive covers with different functions and styles.

It also adds a feature called My Style, which is a unique way to match your watch face to your outfit. All you need to do is take a picture of your outfit in the Galaxy Watch app and some patterned backgrounds will be generated for you to choose from.

Third-party app integrations include Twitter, YouTube, and Google Translate. You can scroll through your Twitter feed, like and retweet. It can last for two days with light use. If you include 30 to 60 minutes of exercise, you’ll probably need to charge up before bed.

What is the best Samsung smartwatch in 2022?

While these are the best options for each category and price point, if we’re forced to choose, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is the company’s best smartwatch on the market right now.

It’s sleek, stylish, and beautifully designed, while offering a host of fitness features along with durability. Plus, it comes in two sizes, 40 to 46mm (including Vanilla and Classic models), appealing to a wide variety of consumers.

The fit of the Galaxy Watch 4 is comfortable and it’s especially good for smaller wrists. Both variants have an IP68 waterproof rating, plus a MIL-STD-810 G-rated casing for added toughness.

It can measure your heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), body mass index (BMI), Basel metabolic rate (BMR), stress levels, and more. As for the specifications, the watch is powered by Exynos W920 processor, it comes with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

The abundance of features, smooth and responsive operating system, comfortable design and ergonomic controls make the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series the best on the market for Android smartphone users.

Tizen or Wear OS 3: which is the best?

Google and Samsung collaborated to bring Tizen OS features with Wear OS 3. While Tizen-powered smartwatches are still good for the price, Wear OS 3 is the latest wearable operating system and can last longer they run Tizen OS.

Both are easy to use and navigate, have great fitness tracking systems, mobile payment options, and will run apps available from their individual app stores.
