    Best Present Ever!!!! (As said by my boyfriend!!)

    This watch is surpassed my expectations. I had gotten this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift - he recently switched back to the galaxy family (as an iPhone/Apple Watch user I was worried about this watch). After watching him set it up and use it daily- I am confident with saying this is by far one of the most incredible watches I have ever seen. The watch band it came with is super classy but can be worn in all settings. There are so many incredible options when customizing and making the watch yours. My boyfriend has mentioned that his watch and phone connection is so smooth. He loves it and is so happy to have it! Last note: he loves the ability to find his phone when he loses it! This watch is an absolute game changer. :)

    Amazing Smartwatch — Totally Worth It!

    I’ve been using this smartwatch for a while now, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The battery life is excellent — easily lasts a couple of days with heavy use. The display is bright and sharp, and it’s easy to read even in direct sunlight. Health and fitness tracking are very accurate. I compared the heart rate and steps with gym equipment, and the numbers matched perfectly. Notifications come through instantly, and it’s super convenient to take calls and read messages right on the watch. The watch feels premium on the wrist and is comfortable to wear all day. For workouts, it’s absolutely perfect. Overall, a fantastic smartwatch. Stylish, reliable, and packed with features. Highly recommend!

    First smart watch.

    Pros: Great watch design if you like the old school James Bond/Pierce Brosnan style Omega Seamaster watches. Battery life is great at times. Feels more comfortable if you change to a steel metal strap band Fare price if you can find one under $250 Most Exercise sessions should work without an Samsung phone, along with a very basic sleep monitor scoring. Cons: I Don’t see this being worth it at full price. I would’ve most likely returned it at full price. Most app don’t work without a Samsung/some android phones, like sleep monitoring, health antioxidant index, period tracking, and music. Default strap is uncomfortable. Does not work with all android phones Does not work with iPhones at all, until the Samsung smart wear is added back into the iOS store. Battery life is not consistently good. My first smart watch. I love the classic design with the steel band strap. The default band strap felt uncomfortable, switching it felt way better. It Doesn’t seem to be worth 500$, but I got an open box for 230$ in excellent condition. Battery life is a hit or miss. I’ll go through the day with only 70% left from 100%, other days it gets below 5% from 100%. I have an iPhone and old 2019 android, watch doesn’t work with both. I kept being told this watch works with all androids, but that’s not true or it doesn’t work with OnePlus phones, my phone pairs with the watch but the app is not seeing my phone. You specifically need a Samsung, to use all features. You can still activate and use the watch without a Samsung nor a phone by pressing the logo a few times.
