    Big and bulky for what it does. Looks cool but pretty big and pricy

    Decent watch. Touchscreen would be better vs scrolling thru options with side buttons.. but effective if you need a good fit watch.

    Love this watch. I've had this watch for a year now and before that I had the Garmin Vivoactive HR, which I always had to purchase screen protectors to keep from scratching the display. With this watch I don't have to worry about that at all. Very rugged and easy to see and use display. I really like the fact that there are physical buttons instead of the touch screen. They have now released the solar version which I wish existed when I purchased this one. But overall no regrets on this purchase and love the look and feel of the watch.

    My wife has a fitbit and I've used a galexy watch for a long time. I got sick of the crappy battery on my galexy watch so I bought this one. I really like it, I only charge it once a week, but it could probably last longer. My other watch could barely last 2 days. The call quality is good, text messages read fine and the size is good. Only complaint is when I'm working it will randomly tell me im on a boat? I don't understand why and its weird. but other than having to hit the back button every so often it works just as i wanted.
