    I’ve been looking at getting one of these for a few months now. I was not disappointed. This watch is very easy to read and use. Synced it with my phone and I was all set. Waterproof is a great bonus.

    Nice watch but the battery life sucks, have to charge everyday for the app I use. If you don't connect it to your bluetooth phone then battery lasts about 2 days

    This watch does everything I wanted it for and even more! The workout features are great. It is pretty accurate too, as well the step counter. Definitely my new favorite little gadget.

    Tells time, notifies me of calls and alarms, and keeps track of my fitness. I don't know what more you could want from a watch. Oh, yeah, it's also waterproof.

    When I purchased this item I got the notification to pick it up from the store so fast. My mom has been wanting a galaxy watch since forever. She was so geeked about this purchase.

    This is a great watch. It's great for keeping track of exercise and also receiving notifications. I especially like being able to respond to messages directly from the watch by voice

    The watch itself is fine but I had to charge it everyday. Very annoying. I stopped wearing it. For the price I paid, it should last longer than 1 day.

    I have had several smart watches over the years and this is by far my favorite. It was up and running in less than 5 minutes from opening the box. It's intuitive and I've quickly come to rely on it.

    I bought 2 for me and my wife for our anniversary. We have had them since the pre-order special and they are really good for all functions. Tracking exercise etc. Our favorite feature is voice to text.

    Bought this brand new watch and love it! Gets notification. Responds to texts. Gets emails. Can't make a phone call which is fine for me but I get the call notification. Very lightweight. Great battery.

    I love this watch. It replaced a Samsung 2 Smartwatch that was worn out. This new watch has more features and setup couldn't be better. Would buy again.

    I had the Samsung gear fit 2 before this and when it was time to upgrade, this is the one I chose. Very easy to use, can be customized in several different ways. Battery life is good.

    My wife and I both bought me watches. I bought the Frontier and this is hers. She loves it and I have to say I am impressed. It does almost everything the more expensive watch does for less money.

    Love my watch. I love everything about it. However, don't wear it to tight. It caused my waist to breakout (I didn't think it was tight, but guess it was).
