so you're thinking about buying a galaxy watching 20/20 but is it still worth of
money stay tuned to find out and don't forget to hit that subscribe button ok
so we're gonna kick things off with a quick unboxing as usual so this is the
42 millimeter galaxy watch I went for the smaller one because I have actually
got quite small wrists but thinking about it now a deal wish I had gone for
the bigger one but for some people the smaller one will be absolutely fine and
I do still enjoy it that's why I kept it and then send it back so when you open
the box you'll be greeted with the actual watch with the wrist straps
attached then on the left hand side there you've got the charger and a
little booklet then on the right hand side separately you have the wireless
docking station which you just plug into the charger there and in the middle
there you actually get some spare watch straps I was kind of hoping there would
be some smarter ones or maybe some metal ones but there are actually just the
same rubber wrist straps as the ones the watch comes with but as I'm sure you're
aware you can go out to pretty much anywhere on the internet and find a
spare watch straps you can get some pretty smart looking ones for less than
15 pounds if you were interested in some smarter watch straps I will link for you
down in the description below if you're wondering about color options the 46
millimeter comes in a silver color whilst a 42 millimeter comes in either
midnight black or rose gold okay guys welcome to tech it easy
so before we jump into the features of the watch I'm just rego the
specifications so the galaxy watch comes with the Exynos dual-core 1.15 gigahertz
processor that is the Exynos of 90-110 display white is dependent on which
she picks there are two sizes the 46 millimeter or 42 millimeters at which I
have got hit both have a resolution of 360 by 360 pixels with a Super AMOLED
display Gorilla Glass DX plus operating system were obviously going with the
Tizen operating system this is Samsung's own SmartWatch operating system so this
does not run on Google's where OS which is a common misconception although it
will work with some of Google's features Ram again is dependent on which model
you go for and whether you give the LTE model or the version I've got it LTE
essentially means you can take it out without being connected to the phone it
allow you to make phone calls etc so if you opt for the LTE version you're gonna
get one point five gigabytes of it around and if you go for the normal
version you're gonna get the 768 and megabytes of RAM so quite a big
difference there but personally as I will show you later I don't think you
might actually need the RAM on this one storage wise it has four gigabytes of
internal storage you can store your Spotify songs and stuff on there if you
wish along with voice recordings and even pictures if you want to so comment
tivity wise it has a poster features including NFC Bluetooth Wi-Fi GPS and
then of course LTE other features include of course a
microphone and a speaker so you can make and receive calls just purely I know
what I will do microphone demonstration later and it is also IP 68 water under
surprises you can actually go swimming with this as well and it doesn't even
have an exercise tracker specifically for swimming and it's water resistant up
to 50 meters actually life again is dependent on which sign you go for so if
you go for this forty six millimeter watch you're going to get a 1 June 72
milliamp hour battery and if you go be smaller 42 millimeter version you're
going to get a 2 17 million car battery so quite a
significant difference there I will talk about the battery life later on okay I'm
just gonna quickly jump over to a sound test now so you can get an idea for what
a microphone sounds like okay so this is the test for the Galaxy watch microphone
so I have tried this in a couple of phone calls and I've had really really
good feedback from everyone everyone has said that they can really tell whether I
was talking on my watch or my phone which is really good to hear because I
have the Galaxy Note 10.1 microphone on it so overall I'm really really happy
with the microphone on the watch onto the watch now the set up was actually
relatively easy it did it pretty much automatically now I do have a samsung
phone so that might have made things easier I know on an iPhone things are a
little bit more complicated and you do lose some of the features initial
impressions the watch field amazing is so smooth which was surprising because I
was expecting it to be a little bit slow and stuttering but everything just
worked so smoothly now it has an array of features including a barometer then
of course your fitness tracking now this I love it you can pick different
workouts and it has different tracking modes for each one the watch can detect
when you're doing a certain thing so for example when you go out for a walk it
will automatically detect that you've started walking and it will actually set
a timer from when you actually first set off and it's actually very very accurate
then of course you've got your stress monitor which I'm not sure how accurate
it actually is I have been trying to test it out but I always seem to be in
the green which I have to admit is strange for me but as well as a
measuring feature you can also do some breathing exercises if you are stressed
and then it tracks how stressed you've been over the course of the week same
story with the calories burnt and your steps it tracks everything across the
course of a week so you can compare different days
you can also set targets or how many steps you want to do each day which I
have to admit it does encourage you to get up out of your seat and do a bit
more exercise speaking of getting out your seat it also automatically tells
you when you might need to stand up so say you've been sat at your desk for a
long time it will say get up have a stretch go for a walk and it also
detects when you've done that which definitely helps with your energy levels
for the day and your productivity so watch faces it does come with a nice
array of different styles watch faces I've only downloaded two or three myself
the first one you saw there was one that I downloaded off the App Store but while
I'm showing off now it comes as a default watch face on the Galaxy watch
so the default watch faces you can actually press and hold on them and then
you can customize some of the features each watch face is different some will
let you customize the color of the dials a bit like this one and others the color
of the background another feature that a lot of them have is the ticking noise
now I actually turned this off because I thought it sounded a little bit fake but
if some people want to get as close to a real watch as they possibly can then by
all means turn it on I was concerned about battery life though with it making
the ticking sound constantly now I'm just going to show off some of the
physical features of the watch you can see that on the side you've got the two
buttons and if you hold that one at the top it'll actually bring up the Samsung
pay because of course the watch does have NFC then you've got that really
nice rotating bezel there which always using to switch between apps and
different options okay so lastly a quick note about battery life so this watch
will last you a full day with ease but I find myself wanting to make use of all
the features so the step counter and calorie counter
then the sleep tracker and I struggle to get a full day and a full night in in
one charge I can't really find a convenient time to charge the watch so
ideally I would have liked it have lasted a couple of days and then I can
charge it I do find myself having to charge it every day when I'm using it
for sleep tracking as well which then brings me on to my small gripe with the
watch and that is the charge time I kind of hoped that it would have some sort of
fast charging make up for the battery life this is of course down to the way I
want to use the watch if you're not going to use it for sleep tracking or
not even wear it all day then it almost likely be perfect for you so should you
buy a galaxy watch in 2020 take into account all the features I'd definitely
say it's still one of the best smart watches out there because if you really
think about it what else do you need on a SmartWatch it's got a little fitness
tracking it's got NFC heart rate monitor microphone speakers there really isn't
much more that you could put into a SmartWatch without it sort of taken over
your phone so for me is definitely a future-proofed design not once has it
felt slow or clunky 'he's always to stay the same and as I said connectivity was
so easy it was so easy to set up I think Samsung have done a really really good
job on this if you were worried about it getting slow or clunky then just go for
the LTE version which has a little bit more round and again that's just gonna
future-proof it even more if you compare it to something like the new Skagen
Boxster 3 you watch let's just come out that's when you've got one gigabyte of
RAM and that's just come out recently if you are wondering about price the 42
millimeter which I showed up here is currently 279 pound and then the larger
version is 299 pounds they do actually do a golf special edition which is
currently going for 359 pounds if you're new to smartwatches and you're a little
bit worried about the price good option for you right now would be the Skagen
and falster to watch since the 3 has just come out they've actually reduced
them right down to 80 on that website and that is a good
all-rounder it has your heart rate monitor NFC or all that all that sort of
stuff so if you want to try out a SmartWatch and save it to you then that
would be a really good bet at the moment but I can't imagine that offer will be
on for long let me know what you thought of the watch in the comment section and
whether or not you think it is outdated because this watch is about two years
old now at least thanks so much for watching and I'll see you all in the
next one
