This year's smartwatch fight is between the Apple Watch 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. You might be asking who wins now that both of these smartwatches have been formally revealed, with the former nearing release.



The Apple Watch 7 and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 are set to take the place of two of the greatest smartwatches on the market right now. Despite the fact that they cater to distinct users, the new features that both firms can offer to customers' wrists are usually what drives wearable computing innovation.

The Apple Watch 7 will be available for $399, the same price as the 40-millimeter Apple Watch 6 with GPS. It will not be available until later this fall, despite the fact that it was announced alongside the iPhone 13 series. Apple has yet to announce an official release date.

As of August 27, 2021, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will be available. The 40mm Bluetooth model costs $249.99, while the 40mm LTE model costs $299.99. The 42mm Bluetooth model starts at $349.99 and the 42mm LTE model starts at $399.99 for the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic with upgraded materials.

Here are few points to be compared about-

  • Design

    The Apple Watch didn't get the sweeping flat-edged redesign that had been predicted in recent months – in fact, the Series 7 is curvier than prior Apple Watch models.The Apple Watch 7 display, on the other hand, is perhaps the most significant update. Apple hasn't altered the display boundaries of the Apple Watch in years. The Apple Watch 7's display, on the other hand, is up to 20% larger than the Apple Watch 6. Even though the chassis size hasn't changed, the Apple Watch looks a lot bigger with a small 1.7mm bezel. It certainly appears to make greater use of screen real space than the Galaxy Watch 4.


    There are two design possibilities for the Galaxy Watch 4. First, there's the sporty-looking Galaxy Watch 4, which serves as the company's flagship and a successor to the Galaxy Watch Active 2. Second, there's the 'Classic' version, which keeps the sumptuous features of last year's Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. The Classic edition resembles a classic watch and provides an excellent blend of design and functionality, with a tactile rotating bezel that can be used to browse menus.

  • New Features and Software
    When compared to the Apple Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch 4 has a few additional unique features. Body composition analysis using BIA is one of them, as is improved sleep tracking with more frequent nighttime blood oxygen readings.
    Additional software updates will be available for both smartwatches. The Apple Watch 7 will come pre-loaded with watchOS 8, which includes new messaging features, multiple timers, and a Mindfulness app. However, one piece of software that appears to be exclusive to the Apple Watch 7 is something we've been wanting for a while. The Series 7 features a complete keyboard for typing messages, taking advantage of the larger screen.


  • Battery Life
    With the always-on display and frequent activity tracking, the Galaxy Watch 3 lasted little over a day in our tests. The Galaxy Watch 4 appears to last approximately the same amount of time.The Apple Watch 7, like the Apple Watch Series 6 and Series 5, offers an 18-hour battery life. This is an area where we would have liked to see some improvement.
    In any case, we'll have to put Apple's battery life estimate to the test to see how long it lasts versus the Galaxy Watch 4. Both smartwatches appear to have decided on a daily charge. For typing messages, the Series 7 gets a complete keyboard.
  • Outlook
    This Apple Watch 7 vs. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 battle could have a clear winner in a few weeks. For iPhone users, the Apple Watch is usually the best option, while for Android users, the Galaxy Watch 4 is the best option. However, now that Samsung has partnered with Google, it may be able to tap into Fitbit's fan base as well.

    To find out whether Samsung's new software is all it's made up to be, and whether Apple has done enough this time to preserve its lead, we'll have to see both of these smartwatches in action.
