Samsung Galaxy Watch review: A worthy Apple Watch alternative
The first thing you'll have to decide If you're interested in the Samsung Galaxy Watch is what size to get. Having a small wrist, I initially thought I'd be a candidate for the smaller 42mm model, which comes in midnight black or rose gold and starts at $330 (£279) for the noncellular editions, with LTE models costing $50 more. But after trying on the silver-only 46mm version ($350, £299), I quickly realized I'd made a mistake, and opted for the larger model. While it's a little heavier, it fit my wrist comfortably and has some clear benefits: Not only is its screen bigger but it has better battery life.

The new Samsung Galaxy Watch was unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note 9 back on August 9, and -- like the Note -- is available for sale as of today. We've only had the Watch for a bit more than 2 days, so we're not ready to render a final verdict yet.
