WEBVTT

00:00:00.648 --> 00:00:04.490
- (sighs) Smartwatches. Apple's the only one that makes a good one.

00:00:04.490 --> 00:00:06.053
Wear OS? Pfft, pfft.

00:00:07.630 --> 00:00:11.633
Not anymore. Apparently.

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.950
I guess we're gonna find out. What kind of watch is this?

00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:20.430
This is the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic.

00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:24.520
It's a watch from Samsung with an OS made by Google.

00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:29.470
The first Wear OS watch that's not useless to come out in however many years.

00:00:29.470 --> 00:00:33.130
It's not even made by Google, but hopefully it's good.

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,

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:42.760
this is using Tizen. This is the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2,

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.

00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:50.480
But I currently do use a Samsung watch,

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:54.323
so this is interesting to me. So I guess let's unbox it.

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.

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.670
Whoa, look, a watch! (laughs) - No way! - Oh, there's some other stuff, hold on.

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.

00:01:13.790 --> 00:01:18.790
We also have over here, the Galaxy Watch4. (laughs)

00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.750
Interestingly enough, they have changed up the naming schemes here.

00:01:22.750 --> 00:01:27.200
On the last generation, the Active watch was the one that got a sort of suffix.

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:31.403
This one is the Active2, part of the Watch3 series.

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,

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.870
and then the Classic one with the physical dial

00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:49.840
is now the one that has a suffix, and this is called the Galaxy Watch4 Classic.

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.630
Oh man, this black background is not ideal. I think what we're gonna do,

00:01:53.630 --> 00:01:57.210
as much as you should definitely check out lttstore.com and get yourself a mouse pad...

00:01:57.210 --> 00:02:00.790
Oh, oh, it's so much better, Andy. (laughs)

00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:03.910
You can actually see what we're looking at. Oh geez.

00:02:03.910 --> 00:02:07.900
So in the box, usually you would get a little cable like this.

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.

00:02:13.510 --> 00:02:17.380
Samsung hasn't jumped off that bridge yet, I guess.

00:02:17.380 --> 00:02:20.393
So it's just a little magnetic guy, clips on like that.

00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:25.910
It feels pretty similar to the previous generation in terms of magnet-ness.

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.

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.620
In terms of the outside aesthetic, we've definitely seen a few updates.

00:02:35.620 --> 00:02:39.570
They have sort of smoothed out the side over the previous generation.

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.

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,

00:02:50.540 --> 00:02:54.230
maybe a tiny bit smaller, they have smoothed out the back.

00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:57.260
You see that, Andy? On the old watch, there was sort of a bump.

00:02:57.260 --> 00:03:00.690
On this one, it's nice and smooth. After wearing it for a couple of days,

00:03:00.690 --> 00:03:04.530
I can definitely say that this watch feels more natural.

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.

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.

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.

00:03:18.170 --> 00:03:22.020
For the Watch4 there's two versions, a 40 mil or a 44 mil,

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.

00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:32.510
This is the 46. This is as by the name suggests,

00:03:32.510 --> 00:03:35.393
a classier watch.

00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:40.350
That was a bad joke. All right. As for the rest of the outside,

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.

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.

00:03:49.950 --> 00:03:54.140
Yeah, looks like the exact same mechanism. So there's just a little pin,

00:03:54.140 --> 00:03:58.220
you pull that down and pop it in place like that.

00:03:58.220 --> 00:04:02.173
Oh wait, oh wow. This one slides entirely. Oh, that is different, actually.

00:04:03.250 --> 00:04:07.400
What the hell? All right, I lied. It's a little different.

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:12.730
Let's pop this guy on. Seems like the band sizing is the same.

00:04:12.730 --> 00:04:16.000
Man, this is an exceptionally comfortable watch.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.320
I am a huge fan of this new generation. Will definitely probably be buying one.

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.

00:04:28.105 --> 00:04:31.310
- What the... - What? - What? - Kludgier?

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?

00:04:34.585 --> 00:04:35.835
- Kludgy? Yeah.

00:04:39.164 --> 00:04:41.081
Oh, this feels so nice.

00:04:42.552 --> 00:04:46.710
- [Jono] ASMR. - All right, I'm gonna start off with the Classic.

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

00:04:50.610 --> 00:04:54.540
a word from our sponsor, Manscaped. Manscaped's Performance Package 4.0

00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:58.180
is designed to make grooming below the waist easier with their Lawn Mower 4.0,

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,

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

00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:16.010
Oh yeah, cool. Samsung. So it doesn't say Google, which is interesting.

00:05:16.010 --> 00:05:19.673
It did not make my notification... Oh, wow, look at that. You see that?

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.

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?

00:05:29.257 --> 00:05:33.430
"For your review, sending of diagnostic data." Yes, take all my anonymized data

00:05:33.430 --> 00:05:37.579
that's really not that anonymous. (bright music)

00:05:42.460 --> 00:05:46.210
Cool. "Getting Google account info. This might take a few minutes."

00:05:47.390 --> 00:05:48.840
Well, it's definitely Google.

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.730
I just wanna spin this dial more. (groans) Oh my God.

00:06:00.730 --> 00:06:04.680
Okay, I think we're connected. We got 44% battery. Take a tour. Start.

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.903
Whoa. Swipe down, swipe up.

00:06:09.410 --> 00:06:13.793
Hey, did you know if you swipe one way, the screen will move that way?

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.850
Who would have thought? So right off the bat,

00:06:18.850 --> 00:06:21.683
I'm gonna say the responsiveness is definitely better.

00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:25.660
You almost don't even notice when it hitches a little bit.

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:29.030
So we got some new stuff here. There's a body composition,

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,

00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:39.350
body mass index. They got some supposedly new sleep stuff.

00:06:39.350 --> 00:06:43.290
Got your calendar there, an ECG which we can't use in Canada

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,

00:06:46.767 --> 00:06:50.723
"You can't do this in your region." Heart rate. Let's measure our heart rate.

00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:53.490
What are the odds this one works?

00:06:55.550 --> 00:07:00.310
Oh, it's working. Nice, K, cool. My resting heart rate is 79 right now.

00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:03.870
A little bit higher than resting average. Probably 'cause I'm on camera.

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.570
Oh, we can measure my stress. How does that work?

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.

00:07:13.450 --> 00:07:17.917
- [Jono] Your car's being towed. - No! My car's not even here.

00:07:17.917 --> 00:07:20.910
"Breathe." Wait, so I guess I'm not stressed?

00:07:22.167 --> 00:07:26.420
"Breathe." Six cycles. Nope, not doing that. (laughs)

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:30.070
Oh, Linus will love this. The badminton tracker actually works on the watch now.

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.

00:07:34.070 --> 00:07:37.700
But now, badminton right there. What else we got here? We've got apps.

00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:40.820
Whoa, this interface is definitely better than the Apple Watch.

00:07:40.820 --> 00:07:45.070
I can't stand the, like, globe.

00:07:45.070 --> 00:07:48.380
Can we just show that? How do I even open it on this? There we go.

00:07:48.380 --> 00:07:52.820
I have always hated this. Apple, this is not...

00:07:52.820 --> 00:07:56.440
I mean, it's not bad, but it's... Okay, it is bad.

00:07:56.440 --> 00:08:02.180
This is not intuitive until you remember the location of all, like, 150 icons here.

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.

00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:11.060
I only have one axis I can mess around with.

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.

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.

00:08:23.900 --> 00:08:26.093
Go to the bottom. Look at that.

00:08:27.650 --> 00:08:31.670
- [Jono] Andy has like the biggest tan line I've ever seen. - A watch tan line?

00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:36.023
Wow, can you show that on camera? Holy crap. Oh my God, that's horrible.

00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:40.450
- Hey, I have an Apple Watch. - Ugh! Wait, turn your ARM.

00:08:40.450 --> 00:08:43.873
Oh! - Don't tell my wife. - That's a bad watch tan.

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.243
Oh, it's doing... Oh, Bixby. No!

00:08:48.510 --> 00:08:52.030
That's not what I wanted. Can you use Google Assistant on this?

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

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

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:05.153
running not a (beep) virtual assistant, but we can at least use Bixby.

00:09:06.270 --> 00:09:09.053
Hey, Bixby. Why do you suck so bad?

00:09:12.476 --> 00:09:16.328
- [Bixby] Hmm, I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm always getting better!

00:09:16.328 --> 00:09:20.020
(tragic music) (man laughing)

00:09:20.020 --> 00:09:23.653
- No, you're not. The only thing worse than Bixby is Siri.

00:09:25.470 --> 00:09:30.530
You know, for a really small interface, this Google Play Store on Wear OS is,

00:09:30.530 --> 00:09:34.690
it's pretty functional. Are these games? Oh my God.

00:09:34.690 --> 00:09:37.740
I can play 2048. Why?

00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:41.770
What, like, can you play COD Mobile on a watch? (laughs)

00:09:41.770 --> 00:09:44.623
Hey, look. Look at my little catto. He's so cute.

00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:49.210
Oh. Oh, that's cool. If I have my phone playing audio,

00:09:49.210 --> 00:09:51.710
like say if I had this plugged into some speakers,

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:55.683
I can use this to adjust the volume. That's cool.

00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:00.551
Oh! (bright music)

00:10:00.551 --> 00:10:03.213
It's got a little dial up number thing.

00:10:05.050 --> 00:10:08.562
Okay, it's there. Jono Tan, there we go. We're calling. Hi.

00:10:08.562 --> 00:10:12.480
- [Jono] Hello, hey. - [Jake] Can you hear me? - [Jono] Yeah, I can hear you.

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.540
- It's kind of quiet, honestly. Hey, I'm talking about stuff and things.

00:10:15.540 --> 00:10:18.623
How do I sound? I sound good? - [Jono] Yeah, it sounds fine.

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.

00:10:22.630 --> 00:10:26.100
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:28.213
7, 8, 9. - It sounds not bad.

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

00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.093
really quick before you hang up. Switch to phone.

00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:43.290
Hi. - [Jono] Hey. - That was really seamless. Let's try switching back.

00:10:43.290 --> 00:10:47.820
Hello. - [Jono] Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the same.

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:51.990
- Wow, all right. I hung up on him, I didn't even say bye.

00:10:51.990 --> 00:10:57.420
I'm just a bad guy. So clearly this watch can do a lot of things.

00:10:57.420 --> 00:11:01.730
We can make phone calls, we can control the music on our phone.

00:11:01.730 --> 00:11:05.410
It seems to serve a lot of purposes. For me, my watch is mostly there

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.

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,

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:17.020
which is nice. I definitely wanna change this watch face because it is so ugly.

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.

00:11:21.950 --> 00:11:26.480
I'm a bear now. Oh, look. Oh, he's got a friend.

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.410
That's cute. Can I customize him? Who is this bear?

00:11:31.410 --> 00:11:33.133
We're watching a movie.

00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:38.983
You see that? Bear and dude are watching a movie.

00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:45.440
Ooh, here's a thing to note. This watch, a lot better

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:49.380
at the raising your ARM awareness if you're not using always on display.

00:11:49.380 --> 00:11:53.050
I have a lot of problems with my Galaxy Watch Active2

00:11:53.050 --> 00:11:56.470
with not registering. It seems like they have tuned this watch

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,

00:12:02.731 --> 00:12:04.010
like if I just go...

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.

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:15.903
Oh. Oh, there we go.

00:12:16.810 --> 00:12:22.760
Got one without it that time. In terms of daily driving them, with this specific watch,

00:12:22.760 --> 00:12:27.260
I don't think there was a single instance of me being like, "Come on, activate!"

00:12:27.260 --> 00:12:30.920
Whereas I get that daily with my previous gen Active2.

00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:34.553
The new versions are using an OLED screen like the previous generation. But this time around,

00:12:34.553 --> 00:12:38.320
they have Corning Gorilla Glass DX+, which is the same sort of glass

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.490
that they use on a lot of their camera lenses. So that's interesting.

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

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

00:12:51.670 --> 00:12:56.040
to 16 on these newer models. They have the same amount of RAM, I think.

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

00:13:01.400 --> 00:13:05.520
than the Active2. This is 340 and the new ones are 361,

00:13:05.520 --> 00:13:09.110
at least for the larger size, and 247 on the smaller size.

00:13:09.110 --> 00:13:13.293
So overall, I'm pretty impressed. The look and feel of these new devices,

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,

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,

00:13:24.890 --> 00:13:28.840
which is impressive given that they've completely switched to a new operating system.

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.

00:13:33.510 --> 00:13:37.430
If you think this watch is just as cool as I do, because, mm, pretty cool,

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,

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

00:13:44.410 --> 00:13:49.410
another one of our ShortCircuit unboxings and overviews, like on the Linus did on the TicWatch.

00:13:49.410 --> 00:13:53.050
That was a pretty cool watch. Goodbye.

00:13:53.050 --> 00:13:55.633
