Summary
Four Galaxy Watch features stood out after the author returned from a roughly two-year hiatus, led by Samsung’s double-pinch gesture for hands-free actions like pausing media and replying to texts by voice.
One setting in the Galaxy Wearable app can silence a phone automatically when the watch is worn, solving the problem of missed alerts when switching between wearing and not wearing the device.
Galaxy Watch integration goes further with Samsung phones: Modes and Routines can swap watch faces for activities such as biking or relaxing, and Do Not Disturb syncs automatically with the phone.
That tighter mode syncing remains a key limitation for Galaxy Watch users on non-Samsung phones, underscoring how much of the watch’s best experience depends on Samsung’s broader ecosystem.
