    just walked into this watch market and bought to entertain the idea. I like it and is functional, yet not exactly what I thought. It does lack on the app features but works well in a rough work atmosphere.

    I did end up selling this one and buying a silver one instead but thats only because I wanted to be able to buy third party bands and be able to wear several different colors and have them match.

    Was able to purchase the watch as an open box. Was marked down. Could only find find but a small blemish. The battery last what it says it would. I get usually two days on a charge. Really enjoy the features.

    Great upgrade from the Gear Fit 2...this watch is pretty good with recording audio and voice to text. Battery life is great so far. Only hiccup is the automatic workout detection is not as speedy the Gear Fit 2 was

    While the rotating bezel was nice on previous Galaxy watches I'm not really missing it. While it doesn't have the battery life of the others , it's small size makes it a better fitness option and easier to wear while sleeping .

    Love this watch. First smart watch I've purchased because I've been waiting for Samsung to come out with something more slim and not so manly. The function of it is amazing. It's so custom to your specific needs.

    This watch is very stylish and not too loud as far as style is concerned. Functionality is very good and the touchscreen is quite good too. Not as good as the rotating bezel in s3 and sport but it works ok. Nice buy!

    Bought it to replace my previous smart watch to track my workouts. Based on the pictures, the watch is a lot smaller. It looks like I have a bracelet on my wrist, but since I am just using for workouts I can deal with it. It stated in the description that it works with iPhones. That is true however you loose a lot of the features when using with iPhone. Not being able to answer calls and receive text is the most important to me. But like I said just for workouts and I should not be answering calls or text during that time but the ability to quick glance at text would be useful.

    This watch is really great, and especially for the price, the only thing that could be better is the ability to see the info from for your health stuff when trying to use with a phone that isn't samsung

    This watch does a little bit of everything. Tracks your phone. Then you can track the watch from the phone and it also tracks all your steps and heart rate. This is a stylish and very functional and highly capable watch.

    Love the features, but step counter is terrible.

    Love how you can change the watch face to some very cool looks. I like all of the features. Unfortunately, I bought the watch mostly for tracking my step count, and it's just terribly inaccurate. I do the elliptical machine for an hour at a specific resistance and speed, and i have counted my steps over a minutes time. I wore my old Fitbit on one arm and the Samsung on the other. The Fitbit was within a hundred or so of what it should be, and my new Samsung was off by several thousand!!! My Fitbit read about 8200 and the Samsung read about 4700. I am thinking about returning it.

    Love my Samsung watch. I was skeptical whether I would use it daily but I absolutely use it every day. It charges fast and battery lasts me all day even with all the email notifications I get.

    I love all the features of this watch. Would have given it a 5 star review if the blood pressure app would work with other phones besides Samsung's. Since I have a Motorola I can't use it. Otherwise I like every other feature!
