Adam Kos Both are leaders in their field. It is true about the Apple Watch that it is difficult to get a more ideal solution on your wrist than the iPhone, and about the Galaxy Watch4, the fact that with its Wear OS 3 it is supposed to be a full-fledged alternative for Android devices. Apart from notifying you about events in the connected device, they also measure activities. Which measures them better?
Although the devices do not actually compete directly, as the Apple Watch only communicates with iPhones and the Galaxy Watch4 only with Android devices, wearable electronics can also play a role in choosing a mobile phone. It is also because this segment of the market is still on the rise and ideally fits into the style of modern life. This, for example, in connection with TWS headphones, when Apple offers its AirPods, and Samsung has a portfolio of Galaxy Buds.

We therefore took both watches for a walk and compared the results. In the case of the Apple Watch Series 7, they were paired with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, in the case of the Galaxy Watch4 Classic, it was connected to the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G phone. Once we had an Apple Watch on our left hand and a Galaxy Watch on our right, then we swapped the two watches between them, of course changing the hand setting as well. But the results were the same. That's it, it's good to know that it doesn't really matter if you have the watch on one hand or the other during the activity, and if you're right-handed or left-handed. So below you will find a comparison of the values that the watch measured during the activity.
Distance
- Apple Watch Series 7: 1,73 km
- Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic: 1,76 km
Speed/average pace
- Apple Watch Series 7: 3,6 km/h (15 minutes and 58 seconds per kilometer)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic: 3,8km/h
Kilocalories
- Apple Watch Series 7: active 106 kcal, total 147
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic: 79 kcal
Pulse
- Apple Watch Series 7: 99 bpm (range 89 to 110 bpm)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic: 99 bpm (maximum 113 bpm)
Number of steps
- Apple Watch Series 7: 2 346
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic: 2 304

So there are some deviations after all. In both cases, the Apple Watch reported the previously "stepped" kilometer, which is why they also measured more steps, but paradoxically a shorter total distance. But Apple focuses primarily on calories, giving you a better overview of them, while the Galaxy Watch4 only shows one number without further details. As for the measured heart rate, the two devices rarely agreed, even if they did differ a little with the maximum.
don't you have a brain You will never know which is better if you don't have a reference measurement. How about including professional measurements in this, with the help of which you would find out what is accurate and based on that you would deduce what is more accurate/better? one or the other??? maybe that's not true..
True!
It is enough to read one article by that author and you will find that there is no point in reading the next one. I think it would be nice if the author filter could be turned on...
Exactly, completely useless article 😀🙉
That's exactly what I thought: "And where are the data about the actual distance, the actual number of steps and the actual time?!" This comparison is completely pointless. 💁♂️
I agree, it's a test like from elementary school kids 🤦♂️ It would really need a reference measurement, otherwise it's completely pointless..
That's right :)
That's exactly what I thought when I clicked - what professional gauge did they use for reference. It's not just letting go of anything and hoping you get away with it 😄
I had both and an interesting finding for me was that Samsung doesn't measure anything at all when it comes to the stroller, while Apple measured relatively accurately.
Well, I have nothing to add here. The test is absolute nonsense. He preferred to translate copied articles from abroad.
And how many were the realities that were more accurate?
I had a Samsung watch and I had to claim a new one, I didn't want it anymore because they counted steps even while driving in the car. It is also written in the manual that it is recommended to turn it off when driving in the car. Apple Watch 7, in addition to that I had a Fossil, unfortunately the battery died prematurely and now I only have an Apple Watch 7 and an Oppo Watch, which are not sold here, and Samsung watches never again, let whoever wants what they want, they are the biggest scumbags I had !!!!
From what I read from you, you're about 12-15 and you've never had a smart watch 😀 what you've spewed here is total nonsense 😀
Well, that's drool. The pear turned 8 times on the subway and the apple 12 times...
