    Battery does not last as advertised

    Battery does not last as advertised. I returned it twice and got a Galaxy instead. My old Vivoactive battery lasted twice as long. The Screen is far better looking but if you have to charge it every 2 days you may as well get a regular smartwatch.

    Nothing bad with Samsung but the 1 day battery my only thing with this watch is it could feel fragile not offering much protection unless you buy a screen protector or some kind of accessory for the watch

    Good watch, but I wish there was more functionality with the side buttons. Most navigation is done with the touchscreen.

    Amazing watch to use to track your runs. It also has other great activities and health features. If you are gonna start running I recommend getting a Garmin.

    Really good health focused smart watch for the price. And it fits comfortably on my small wrist. I do recommend getting a different band though.

    Worst smart/fitness watch I've ever had

    I've had Fitbit, Garmin, and Samsung (Tizen and WearOS). This was the worst of them all. Likes: nice screen, long battery life. Dislikes: sleep tracker never worked (even on the replacement unit). Several times it stopped recording my 2+ mile walks, got home to "0.2 mile walk with 85 steps recorded." Buttons are awkward to press. User interface is not consistent and is not intuitive. Proprietary charging cable! Screen protectors are hard to find and were poor quality. I returned it. And kudos to Best Buy, their patient geek squad, and their knowledgeable sales staff for making this experience relatively painless!

    I liked my vivoactive 4 better. They got rid of the stair climbing metric on this watch. I feel the step counting is off unless you tell it you’re on a walk. It frequently loses connection to my phone while it’s in my pocket. It’s overall a good watch, but I wish I kept my vivoactive 4.
