    I love this watch. It's everything I wanted in a smart watch. I have small wrists and this watch has a small footprint and is extremely lightweight! It's great for workouts and is dressy enough for work! It's very easy to use and the battery lasts 2-3 days for me before having to charge.

    Great watch and fitness monitor. I like the text and call notifications. I also like how you can set up the heart rate monitor for measurement 10 minute intervals. It saves on the battery. Clear screen. I bought an aftermarket watch gaurd, TPU plastic. It works well.

    I've had it for one month and so far it's been great. At first there was a software update on my S9 that would fail each time, but then my phone was updated to Android pie and the watch software updated with no problem. Other than that, it's been great! It lasts 2 full days on one charge.

    This was my first smartwatch purchase and I would recommend it for the price. It does pretty much what the higher end models do. I've only got some small scratches on it since I've gotten it. But I have bumped it against walls and such so it was only a matter of time til it got scratched.

    This watch is great and functional. The battery life is terrible. Event when you turn off some of the battery chewing functions, you'll be lucky if it lasts 48 hours. So much for sleep apps. Spend the extra $ and get an apple watch.

    I loved everything about this watch except the battery life was less than 24 hours. I did exchange it after a week hoping it was just that Particular watch but the same thing happened with the new one. Very disappointed.

    I'm still exploring the features of this watch. However I pretty impress so far. Receive my watch in a timely fashion. There was one delay, but UPS quickly updates me via text. No complaints. I would recommend this watch to anyone staring the fitness journey.

    I am really enjoying the ability to track multiple apps on my watch. I like the flexibility to quickly see text messages without pulling my phone out of my purse or pocket. I also like being able to track and monitor my exercise, as this is getting me to be more accountable.

    Does't have a camera---I don't need one on my watch. Can't make phone calls from my watch---that would have been a plus but not a total necessity. But the battery life is awesome and you can text from it and set it up to preview email and you upcoming schedule---plus, plus.

    Simple setup and operation that works best with a Samsung phone. Bright, easy to read screen is easy to navigate. Light weight and is comfortable to wear. Battery life is good and lasted all day with regular usage. Includes a wireless charger and a longer band for bigger wrists.

    Display is informative and a great upgrade from my old outdated fitbit. So much data and so colorful in just one screen. Round face and more fashionable too. Love it!

    This is a great looking smart watch with many options. I use it to count my steps, check my sleeping pattern, and, of course, for the time. The fun part is getting text messages from my phone and seeing when I get a call. I'm still learning about all of the things it will do.

    I have enjoyed this smart watch, so far battery life is pretty good can last a day and half most the time as long as I'm not constantly using it. My biggest complaint is BIXBY. It sucks on this device. It doesn't get anything right. EVER! I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for BIXBY.

    I bought this for my mother and she loves it. Very stylish and very comparable to the Fitbit watches I have bought for her. The sleep tracking function does everything you could need it to do which is what I was initially worried about. The stress tracking function is a great bonus.

    I love this watch and everything it does. I will say going from an Apple watch to this took some getting used to. I'm not able to answer phone calls or receive GPS directions which is a bummer. I do like how it has the option for notifications but pictures from messages do not show up.

    Gave this to my wife for our Anniversary 3 weeks ago and she loves it. She had a Garmin HR before and really liked it so at first she wasn't sure about it but after wearing it and "learning" all of its functions she is very happy. Would definitely recommend this watch.

    I like how the watch looks it has a good variety of different faces. Although it doesn't seem like it keeps very accurate track of steps and Floors. And I can't get the weather to show my town and that it's not very accurate either.

    Disappointed that the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well. I bought this for my elderly father to help him keep track of his heart rate and it doesn’t work well. The readings are very off at times. Not reliable.

    Very durable watch. Work outside and in the garage everyday. It has held up to everything I put it through. Only downside I'd say is battery life. Compared to the 2-3 day battery life of my iwatch I can go maybe 1-2 days on a full charge.
