INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Apple has just revealed its new Watch Series 4 alongside a trio of iPhones at a media event in California
Google opting to remain on the sidelines for a while longer, derailing our hopes of a Pixel Watch launching imminently, the battle for
new Watch Series 4 measures up against the Galaxy Watch.Design and displayImage 1 of 2Apple Watch 4Image 2 of 2Samsung Galaxy Watch (42mm on
the left, 46mm on the right)Samsung and Apple take two markedly different approaches to smartwatch design with the respective wearables
The Samsung Galaxy Watch has a circular touch screen display with a rotating bezel for scrolling through the operating system; size options
It does not have a rotating bezel, but instead employs the rotating Digital Crown to aid with navigation through its watchOS interface
continues to offer two sizes of Watch for 2018, but where all previous generations included cases of 38mm and 42mm, the Series 4 stretches
this slightly to 40mm and 44mm
This growth is down to the new wearable having a larger display, which is 30% larger than the Series 3 and accommodates more complex faces
smaller wrists - or just consumers who prefer a more compact timepiece
The GPS model, which has Wi-Fi but no LTE, comes only with an aluminium case, while the GPS + Cellular model can be bought in stainless
On top of this, there is the Nike+ version in silver and space gray aluminium, and the Hermes collection in polished stainless steel with a
screen of the Samsung, which tends to cut off the corners as you scroll
But then the Samsung feels more watch-like, with its digital faces resembling actual watches instead of the mini-computer-on-your-wrist look
of the Apple Watch.Fitness and featuresBoth Samsung and Apple have included heart rate monitors on these smartwatches, and accelerometers
mean they can track your daily steps and exercise, too
The Galaxy Watch uses its heart rate monitor to keep an eye on your stress levels, giving you a nudge to chill for a minute and breathe if
different exercise activities, but if you jump into the app and set things up yourself, it can log forty different sports and exercises,
like running, cycling, weight-lifting, yoga and much more
This marks the first time than an over-the-counter device can do this, and it has earned certification from the US Food and Drug
hand not wearing the watch onto its Digital Crown
The Watch Series 4 then records your heart rhythm classification and saves the data, ready to be presented to your doctor as a PDF on your
difference between the smartwatches of Samsung and Apple is that only the former works with both Android and iOS, whereas the Apple Watch
We know the Samsung Galaxy Watch has a 472mAh cell, far larger than the 279mAh battery of the year-old Apple Watch Series 3, but the Watch
Galaxy Watch and up to seven days for the 46mm model
All that said, the basic functionality of each Apple Watch 4 is identical regardless of what you pay (LTE inclusion
notwithstanding).TakeawayThe winner ultimately comes down to which smartphone camp you currently sit in - iOS or Android - and what you
value most from your smartwatch.The Samsung Galaxy Watch has a far superior battery life, meaning nightly sleep tracking and less bothersome
monitoring sets it apart.The Watch 4 is also more likely to suit slimmer wrists, or will be preferred by those who are put off by the Galaxy
reserve judgement until we get hold of the Apple Watch Series 4 for ourselves.XrneVWdyLQZY9Tvm8XkFKW.jpg#
