I love the new gesture added recently to open an app. I use it to open the Google clock's handwashing timer since it starts the timer as soon as the app opens and I can just do the gesture and not touch the watch with dirty hands. Also the app just closes on its own after its done. I found the Samsung handwashing app doesn't auto detect my handwashing well at work since there's automatic sinks there and they turn off too quickly for the app to detect.

I love customizing my watchfaces. I didn't realize you could set the snore feature from the watch, thanks for that. I don't like having my phone by the bed so this will be great. I'm also glad you mentioned the phone disconnect if you leave your phone...that's terrific. There are so many things I love about this watch. It's just as fun thing to have❤️

You mentioned being able to customize the top button long press with the two options being Bixby or the power off menu. It would be relevant to mention that long pressing both buttons simultaneously opens the power off menu by default.

What about it's being water resistant or water proof. Is it safe to take swimming in the ocean or pool or shower?
quick story on how important phone disconnect was for me... I went on holiday abroad and in a bag was all my holiday money, credit cards, passport and phone, I got out of a taxi at a hotel, offloaded all my bags (so I thought) and walked off... as I got into the hotel lobby my watch vibrated and told me I was not near my phone! this could have been a really valuable lesson to learn if I had not had the phone disconnect feature on!
I work at an environment where I can listen to music on my earbuds but cannot look at the phone. This watch is a dream come to as it allows me to change/skip/search songs when I was playing in KZread music.

One thing I would recommend is enabling Developers Options... It's really handy and you can further control how the watch behaves, like animation speed and transitions to make it feel more snappy (fast) or smoother, vibrations settings and its behaviour when charging, Wifi, BT and other advanced features to make your watch suit your needs further or make it more efficient....

Changing the disconnection notification to an "alert" really helped me when I forget my phone somewhere. I use my watch daily and it lasts just over a day and a half. Awesome watch
I dont think Bixby gets enough credit. I use it for 1) take a photo (when Hands are in use like holding the object-my cat), 2)take a selfie 3) change the screen time to 10 minutes when I working on a recipe 4) send a text message to someone 5) It also makes reservations. These are things the google assistant doesnt do. Maybe I'm the only one that uses it?

A good thing to do is to link Theatre Mode with Bixby Routines so that when you turn it on, it turns on Do Not Disturb on your phone. Not sure why it doesn't do this natively, like Bedtime Mode, but it's still a neat thing to do.

I LOVE phone disconnection alerts! It was automatically enabled and I left my phone in the store the other day, got to the parking lot and got the disconnection alert! Phew! My phone is also my car key, so if I walk away from the car and my wrists buzzes, I know to run back and get my phone! Love it.
I love the find my phone feature. I forget where I put it down when I don't have a pocket. I assigned it to the home button. Sooo handy

@@tarekekram8441 Since I updated the Samsung Health app to the newest version, the battery of my phone has been depleting a bit faster because of it being almost constantly awake. It started to irk me, and I didn't want to spend time searching for an answer about how to downgrade the app, so I decided to force stop Samsung Health and open it only when I really need it. It didn't fully solve the issue as the app loads itself up every time it senses that the phone has been moved or the watch has started monitoring my sleep, but at least it doesn't make such a dent in the phone's battery life. What I'm trying to say in this somewhat convoluted manner is that the most recent iteration of Samsung Health doesn't work as advertised. However, I'm hopeful that Samsung are going to address the problem in light of Galaxy Watch 5 making its debut and consumers reporting their first pet peeves with the product.

If you download the Google assistant you can have that set for your key instead of Bixby. I personally use my double press for my music app.
Hello Mike. I came across your videos which I find to be the best which is why I liked, subscribed, and shared them. I don't wear watches because I don't like the feel of watches, but with a new job in the Cardiovascular unit of the hospital, I find that I need to purchase my first smartwatch - primarily for voice reminders for frequent blood transfusion reminders for example. I didn't hear you speak of voice reminders; however, after watching many of your videos, I assume this feature is readily available on all Samsung models(?) Maybe the smaller watch is better because it would be easier to clean/sanitize bodily fluids? What is your recommendation for hospital use, the regular or the classic Samsung device (money is not a determining factor)?
Very informative, thanks for the tutorial.
