Hi everyone!

I was in the market for a Galaxy Watch 42mm with LTE and found this steal.

Turns out JB Hi-Fi was selling the Galaxy Watch 42mm w/ LTE for the same price as the Galaxy Watch 42mm w/o LTE!

Comparison:

Some advantages of this watch (from what I see) include:

  • Straps aren't proprietary.
  • Seems to be better than Apple Watch Series 3 for fitness tracking (i.e. can track more workouts than just cardio).
  • Circular, so looks more like a normal watch (and offers always-on display too!)

But then issues of this watch include:

  • Runs Tizen, not Android Wear, so limited app selection.
  • Bixby is worse than Siri.
  • Limited watch faces (but the default ones seem fine as is).

    Is this worth upgrading to from a Pebble? Have been using one for years and still working fine but kinda interested in trying a more traditional looking watch haha

    Runs Tizen, not Android Wear, so limited app selection.

    A positive in my experience. Assistant is on my phone, so just use that if I really need it.

    Notifications show up on the watch, anyway.

    Activity tracking, and general exercise usage is wayyyyyyy better than anything Google fit can offer. I now use Samsung health which I hugely prefer over Google fit.

    Lol, look at the one review on the JB website. Poor, naive Trev. Thought he'd be getting free LTE.

  • Polde on 09/03/2019 - 20:23

    These do look nice, but am kinda still tempted by the Xiaomi Amazefit Bip watches based on the price

  • fantoo on 09/03/2019 - 21:27

    Check this deal from good guys ebay
    Deal
    This might be cheaper.

    • rumchaser on 09/03/2019 - 22:10

      Not LTE model though .

  • flagger on 10/03/2019 - 08:37

    Just wanted to say there are thousands of watch faces. You just need to download them from the galaxy store.

  • aspirepranesh on 12/03/2019 - 13:50

    If anyone here hasnt picked it up, try to cancel and grab one from my recent deal, its $100 cheaper and shipped from MS Ebay.

    Out of stock guys.
