we're here at the unpacked event where something just now three know where those parts line up one SmartWatch called the Galaxy watch active which I'm wearing right now the Galaxy fit which is a fitness van and the Galaxy buds which are the use of earbuds that are completely wireless so I'm going to go through each one of them to tell you what's new this is the new Samsung Galaxy watch active this one is the rose gold option it is aluminum instead of stainless steel as previous models and as you can see it's missing that signature bezel that we had come to almost expect in the galaxy watches before it it's still pretty easy to navigate but I do miss that clicking rotating bezel which was just kind of really satisfying to to control the watch with it does seem to have a smaller watch face than its predecessors but I personally don't mind it if I put it on the side over here you will notice that it is pretty thick compared to other watches but not any thicker than previous Galaxy watches it still has those two physical buttons on the side and on the back over here you'll notice it has that optical heart rate sensor that the galaxy watches have had for a while now and these interchangeable watch strap these are 20 millimeters which is slightly smaller than the Galaxy watch ones so they won't be compatible or backwards compatible if you already have galaxy watch bands that you'd like to try this one with the key feature over here other than all the different Fitness features that we found on the Galaxy watch is the blood pressure monitoring it's gonna launch first in beta later on in March obviously they didn't even mention it at the keynote so I have the feeling that it's not active at least on this demo watch so the galaxy watch active actually comes in four different colors with silver that you're seeing here on screen the rose gold which you also saw as seeing green and a black so I want to show you I am actually wearing the galaxy watch on my wrist right now I think I'm going to take it off and kind of show you the differences run you through some of the differences as you can see it does look similar but is it is a stripped down version of it it doesn't have that rotating bezel over here and it is quite a bit smaller considering how thick these bezels are on the actual screen itself it looks the display looks smaller than on the Galaxy watch it is thinner than the Galaxy watch and it is quite a bit lighter as well it feels lighter on my hands and I have the feeling that for fitness it would be much more comfortable to wear on the wrist I'm going to put on the Galaxy watch just to kind of feel it out and I can already tell you it does feel a lot more comfortable than the Galaxy watch I'm not sure if which one I prefer at this point in terms of looks but in terms of the fit this one's more comfortable for sure but the coolest feature in my eyes that's available right now is the ability to wirelessly charge it using your Galaxy S 10 device so what you do is you turn on the wireless power share on the device you turn it over and then you just place the watch and throw it on the back of the phone and there you have it wouldn't go ahead and try on the Galaxy buds and already they feel pretty comfortable in my ear I do a lot of running with my ear buds so it's having them stay in place is important and it really does feel like they would hold up during during Iran outdoors or on the treadmill they seem pretty secure moving around yeah doesn't seem to be a problem I don't know about the sound quality because there there is a lot of noise in this room and as I'm tapping over here on the side it's playing and pausing the music in the ear so it does have some kind of controls manual controls that you can do from the earbuds themselves from the samson fibers and then you could just take them off and they can charge on the case they do feel a lot lighter than the icon X I can say that much and the case is really sleek and slim and you can use your phone to charge the case as well if you need an extra charge on the go you just have to activate the power share like what you did with the Galaxy watch and then place the device on the back of the phone to wirelessly charge them sadly no galaxy fit at least here in the demo room today but I can't tell you that it is a Fitness band with a lot of the same Fitness features as the Galaxy watch active so that automatic workout detection that heartrate monitor but it is a lot slimmer and it's kind of more of a cuff it's kind of like the previous Fitness fans from Samsung before it it is going to have rubber bands and slimmer screen than the watches south of course and less actual smart functionalities because it's not running that full Tizen SmartWatch operating system so just to kind of wrap things up over here we have the Galaxy watch active which is kind of a sporty tape on the Galaxy watch it now includes that blood pressure monitoring which is new to a wearable device from Samsung but we won't actually see that in action until later on in March and it's only coming in beta at first and then we have the Galaxy buds these wireless earbuds that are charging in the case and that compares seamlessly with other Samsung devices now the Galaxy watch is going to cost $200 which is significantly less then the Galaxy watch was at launch and it's very much in line with other fitness devices like the Fitbit but a lot cheaper than others like the Apple watch whereas the galaxy buzz are going to cost a hundred and thirty dollars to put that in perspective they're actually about twenty to thirty dollars cheaper than Apple's air pods with a lot of the same functionality and then the Galaxy fit that's not coming until later in second quarter of 2019 and that one will be around $99 and that's it for today but you can check back for all the different Samsung products announced at the unpacked event on Sina com
