If you are search of a smart watch, one of the options that you can consider is the Samsung Galaxy Watch. It has an attractive design, an amazing user interface, and four-day battery life.

This watch comes in competition with the Apple Watch 5, and it may prove to be better than that in certain perspectives. At first glance, this watch looks exactly like a high-end wristwatch with a stainless steel case and a stylish bezel. And the bezel has its functions as when you rotate it, it shows a change in the in-screen menus. This way of navigating the smart watch is amazing because a screen of such a watch is too small for the fingertips.

Samsung Galaxy Watch release date and price

This watch was released in August 2018 in the US and in September 2018 in the UK. Australia had to wait a bit longer for the launch of this watch.

The launch price of this watch is $329 for the 42mm version, and $349 for the larger 46mm variant. The LTE version of this watch was available at a price of $379 for the 42mm model, and $399 for the 46mm version.

Size and design

As mentioned in the price discussion, this watch is available in two sizes, i.e. 42mm and 46mm. The color variants for 42mm version are Midnight Black and Rose Gold, while the larger 46mm version comes in a two-toned silver-and-black color scheme.

If you compare this watch with the Apple Watch, you are going to find it more of a fashion statement. The timepiece appearing in the screen is bigger, circular, and is meant to look more like a conventional high end watch.

The screen of this watch is based on 1.3-inch AMOLED (1.2-inch for the 42mm watch). It is brighter than color rich. The brightness level can be enhanced enough to make the screen contents visible when you are out there in the sun. The resolution of the watch’s screen is 320 x 320 pixels. The less number of pixels is one of the reasons that the battery of this watch lasts four days.

Fitness

The major emphasis in Samsung Galaxy Watch is put on fitness. All you have to do is to set a schedule of the exercises that you want to do and it will help in tracking those exercises. There are six basic exercises for which you can configure you watch once, and it will help you stick to your exercises and track them on daily basis.

Software and apps

The most appealing feature of this watch is its interface. There are 60,000 watch faces available in this watch. Talking about apps, it doesn’t have Google Maps, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Lyft, and several other similar apps. In general, ability to install and run third party apps is not the strongest suit of this Smart Watch.
