monkeys seals turtles and even bears are all very important features
that samsung have added to the galaxy watch for and the watchful classic
but that can't be it can it today we have of course finally got our hands on the brand's new
galaxy watch 4 classic 46 millimeter lte version so i'm gonna do a super quick unboxing see what
we get with our watch briefly compare it to the watch three and the first generation galaxy watch
and go through some of my initial impressions after three or four days of usage i will also
address the watch base issue later on in the video i have talked to some developers so do look out
for that for now though sit back and relax whilst we explore the brand new galaxy watch 4 classic
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy so i finally got my hands on the galaxy watch 4 classic
so let's not waste any more time let's get straight into the unboxing but do remember
if you do find yourself enjoying the video at any point please do leave a cheeky like
and subscribe to the channel for more content so the galaxy watch 4 classic very similar box to
the galaxy watch 3 but to be honest if we compare it to the apple watch the unboxing really isn't
all that special which is a shame but it is the product that matters after all so there it is
the galaxy watch 4 classic rubber wrist strap with it this year which doesn't make much sense to me
as i thought the classic was meant to be more of a luxury traditional watch so not sure why
they didn't include a leather strap at the very least like they did with the watch 3. i will say
though that this strap feels a lot more durable and sturdy compared to the first generation
galaxy watch which also came with a rubber wrist strap it's really nice and thick and feels really
comfortable on the wrist so you can't really complain about it inside the box other than the
watch for there really wasn't much else you get a few manuals and a mini wireless charging puck
but no wall adapter you can of course use a third-party wireless charger if you want to
but do double check compatibility now the unboxing is out the way let's really hone in on the galaxy
watch 4 classic design the display does appear ever so slightly larger than the galaxy watch 3
which i can appreciate they've kept it relatively slim which i like if we compare it to something
like the ticwatch e3 that was a bit of a chunky monkey so i have to commend samsung for getting it
so small considering its large feature set over on the side there we have two physical buttons which
were a talking point for a lot of us when the rumors of the galaxy watch 4 were floating around
a lot of us preferred the buttons on the watch 3 but do let me know in the comment section your
thoughts on the new style of buttons me personally i don't actually mind them too much i was bothered
by them at first but now i've seen them up close they're smooth they're metal they feel really
good quality and they actually serve a really important purpose which is for samsung's new
bia feature and i will talk a little bit more about that feature later on in the video next
point of call we also have the return of the rotating bezel which also stirred up a little bit
of conversation when the rumors were flying around thankfully it is back on the watchful classic not
much change from the galaxy watch 3 but it does feel slightly stiffer and it is more textured on
the edges which do allow for some slightly better grip the body itself is brushed aluminium feels
really hardy really good quality stuff and dare i say it feels better than the galaxy watch 3.
so those are the design changes covered let's talk briefly about wear os 3.0 on the galaxy watch 4. i
will go into more detail on this in my full review but at a glance it doesn't feel like wear os
and i think that is actually a good thing it still feels tizen because of the one ui running over the
top and to be honest it hasn't changed drastically from the last version we see smoother animations
a revised ui and graphics but still very much a galaxy watch at heart what i did really like was
the way they positioned the apps in the tray i thought that looked and felt a lot better it's
a bit more similar to what we see on say the apple watch just a bit bigger which in my mind
is actually more practical the improved graphics on the sleep ecg and heart rate tiles look a lot
better but but most importantly they're still recognizable so if you have come from a galaxy
watch or a galaxy watch 3 you're not going to have to spend too much time finding your way around
this watch now for the elephant in the room the big big big issue i have with the galaxy watch 4
is the lack of the galaxy store now i wrongly assumed in previous videos that since they were
bringing one ui to the watchful we might see the galaxy store return and it hasn't this is terrible
news for the watch face ecosystem i've seen some youtubers say things like oh wear os is so much
better for watch faces so much more choice this in my opinion at least is not true at all installing
wear os watch faces appears a bit messy you often find you download a free watch face and turns
out you have to pay for it inside the dedicated watch face app then i don't know if it's just me
but when you search for a watch face there's not really much choice at all so what i'm saying is i
missed the galaxy store things were a lot simpler then and i do really hope they consider bringing
back the galaxy store for the galaxy watch 4 but i'm not even sure if that is possible now if you
are wondering where to get watch faces for the galaxy watch 4 classic or the galaxy watch 4
i will be bringing out plenty of watch face videos in the future but for now there are two watch face
videos on my channel that do apply to the galaxy watch 4. we've got the top 12 face of watch faces
so you can download the face app to galaxy watch 4 and see if any of those tickle your fancy and
the second one is the top 10 wear os watch faces all of those watch faces should be compatible with
your galaxy watch 4. i'll leave links down below if you want to head over to those after the video
i did actually speak to a watch face developer and he mentioned that the approval process for designs
on the play store is a lot more complicated and it's not so easy just to simply move a watch face
to wear os there's a few changes that need to be made first so all i'd say is be patient we will
see some of our favorite watch faces from the galaxy store on the play store very very soon
now the galaxy watch for classic specs and features basically everything the galaxy watch
three had and a bit more that being said though this time around samsung have blessed us with
a brand new processor which in my opinion was long overdue the watch 4 classic has the xenos
w920 which promises more efficient power usage and faster processing speeds samsung has also
given us 1.5 gigabytes of ram and 16 gigabytes of internal storage which isn't half bad for a smart
watch these specs are really important too because they all affect the battery life and how efficient
that battery actually is the watch 4 classic is said to give you 40 hours of battery life
so just short of two days and from testing i can fully believe that and i'd even be inclined to
say that you can get it to stretch to two days of battery life i'm actually seeing a big difference
in battery life consumption from the watch 3 but i will go into that more in detail in my full review
lastly we do of course have all the usual workout modes sleep tracking heart rate spo2 and more but
this time we have the addition of body composition analysis not going to go too much into that either
but what it does is give you an idea of body fat percentage water muscle mass and a few other bits
very very impressive technology for a smart watch so i think we've had a really good quick
look at the galaxy watch 4 classic there i'm sure you've all seen other videos too by now
so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna stop here and return again in a week or two with a full
in-depth review for you going through all the galaxy watch four features in the meantime though
i will be bringing out some more galaxy watch for content so make sure you subscribed and got the
notifications bell turned on just before we go if you did enjoy the video please consider leaving a
like and subscribing to the channel if you're new around here for now though i've been alex this has
been take it easy thank you so much for watching and hopefully i'll see you in the next one
