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

[Funkpod]

Hey, I am wondering if anyone knows if the Galaxy Watch 4's (not the classic) touch bezel is responsive or not.

I have not heard anyone complaining about it, except the one reviewer during the Android Central podcast. Just said that it stutters some.

I love the look of the 4, but am willing to get the Classic cuz of the physical bezel.

Don't know if anyone has input on it.

Thanks for any info!

Bump.

Maybe I posted this too early, before some got the watch.

Anyone have opinions and experiences on the touch bezel now?

Thanks for any input!

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 get it before I returned it because it was an LTE model (apparently, the LTE watches have to wait several weeks after the wifi/Bluetooth only watches to receive updates). So, I didn't get the chance to test the watch 4's touch bezel responsiveness with the new update. However, there were reports that people saw a noticeable improvement.

Yeah, I love the look of the Watch 4, but the Classic also looks good but I think I'll enjoy that bezel. Plus, I heard that it doesn't work well in you're a runner, with a wet watch or in rain or sweat lol.

Have the GW4 LTE connected through VZ. Great device, looking for more apps and am surprised with the few seen since Tyzen had none!
Briefly, had the GW2 and wasn't all that impressed with the rotating bezel, then upgraded to the AW2, and liked the digital bezel.
Upgraded to this iteration and the digital bezel is crazy responsive sweaty, dirty, or otherwise. It's a bit too fast for my tastes though that's operator error probably! Finally, I like the non-classic look better and less mechanisms to wear out.
Good Luck no matter the style you choose, as I'm more into the health monitoring aspects and reminders etc; it's about the software for me.
Peace

Hey! I just saw this response, sorry for the delay!

I'm into the health tracking, too, I'm a big runner, love it. How's the GPS? good enough?

No worries....

awesome. Question, this happens to me a lot with my Fossil Gen 5- I was running this morning, and my pace showed like, 8:00 a mile, then jumped to 10:20, then down to 7:40, etc, but my pace didn't change.

Does that happen on the Watch 4? Or is it reflective of your current pace?

To be honest I'm not that physio though the watch does show results when walking and seems accurate with time elapsed distance pace etc.
Good luck!
