Have you had your heart set on a new Galaxy Watch 4 but have been waiting for prices to drop? If so, Amazon’s current discounted prices on the latest models are sure to tempt you.
Smartwatches from Samsung’s Galaxy series are popular among Android users who want intuitive fitness and health monitoring that pairs with Android-powered phones. Although the previous model — the Galaxy Watch 3 — is still available, the two models in the 4 series offer exciting updates. That makes today’s sale prices too good to miss for tech lovers who are eager to experience all that the newest additions to the Android watch family have to offer.
Enthusiasts of fitness and health tracking wearables have long awaited the Watch 4 series updated Wear OS operating system that easily pairs with Android 6.0 and newer phones. The technology works with Google Assistant and Google Pay and offers a wide range of connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optional LTE.
In addition to tracking numerous fitness metrics, the Watch 4 series boasts a 3-in-1 health sensor that assesses bioelectrical impedance allowance and optical and electrical heart rate. In other words, it offers impressive heart-health monitoring that includes blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, heartbeat and irregular heartbeat detection.
Although Watch 4 series watches can also take ECG readings, it's always important to consult your health care provider with any health concerns. Fortunately, you can share your readings with your physician via the Samsung Health Monitor App.
When you are ready to buy a Samsung smartwatch from Galaxy’s 4 series, you’ll have two models to choose from — the Watch 4 Classic and Watch 4. Each model has a few similarities and differences to consider before you buy.
