    My wife loves her new Samsung Galaxy watch. She is very active and wants to keep on eye on her health at all times. This unit is perfect for that along with connecting to her phone.

    This is nice watch and works basic smartwatch function exceptionally well. A decent battery life which can be charged enough under 30 mins. It monitors heart rate accurately. The main advantage of it if you are using a samsung phone as it pairs and works flawlessly with samsung galaxy devices. It tracks your activity and steps counter. It has its own shortcomings which mostly get ridden off by version 2 which is one of the finest right now in android smartwatch market. Overall, this is as comparable with Fitbit Versa 2 and decent watch. If you find great deal around 100, go for it blindly.

    This is what j needed in my first smart watch. Pretty easy to use, stylish and fast charging. I like the variety of watch faces and how easy it was to connect. I would have preferred that it was as easy to reply to text.

    This smart watch integrated perfectly with our Android S8+ and the interface is really intuitive. The biggest issue with this and all smart watches is the horrific battery life. Charging another device daily really is a chore and the biggest flaw.

    I liked this watch better at first as it would display when I turned my wrist but now it doesn't always give the same results. Not sure if it was a learning curve or not. Still a nice watch and the corresponding app for the phone works well.

    I love this compact and neatly designed watch from Samsung. Much more sleeker and brighter than the Galaxy watch and I love the fitness apps. The galaxy app store though needs much more work as there are very limited apps to download.

    Fit comfortably around wrist. The only draw back is the wake screen turning on when looking at the watch in the dark. Can be difficult at times. Overall, the battery keeps a good charge and it informs you when you need to be active.

    My husband loves his watch. He does wish that it had the capability to talk on it without having to get his phone, and I'm sure there are some that have capability, just not for the great price of this one!!!!!!

    I have not have a watch in years. Take a lot of research before purchasing this watch. I am very happy with it. Has just the right amount of features for me! I only wish Samsung had a better variety of bands.

    This watch has been an EXCELLENT replacement for my old S2 watch, its lighter, and just as easy to use. My only downside is i cannot seem to find anything other than silicone bands for it.

    My samsung gear fit 2 pro kicked the bucket and I was sad to find out I can't really find a new one of those anymore. Then I found out about this watch, it has all the same features I liked, plus I can now speak to it to reply to text messages!

    I had one of the early Fit2 and bought the other brand when I couldn't find a new band. I used the other watch for almost 2 years and went back to my Samsung. I like it's communications doesn't drain my phone battery.

    I had no problems figuring this watch out and I'm not very tech savvy. Ease of use and have not had any problems with functioning in the 2 months I've had it. Would definitely recommend for someone who needs a simple smart watch

    I'm enjoying this watch very much. So far it's doing everything it says it would. I like that I can answer the phone from my watch with a headset on. Still learning about it but so far I love it.

    I love this watch. You can change the face of the watch and there are quite a few to chose from. My only complaint is that it didn't record my aerobics as a workout and didn't count all my steps. Its a three mile workout.
