    I really like the feel and look. I wish the battery would last longer. Can't keep longer that 2 days with out charging. Don't like that I can't personalize the watch face...

    I thought it would be odd not having the bezel, but this watch is still very sleek and easy to use. The battery life is pretty poor compared to my last two Samsung watches. I'm hoping Samsung comes out with an update to fix this issue.

    Decent, but some features don't work real well

    I like most of the features of this watch, but a few of the features I was really excited for don't really work that great. For one, the step counter seems to be calibrated for child steps because it logs two for every one step i take. The stairs climbed counter seems calibrated for 14ft staircases rather than the standard 10ft stairs in most houses, because if I want it to log whenever I go up my own stairs I have to reach my arm all the way over my head or it won't count it. The heart rate monitor also reads about 5-10 bpm higher than my actual heart rate. Otherwise, the watch works pretty well though.

    This watch is exactly what I was looking for to help me track my activity, calories, water intake & such. Super easy to use and personalize. Recommend the ear buds as well - they work great and are also super user friendly.

    Just bought this watch as aopen box. It's pretty much brand new. Got it at a steal. Works great so far. I always had a fitbit so it's weird trying to adjust to a different watch.

    Upgraded from an older version. I love features on the watch, especially the waterlock feature. So when I am doing activities in the pool I dont have to worry about water getting in the watch.

    There's still some features that I have not figured out how to use, but I haven't read user manual yet. But basic features were very easy to figure out. I wish you could customize a little more, but great watch over all!

    Beautifully crafted device easy to use and long battery. My daughter fell in love with the fact that she could use it on WiFi, or Bluetooth and could stream Spotify music directly from the device.

    Not sure if it was the watch, but it gave my wife a blister after wearing it 8 hours a day for a week. A few days rest healed it. My wife says it didn't give her any more blisters after that. hmm.... Otherwise, it's a great smartwatch.

    I bought this for my girl friend for a mother's day gift, we looked at the fit bits as well, but this done more and was able to go deeper under water than the fitbits. She has had it for a month or so and she still loves it

    Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he hasn't gone a day without using it since he opened it. No issues so far, he gets many compliments on the look of the watch. Also, it is very light on your wrist

    Perfect size, the belt is nice and soft to the skin. It reminds you to move or exercise when you are sitting for a long period of time. The steps count and heart rate are great features.

    This watch was easy to set up and pair with my phone. Once familiar with navigation, moving around the watch is easy too. Only downside, and it is minor, is they should include more "professional" watch face options.

    I am a fan of Samsung watches and when I saw this come out, I was looking forward to purchasing. Great watch and great features, plus lightweight. A little small for my wrist though. Still a great addition to the Samsung watch family.
