i've completely transformed my galaxy watchful classic from something that's a bit boring and
generic into something that better resembles a classic more traditional watch not just in terms
of looks but i've also optimized some of the settings and added some apps to help the whole
experience with phones there's tons of things that you can do to make them more personal to you
and i thought these things weren't really possible with a smartwatch until i tried it so how did
i transform my galaxy watch for classic well to start off i added a strap-on all the intro wait no
hello everyone welcome to tech it easy leave a like on your way in so as i was saying the
first thing that i did to jazz my galaxy watch 4 classic up was to add a new strap so this strap
is from a company called this company and there will be a link to it down in the description now
you've got to be careful when you're picking your galaxy watch for straps because some of them can
actually interfere with the charging and even the sensors but this one this one has been great hence
why i'm recommending it to you it was a bit of a pain to install but i'm pretty sure you're
going to get that with any traditional watch as well but we got there in the end and it fits
great now i have the black version of the galaxy watch 4 classic but i wanted to change things up
a bit so i decided on a silver theme we've got our silver strap on and then i got this a silver bezel
protector from rinky i'm sure you've all heard of them before they make a lot of smartphone cases
and apparently smartwatch accessories too there will be a link to them down below as well
essentially it's a stick on metal bezel there's a few different styles and colors to choose from
but i particularly like the texture on this one i thought it had quite a luxury vibe about it
they are quite cheap as well really easy to make your galaxy watch 4 look unique and the
installation process is super simple but now you might be thinking okay you've got a black galaxy
watchful classic a silver strap and a silver bezel isn't that going to look a little bit
odd so i was trying to find a solution to this and i came across a company called fita who actually
sell galaxy watch for classic cases of all things so these are these sort of rubbery cases which at
first i admit thought were a little bit cheap they only cost six pounds and i got two in a
pack so i got this one which is the black one and i also got a silver one which again
i thought was going to look a little bit naff but when i got it on the galaxy watch 4 classic
with the strap and the bezel it all came together and to be honest in my opinion looks fantastic
and the best thing about all these changes is that they all offer the galaxy watch 4 classic
some sort of protection and it's actually quite easy to switch them all out now it is starting
to look pretty good in my opinion but there's one last thing we need to do and that is to pick
a decent watch face so i'm going to name drop two developers that i keep going back to
that is s4u and below z in my opinion they make some of the best quality watch faces
on the app stores not sponsored by them or anything they're just the ones that i've noticed
and featured in many of my watch face videos that being said if you do want some more inspiration do
check out my watch face videos after this episode i thought a blue watch face would go really nice
with the silver but in the end i actually settled on this one from s4u this is the s4u lux sp
it's one of the newer ones but i actually said it's orange and i thought it looked really nice
really luxury really premium and it had the sort of vibe that i was going for
so all of those accessories actually came to less than 30 pounds or so and i thought they
were a really great cheap way to make your galaxy watchful classic look completely unique but as
i said at the start looks aren't everything so i wanted to make sure my galaxy watch 4 classic was
running as smooth as it can be and make it more personal to me in terms of experience so a few
settings i've changed about continuous heart rate is off this helps save a little bit of battery
sometimes i have it set to intervals and other times i do switch it to manual it depends on what
i'm doing for the day the next setting i changed or rather optimized was the notification settings
if you go to a wearables app on your phone you can select what notifications you want to receive and
the ones you don't for example i've made sure whatsapp is selected here i also checked this
setting turn on for new apps so when i download a new app notifications will automatically be
turned on by default other things i've tweaked i've made sure the vibration intensity is set
to strong so i don't miss anything moving on obviously always on display is active
i like my watch to act more like an actual watch even if it does come at the cost of some battery
life below that though there are a couple more settings like raise wrist wake and touch screen to
wake i have both of these turns on uh there's not really a reason for this to be honest i just think
it's easier and it sort of eliminates any risk of the watch not responding when i do either of those
things last setting i have turned on is show media control so this means when you're watching youtube
spotify or doing whatever on your phone you'll automatically be able to control those things
from your smartwatch personally i think all the other settings on the galaxy watch 4 classic and
the galaxy watch 4 are fine as they are there are some things you can adjust to save on battery life
and you can watch my video on battery life after this one next stop on our customization spree
apps what apps do i use on my galaxy watch for classic to make it a little bit more productive
and personal to me well the first one is actually quite boring and that's just google keep notes if
you're like me and are constantly taking away thinking of things it's a really handy thing
to have when you're on the go i often use the speech to text setting this just helps me get
ideas out of my head really quickly onto my watch where they're nice and safe for when i get home
next one is wear mouse well this essentially does what it says on the tin it turns your watch into a
mouse this is really good for those of you who are feeling a little bit lazy you can use your mouse
on things like phones tablets and even tvs in some cases it's a very clever bit of kit the last
thing i have is a couple of games so i have this abstract shapes puzzle game which just keeps me
unprepared when i'm doing my morning ..... so in five minutes or so in video time we've gone from this
to this i'm not sure how long it's going to stay like this because to be quite honest i'm
feeling inspired and i quite fancy fiddling around with my galaxy watch 4 classic again
and seeing what i can come up with remember to be careful when you're picking out your galaxy watch
