    Overall does exactly what I expected. Make sure you get a screen protector and/or bumper, it gets banged up pretty easily

    I purchased this as a gift for a friend and she's really happy with it other than the battery life.

    Not as water resistant as advertised/warranty void

    I probably would have rated this higher if not for my recent experience. My watch's screen went dead, so I contacted Samsung about a repair. I'm told it will be a free repair but a day after they receive it, I get a bill by email that's pretty much the cost of the watch when I bought it. I call them and I'm told that the warranty was voided because there was water damage. Seriously? Water damage? How? I don't swim, I don't have a tub so I don't take baths, it's never been submerged in anything. The most I do is wash my hands or shower, and not even with warm water. I'm told that supposedly it may have had a crack, but I kept it cover with a watch protector so my question again is how? Samsung likely sent me a defective product that was not water resistant and now I'm being expected to essentially pay for a used watch what I could get a brand new one for. I used to recommend Samsung to people but this experience has left a REALLY bad taste in my mouth, even that I'm even questioning whether or not I even want to replace my phone with another Samsung. I am THOROUGHLY unimpressed Samsung. Do better.

    I love my watch, but I have to wear a band- aid under it because it caused a rash on my arm. The band it comes is cheap looking but you can get nicer ones online for a good price. I recommend it but if you havr sensitive skin be aware that it can cause issues. Samsung is aware they address it on their website with recommendations to prevent the issue but my skin is just sensitive in generally

    I had the previous Galaxy Watch, it was heavier. This is much much lighter, plus it helps me more with my health as well.
