    I love my watch. It works as expected; however, I do not feel that my steps are calculated correctly. I compared it to an apple watch, and it was 3x less steps on the galaxy watch. Hopefully, an update will fix this. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it to others.

    Bought this watch at bestbuy.com and it got lost buy the time they sent the replacement it was going to be to late so i had to go to the store to replace it because my daughter really wanted it. She wishes you could call and receive calls on it. But besides that she said she likes it better then her fitbit

    This is a well rounded smart watch. The screen size is perfect for reading messages, monitoring your movement and, of course, keeping time. I highly recommend getting a screen protector, though. I have a tendency to hit it on things because it's thicker than I'm used to. Love it!

    Keeping fingers crossed that I don't lose the sensor cover like my first one. I love this watch. Easy to set up and link to my phone. It is perfect to keep in contact without having to have my phone out. Auto detecting workouts is great. It is a great smart watch and meets all my needs

    Great for a teenager who just got her 1st smartwatch. She is hard-of-hearing and we bought this for her to set up her morning alarm to wake her up. Also, she doesn't always carry her phone around the house, so it makes this easy to communicate with her as well.

    So far, so good, but I'm having a little trouble with getting Bixby to work. As with all new toys, there is a learning curve. Does not work with Google Pay, as far as I can tell, and I don't have a Samsung phone, so can't use Samsung Pay. To be fair, my phone (LG) might not be compatible with GP.

    My husband is hard on watches we have had 4 come apart on him. This one seems to be holding together so far and he likes it I bought a all around silicon cover for it online and it has kept it from getting scratched. He loves the red letters against the black background for contrast.

    I love this watch. I am not very techy but this watch is easy for me to use. I love that when I walk it not only track steps and miles but I can see what my heart rate is! Also, it monitors my stress level and will give me a breathing exercise to help bring my stress level down. I love this watch.

    Bought as s present for someone, they love it, beautiful and responsive interface, great colors/display. Now if they can only make it thinner, everyone would have one. App setup / tether to a smartphone is not the easiest, but can be navigated around with some thought

    this was a purchase for my mother for her birthday and I purchased this for myself and I love it. I can see my messages and other notifications. It tracks my activity and more. I think if you don't need to talk into your watch this is the best thing for you.

    For smaller wrists like I was cursed with, this watch works great, looks great, and doesnt make me feel like a piece of garbage. I still wish the software allowed you to customize your stride distance for better accuracy, but none of them have that. This has everything else.

    Smart watch does everything I'd hoped it would. Love the activity and sleep tracking. There are so many features available, I haven't figured out all of them yet. I don't love how wearing the watch and carrying my Samsung phone at the same time duplicates steps on the health app when the devices sync.

    I love watches, but this watch has taken over and made my other watches collect dust. I automatically records when I begin workout because I always forget to note it myself. It reminds me frequently that I need to get up and move when I'm being lazy. It's an over full fun watch. Lightweight as well.

    It's a good watch for basic stuff. Such as workouts, keeping track of your steps etc. Unfortunately you can make calls with it but does not have a mic or speaker where you can talk directly into the watch. Other than that I like it, just wish I was able to speak and hear calls from.it.

    I love this watch! This is a great tool for my every day life. I use it to track my steps, check heart rate, weather, tell the time, and set start/stop my workouts. It is comfortable, pretty, and the interactive display faces that are interchangeable keep me in LOVE with this watch.

    I bought the watch for my sister and so far she has no complains. It is a very stylish watch. I would, however, advice you get a screen protector, as the screen had a few fine scratches after a few weeks. I got the clear screen protector installed and luckily the scratches can no longer be seen.

    This watch was amazing. Was never a fan of Tizen's software but it still worked nevertheless. I do wish it had more analog simple watch faces built in and would have a stronger scratch resist screen since it's all glass. Otherwise, love the company and the watch. Would definitely recommend!

    It is a well made alternative to the Apple watch that fits in perfectly into the Android OS environment. It did feel a little half-baked at launch because the software required to make the SpO2 sensor usable was only made available a few months later.
