Wanted to love it, but mostly annoyed with it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my galaxy so I really wanted to love this watch but I really am ambivalent toward it. Takes way too long to charge. Apps arent too plentiful. The worst part of this watch? the exercise tracker is trash. I have been running with the running mode on and it has told my heart rate is 65 and decreasing all the way down to 35, which would have been the lowest heart rate I have ever recorded. The heart rate tracker is garbage. I end up adjusting it and trying to fiddle with it to get an accurate gauge so long that i end up resting a good portion of my exercise. I got this because the heart rate monitor I have (accurate) does not have too many apps it is compatible with. I wish I could return this but it's too late now.

Comfy, but lacking improved features.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an Android smartwatch several years ago, and expected the apps to do many more things now. Especially with Google play music. many of the apps only do a very few things, but that is not the swatches fault. Fix watches very comfortable and has good quality materials.

Good introduction to smart watches
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am new to smart watches. This is an older model, but this did all that I needed it to do. Great for monitoring phone calls and texts when I am away from the phone. Holds a good charge and charges very fast. I don't use the fitness functions much, but it does have them.

Battery is terrible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to charge my watch every day. In the review for your phone it says the battery will last up to 3days. Yeah ok. Waist of money. I was so excited to get this and now I wish I didn't. I only got it cause my fit bit wasn't compatible with new phone

Enjoy having a watch again
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a first generation Samsung watch and this is such a great watch that is attractive and useful. Enjoy having a real watch again that shows me time but has also has access to phone info. Like the health features that measure my heart and reminds me to move around especially since I work at home. A wonderful addition for me.

Nice watch
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does all the basics you need. Ended up swapping it for the galaxy watch as it has a few extra percs such as a speaker and just liked the overall look of it. Only thing I don't like is that you have to pay for a nav app for it to display on your watch. Google wear os (fossil q) in my opinion is a better os but not by much. Love the watch though!

Scratches
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have received this as an anniversary gift. I was so excited to try it and it's pretty decent compared to other smart watches in terms of tracking heart rate. Sometimes it has a hard time automatically reading your work outs. It sometimes does not let you choose other wprkouts if you have already done other workouts. The battery life is 1.5 days even with the location, brightness turned off amd all the way to 1. My peeve is that a week of wearing it with no drops and bumping into anything it has a sratch already from normal wearing. My husband's frontier watch has been dropped by my son and no sratches whatsoever. This is definitely a fragile watch not exactly as advertised being scratch resistant.

Great Watch
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a replacement for a Fit Bit. Love this watch. It has almost everything. The only thing that I'm missing on this is the ability of the watch to track your steps while you push a grocery cart. I miss that unless it is a feature which I just haven't figured out how to do.
