Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review
Samsung embraces Wear OS once again

Two-minute review
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a sequel to one of our favorite smartwatches ever, and it’s the first time in a while that we’ve seen the company embrace Wear OS software. It’s not your typical Wear OS watch though; it’s called One UI Watch 3, and it’s been built by Samsung with Google’s help.

On paper, the overall upgrade is limited, but the Watch 4 is suitable for anyone who’s looking for a top-end smartwatch that can track workouts, as well as offer a lot of other smart features that many alternative wrist companions can't.

That said, the Galaxy Watch 4’s compatibility isn’t as varied as previous Samsung watches. If you own an iPhone, this won’t work with it, and while it’s compatible with all modern Android phones, you’ll need to own a Samsung smartphone to access some features, such as blood pressure or ECG measurements.

That is likely to be a disappointment to many, as Samsung’s previous smartwatches are some of the best in terms of compatibility. We’d still say the Watch 4 is worth having if you own a non-Samsung Android phone, but you should note that there are limitations.
