    How responsive is the Galaxy Watch 4's touch bezel?

    I had the watch 4 LTE. I returned it and got the Watch 4 Classic. The touch bezel on the watch 4 was ok. Sometimes, it was a bit finicky so i didn't use it as much. There was an update that was released that supposedly improved the responsiveness of the watch 4's touch bezel but my watch didn't...

    My Watch 4 is not updating

    Patience, I have no problem with. Its the lack of transparency on Samsung's part and quite frankly, the lack of details in the reporting/reviewing around this device. I tried researching this issue. Nowhere on any tech site or forum that I was able to find, was it reported that the updates were...

    My Watch 4 is not updating

    So if I understand this correctly, a few updates have been released for the Watch 4. My Watch 4 updated as soon as I turned it on for the first time and hasn't done so again since. I have the 46mm Black Watch 4 LTE (NOT the Classic) that was purchased from a T-Mobile location. Currently, the...

    Question for AC Editors about Blood Pressure on Galaxy Watches

    This, I could buy if Apple hadn't had their ECG capabilities approved for their watch at the time of release. Sure, you could speculate that maybe Apple had their device sitting in an FDA office for over a year prior to its release, but I doubt it. It would be nice if Samsung were upfront about...

    Question for AC Editors about Blood Pressure on Galaxy Watches

    So, its been about 2 years now since the release of the Galaxy Watch Active 2. At the time of release, Blood Pressure and ECG capabilities were promised for the Watch. It took a year for ECG to come to the US versions of the watches. Since the release of the galaxy Watch 2 Active, two additional...

    Galaxy watch 4 classic 46 mm

    Putting things back on track here before it runs off the rails completely, I don't think Samsung cares as much about battery life as they want to. They care about what the majority of consumers want. They see the Apple Watch, which gives about a day of battery life, yet it's the best selling...

    change in trade in value?

    Yep. Glad I ordered mine just before the change. Got $185 for my GW3. Now says $135. I guess Sammy didn't expect so many trade-ins.

    Galaxy Watch4 pre-ordered, anyone else?

    I ordered the silver Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with the black hybrid leather band. Trading in my GW3. Used the 50 dollar credit for a wireless duo charger. My only complaint is that the expected arrival date says September 15!

    How good is Samsung Internet?

    I used to use Chrome, but once I realized how good Samsung Internet was, I abandoned Chrome because it uses way more resources on the phone that Samsung Internet.

    Google Messages vs. Samsung Messages: What's your preference and why?

    This is because RCS requires carrier participation since it goes through the carrier switchboards. Sprint and T-Mobile were quick to adopt it I believe. Eventually, Google got tired of waiting for the carriers and implemented RCS on all Android devices provided they use the Google Messages app...

    Google Messages vs. Samsung Messages: What's your preference and why?

    Interesting. I wonder if accessing your messages works with Samsung Messages without having to use DEX.

    Google Messages vs. Samsung Messages: What's your preference and why?

    Over the past few years, across several Note devices, I have bounced back and forth between Samsung Messages and Google Messages. Most recently, I've been using Samsung Messages because I like the One UI design that makes it easier for one-handed and it seems to have RCS functionality. I haven't...
