Last updated: August 23rd, 2018 at 22:21 UTC+01:00
The Galaxy Watch is finally here as the true successor to the Gear S3 post-obit Samsung's detour into a fettle-focused smartwatch last yr with the Gear Sport. With the Galaxy Lookout, Samsung has realized that 1 size doesn't fit all, so the watch comes in both 42 mm and 46 mm varieties. But the sizes are not the only affair the Galaxy Watch has going for it, as nosotros discovered in our hands-on feel.

With the Galaxy Watch, Samsung is using the same button design as the Gear S3 Borderland for all variants. The large 46 mm version is like a mix between the Gear S3 archetype and Gear S3 frontier and is likewise unique because of its two-colour approach. The color of the bezel ring and the power and volume buttons is different from the residual of the body, and we have to say information technology looks quite refreshing. For the 42 mm variants, the Rose Gold version looks quite premium and classy thanks to the matte finish. At the back, the sensors are placed circularly and the sensor assembly sticks out from the watch for better contact with the skin (like to the Gear Sport).
When it comes to fettle tracking, the Milky way Spotter isn't much different from the Gear Sport. You get features like stress direction, sleep monitoring, and automated detection and tracking of movements such as walking, running, and rowing. Bixby, of class, is the key new software feature. We were unable to properly test Bixby, merely you tin can wake the lookout man upwardly with the 'Howdy Bixby' command just like you can on the company's phones and inquire it things such as the current weather weather condition.
There are also some new power saving modes, which will come in handy on the 42 mm versions because of its rather small battery (270 mAh; the 46 mm version has a 472 mAh battery), especially with LTE connectivity in the mix. But the about nifty new addition to the list of functionality is the choice to enable a ticking audio for when the time is being shown on the display. It's a neat little touch to make the Galaxy Watch feel more like a traditional watch and a natural extension of the 'Scout only' mode that was introduced on existing Gear smartwatches.
For Gear S3 or Gear Sport owners, the Galaxy Watch may not look like a large upgrade. But Gear S2 owners would exercise well to take a wait if they're in the mood for an upgrade, especially since Samsung is offering a choice between 2 sizes and not alienating those with small hands. Our complete review will arrive in the coming weeks to tell you just how well everything works together on the Milky way Watch, so be certain to stay tuned to SamMobile.
