32 GB of storage is enough to keep music and apps on the watch for phone-free runs.

The watch charges only wirelessly; it must align with Samsung’s charging puck, and some wireless chargers may not sit flat because of the band.

Samsung says the battery is 60% larger than the Galaxy Watch4’s.

The electrical heart signal enables ECG and bioelectrical impedance enables body composition readings. ECG and blood pressure need a Samsung phone and country approval.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis estimates values such as body fat and skeletal muscle; results are not for medical diagnosis.

Antioxidant Index is measured by holding a fingertip on the sensor for about five seconds; Vascular Load needs the watch to be worn to sleep on at least 3 of the last 14 days. These are wellness indicators, not medical diagnoses.

The L5 band helps reduce route drift caused by reflections among tall buildings and trees.

On the Bluetooth model calls and notifications work while connected to the phone; NFC contactless payments depend on country and bank.

It cannot be used with an iPhone.

The D-Buckle band uses a folding clasp so the strap sits at the same point every time, in place of a standard pin buckle.

Wear OS 3 and later do not work with iPhone. Blood pressure and ECG work only in markets supported by Samsung Health Monitor and with Galaxy phones.

Track Back follows the recorded path in reverse to help you return to the start.
