Where to buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and 4 Classic
Foldables were the star of the show at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event on 11 August, but we shouldn’t forget about the wearables. The Korean giant revealed the regularGalaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic, both of which bring some big changes to the table.
Chief among these is a return toWear OS software, produced in collaboration with Google. The tweaked version Samsung is using is officially known as ‘One UI Watch’, but the Watch 4 and 4 Classic are the first smartwatches to run the revamped operating system.
Samsung’s newExynos W920processor also makes its debut here, becoming the first 5nm chip designed for wearables. The wide-ranging health and fitness features include a new body composition metric, which includes indicators of bone density and water retention.
However, it’s the Watch 4 Classic that can be seen as a direct successor to last year’s device, retaining the physical turning crown we saw on theWatch 3. The regular Watch 4 replaces this with haptic feedback, allowing for significantly slimmer bezels. There’s also some variation in sizing, as we explain below.
