Samsung Electronics Australia has once again been recognised for its excellence in customer satisfaction, winning the Most Satisfied Customers award for Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers by Canstar Blue, Australia’s most trusted consumer comparison website, for the Samsung Galaxy Watch range. This award comes off the back of two other recent Canstar Blue wins for products in Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division, Most Satisfied Customers for Smartphones and Most Satisfied Customers for Tablets.

Canstar Blue surveyed Australians who had purchased a smartwatch or fitness tracker in the last 3 years to find out which brands provided the best experience[1]. Samsung received top marks and was the only brand surveyed to achieve a perfect rating of five out of five stars, across all categories – design, battery & charging performance, value for money, durability, and user friendliness.

Kylie Mason, Head of Wearables and Accessories at Samsung Electronics Australia said, “We are thrilled to receive this recognition from Canstar Blue and our customers. We understand that consumers today expect a lot of their smartwatches and we’re always innovating to meet and exceed to these expectations. Whether it’s the introduction of new ways to understand your health, improve your sleep and wellness, or much-loved design features like our rotating bezel, our focus is always on enhancing user experience.”

Commenting on the win, Tara Donnelly, Canstar Blue’s Utilities Editor said, “Canstar Blue’s customer satisfaction research in the Smartwatches & Fitness trackers category found that buyers consider Samsung’s signature Galaxy Watch range to be a great mix of style and functionality.

The Galaxy Watch series, offers advanced health tracking that rivals more fitness-focused brands, along with convenient communications and safety features. The range is also competitively priced when compared to other high-end wearables, so it’s no surprise that Aussies rate Samsung number one for smartwatch value.”

Recognising the consumer benefit of wearables to build healthier habits, stay up-to-date on notifications, and understand their wellbeing better, Samsung took its first steps into the smartwatch world over 10 years ago. Innovating on each iteration, its most recent releases, Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic, pack a wealth holistic health offerings and powerful performance in a refined and sleek design. Created to help consumers more easily reach their wellness goals through features like personalised sleep and fitness coaching, the series solidifies the real consumer benefit offered by Samsung smartwatches.

The Canstar Blue Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers Most Satisfied Customers win comes soon after Samsung was also awarded Canstar Blue’s 2024 Most Satisfied Customers Award for Smartphones, announced the day before Galaxy Unpacked 2024 in January. A key moment for the company, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 series which comes equipped with its ground breaking Galaxy AI[2] features. Marking a new era for smartphones, AI enriches nearly every experience on the Galaxy S24 series by enabling barrier-free communication, unlocking creativity with its ProVisual Engine, and setting a new standard for search.

Looking to the future, Samsung is excited to bring a new wearable health form factor to Australians with the Galaxy Ring. Set to simplify everyday wellness and support smarter and healthier living, the Galaxy Ring will provide greater options for users seeking to better understand their health and wellbeing.

“We have seen an incredible amount of growth for the Galaxy Watch series as consumers have discovered the health benefits and convenience of wearables,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “We understand the path to wellness is different for everyone, so we built a robust suite of health and wellness features to give people a deeper and more helpful understanding of their overall fitness.”

Samsung’s Most Advanced Suite of Health and Wellness Features

Galaxy Watch4 is equipped with Samsung’s amazing BioActive Sensor, which boasts a smaller and more compact design that doesn’t detract from measurement accuracy. This new 3-in-1 sensor uses a single chip to precisely run three powerful health sensors — Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis — so users can monitor their heart rate, blood oxygen level, and, for the first time, calculate their body composition[1]. Our all-new Body Composition measurement tool gives users a deeper understanding of their general health and fitness, with key measurements like skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage. Now, you can check your body composition from your wrist with just two fingers. In about 15 seconds, your watch’s sensor can capture up to 2,400 data points.

These smartwatches come packed with an array of wellness features to track your daily activities and stay motivated to be your best. Choose from a wide range of guided workouts, enjoy Group Challenges with your friends and family, or set up a home gym, then track your calorie count and heartrate metrics. And when you’re ready to rest, the Galaxy Watch4 Series offers our most complete picture of your sleep patternswith greater detail than before[2]. Your compatible smartphone detects the sounds of your snores[3], while your smartwatch measures your blood oxygen level when you sleep⁴ Together with Sleep Scores, you can learn more about you sleep patterns to get better rest.

The Ultimate Samsung Mobile Experience, with One UI Watch and Wear OS Powered by Samsung

Simplicity, ease, and efficiency are hallmarks of the Galaxy smartwatch platform—and with Samsung’s brand-new One UI Watch, and Wear OS Powered by Samsung, we’ve made the Samsung smartwatch and Galaxy experience even more seamless. With One UI Watch, compatible apps can be automatically installed on your watch when downloaded on your phone[4], and your important settings – like do not disturb hours and blocked callers – are synced. Auto Switch[5] ensures Galaxy Buds can toggle audio between your phone and watch, depending on usage. You can also effortlessly control your mobile experience with Bixby voice, bezel and Gesture Controls. Move your forearm up and down twice to receive calls and rotate your wrist twice to reject them — or to dismiss notifications and alarms.

Galaxy Watch4 series is also the first generation of smartwatches to feature Wear OS Powered by Samsung —a new platform that elevates every aspect of the smartwatch experience. Built by Samsung and Google, this cutting-edge platform lets you tap into an expansive ecosystem right from your wrist – with popular Google apps[6] like Google Maps, and beloved Galaxy services11, like Samsung Pay, SmartThings and Bixby. The new platform also includes support for leading third-party apps12, like adidas Running, Calm, Strava, and Spotify available from Google Play. Along with our advanced hardware and even more intuitive user interface, you can enjoy smooth and convenient integrated experiences with your Galaxy Watch4. For example, our enhanced built-in compass works in tandem with Google Maps to make it easy to explore a new area.

Bringing Powerful Performance Directly to Your Wrist 

This incredible experience is backed by serious hardware upgrades including the improved processor, richer displays, and expanded memory. Galaxy Watch4 Series boasts the first 5nm processor in a Galaxy Watch – with 20 per cent faster CPU and 50 per cent more RAM, and a GPU 10 times faster than the previous generation. That means scrolling and multitasking on Galaxy Watch4 Series is smooth and effortless. We also upped the resolution on the display, up to 450 x 450 pixels[7], so visuals are crisp and distinctive. And with an impressive 16GB of memory, you’ll have enough storage to download and store your favorite apps, music, and photos – with the confidence they can be secure, thanks to Samsung’s Knox security platform.

Samsung’ leadership in eSIM technology[8] enables users to enjoy the freedom of being able to leave their phone behind, knowing their smartwatch can automatically sync up and fill the gap. We also know a reliable battery is essential to smartwatch. You can have up to 40 hours[9] of battery life, more than enough to keep a charge on an overnight camping trip – even as it supports the faster processor, higher resolution display, expanded memory and more sophisticated health features. And when you need more juice quickly, 30 minutes of charging provides up to 10 hours of battery.

Pricing and Availability[10]

Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic will be available to purchase in Australia from September 10, 2021. Both watches showcase a sleek, iconic silhouette, with thinner cases than previous generations—and a variety of straps[11] and customisable watch faces, so your watch is uniquely you.
