![]() ![]() Juggling my 90-pound dog Steve, phone, keys and sometimes a coffee, I often forget to launch my walk workouts. ![]() Between taking my dog to the park twice a day and opting to walk anywhere in New York City within an hour away, I had plenty of chances to see how well the Galaxy Watch 4’s auto workout tracking works. Of all my exercise banked with the Galaxy Watch 4, most of it came from walking. I selected time elapsed, calories burned, current heart rate and max heart rate, though there are few more metrics to choose from. I think it overestimated my calorie burn, but I took this opportunity to customize what information I see on-screen during my workouts. I alternated between upper body, lower body and core exercises with dumbbells, getting a 30-minute update the same way I did when cycling. Though this degree of specificity is something not many smartwatches offer, I stuck with the circuit training option. If you’re the kind to do 100 reps of the same move in a row, the Galaxy Watch has niche selections like arm curls, bench press, lateral raises, pull-ups and more. It even shows on-screen guidance for form and counting reps - a feature that makes Fitbit's watches like the Fitbit Versa 3 such capable workout companions. There are two ways you can track traditional weight training, either by individual exercises or with a catch-all circuit training option. I put the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 to the test back in the gym. I’ll talk more about the auto-pause feature in a bit. The Galaxy Watch 4’s auto-pause feature also recognized I wasn’t riding during the photo opp, resulting in a more accurate reflection of my bike ride. I walked in circles a few times to find good lighting, I guess. My Apple Watch said I traveled a full tenth of a mile further, but I neglected to pause my outdoor cycle on the Apple Watch when I took a break halfway through the ride to capture some pictures of the ocean. My bike’s odometer registered a near-identical distance. My ride lasted just over an hour, so I heard summaries twice.Īccording to the Galaxy Watch 4, I burned 514 calories and averaged 9.5 miles per hour on my approximately 10-mile ride. ![]() Not only did it count completed miles aloud, it provided a brief workout summary every 30 minutes, too. But if I chose not to glance, the Galaxy Watch 4 provides audible updates. I manually launched my cycling working at the start of the ride, enabling the always-on display so I could see the metrics I want without twisting my wrist up from my handlebars. ![]()
