The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is likely to be released on August 27, as Amazon Canada has listed the unannounced smartwatch for pre-order on its website
We expect the next Samsung smartwatch to be revealed at the summer Unpacked event, rumored to be held on August 11 Although this list has since been removed, it lends credence to these rumors It has also been revealed that the Galaxy Watch 4 will be priced at $346, at least in Canada
According to the Amazon listing shared below, the Galaxy Watch 4 will indeed have the design teased in the unofficial renderings It appears to have a rounded face with two rounded rectangular buttons on the right side of the body and what appears to be a silicone strap
Design-wise, the Galaxy Watch 4 is an evolution of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3, placing second on our best smartwatches list behind the unyielding Apple Watch Series 6 This model appears to lack a physical rotating bezel - a fan favorite feature that we are sad to see Samsung retire
That said, this smartwatch may be an evolution of Samsung's Galaxy Watch Active 2 The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 4 is rumored to be released alongside the Classic version, but the Galaxy Watch 4 may be just one next-generation wearable
Furthermore, the $34682 is an odd price, which translates to about $277 in US dollars This is an appropriate price point for the Galaxy Watch Active model or a slimmed-down version for comfort during a workout The bulkier Galaxy Watch Watch 3, which made a fashion statement with the aforementioned bezel and elevated design details, started at $399
Where the Galaxy Watch 4 seems to shine is under its casing The Amazon listing seems to confirm rumors that Samsung's smartwatch will feature "body composition analysis"
We are interested to see which metrics this Galaxy Watch can measure from the wrist If it works like some of the best smart scales, it may be able to read body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, and muscle mass
The Galaxy Watch 4 also has the standard features of top smartwatches: advanced sleep tracking, VO2 Max tracking, and blood oxygen and heart rate monitoring Other specs include GPS, Bluetooth, near field communication, and Wi-Fi connectivity, all of which are fairly standard for a $300+ smartwatch
If Amazon's listing is accurate, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 is a feature-packed smartwatch and a solid successor to the Galaxy Watch 3 Whether it can compete with the Apple Watch remains to be seen Incidentally, we have not heard that the Apple Watch 7 will include a body composition analysis feature
More will be revealed at the next Unpacked event, where Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are also expected to be unveiled
