2. Design Differences between the Two Products
Galaxy Watch 4 with its distinctive physical rotating bezel
Both Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic have been redesigned with seamless frame and strap integration, providing a more cohesive feel. The buttons are also elongated in shape, departing from the previous round button with a flat button setup on previous models.
Galaxy Watch 4 Classic features a rotating bezel frame, serving as a precise app navigation tool for you. Since the original Samsung Galaxy Watch was introduced, the bezel frame has become an iconic design element of the device. This smartwatch version creates a much stronger focal point compared to many other popular wearable devices on the market.
Galaxy Watch 4 with a sporty designIf you prefer simplicity, then Galaxy Watch 4 is the suitable choice. Galaxy Watch 4 follows a design language similar to the Galaxy Active series and lacks the physical rotating bezel.
With a silicone strap, Galaxy Watch 4 achieves a sportier look and provides comfortable wear on the wrist during activities. Additionally, its soft design ensures a snug fit on your wrist compared to Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
3. Features on Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic
Both smartwatches offer similar features. However, there are some new aspects to the Galaxy Watch 4 Series that you should be aware of.
Tizen has been integrated into Google's Wear OS, now known as Wear OS 3. Samsung's exclusive programs like Samsung Pay and Samsung Health remain prioritized, and you can still download additional Google apps.
With the addition of Wear OS, the One UI Watch interface on the Galaxy Watch 4 operates more efficiently compared to its predecessors. Settings from your Samsung smartphone will seamlessly transfer to the smartwatch and vice versa.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Series also boasts a diverse collection of watch face designs, allowing you to personalize according to your preferences.
For health and fitness features, Samsung's new health sensor for the Galaxy Watch 4 combines heart rate monitoring (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG) reading, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
Samsung has also enhanced sleep tracking metrics for their latest smartwatches. Blood oxygen levels are measured every minute overnight on the Galaxy Watch 4, compared to every 30 minutes on the Galaxy Watch 3.
Finally, let's talk about battery life. Samsung estimates both smartwatches will last up to 40 hours on a single charge. However, with GPS, activity tracking, and the always-on display activated, it may be less.
Conclusion
The standard Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is the versatile Android smartwatch that most shoppers should consider. It may not be as eye-catching as the Classic model, but it's suitable for the gym and stylish enough for daily wear.
However, if you prefer a more innovative design and love the physical rotating bezel, then the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic will be your choice.
