The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is official with a new operating system, a 40-hour battery life, and plenty of fitness tracking features. Is it better than the Apple Watch? Let’s find out…
If you’re properly into fitness, something like running or cycling, you’re probably already wearing a Garmin watch. These specialist types of smartwatches aimed squarely at runners, cyclists, and cardio-nuts, exist in a slightly different niche to the Apple Watch or the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. They’re more sports-tracking and data collection than being “smart”.
