    No speaker. Love the black on black. Found a really nice bumper case on Amazon.

    As a big Samsung person, I thought this would match well to my new S20, so I put my Fitbit blaze aside and bought it. After 2 weeks is just OK. Not a fan that I need to charge it ever other day and the only streaming music is Spotify. Its ok, but I thing Samsung could have done better on this. I'll probably be going back to my fitbit.

    The motion sensor could be a little bit more precise. Sometimes the face won't show when I lift my wrist up so I can see the time.
