Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

Samsung ventured into new territory and pulled Google out of the puddle. This has resulted in the most feature-rich watch with the latest version of Wear OS, which will keep all users of more powerful Androids happy. The Galaxy Watch4 integrates nicely with the Google ecosystem and offers comprehensive measurement features (it now detects body fat) or Google Pay payments, both of which Samsung users have been asking for some time. It’s just that they weren’t satisfied with Tizen for a long time…
While Samsung has switched to a new platform, it’s not something out of the ordinary as far as looks are concerned. The familiar One UI setup is on the watch, and connectivity is limited to Android only, with Samsung’s communication working the best. There are two variants of a watch with a high-end display for you to choose from. While the Classic benefits from a massive rotating bezel, the Watch4 comes with a minimalist case and a sportier look.
