is your galaxy watch 3 now useless has the galaxy watch 4 ruined everything
perhaps today we're going to explore just that so sit back relax and let
me see if i can put your mind at ease or send you into a blind panic stay tuned
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy so the galaxy watch 4 is here and along with it
wear os 3.0 so what on earth does that mean for your older devices whether it be the galaxy watch
3 or the first generation galaxy watch well before i answer that i just want to say that if wear os
wasn't a thing on the galaxy watch 4 i'd still be making videos right now telling you that the first
generation galaxy watch is still a great buy like seriously had a good couple of days of battery
life it does your heart rate workouts you can make calls on it it's a great watch for a pretty great
price in comparison to the galaxy watch 4 right now then there's a galaxy watch 3 exactly the same
story sleek elegant design advanced monitoring features such as ecg and blood pressure and a
pretty awesome looking screen the watch 3 also happens to be going for a pretty low price at the
moment but samsung did actually say that older generation galaxy watches are only going to get
up to three years of updates from release now they were a bit vague on what they actually meant by
that but i'm assuming it means from the date that watch was released so if we go to the galaxy watch
three that gives you effectively two years left if we go to the first generation galaxy watch though
i think its time is already up but does samsung's stopping updates for older devices really mean
the end of the world well at least in my opinion no think about it galaxy watch 3 owners or even
first generation galaxy watch owners will do just fine without updates at least for a good while
not receiving updates isn't going to or at least shouldn't break your watch's basic features and
functions those being your sleep tracking heart rate steps workouts etc etc the kind of things
not receiving updates may break would be your app support so perhaps one day strava stops working or
worse the app store becomes unavailable this is terrible but three things first of all i think
even after your updates stop there will still be a good amount of time before you start encountering
the issues i just talked about secondly you can definitely use the galaxy watch without
updates and apps so you're not going to be forced into upgrading and my third point by the time your
galaxy watch does start encountering these issues it'll probably be time for an upgrade anyway
now with all that in mind for those of you who can't warrant splashing out on a galaxy watch
4 just yet i hope i've put your mind at ease but for the newcomers to the smartwatch market
should you buy a galaxy watch 3 now on paper you'd be buying a perfectly capable modern device which
is only one year old with some advanced features such as ecg and blood pressure like i spoke about
earlier and for what i would consider to be a very good price and if you are curious about the
current price of the galaxy watch 3 i have left links down in the description located just beneath
the like and subscribe buttons hint hint but for the purpose of longevity is the samsung galaxy
watch 3 the smartest choice right now perhaps not i still maintain that it is a great buy but
it's on tizen samsung have moved on since then the watch doesn't have a future the watch for however
this is on a new wear os platform and i honestly think samsung and google have worked really hard
to perfect it the likelihood of samsung turning around next year or even in the next five years
saying that they are moving back to tizen is very slim so for future proofing and for better value
for money it could actually be smarter right now to go ahead and purchase a galaxy watch 4.
i've also put some links to those down in the description also located below the like and
subscribe buttons the galaxy watch 4 as you've probably already seen has a lot of improvements
over the last generation galaxy watch 3. the battery life is ever so slightly better screen
is better and it has an updated processor making it significantly better than the watch 3. as you
might remember the watch 3 actually shared its internals with the first generation galaxy watch
which was a little bit cheeky from samsung if i'm honest and not in a good way it also has the
same features when it comes down to heart rate to stress sleep ecg and blood pressure but now
it has the addition of body composition analysis so this measures body fat water percentage and
all those other bits this in my opinion is a game-changing feature and it could warrant a
upgrade from the galaxy watch 3 to the galaxy watch 4 or if you're a newbie to the smartwatch
market it definitely makes the galaxy watch for a sort of worthwhile starting point so those are
my answers to a lot of the questions that you guys have been asking since the galaxy watch
4's inception all i'll say is don't panic don't be angry your older smart watches will still work you
have not wasted your money smartwatch owners to be probably have a tougher choice to make
but my advice is think valley for money don't just go for the cheapest option i want you all
to share your thoughts on the galaxy watch 4 and previous versions of the galaxy watch let me know
what you're going to be doing are you going to be upgrading or are you going to be sticking
with your older one before we do go as well if you could quickly leave a cheeky like subscribe
