The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic made their global debut at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event, marking a landmark moment for wearables: both are Samsung's first smartwatches powered by the new Wear OS built in partnership with Google and Samsung, running under the One UI Watch 3 interface.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Price and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 starts at $249.99 (approximately Rs 18,600) for the Bluetooth variant. If you need cellular connectivity, the LTE model is priced at $299.99 (approximately Rs 22,300). The premium Galaxy Watch 4 Classic carries a higher price tag — the Bluetooth version costs $349.99 (approximately Rs 26,000), while the LTE model is available at $399.99 (approximately Rs 29,700).
Both watches were unveiled alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and new Galaxy earbuds at the same Unpacked event.
Key Features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
Both the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic come loaded with an impressive suite of health and fitness tools. Samsung's BioActive sensor packs an optical heart rate monitor and a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sensor into the same module. Add to that SpO2 tracking, continuous sleep analysis, ECG monitoring, and fall detection — all medically certified — and you have one of the most health-focused smartwatch lineups Samsung has ever released.
Both models ship with pre-loaded sports modes covering a wide range of activities. For protection, each watch carries an IP68 water-resistant rating, making them suitable for swimming and other water activities.
Display, Performance, and Battery
Display size varies by case size. The Galaxy Watch 4 40mm and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 42mm feature a 1.2-inch AMOLED display, while the larger Galaxy Watch 4 44mm and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm step up to a 1.4-inch AMOLED display. All variants are protected by Gorilla Glass DX for scratch and impact resistance.
Under the hood, Samsung uses its own Exynos W920 chip paired with 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage — making it snappy enough to handle apps, watch faces, and fitness data without lag.
Battery capacity is also tied to case size: the smaller 40mm and 42mm models house a 247mAh cell, while the larger 44mm and 46mm variants carry a 361mAh battery for extended run time.
Connectivity
The watches support an extensive connectivity stack: 4G LTE, Dual Band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and multi-system GPS covering GPS, Glonass, BeiDou, and Galileo. This makes the Galaxy Watch 4 series genuinely useful even when your phone is out of reach.
