Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review: The first take of a great future idea

I didn’t look at the smaller Watch 4, but both bigger sizes looked great on my large wrists. The 20mm pin-release watch straps can be replaced with other bands, more like a standard watch strap than anything proprietary. The straps bulge out a bit from the lugs, though, making the fit look a little stiff on-wrist.

Dust and all, a look at how the display fares in bright sunlight. (Really well.)

The Super AMOLED display looks great, bright and crisp and colorful. Samsung’s preloaded watch faces are also really lovely. The animated animals, cute characters, and frequently dynamic effects make this watch’s faces feel like the best ones I’ve seen outside of the Apple Watch. Most have lots spaces for complications (widgets for apps to show data, like weather or fitness info). Others have none. Google’s own Wear OS watch faces are available too, along with plenty on Google Play to check out.
