    The watch itself is a really nice smartwatch for the entry level price, definitely lacking compared to some of the more expensive ones but for people that want to track more than just steps this is a great fitness tracker, the built in rep counter for weight lifting is nice, even if it does not contain every exercise and does not automatically start tracking at least it does it at all.

    My brother and I purchased two of these for our wives since they’re into exercising now. Both were using Fitbit devices previously with Samsung phones, so it seemed like a good idea to upgrade them to this Samsung device as a Mother’s Day gift. There’s a newer model out now, but this works just fine for them. And so far, no complaints from either of them, which is a good sign.

    I very much enjoy this watch. It receives all my texts and emails and everything. I enjoy how it shows everything when on Spotify as well. I like how the face is interchangeable with an easy free download. The only negative is that it doesn't do the best with recording steps, my old Fitbit was better at that but broke and have been wanting an upgrade and pleasantly satisfied.

    I recently purchased a Samsung watch and I love it! This is my second one since the watch band broke inside my last watch and could not be fixed. The old watch still worked but I couldn't wear it. The new watch has a different type of band so I shouldn't have that problem again. I love that my watch will alert me if I get a phone call, text, or email. Again, I love my Samsung watch!

    This is the first one I can only imagine it gets better and I think this is awesome works great for my jogging only thing is that you have to put it on the swimming mode so then when your sweat touches it from your sleeve it does weird things they couldn’t fix that mine still working great no need to get the new one yet
