Good watch - Bad Band
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great watch with excellent features. I wish the band was made better. After 1 month of use, the band surface material started peeling off. It looks hideous.

Good fitness watch.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little disappointed to learn the watch isn't cellular, although I was told that I could answer and make phone calls from it. A nice watch for fitness though.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it so far, dont like care for the microphone too much, it has been acting up, might take it back and getting replaced but other than that is easy to use not bulky at all.

Disappointed with watch face!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watch face scratches very easily! Cannot have face replaced, have to get a new watch, then have to purchase new protection also. Not worth buying watch. Protection cost $40,

Great watch but it may have been used or returned.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great watch. However, I wondered if it was used because the box of the watch did not contain a booklet about the product. I know I was buying a new watch.

Great Samsung, Small Screen
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the idea of a Samsung watch but the screen is way too small for.someone who cant see 20/20 vision. I would always have to squint. The comfort of the watch was okay.

Avoid open box items!!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy any open box items from Best Buy. They incorrectly advise that the item is warranteed, but that is not the case. This item stopped working but by the time I purchased it, it was already out of manufacturer's warranty, and no warranty or service repair was available through Best Buy. Wasted so much time to figure this out, and basically threw away $130. Lesson learned

Fair watch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.watch is too small for a man. It feels comfortable but the design is a little bit cheap. It is a fair watch if you just use it to count steps but not a fashion watch to wear

Poor value for a sport watch
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed in 2 important areas: 1. The gps is inaccurate. I can walk the same loop and, from day to day, the distance can be off by .12 miles every 1.0 miles walked...not good! 2. The HR monitor will decide not to work for an entire walk. No date recorded during walk. Go figure. Next time I'll buy a real sport watch like a Garmin.

If only it worked with my phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have loved this watch if only it worked with my phone. I have a blackberry keyone operating on android. It paired fine, all the options worked EXCEPT notifications. I lied, it did for about 5 minutes. I checked all the fixes on Samsung, and the final word on solving the issue was to return it! After 24 hours of struggle, I did. I exchanged it for a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and it works like a charm. The graphics aren't as fancy, but it does everything and more. I'm sorry, Samsung. I really tried.

Not for answering phones or texting
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can't receive texts or send messages. It's mostly for fitness and maybe reminders. It tells you when someone is calling but you can't answer.

Posted .Hello madewithrice, thank you for sharing your experience with this watch! You can quickly view incoming messages and send replies without even taking out your phone. You can also send replies using Quick messages, or when you decline incoming calls. You cannot make or answer calls directly on your watch unless it has a built-in mic and speaker like the Galaxy Watch Active2, Galaxy Watch, and Gear S3. ^Elizabeth

Can't talk on watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was under the impression I could talk on this watch. You can answer, but phone needs to be close or have on a Bluetooth. Also missing the extra bands.

Not worth the hype
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, you can use it for about a day to a day and a half, and have to be without it for 2 hours to charge?!...
