The editors didn't like
Bixis unreliable
Very little internal storage
Tizen has an almost total lack of apps. Watch faces are a little better
But you're still not going to have as many options as Wear OS
I would kill to have Assistant on this watch. Bixby is almost useless
The $330 starting price is steep when smartwatch
The SOS feature is not ideal for seniors
Bixby is still meh
No MST for Samsung Pay
Only NFC
Not very comfortable to wear at night
Expensive
46mm version is chunky
Fitness tracking accuracy not up to par in testing
Always-on watch face kills the battery
Charges too slowly
Masculine design narrows appeal
Third-party apps are generally horrible
The Bixby voice-assistant could be better. Samsung has quashed some bugs but not all. To achieve Samsung's battery life numbers
You have to institute battery-saving measures
Lack of apps on the Galaxy store
Bixby isn't responsive

The 46mm model is very large
Bixby is a spotty voice assistant
Not most comfortable for all fitness
Limited app ecosystem
Still needs a dock to charge
Needs more third party apps
We say The Samsung Galaxy Watch is one of the best designed smartwatches to date with exceptional fitness tracking capabilities

The Samsung Galaxy Watch is a great looking smartwatch that beats the Apple Watch on battery life and its wide variety of custom watch faces...

Abstract: Divorce yourself from the far out sci-fi depictions and crazy nerd dreams of what a smartwatch is supposed to be for just a second, and instead think about what makes sense for a wrist-mounted device in 2018. You'll quickly realise there's a huge gap betw...

Solid fitness and sports tracking features, Slick Tizen OS, 2 day+ battery life
Bixby is lousy, App quality still lacking, Big battery claims seem optimistic
Whether you pick up the big or small Samsung Galaxy Watch, you're getting a smartwatch that makes a much more compelling argument for Android phone owners than a Wear watch does right now, even if it may not necessarily see iPhone users ditch their Apple...

Impressive four-day battery life, Great core smartwatch software, Rotating bezel cycles through UI, Looks like a real wrist watch
Proprietary wireless charger, Bixby proven to be terrible again, No Google Maps, WhatsApp, FB Messenger
The Galaxy Watch is Samsung's most refined smartwatch due to its helpful fitness tracking and four-day battery life – if you opt for the larger 46mm size that we liked and recommend. All of this is packaged inside a sophisticated-looking circular silver-a...
There's no doubt the Samsung Galaxy Watch is a good-looking smartwatch that will perform as well as an Apple Watch in many aspects. But its design is similar to the last two Gear watches, and a rebranding can't hide that.We also don't know how much the 4G...

The Apple Watch Series 3 is a marvellous device that deservedly rules the wearables space. (We'd recommend the GPS model, though, since cellular ups the price and lowers battery life.) It looks superb, has a good range of third-party apps and after a few...

Two sizes for large and small wrists, Battery promised to last several days, Inventive calendar watch face
Only the largest size has a big battery, LTE model is going to cost you extra, Is Bixby good enough vs Google Assistant
The new Samsung Galaxy Watch is pushing smartwatches to look like real watches and last more than a day. It nails the look and feel even if it hasn't changed much from the Gear S3, and comes in two sizes for broader appeal...
Attractive design,Solid stainless steel case,Rotating bezel is brilliant,Tizen OS's user interface is user friendly,Great battery life
Tizen OS lacking in apps,Software looks/feels the same as it has for some time,Notifications load slowly,42mm limited battery
The Samsung Galaxy Watch features a lovely, premium build quality with some great design details, including a rotating bezel on top of the display which really is a delight to use.It's chunky, some may even say bulky, but the Galaxy Watch is a solid devic...
