#Samsung Galaxy Watch hands-on

Samsung recently launched their newest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch, along with the Galaxy Note9, during the Unpacked event in New York. The Samsung Galaxy Watch is in a way the successor of the Samsung Gear S3 due to its similar design and structure, sans the "Gear" name. Aside from the touch screen, the Galaxy Watch also features a rotating bezel just like the previous Gear smartwatches. On the wrist, the Galaxy Watch feels like any other digital watch or smartwatch that we've handled before. The Galaxy Watch is powered by an Exynos 9110 Dual-Core processor with 1.5GB RAM (LTE variant) or 768MB RAM (Bluetooth variant) and 4GB internal storage. The Galaxy Watch carries a 472mAh battery for the 46mm variant while a 270mAh battery is equipped in the 42mm. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Watch proves to be very useful especially for users who are health-conscious thanks to its fitness tracker (calories burnt, heart rate, distance, speed and pace, exercise time). Samsung announced that a joint study with Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital in Korea found that the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 can predict vasovagal syncope (VVS) or sudden fainting episodes using health data collected by the smartwatch.
