What's New in Samsung Galaxy Watch 4?

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

The Galaxy Watch 4 marked Samsung's biggest smartwatch transformation, switching to WearOS, introducing body composition tracking, and partnering with Google for a unified platform. It's also the last Samsung watch with MST payment technology.

WearOS Platform Transition

The most significant change was abandoning Tizen for Google's WearOS.

What Was Gained: Full Google Play Store access with thousands of apps (vs limited Tizen app selection), Google Assistant alongside Bixby for dual voice assistant options, native Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube Music, and Google Keep integration, and industry-standard platform for better third-party app support.
What Was Lost: Tizen's 2-4 day battery life (Watch 4 lasts 18-24 hours), some Tizen-exclusive watch faces and apps, and the rotating bezel on the standard model (still available on Watch 4 Classic).

BioActive Sensor Technology

The Galaxy Watch 4 introduced the world's first smartwatch body composition analysis.

Body Composition: Measures body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, body water, BMI, and basal metabolic rate using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) from your wrist
ECG Monitoring: FDA-cleared electrocardiogram for detecting irregular heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation
Blood Oxygen (SpO2): On-demand and continuous monitoring during sleep
Blood Pressure: Wrist-based tracking after calibration with a traditional cuff (regional availability)

Previously, body composition required a separate smart scale or professional equipment.

Exynos W920 Processor

Samsung designed their first 5nm wearable chip specifically for WearOS.

Performance: 20% faster than previous generation with 50% better graphics
RAM: 1.5GB (up from 1GB in Galaxy Watch 3) for smoother multitasking
Storage: 16GB for apps and offline music

The upgraded processor ensures smooth app launching, fluid animations, and better WearOS performance.

Last Watch with MST Payments

The Galaxy Watch 4 is Samsung's final smartwatch with MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) payment technology.

MST + NFC: Works at approximately 90% of payment terminals, including older magnetic stripe readers where Apple Pay and Google Pay fail
Unique Advantage: Samsung removed MST from the Galaxy Watch 5 and all newer models, making the Watch 4 more versatile for payments than its successors

Comparison to Galaxy Watch 3

App Store	Galaxy Store (limited)	`Google Play Store`
Body Composition	No	Yes
Battery Life	2-4 days	18-24 hours

Rotating Bezel	Yes	No (except Classic)

Revolutionary, Not Incremental

The Galaxy Watch 4 wasn't just an upgrade—it was Samsung's complete reinvention of their smartwatch strategy, prioritizing app ecosystem and health innovation over multi-day battery life. It began Samsung's WearOS era while introducing health features that became the standard for future wearables.
