Charging is reasonably fast, though: About half an hour gave me enough top-off battery to wear for the rest of the day if needed.
My impressions for now: Promisingly incomplete
Here’s the real question looming over the Watch 4: it’s the first of a new line of Google Wear OS-enabled watches coming down the road. Others may not get the new OS until 2022: Fossil’s next watches, Mobvoi’s newer TicWatch models, and a promised Fitbit Wear OS watch.
Samsung is leading the pack with the first effort, and the Galaxy Watch 4 has a lot going for it. But it still doesn’t feel like One Unified OS to make me feel like I’m solidly in one ecosystem. That’s because I’m not: it’s still Samsung’s watch world, with a Google layer underneath.
