The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has all the qualities of a high-end smartwatch, but it falls short in a few key areas. It has a rotating bezel that makes navigation easy, and it has a lot of fitness and software features. However, it’s hard to control when you’re working out, and the battery life is terrible. These problems might be acceptable in a cheap wearable, but they’re hard to accept in a high-end one.
Both the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Watch 4 Classic are made in very different ways. The Watch 4 Classic looks more like a traditional watch, while the Watch 4 will appeal to people who are active and want a small device to track their fitness. The AMOLED screen on the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic is 1.4 inches and sits just below the rotating bezel.
Gorilla Glass DX will keep the screen from getting scratched, so you won’t have to worry about that. On the right, there are two buttons. The red one on top is the home button, and the other is the back button. On the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, you can call up Bixby by holding down the home button for a long time. Samsung has given the Watch 4 Classic new hardware. It runs on the 1.18GHz Exynos W920 dual-core processor that the company made.
It also has 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space, of which the user can use about 7GB. The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic works with Bluetooth 5, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, and four satellite navigation systems. This watch from Samsung also has an IP68 rating, and Samsung says it can handle water up to 5ATM.
In terms of control, Samsung has gone above and beyond the expected features, like automatic and manual brightness control, different screen wake-up settings, and screen timeout options. It has also added extras, like improved touch sensitivity for use with gloves and a lot of accessibility features, like colour and magnification controls. Samsung’s “BioActive Sensor” is really an umbrella term for the Watch 4 Series’s many sensors, which track things like heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
Blood oxygen monitoring and snore detection during sleep tracking didn’t have much of an effect on the watch’s 247mAh battery (the 46mm model has a 361mAh battery). The watch suggested switching to power saving mode at 15% charge and watch-only mode at 5% charge, reaching 100% in exactly 1 hour 25 on a regular basis, reaching about a day’s worth of charge after 30 minutes.
