    I have a family member with a Samsung phone who wanted to monitor blood pressure, is this a good xmas option?

      If it's just what they want it for. They can wait for the Samsung galaxy watch4 40 mm. It was on sale on Black friday for $189 at Bing lee. The difference with these watch it's a 44 mm which has a bit bigger battery and it's the LTE model where you can use it without your mobile nearby if you add an esim to it.

      • jcdenton on 14/12/2022 - 11:07

        Thanks, the recipient being a grandmother I was worried 40mm may need better eyesight. LTE would be handy but probably a battery drain, I was more concerned if the 5 adds better functionality.

          LTE is a huge battery drain esp in low receptiom areas. Will literally use 1% every 30-40s

          • jcdenton on 14/12/2022 - 11:16

            @kehuehue: Can mobile data be disabled when not near wifi?

            • kehuehue on 14/12/2022 - 11:23
              +3

              @jcdenton: Yes better to disable LTE altogether imo if im low reception area. Not manu except big telcos support it anyway. Had a hard time activating it on smaller ones
              Anytime a bt (to the phone) connection is lost, it will go to lte and battery will drain before you know it. If just wifi is lost, i think it will use data through BT from the phone.

        • sagrules on 14/12/2022 - 12:13

          Ah shame, the LTE is main reason i wanted the 40mm one. Can you recommend another brand for LTE?

        • V2307T on 14/12/2022 - 14:42

          I use Fitbit Versa 3, very light user. Battery lasts about 5days.

        • hellodealhunter on 14/12/2022 - 14:55

          Looking for the same answer. Truphone seems to work only with apple watch

    • scrimshaw on 14/12/2022 - 11:04

      The blood pressure monitor requires calibration on the first use, and every second week to maintain accuracy. This will require you to sit next to a proper blood pressure monitor, taking 2 readings and the watch will ask you to input the data so that it knows what your diastolic and systolic values are.

      • sagrules on 14/12/2022 - 12:14

        What?!? They should really specify that in terms and conditions

    Buy this if you want a new job. Head of Battery management for watch.

    • Shon on 14/12/2022 - 11:17

      Can't agree more. So annoying. And the slow charging is a disgrace. 2 hours charge for every 20 hours use. I'd have sold mine if it wasn't suddenly worth less than $150 second hand…

    • Yorm8 on 14/12/2022 - 11:31

      How much battery life are you guys getting out of yours and what functions do you have on?

      I love it, have the 40mm, but was thinking of upgrading for better battery life.

      • Shon on 14/12/2022 - 11:48

        Get the 5, at least the charging isn't at 5w. The whole 4 series is limited by that very strange decision imho. With everything off I get 2 days. With airplane mode maybe 3. With all on, beside AOD, lucky to get a full day.

        • d3ft on 14/12/2022 - 12:23
          +3

          I'm having no trouble getting through the day with the Watch 5 40mm. AOD on and LTE, although connected to the phone most of the day.

          I'm a light user but I feel like the trashing of the battery life on these things is coming from very, very heavy users expecting way too much out of a tiny battery.

          The functionality on offer is basically phone like so daily charging seems like a pretty reasonable trade off.

          • Shon on 14/12/2022 - 12:47

            @d3ft: The difference is the charging speed, with the 5 you can stick it on the charger having a shower and get enough for most of the day. With the 4 you would get around 10%-20% which would last you another few hours - repeat the cycle, or take it off for 2 hours straight, forget about it, repeat.

            So even as a light user step/exercise/sleep tracking end up with 2+ hours a day with no tracking.

          • itsfree on 14/12/2022 - 22:07

            @d3ft: Agreed. I have a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (LTE), and right now I'm at 56% charge after wearing it this morning at 100% charge @ 9:30am.

            It's really not that bad.

        • macrocephalic on 14/12/2022 - 17:14

          If you don't need all the features then plenty of the cheaper brands get 5+ days from a charge (but you can't make calls with it etc). I have a $70 Amazfit and the battery lasts up to a month on a charge. Basically it allows me to read messages and get alerts. My phone is on DND 24/7 now and my watch alerts me to everything.

    • Soothsayer on 14/12/2022 - 12:34

      I'll say that applies the most to LTE models, LTE really kills the battery, and the smaller non classic model is also the worst in the lineup in terms of battery size.

      I've had no complaints with the battery on my Watch 4 Classic 46mm, non LTE. I have everything on (AOD, continuous HR/stress etc) and I get to end of the day with at least 40% every day, with a current estimate of almost 2 days on a full charge. The firmware update a few months ago really gave it a boost in battery life but before that there was still no problem making a full day.

      That said, I don't wear it to sleep or track snoring so I could see why recharge rate would be an issue for those who wear it 24/7.

    • adam149 on 14/12/2022 - 12:54
      +1

      The issue is you have to switch on Aerorplane mode to get anything more than a day. I can almost go 2 days but then you have to plan your day around charging the watch and that takes 1.5 hours. It's not acceptable, add in the notifications about it going flat, its a big pain. Once my watch was powered on at the passcode prompt, I hadn't booted it yet and lost 25 percent battery. Worst. Don't get it.

  • alpsz94 on 14/12/2022 - 11:30

    Thanks OP - got one for the wife for xmas. Have the classic watch4 46mm LTE myself - battery is fine and very durable.

  • thumbybumbi on 14/12/2022 - 11:35

    wish it was the 40mm and black, but this is an excellent price for LTE! Thanks OP

    • Scrooge McDeal on 14/12/2022 - 11:38

      Extra savings for anyone that bought the 15% off discounted gift cards from Coles. The only annoying part it's to convert them to Jb hifi gift card in order to use it online.

    • Maybe on 15/12/2022 - 01:03

      Curious to know why you prefer 40mm over 44mm? I currently have the 40mm and not sure if I should upgrade to this!

      • thumbybumbi on 15/12/2022 - 09:55
        +1

        just aesthetics to be honest - the size of the 44m looks a bit too big on my wrist

      • adam149 on 15/12/2022 - 17:23
        +1

        Depends on your wrist but I find 44mm is way too big. Guys wearing large watches are compensating for other areas imo.

  • kryptexAndroid on 14/12/2022 - 11:54

    In terms of features like heart rate and other health management, which one would be better between this and apple watch series 7?
    Noticed a few of the apple ones are on sale as well.

    • sam buster on 14/12/2022 - 13:26

      Well, what kind of phone might you pair it with?
      the Samsung Watch reserves some of its features for use with Samung phones only - eg ECG, I think, and something else.
      If you don't have a Samsung phone you can still use most of the features, but you need to install several apps on your phone.

      I'm not sure, but I think Apple Watch is only compatible with iPhones?

  • misterpotatomato on 14/12/2022 - 12:10

    Just be aware, there is currently an update for the Galaxy Watch 4 that is bricking watches. A quick Google search shows it to be pretty widespread.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=galaxy+watch+4+firmware+upda…

    I know the reports are from November, but I plugged my watch in one night and accepted the update, and came back 10 minutes later and my watch was completely dead. It's incredibly bad Quality Assurance from Samsung to ship an update that bricks watches.

    In relation to my experience with Samsung support, I would not buy this watch for that reason alone. Here's why:

    The support is incredibly bad. In my local area, there are Samsung stores where you can go and get support, but they are not actually owned by Samsung. Samsung contracts out these services to a company called "Retail Prodigy", and as RP is not Samsung, they only have enough power to convince you that you're just imagining the problem. In some cases, if you have a warranty problem with the watch, you can't just turn up at one of these stores for a resolution, as they require you to have an appointment first. Worse still, if you are experiencing repeated failures, RP can't make a decision under the Australian Consumer Law to repair, replace, or refund. I have had a manager of the Chermside store tell me that they, as the most senior person, they can't replace a device.

    So once you have an appointment, turn up, and go through the extremely lengthy device submission process (about 15-20 minutes of an RP staff member tapping on a laptop), you can finally submit your device for warranty repair. Then after repeated failures you can keep turning up to these Samsung boutiques who can't actually help, so you wind up emailing Samsung Voice of Customer as well. In the end, it becomes a pretty frequent cadence, experience problems with a Samsung device, immediately email Samsung VOC first, claim a replacement or whatever you want, and then take it to a Samsung store and make sure that they attach it to the VOC case. In the end, VOC will usually make it right, but in doing so will make it seem like they are doing you a favor when they are merely observing their ACL responsibilities to replace, repair, or refund in the case of a major failure.

    Disclaimer: I have a Samsung phone and watch (as you could probably tell), but I also have some Apple devices, and truthfully I've had poor experiences at both Samsung and Apple. But at least with Apple, they actually have Apple employees in the store in a managerial capacity so there's usually less driving around involved in getting a remedy. The most telling difference is that at the Apple stores I have gone to, they have little pamphlets talking about the consumers' rights under ACL, whereas at the Samsung stores, they have nothing like that.

    I eagerly await the "found the apple fanboy" comments 🤓

    • scrimshaw on 14/12/2022 - 12:37

      The articles are written in November. The bad Over-the-Air update for this watch has already been pulled and is now not longer affecting Galaxy Watches

        Sadly not the case with me, as I updated two weeks ago and it bricked

    • OrderedChaos on 14/12/2022 - 13:44

      Goodness. I concur. My experience with them has been pathetic as well. Thanks for the voc suggestion.

      • misterpotatomato on 14/12/2022 - 13:47
        +2

        You can email them at: [email protected]. Just find something under the ACL, compare your case with it, and then proceed from there. In my case, their solution to my bricked Galaxy Watch 4 was to replace it with a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. You might think "what is this guy complaining about! He got a free upgrade", but I find as I get older, I just prefer things to work and not break, as opposed to break and possibly get an upgrade.

  • Shak2093 on 14/12/2022 - 13:34

    How did i miss this in my emails!? I ended up buying the watch less than an hour ago at the discounted price ($274), any chance JB would honour the cheaper price with the code?

    • Scrooge McDeal on 14/12/2022 - 13:41

      If unopened return it and purchase online with these deal. Worth trying asking for the price difference. However it depends on the staff. These deal it's only for the green color and there isn't any stock in-store. Hope that helps.

  • OrderedChaos on 14/12/2022 - 13:43

    Good deal. Picked up the Watch 5 on Samsung Edu for $333. Was tempted but will stick with the 5 for the extra $80'ish.

    What is the economic esim plan for cellular galaxy watch?
    It seems we cannot stick on prepaid or economic postpaid like Amaysim

    • Scrooge McDeal on 14/12/2022 - 15:07

      I know with Vodafone and Telstra it's an additional $5 per month.

      • hellodealhunter on 14/12/2022 - 15:40

        I think that's minimum $40 and then additional $5. That too without international calling
