1
00:00:00,648 --> 00:00:04,490
- (sighs) Smartwatches. Apple's the only one that makes a good one.

2
00:00:04,490 --> 00:00:06,053
Wear OS? Pfft, pfft.

3
00:00:07,630 --> 00:00:11,633
Not anymore. Apparently.

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,950
I guess we're gonna find out. What kind of watch is this?

5
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:20,430
This is the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic.

6
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:24,520
It's a watch from Samsung with an OS made by Google.

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,470
The first Wear OS watch that's not useless to come out in however many years.

8
00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:33,130
It's not even made by Google, but hopefully it's good.

9
00:00:33,130 --> 00:00:38,120
I guess we're gonna find out. I am an avid Samsung watch guy, but this is not Wear OS,

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,760
this is using Tizen. This is the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2,

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,830
which is a whole other topic of discussion. The whole naming scheme, it's quite a mess.

12
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:50,480
But I currently do use a Samsung watch,

13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,323
so this is interesting to me. So I guess let's unbox it.

14
00:00:55,270 --> 00:01:00,880
There's not a lot to unbox, I don't think. I imagine I'm gonna open this and I might see a watch.

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,670
Whoa, look, a watch! (laughs) - No way! - Oh, there's some other stuff, hold on.

16
00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:13,790
I think it's literally just a couple pieces of paper. So this device in particular is the Galaxy Watch4 Classic.

17
00:01:13,790 --> 00:01:18,790
We also have over here, the Galaxy Watch4. (laughs)

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,750
Interestingly enough, they have changed up the naming schemes here.

19
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:27,200
On the last generation, the Active watch was the one that got a sort of suffix.

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,403
This one is the Active2, part of the Watch3 series.

21
00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:40,330
This generation they've changed that, sort of reversed it. The Active looking and feeling version is the Watch4,

22
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,870
and then the Classic one with the physical dial

23
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:49,840
is now the one that has a suffix, and this is called the Galaxy Watch4 Classic.

24
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,630
Oh man, this black background is not ideal. I think what we're gonna do,

25
00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:57,210
as much as you should definitely check out lttstore.com and get yourself a mouse pad...

26
00:01:57,210 --> 00:02:00,790
Oh, oh, it's so much better, Andy. (laughs)

27
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:03,910
You can actually see what we're looking at. Oh geez.

28
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:07,900
So in the box, usually you would get a little cable like this.

29
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:13,510
It's just your standard charging cable, plugs into... Interestingly enough, it's still Type A USB.

30
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:17,380
Samsung hasn't jumped off that bridge yet, I guess.

31
00:02:17,380 --> 00:02:20,393
So it's just a little magnetic guy, clips on like that.

32
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:25,910
It feels pretty similar to the previous generation in terms of magnet-ness.

33
00:02:25,910 --> 00:02:31,960
So in order, we got the previous generation Active2, have the Galaxy Watch4, and the Galaxy Watch4 Classic.

34
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,620
In terms of the outside aesthetic, we've definitely seen a few updates.

35
00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:39,570
They have sort of smoothed out the side over the previous generation.

36
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:45,080
They've also switched from a circular button to a square on both of them for this side.

37
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,540
And the profile of the watch, while it looks to be pretty well the same depth overall,

38
00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:54,230
maybe a tiny bit smaller, they have smoothed out the back.

39
00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:57,260
You see that, Andy? On the old watch, there was sort of a bump.

40
00:02:57,260 --> 00:03:00,690
On this one, it's nice and smooth. After wearing it for a couple of days,

41
00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:04,530
I can definitely say that this watch feels more natural.

42
00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:09,500
It's smoother. And as somebody that doesn't personally like wearing a watch, I've never really liked it.

43
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:14,220
I was able to get used to this, but I almost don't even notice this watch on me.

44
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:18,170
There is a lot of versions here, so I'm gonna have to read this off of the paper.

45
00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:22,020
For the Watch4 there's two versions, a 40 mil or a 44 mil,

46
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:27,940
depending on how big your wrists, I think we have the 44. And then for the Watch4 Classic, there's a 42 and 46 mil.

47
00:03:27,940 --> 00:03:32,510
This is the 46. This is as by the name suggests,

48
00:03:32,510 --> 00:03:35,393
a classier watch.

49
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,350
That was a bad joke. All right. As for the rest of the outside,

50
00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:45,390
they do have a couple new colors, which is cool. The bands feel very similar to before.

51
00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:49,950
It's kind of like a fancy plastic. I think you can definitely get some other bands. Probably.

52
00:03:49,950 --> 00:03:54,140
Yeah, looks like the exact same mechanism. So there's just a little pin,

53
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:58,220
you pull that down and pop it in place like that.

54
00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:02,173
Oh wait, oh wow. This one slides entirely. Oh, that is different, actually.

55
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:07,400
What the hell? All right, I lied. It's a little different.

56
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,730
Let's pop this guy on. Seems like the band sizing is the same.

57
00:04:12,730 --> 00:04:16,000
Man, this is an exceptionally comfortable watch.

58
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,320
I am a huge fan of this new generation. Will definitely probably be buying one.

59
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,573
But let's try the Classic. I've never really been a fan of these watches 'cause they are a little kludgier.

60
00:04:28,105 --> 00:04:31,310
- What the... - What? - What? - Kludgier?

61
00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:34,585
- Yeah, you don't think it's kludgy? That's bigger. - [Jono] Oh no, I'm just like, is that a real word?

62
00:04:34,585 --> 00:04:35,835
- Kludgy? Yeah.

63
00:04:39,164 --> 00:04:41,081
Oh, this feels so nice.

64
00:04:42,552 --> 00:04:46,710
- [Jono] ASMR. - All right, I'm gonna start off with the Classic.

65
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:50,610
Let's try this out. It's not turning on, so I guess I'll have to tell you

66
00:04:50,610 --> 00:04:54,540
a word from our sponsor, Manscaped. Manscaped's Performance Package 4.0

67
00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:58,180
is designed to make grooming below the waist easier with their Lawn Mower 4.0,

68
00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:01,900
above the waist easier with their Weed Wacker nose trimmer, plus you get a bunch of other cool goodies,

69
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:06,850
like their Crop Preserver and Crop Reviver sprays to keep things fresh down below.

So get 20% off plus free international shipping at the link down below.

71
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,010
Oh yeah, cool. Samsung. So it doesn't say Google, which is interesting.

72
00:05:16,010 --> 00:05:19,673
It did not make my notification... Oh, wow, look at that. You see that?

73
00:05:21,367 --> 00:05:25,250
"A new device has been detected." I didn't even open the Wearable app yet, so that's cool.

74
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:29,257
Editor, why don't you put a time counter to see how long this takes to set this up?

75
00:05:29,257 --> 00:05:33,430
"For your review, sending of diagnostic data." Yes, take all my anonymized data

76
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:37,579
that's really not that anonymous. (bright music)

77
00:05:42,460 --> 00:05:46,210
Cool. "Getting Google account info. This might take a few minutes."

78
00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:48,840
Well, it's definitely Google.

79
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,730
I just wanna spin this dial more. (groans) Oh my God.

80
00:06:00,730 --> 00:06:04,680
Okay, I think we're connected. We got 44% battery. Take a tour. Start.

81
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,903
Whoa. Swipe down, swipe up.

82
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:13,793
Hey, did you know if you swipe one way, the screen will move that way?

83
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,850
Who would have thought? So right off the bat,

84
00:06:18,850 --> 00:06:21,683
I'm gonna say the responsiveness is definitely better.

85
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,660
You almost don't even notice when it hitches a little bit.

86
00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:29,030
So we got some new stuff here. There's a body composition,

87
00:06:29,030 --> 00:06:34,380
I think it's called a BIA sensor, which can measure your body fat index or whatever,

88
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:39,350
body mass index. They got some supposedly new sleep stuff.

89
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:43,290
Got your calendar there, an ECG which we can't use in Canada

90
00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:46,767
'cause it's not approved by Health Canada. If I go, "Learn more," it's gonna say,

91
00:06:46,767 --> 00:06:50,723
"You can't do this in your region." Heart rate. Let's measure our heart rate.

92
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,490
What are the odds this one works?

93
00:06:55,550 --> 00:07:00,310
Oh, it's working. Nice, K, cool. My resting heart rate is 79 right now.

94
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:03,870
A little bit higher than resting average. Probably 'cause I'm on camera.

95
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,570
Oh, we can measure my stress. How does that work?

96
00:07:09,122 --> 00:07:13,450
- [Jono] It knows your heart rate. - [Andy] Are you stressed? - Yeah, but it doesn't have any historical data.

97
00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:17,917
- [Jono] Your car's being towed. - No! My car's not even here.

98
00:07:17,917 --> 00:07:20,910
"Breathe." Wait, so I guess I'm not stressed?

99
00:07:22,167 --> 00:07:26,420
"Breathe." Six cycles. Nope, not doing that. (laughs)

100
00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:30,070
Oh, Linus will love this. The badminton tracker actually works on the watch now.

101
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:34,070
Previously, I could only ever find it on my phone and it wouldn't sync to the watch.

102
00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:37,700
But now, badminton right there. What else we got here? We've got apps.

103
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:40,820
Whoa, this interface is definitely better than the Apple Watch.

104
00:07:40,820 --> 00:07:45,070
I can't stand the, like, globe.

105
00:07:45,070 --> 00:07:48,380
Can we just show that? How do I even open it on this? There we go.

106
00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:52,820
I have always hated this. Apple, this is not...

107
00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:56,440
I mean, it's not bad, but it's... Okay, it is bad.

108
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,180
This is not intuitive until you remember the location of all, like, 150 icons here.

109
00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:07,300
- [Andy] That's why I will never use that. - But this, it's one axis of play.

110
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,060
I only have one axis I can mess around with.

111
00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:16,490
It's almost kind of like pages on your smartphone. Oh, here. I'll show you guys what the ring looks like.

112
00:08:18,730 --> 00:08:23,900
You see, if we twist here, it goes to the right. It's just a way to navigate your watch, basically.

113
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:26,093
Go to the bottom. Look at that.

114
00:08:27,650 --> 00:08:31,670
- [Jono] Andy has like the biggest tan line I've ever seen. - A watch tan line?

115
00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:36,023
Wow, can you show that on camera? Holy crap. Oh my God, that's horrible.

116
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:40,450
- Hey, I have an Apple Watch. - Ugh! Wait, turn your ARM.

117
00:08:40,450 --> 00:08:43,873
Oh! - Don't tell my wife. - That's a bad watch tan.

118
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,243
Oh, it's doing... Oh, Bixby. No!

119
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:52,030
That's not what I wanted. Can you use Google Assistant on this?

120
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:55,650
I really hope you can use Google Assistant on this. "Samsung has said that the AI assistant

121
00:08:55,650 --> 00:09:00,100
will arrive at a later date, but did not specify when." Okay, cool, so there is hope for this

122
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:05,153
running not a (beep) virtual assistant, but we can at least use Bixby.

123
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:09,053
Hey, Bixby. Why do you suck so bad?

124
00:09:12,476 --> 00:09:16,328
- [Bixby] Hmm, I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm always getting better!

125
00:09:16,328 --> 00:09:20,020
(tragic music) (man laughing)

126
00:09:20,020 --> 00:09:23,653
- No, you're not. The only thing worse than Bixby is Siri.

127
00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:30,530
You know, for a really small interface, this Google Play Store on Wear OS is,

128
00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:34,690
it's pretty functional. Are these games? Oh my God.

129
00:09:34,690 --> 00:09:37,740
I can play 2048. Why?

130
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:41,770
What, like, can you play COD Mobile on a watch? (laughs)

131
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:44,623
Hey, look. Look at my little catto. He's so cute.

132
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,210
Oh. Oh, that's cool. If I have my phone playing audio,

133
00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:51,710
like say if I had this plugged into some speakers,

134
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,683
I can use this to adjust the volume. That's cool.

135
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,551
Oh! (bright music)

136
00:10:00,551 --> 00:10:03,213
It's got a little dial up number thing.

137
00:10:05,050 --> 00:10:08,562
Okay, it's there. Jono Tan, there we go. We're calling. Hi.

138
00:10:08,562 --> 00:10:12,480
- [Jono] Hello, hey. - [Jake] Can you hear me? - [Jono] Yeah, I can hear you.

139
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,540
- It's kind of quiet, honestly. Hey, I'm talking about stuff and things.

140
00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:18,623
How do I sound? I sound good? - [Jono] Yeah, it sounds fine.

141
00:10:18,623 --> 00:10:22,630
It's not like as good as a phone. But how about me? I'll just, I'll count.

142
00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:26,100
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

143
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,213
7, 8, 9. - It sounds not bad.

144
00:10:30,210 --> 00:10:35,080
Oh, there we go. Oh, there. I turned the volume up. Okay, let me just try switching it to my phone

145
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,093
really quick before you hang up. Switch to phone.

146
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:43,290
Hi. - [Jono] Hey. - That was really seamless. Let's try switching back.

147
00:10:43,290 --> 00:10:47,820
Hello. - [Jono] Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the same.

148
00:10:47,820 --> 00:10:51,990
- Wow, all right. I hung up on him, I didn't even say bye.

149
00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:57,420
I'm just a bad guy. So clearly this watch can do a lot of things.

150
00:10:57,420 --> 00:11:01,730
We can make phone calls, we can control the music on our phone.

151
00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:05,410
It seems to serve a lot of purposes. For me, my watch is mostly there

152
00:11:05,410 --> 00:11:09,300
just as a way to check notifications without having to take my phone out of my pocket.

153
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,800
I even sort of like filter them just so I only get priority notifications on the watch,

154
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,020
which is nice. I definitely wanna change this watch face because it is so ugly.

155
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:21,950
Oh, they're all ugly. I don't know. You know what? I'm gonna be a bear.

156
00:11:21,950 --> 00:11:26,480
I'm a bear now. Oh, look. Oh, he's got a friend.

157
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,410
That's cute. Can I customize him? Who is this bear?

158
00:11:31,410 --> 00:11:33,133
We're watching a movie.

159
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,983
You see that? Bear and dude are watching a movie.

160
00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:45,440
Ooh, here's a thing to note. This watch, a lot better

161
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,380
at the raising your ARM awareness if you're not using always on display.

162
00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:53,050
I have a lot of problems with my Galaxy Watch Active2

163
00:11:53,050 --> 00:11:56,470
with not registering. It seems like they have tuned this watch

164
00:11:56,470 --> 00:12:01,413
to be a lot more aggro about it. But if you even just barely lift your ARM up,

165
00:12:02,731 --> 00:12:04,010
like if I just go...

166
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:09,880
Let me put it on my ARM, we've got to get a side-by-side here. All right, we got both watches.

167
00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:15,903
Oh. Oh, there we go.

168
00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:22,760
Got one without it that time. In terms of daily driving them, with this specific watch,

169
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,260
I don't think there was a single instance of me being like, "Come on, activate!"

170
00:12:27,260 --> 00:12:30,920
Whereas I get that daily with my previous gen Active2.

171
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,553
The new versions are using an OLED screen like the previous generation. But this time around,

172
00:12:34,553 --> 00:12:38,320
they have Corning Gorilla Glass DX+, which is the same sort of glass

173
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,490
that they use on a lot of their camera lenses. So that's interesting.

174
00:12:41,490 --> 00:12:47,000
You got a little bit higher display resolution. So it's 450 on the large and 396 by 396

175
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,670
on the smaller version. They also have more storage. You're going from 4 gigabytes on the Active2

176
00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:56,040
to 16 on these newer models. They have the same amount of RAM, I think.

177
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,400
All the new ones are 1 1/2 gigs of RAM. And then the battery is also technically a little bit bigger

178
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,520
than the Active2. This is 340 and the new ones are 361,

179
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,110
at least for the larger size, and 247 on the smaller size.

180
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:13,293
So overall, I'm pretty impressed. The look and feel of these new devices,

181
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:20,520
I'm gonna say that the previous device was pretty good, but they have definitely improved on the comfort factor,

182
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,890
they've definitely improved on the looks factor. It seems like they've improved on the usability factor,

183
00:13:24,890 --> 00:13:28,840
which is impressive given that they've completely switched to a new operating system.

184
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,510
I'm excited to see improvements in the space, and I think I'm gonna pick one of these up.

185
00:13:33,510 --> 00:13:37,430
If you think this watch is just as cool as I do, because, mm, pretty cool,

186
00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:40,700
you can look at the link in the description where you can actually buy one. And then on top of that,

187
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:44,410
you should get subscribed while you're down there, like the video, and why not check out

188
00:13:44,410 --> 00:13:49,410
another one of our ShortCircuit unboxings and overviews, like on the Linus did on the TicWatch.

189
00:13:49,410 --> 00:13:53,050
That was a pretty cool watch. Goodbye.

190
00:13:53,050 --> 00:13:55,633
