Ask my brain to remember that I love the steak tips at Texas Roadhouse.
Bixby has admittedly been absolute trash on Samsung smart watches since forever.
But finally with the Galaxy Watch 4 we get a fully functional and incredibly powerful tool.
And I'm going to prove it in this video. This is why Bixby on the Galaxy Watch 4
is amazing. And as always, I'll have video time code down the description. You guys can quickly
find the features you care most about. And if you appreciate your time codes, let
me know by dropping like downbelow, in case you're wondering all the features I'm going to show you
in this video. Also work when connected to a non Samsung Android device, with one exception.
But I'll show you a workaround for that in the capsule section of this video, which is
timecodeed down below. While I'll be activating Bixby with the home button throughout this video.
You can also just use the wake up command. Hi, Bixby. If that's not enabled on your
galaxy watch, just hold the home button and say enable voice. Wake up. But since I'm going to be
saying Bixby a lot during this video, I recommend turning it back off so it doesn't keep activating
why you watch the video to turn it off. Just hold the home button again and say, turn off
voice. Wake up. And one last thing I'm going to cut out some of the wait times between
when I say something and when Bixby actually responds just to speed up the video a bit.
So just keep in mind that while it may seem like it in this video, Bixby does not give
instantaneous responses. Most responses will take just about as long as the one you just saw. Now
let's take a deep dove, starting with some of the more useful settings you can change with Bixby.
Obviously, I have this giant glove on right now, and I won't be able to
interact with the screen because the glove is so thick. That's not a problem, though,
because I can just hold the home button and say turn on touch sensitivity.
And just like that, I can now use these thick gloves with the screen changing a
baby's diaper and they keep touching your watch and replying to emails, texts and making calls.
Not a problem. Just hold down the home button and say turn on water lock.
Now, no matter how much they touch the screen, they won't be able to interact with anything.
Then when you're done changing the diaper, just hold the home button for a few seconds.
And what a local turnoff. You can also ask Bixby to do things like turn
on bedtime mode for sleep tracking. Turn your watch into a flashlight. Make
your phone started ringing by saying, find my phone and so much more. Basically, if there's a
setting you want to change or enable. Just try asking Bixby. And chances are it'll work.
If you want to quickly make reservations at a restaurant, just say book a table for two at
an Italian restaurant for tomorrow night at six p.m. in Boston. That's going to bring up a list
of a bunch of Italian restaurants in Boston that can scroll through and select from.
And if I select a restaurant that doesn't have an opening at that time.
Bixby will suggest a different time that is available. Then I can just
scroll down and change my party size. Change the date, change the time.
And if I scroll down further, you'll see all of my personal contact information. So I'm not going
to scroll further down. But if I tap time, Bixby will show me all the available times to make the
reservation for five films close enough. So I'm going to tap that.
Now, I could have replied to Bixby and said, confirm or swipe it away and just tap the
word confirm. And as soon as that's tapped, the reservation would be made for tomorrow night.
And in case you're wondering if you're on a road trip and you don't know the name of
the town you're currently in. You can't just say nearby instead of a specific town and they'll give
you a results based on your current location. Bixby also lets you set up detailed calendar
appointments. So, for example, I could just say. Create an event called Family Trip on Wednesday
at 10 a.m. at the Boston Aquarium. So that one command as a title to the event has the time
and the date for the event as well as the location, Bixby is also aware of
your existing calendar events. So if I try to make another event in that same time, it'll tell me
create an event for lunch with Kyle on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Olive Garden in Boston.
And since there's a collision, it does give me the option to change the time by tapping it.
Thursday at five PM. And since there were no collisions on a Thursday at five p.m.,
it'll let me save the event. Bixby has at full access to smart things, which means you can
control anything connected to smart things. So I could say something like off a studio
lights on. And I can just turn them back off by saying office studio lights off.
And smart things is way more powerful than just turning on or off lights. If you've got a robot
vacuum, you could tell us to start cleaning. Got a smart dishwasher, tell it to start or
stop. You can even change the TV channel and volume if you have a Samsung TV.
Smart things even let you set up something called a scene, which lets you issue a bunch of different
commands by saying just one single command. And if you set up one of those scenes on your
phone, you can access it from Bixby on your watch. An example of a powerful
scene would be something called goodnight. That would at turn off all your lights.
Change your thermostat settings. Turn off the coffeemaker. Lock your doors and anything else
you'd like it to do, as long as the devices are connected to your smart things account.
Bixby can also answer the obvious simple weather questions like what's the hourly forecast?
When is sunrise or sunset? But you can also ask more advanced questions like what's the
air quality in New York? And this gives you a ton of information if you scroll down.
So if I go down, you can see ozone particles, PPM,
two point five particles, PPM, 10, sulfur dioxide and even carbon monoxide.
If it's in the middle of the winter and you're worried about your pipes freezing, if it gets
too cold, you can even ask questions like will it drop below zero degrees tonight in Boston?
You can even change weather settings by saying things like Save Celsius as my preferred unit.
I showed the most powerful Samsung health feature you could activate with Bixby in my first ten
things to do with the Galaxy Watch 4 video. So I won't rehash that here. If you want to see that,
you can check that out by clicking the video card that sliding out above and
watching the very beginning of that video . Some things I didn't discuss is that you
could use Bixby to start a breathing exercise just by saying start breathing.
You can also start stress and heart rate measurements. And in case you're wondering,
two things you can't do at the time of making this video are
start body composition measurements or an ECG. Maybe those options will come in a future update.
But as of today, you'll have to start those manually. Bixby's also Gravier doing some quick
math or conversions, trying to figure out a tip. What's 20 percent of 32? Doing some cooking and
forgot how to make some conversions. How many teaspoons in a tablespoon?
And you can even do some advanced math, like what is cosine of 36.
After all that, I'm still just scratching the surface with all the things you can do with Bixby
on the Galaxy Watch 4, there's tons of simple things you can do, like creating, changing or
marking reminders as complete, sending messages and having Bixby read back your
most recent messages, calling people, asking Bixby what song is playing on nearby speakers,
playing specific playlist on Spotify, setting and changing alarms and timers. You can even set
alarms for specific periods of times, like set an alarm for 7:00 a.m. on Monday through Friday.
And then I can change that alarms time and days, change my 7:00 a.m. alarm to seven and set it for
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. At this point in the video, you're probably still wondering what
on earth I was doing at the beginning of the video asking my brain to remember things.
This is where we discuss Bigsby capsules. These are plug ins for Bixby that make it even
more powerful. To get these, you have to open up the Bixby app on your phone.
If you are a Samsung device, you'll have a dedicated Bigsby application preinstalled.
Just go ahead and open up that application and tap on the marketplace for all capsule's
option. From here, you can either scroll through all the available capsules or you can scroll
across the top and sort them by category. If you want to know if the capsules will work
with your galaxy, watch for you. Just have to look for these little watch icon that's next to the
capsules. So these three will work with the Galaxy Watch. But this one right here, won't it?
Because there's no watch symbol. And as you can imagine, here is where one of the limitations come
in when using a galaxy watch with a non Samsung Android device. At the time of making this video,
there's simply no capsule marketplace on any non Samsung Android device.
Fortunately, I did find a super easy workaround. And that workaround has
to do with just using Bixby on your Galaxy watch that's connected to the non Samsung
Android device. As long as you know what the name of the capsule is in this case, there's
a capsule here called Air Quality Alert. All you have to do is go on your galaxy. Watch.
Open up Bixby and say ask air quality alert what the air quality is. And just like that,
out of the capsule to my Galaxy Watch 4, that's only connected to my pixel device and the command
didn't have to be exactly what I just said. It just has to start with the word ask.
Followed by the name of the capsule. The hard part now just becomes a finding the names of
the capsules that you want to install. And that's a bit more difficult because you
don't need to find a friend with a Samsung device to show you all the names of the
capsules. And while I can't just go through all of these different capsules for you,
because as you can see, there are a ton. I did look through every single one of these and it did
find my favorite that I'd like to share with you, and that capsules called my brain.
And what this does is remember basically anything you ask it to. So at the beginning of this video,
I asked you to remember that I love the steak tips at Texas Roadhouse. But if it had been weeks,
months, years, and I'd forgotten what it was that I loved at Texas Roadhouse,
I could just ask it like this . Ask my brain what I loved at the Texas
Roadhouse. And just like that, I'll know what to order, and this obviously doesn't
stop here either. You can ask it to remember really specific things, like ask my brain to
remember that I parked on the third floor next to a blue column with C nine written on it.
Then when I'm headed back to my car, I just ask ask my brain, where did I park?
Now, obviously, it would be a good thing if it always remembered every single place you parked,
because then it would just bring back a list of all the different places and
you'd have to go through it to find the right one. So you can also delete specific memories.
All you have to do is recall a specific memory. And then while it's on your screen, ask it to
be deleted. Ask my brain, where did I park? So here's the memory that I brought back up.
And while it's on the screen, I just say, ask my brain to delete this memory.
Yes. And if you have a Samsung phone or tablet and want to delete these memories quickly,
all you have to do is bring up the memories on your phone or tablet by using Bixby and saying,
ask my brain to show my memories Premiere. I can delete all memories
tappa specific memory and delete just that memory or even edit a memory memory.
Now, all these functions are also available on the watch. It's just a lot faster to make
these modifications on a phone or a tablet. Now it's up to you to dig through the capsules to
find even more features that are specific to your needs. And let me know down in the comments below
