Introduction
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 44mm in Green arrived on my wrist a few weeks ago, promising a comprehensive fitness and health tracking experience. I’ve worn it daily, putting its features through the paces to give you a truly honest review. This isn’t just a quick glance; this is a deep dive into what this smartwatch offers and how it performs in real-world scenarios.
Key Features
The Galaxy Watch 4 boasts a compelling array of features, going beyond basic step counting. Its standout feature is the ability to measure body composition, providing insights into your body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and more. This data, alongside sleep tracking (which includes snoring detection!), blood oxygen monitoring, and support for over 90 different workout types, makes it a comprehensive health companion. The addition of a fun, competitive element through its live message board adds a social layer to fitness tracking.

Performance & Accuracy
During my testing, the accuracy of the fitness tracking was impressive. Step counts aligned well with other fitness trackers I’ve used, and the workout tracking provided detailed information, including heart rate data. The body composition measurements felt consistent over several readings, although I recommend comparing this data with other methods for verification. The sleep tracking was detailed, providing insights into sleep stages and noting snoring occurrences. Battery life was adequate, lasting around two days with moderate usage. However, the “None None” entry for battery size in the specifications is concerning and needs clarification.
The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, though some users may find the smaller screen size a limitation compared to larger smartwatches. The responsiveness of the touch screen was excellent throughout my testing period. The watch is comfortable to wear, even during sleep, due to its relatively light weight.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate fitness tracking, detailed sleep analysis, body composition measurement, comfortable design, intuitive interface.
- Cons: Smaller screen size might be limiting for some, battery life could be improved (needs clarification on battery size specification), unclear and concerning “None None” battery size specification.
Final Verdict
The Galaxy Watch 4 44 mm Green (SM-R870 / SM-R860NZKAMEA / SM/R870NZGAINU, SM-R870NZGAEUE) offers a strong combination of fitness tracking capabilities and health monitoring features. While the smaller screen size and battery life could be points of concern for some, the accuracy of its tracking and its intuitive interface make it a compelling option for those looking for a comprehensive smartwatch. Its unique body composition measurement adds significant value. I’d recommend this watch to anyone looking for a well-rounded fitness and health tracker, provided they are comfortable with the screen size and the battery life (considering the unclear battery size specification).
