Hi Reddit, I need some advice on choosing between two smartwatches: the Apple Watch SE (40mm GPS) and the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (42mm GPS). I got both of them on Black Friday, but I can only keep one and return the other. The problem is, I can’t decide which one to keep.
I use both Android and iOS devices for testing purposes, so the mobile / OS compatibility is not an issue for me. I also haven’t had the chance to test the battery life of either watch, which is very important for me. Here are some pros and cons that I have noticed so far:
Apple Watch SE (40mm GPS)
- Pros:
- Butter smooth experience
- Great integration and connectivity with Apple devices
- Better design and display (square covers more content)
- Accurate health tracking
- Cons:
- Cannot receive WhatsApp call notification since the app doesn’t support it (I use WhatsApp a lot)
- 2x costlier (180 in Black Friday)
- Not a fan of square watch, but again it shows more content
Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (42mm GPS)
- Pros:
- All the required features work well for 99% of use case
- I love the rotating bezel
- Half the price (99 in Black Friday)
- Cons:
- UI lags a little
- Cuts important info a lot of times (due to round design)
- Integration is not amazing, sometimes get delayed notification
- Samsung’s privacy is a major concern
So, what do you think? Which one should I keep and which one should I return? What was your experience with either of the watches? If you were in my place, what would you have done? Please share your thoughts and opinions.
Thanks!
