I bought a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and it's an incredible piece of tech. I'm also dropping it for a fitness tracker, and I think you should, too.
I love a good deal, so I couldn’t resist grabbing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic when its price got knocked down by the Galaxy Watch 5‘s release. Last year’s Samsung smartwatch is gorgeous, packed with useful features, and I can safely say I’ve never used anything like it.
It’s also the first Wear OS smartwatch I’ve used, and it’s fair to say smartwatches have come a long way since the Pebble Steel I rocked in 2015. I never got tired of looking at the crisp, vivid display, and I spent the entire first day gleefully diving into menus and playing with all the features. It’s beautiful, an absolute joy to use, and crammed full of capabilities.
But the next day, I just … stopped using it. I’d played with everything notable, and the novelty had worn off immediately. But the loss of novelty isn’t bad; it happens with every new electronic device. It just meant this was the Galaxy Watch’s chance to settle into my life and show me what I’d bought it for. I’d used a fitness tracker for years — now it was time for the Galaxy Watch to show me why I needed a smartwatch.
You don’t just put a watch down But perhaps this wouldn’t have mattered, if not for my biggest bugbear: The battery life. When I sit at my desk, I place my phone down and plug it in. I don’t place my watch next to my phone. So if I’m using it to track my sleep, then there’s no natural time to charge it. If I’m using a smartwatch — and this doesn’t just apply to the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic — and want to use all the available features, I’m having to regularly find time to charge the watch. I tried leaving it to charge in the morning, but I kept forgetting it.
Granted, the Polar Pacer Pro doesn’t have the app support or features the Galaxy Watch does. It doesn’t perform an ECG, or measure my body composition, and I can’t play one of Calm’s Sleep Stories on it either. But although I could do all of those things on the Galaxy Watch, I wasn’t. I was largely using both devices the same way, and that felt like a serious waste of the Galaxy Watch’s capabilities.
