Apple Watch Series 7 VS Galaxy Watch 4

Hello guys i have the apple watch series 7 and galaxy watch 4 both packed with a ton of features tons of options camera controls fitness sleep tracking and all that jazz so let's see which one is the best so did you know with the apple watch if you clench your fist twice you can activate something called assistive touch you basically use clenches and pinches to navigate the entire watch and it's actually kind of amazing i'm not gonna lie the galaxy watch 4 doesn't have anything close to this but they do still have some pretty cool gestures so if you're busy getting a phone call all you do to answer it is lift your arm up and down like this or if you're too busy to decline the call you just rotate your wrist like this you do just need to turn these settings on so on the apple watch it's under accessibility and Samsung watch it's under gestures hand gestures are actually surprisingly useful and you'll find yourself using them a lot but because you can control the entire watch with apple's assistive touch this one goes to apple okay now check this out i can actually control both my phone's cameras with my watches but there are some differences so as you can see both of them do an amazing job at showing you what your phone's cameras are seeing and luckily it's really easy on both the watches to activate this feature within the menus you just find the camera control application and you're good to go with the apple watch it's quite responsive and instantly shows you what the phone's camera is seeing you can of course snap pics or use the crown to zoom in and out of pictures then snap your shots if you click on those three little dots you also get access to a whole bunch of other different settings with the galaxy watch i would say it's not as responsive and does just lag ever so slightly but nonetheless you can still snap a pic from your wrist and add a timer if you want but there's really no way to zoom in or even access settings so again apple takes this one just because it has a little more features even though both these watches are super compact responding to messages is super easy thanks to their cool keyboards so on the apple watch if you receive a message you can go ahead open it up swipe down a bit and see the option for reply of course there are some quick replies if you want but when you click on reply it opens up the keyboard where you can type or even swipe your message and at the end of the day it's pretty good Samsung's however is slightly different because when you receive a message you can reply using the default keyboard which is kind of terrible but luckily you can download gboard which is what this is and with gboard you get haptics it's bigger and also much easier to write out messages so Samsung takes this one because you just can't beat that gboard keyboard okay so even though these are two very different smart watches they both have a lot of the same features with both of them you can make nfc payments using apple pay on the apple watch and Samsung pay on the galaxy watch in the control center both these watches have the find my phone feature so you can instantly ping your phone and find it they also have a nifty torch in case the lights go out and they're actually quite bright then there are a bunch of different fitness tracking exercises on both these watches that also track your heart rate and all that jazz they also both have galleries that are linked to your phone so anytime you take a new pick they will appear on your watch if you need to set an alarm timer or use a stopwatch you can do that too and sleep tracking is on both these watches so if you wear your watch to bed in the morning you'll have a bunch of super interesting sleep metrics also don't forget both these watches also have app stores where you can download a bunch of different apps on your watch so all of that being said I'd have to say both these watches win this round now this is where things get super interesting because on the galaxy watch you have a body composition measurer so all you do is slide your watch up your wrist a bit add your index and ring finger on these two buttons wait a couple of seconds and almost instantly you have your body mass index I've also tried this against a professional one and it's pretty accurate with the galaxy watch you also get snow detection and this one kind of blew my mind within the sleep metrics on your phone if you scroll down you'll see this option that says snoring and these are all voice recordings of your snoring throughout the night how crazy but then onto some of apple watch's unique features you can use your watch to unlock your phone and also MacBook and the walkie-talkie app is an amazing feature you can use to chat with anyone else who has an apple watch it doesn't matter where in the world your friend is so long as their walkie talkie app is active you can chat away through your watch well that's really epic but to weigh it up both have very different unique useful features so again both win this one now onto chatting about media if you receive a message with an image in it on the galaxy watch you can actually see the image from your watch but not with apple the same kind of applies to gifs so if you head into the gallery on both these watches with apple you cannot see the gif appear but Samsung will actually play it luckily you do get Spotify on both these watches and they're almost identical very similar features and super easy to navigate you can literally control all your music from your wrist but what if you wanted to watch videos on your watch well with Samsung you can download an app called wear videos and what this basically does is connects to your phone and then allows you to access any video that's already on your phone and allows you to view it from your watch on your wrist i mean this is so cool with apple watch on the other hand mind the pun you have nothing like this and the only way you can actually view a video on your watch is if someone sends it to you via imessage so because the galaxy watch 4 can handle more media and even play videos from your phone it definitely wins this round okay now time to talk about straps and with the apple watch you can very easily change straps just by clicking and holding down on that button on the back then sliding them out it's just as easy to slide them back in they click into place and it's literally that simple i honestly don't think it could be any easier so changing up your watch strap with apple is a breeze Samsung though is a little bit more difficult on the back you really need to get in there and pull this little lever which I'm not gonna lie is kind of a mission then shimmy out the strap it works a lot like traditional watches where it's definitely not as easy as pushing down a button but i mean at least there is still the option to switch things up so it's awesome that you can change the straps on both these watches but apple wins simply because it is so much easier to change okay so both these bad boys have voice assistant which is rare enough d with the apple watch you just click and hold down on the crown then siri activates and you can ask her anything like how to spell subscribe and 90 of the time she's actually quite helpful the apple watch also has this really cool feature where if you just lift your wrist and say something siri will automatically listen and respond the galaxy watch works much the same ways if you click and hold down on that button it'll activate bixby and from there you can ask her whatever it is you want as you can see it's definitely not as helpful as siri that's for sure but Samsung have said that google assistant will be available on the watches soon however because it's not this one has to go to apple chatting about the battery and each of these watches have over 300 milliamp hours but galaxy does just have a bit more juice what's really cool is both these watches have a power saving mode which is really really quick to toggle on both of them also have wireless charging and also charge at a fairly fast speed which is super nifty but when i've tested these watches and compared the battery life they are basically the same so both these watches win this round so to round it up the apple watch series 7 is better than the galaxy watch 4. that being said the apple watch series 7 is just the best choice for iphone users and the galaxy watch 4 is just the best choice for Samsung users either way both these watches are seriously amazing.
