Best Apps For Galaxy Watch 4
Weather 14 Days – Meteored
Free: Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
We love a weather app and this is a good one to grab for the Galaxy Watch 4. The Wear OS version has been given a bit of a revamp, giving you weekly and hourly forecasts and additional data like UV index and visibility to keep you safe if you’re heading out in your car.
Spotify: Music and Podcasts
Free, Google Play
Spotify
When Google first announced Wear OS 3, Spotify was among the first apps being rebuilt for the new platform. Like the Samsung Tizen version, it still gets you offline playlist support (with a Premium subscription), the ability to control where the music is streamed from and ‘like’ songs by tapping that heart icon. There’s a dedicated screen to download playlists and there’s also Tile support, which means you can add a dedicated screen to quickly access and start playing something.
YouTube Music
Subscription required, Google Play
YouTube Music
If you don’t fancy Spotify, there’s you can opt for YouTube Music as your go-to music streaming service. Like Spotify, you’ll need to have a YouTube premium subscription to make use of the app, which lets you download music when offline. YouTube has also added a smart download feature, which will download 50-500 songs over Wi-Fi when your watch is on charge.
To-Do List – Schedule Planner & To Do Reminders
Free: Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
Some of the best apps are the simplest ones and To-Do List goes about its business in a really effective way giving you an interface that’s easy to see what you need to do and then let you mark them when those tasks are done. You can also stick lists into folders to make sure you’re dealing with the important stuff that needs to get done first.
Strava
Free, Google Play
Strava
This is another app that’s been rebuilt for Wear OS 3. Strava doesn’t need any huge explanation. It’s a place to track your workouts if you don’t think Samsung’s workout app doesn’t do a good enough job of it. You can track runs, rides, walks, hikes and even E-bike rides with the ability to turn on audio cues and enable/disable auto pause modes for running and cycling. It’s simple to use and pushes tracked sessions to the main Strava app ready to soak up all of that Kudos.
Calm
Free (subscription required for full access), Google Play
Calm
The app for helping you sleep and giving you somewhere to get that meditation fix, Calm offers a a range of classes to help you destress or find some sounds to help you quickly snooze off at night. The new Wear OS app now supports third party Tiles, which means you can now add a widget giving you quick access to short guided breathing exercises to get you back to a calmer state again.
Komoot
Free (subscription required for full access), Google Play
Komoot
The mapping platform for hikers, walkers, runners and anyone that likes spending time out on the great outdoors has updated its Wear OS app to be a better fit for Google’s new OS. There’s now two third party Tile options with the first letting you quickly track workouts and the second offering a place to see Tours, which are recommended places to visit and explore near your current location.
Walk with Map My Walk
Free: Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
Just because the Galaxy Watch 4 can track runs, swims, HIIT workouts and a whole lot more doesn’t mean it can be handy if you like to slow things down and monitor your walk time. The Walk with Map My Walk app offers training plans and workout plans and offers real-time updates as you get moving. It’s a strong alternative to Samsung’s own tracking apps if they don’t quite do it for you.
Walkie-Talkie
Free, Google Play
Walkie-Talkie
Yes, Apple already did this one too, and now if you’ve got a Galaxy Watch 4-owning friend, you can use the Samsung smartwatch as a way to have instant chats via the onboard microphone. It can search your contacts for people to chat with and enabling permission to your location will help you search for friends to get talking with over Bluetooth.
Outdooractive
Free, Google Play
Outdooractive
Like Komoot, Outdooractive is another useful app that lets you download hiking, cycling OS maps that can you can store offline when you venture into locations where getting good phone signal is going to be an issue. It can make use of Samsung’s PPG heart rate monitor to track heart rate and lets you view details like coordinates and elevation data. The third party Tile support also means you can swipe to see a handful of recommended routes to check out near to your current location.
Citymapper: All Your Transport
Free: Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
We are probably not alone in saying that Citymapper is one of our favourite apps to get around and the app for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 is well built for the Wear OS 3-running smartwatch. Once you’ve assigned a city in the phone app, you can choose to let it get you home or work, giving you step-by-step instructions on trains, buses and other modes of transports to catch to get you where you need to go. Good travel smartwatch apps need to be easy to use and this is definitely one of them.
adidas Running
Free (In-app purchases available), Google Play
adidas Running
The adidas Running app has been knocking around on the Google Play Store for Wear OS watches for a while and with Wear OS 3 it’s been given a bit of a revamp. You can view your most recent tracked workouts, log activities beyond running too. You can use the Galaxy Watch 4’s heart rate monitor to track effort levels and choose whether to keep auto pause on and off if you don’t want to capture those traffic light stops as part of your overall workout time.
Swim.com
Free, Google Play
Swim.com
This is one of the best swimming apps for Wear OS smartwatches and it’s been rebuilt for Wear OS 3. Once you’re all signed up, you can track swims including metrics like distance tracked, heart rate and it can detect stroke type too. There’s also two third party Tile options letting you see weekly swim progress and details of your most recent swim.
Lifesum
Free, Google Play
Lifesum
There aren’t great ways to track your nutrition through Samsung’s own apps and LifeSum is one of the simplest calorie counting options to grab from the Google Play Store. Aside from a being a very simple app to use, it offers dedicated screens to keep track exercise minutes, calories you have left for the day and keeping track of your water intake over your day.
Facer Watch Faces
Free, Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
If you’re the owner of a shiny new Galaxy Watch 4 then you need Facer. The app enables you to add and customise watch faces to the Galaxy Watch, vastly expanding the stock options on the standard experience. Not only can you choose from the massive library but also build your own.

The best Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatch faces for Wear OS
Three Samsung Galaxy Watch 4s rest on a leather surface displaying custom faces.
In 2021, Samsung left behind its familiar Tizen operating system for a Wear OS co-developed with Google. If your device is one of the select Samsung Galaxy smartwatches running this platform, check out our picks for the best watch faces available below.
Modern Minimalist: The best simple Wear OS Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
A Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 on a leather surface displays the watch face Modern Minimalist.
With an emphasis on the “watch” half of the smartwatch, Modern Minimalist delivers a clean, classic clock face. This option is best for users looking to subdue the sportiness of their device. You can even customize the face’s accent color to match your case or band. Modern Minimalist features room for two complications, although the top spot is limited to step count or battery life. The complication at three o’clock can be a shortcut to a variety of features, and the icons of many options will also adopt the accent color for subtlety.
Info Brick: The most informative Wear OS Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
A Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 on a leather surface displays the watch face Info Brick.
Info Brick is the face for anyone who wants their stats at a glance. With room for three complications, this face allows extra space for either tracking steps or daily activity. The daily activity option (shown above) displays users’ step count, active minutes, and activity calories. The steps option shows a weekly view of users’ steps with days marked if their step goals were reached. The additional two complications on this face can be changed to anything from weather to a media controller, and the color of the face is also, of course, customizable.
Active: The best health-focused Wear OS Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
The option titled Active includes oversized numerals and a shortcut for users to start a workout.
Basic but still one of the best, the Active watch face features a design that stands out. Oversized numerals in a funky font leave room for just one complication. As the name suggests, this watch face is for users who want their workout a tap away. Users can either set an exercise or choose a Samsung Health Breath, Daily Activity, or Together icons as their single complication. If you opt for an exercise, the animated athlete icon will act out your activity. (If only hiking with a heavy pack were as graceful as he makes it look.) This watch face is also available to devices running Tizen.
Cute Character: The best animated option
Price: Free
A Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 on a leather surface displays the watch face Cute Character.
Starting with the disclaimer that this option is solely fun with minimal function, the Cute Character watch face is one of our favorites. It’s a very simple design with a lively cartoon fruit or vegetable replacing the three on a standard clock face. We’re partial to the carrot guy. He occasionally jumps back into the ground and then peeks out coyly, which is nothing short of adorable. Plus, there has to be some sort of subliminal message to eat healthy behind it, and who doesn’t need that reminder? Customizations include three options for the font of the numerals and your choice of produce icon.
Facer: The best Wear OS watch face for personalization
Price: Free with in-app purchases
Facer is one of the most popular apps for custom watch faces on Wear OS. On Facer, you can choose from thousands of premade options or create a Wear OS watch face of your own. Some of Samsung’s stock Galaxy Watch 4 watch faces aren’t the most customizable, so Facer is a good option if you’re looking to tweak your watch face to your liking.
If you choose to download one of the available watch faces, you’ll be browsing a selection of over 15,000 watch faces. These include everything from top film and television brands to retro call-backs, as well as original looks by partnered designers. Downloading the Facer app is free, as are some of the available faces. Others will require an in-app purchase.
Venom: A feature-packed option from the Google Play Store
Price: Free with in-app purchases
A Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 rests on a leather surface displaying the watch face Venom by Thema.
In addition to the preloaded watch faces available, users can shop for endless options on the Google Play Store. This face by Thema offers tons of functionality while still feeling neat and refined. Venom is also highly customizable. With the free version, you can choose the font color as well as a main and secondary color for the background’s watercolor effect. You can also change the face’s the units of measurement. Paying for premium will let you select widgets, shortcuts, and more.

The best Samsung Galaxy Watch faces for Tizen
samsung galaxy watch active 2 review watch face clock face 1
If you’re wearing one of Samsung’s smartwatches running on Tizen, there are plenty of watch faces to choose from for your device as well. Browse some of our top picks for fitness, health, and style.
Digital Neon: The best easy-to-read Tizen Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
A Galaxy Watch Active 2 screenshot of the Tizen watch face Digital Neon.
Simple and highly customizable, Digital Neon offers a straightforward look at the basics. This Samsung Galaxy Watch face is primarily filled with a digital clock but also features three small icons. These complications can be set to one of 28 different functions depending on users’ needs. You can also choose from a variety of neon colors for the monochromatic look.
Simple Analog: The best traditional Tizen Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
The Tizen watch face Simple Analog is a straightforward clock face with one customizable complication.
Another really basic watch face with loads of customization options, this is the face for Analog lovers. Users can choose from a light or dark background to establish the desired mood for their device. Additionally, you can increase the size of the design itself by up to five times. Finally, the right-hand complication (a heart rate icon in the image above) can be changed to any of 23 features.
Fresh: The best fitness-focused Tizen Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
A screenshot of the fitness-focused Tizen watch face Fresh.
A cool look for watch-wearing fitness buffs, this is the pick for users who don’t want to overload their watch face with visuals. Instead, Fresh replaces cornerstone clock numerals with basic fitness stats like steps and calories burned so you can check in on your stats every time you check the time. We also like the slightly three-dimensional look of the differently toned quadrants. The one drawback is that this face can’t be customized, so it may or may not match the band on your Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatch.
Live Wallpaper: The best-looking Tizen Samsung Galaxy Watch face
Price: Free
Live Wallpaper offers users three calming design options, each of which are animated.
For a watch face that’s on the move as much as you are, Live Wallpaper offers less static backgrounds for your Samsung device. The effect of this option is mesmerizing in the same way as old-school screensavers. Plus, it’s somehow comfortably calm and simplistic even with the movement. The image above shows just one of three looks for the Live wallpaper feature. While these faces are not hugely customizable, they’re very cool without any changes.
Breathe: The best Tizen option face for mindfulness
Price: Free
A screenshot of the Tizen watch face Breathe displays the animated background users can follow to center their breathing.
For an even more dedicated calming background, the Breathe watch face features a slowly pulsing graphic that users can match up with their breath. This is the perfect tool to keep on hand for on-the-go stress relief. For more direct breath work, users can even tap the watch face to start the watches’ breathing feature properly. And because nothing is more jarring than a heinous color scheme, you can customize the dial, hands, and pulse color of the design to a look that feels good too.
Pixel Heart: The best Tizen option for heart rate tracking
Price: Free
A screenshot of the Tizen watch face Pixel Heart.
A bright red, pixelated heart marks a watch face focusing on just what you would expect, heart rate data. In addition to the time, the face displays your current heart rate whenever you wear the device. For users concerned about their cardio performance, or for those just trying to keep their heart rate top of mind, it’s a very in-your-face way to do so. Unfortunately, this watch face offers no customization. But if tracking your heart rate is a priority, it’s still a solid choice.
FAQs
