    I was skeptical that I'd like it because I'd been used to the Samsung Galaxy GF 2 but this watch does even more and for the same amount of money! Well worth the $$$.

    Only thing I haven't figured out is how to connect to non Samsung apps. Their app is good though. Had bought an updated Fitbit and it would not keep synced to Samsung phone.

    I wanted a smart watch, but not the high price tag that went along with it. When I saw this one, I instantly fell in love. It looked great, had options, and was a decent price to match.

    The only small problem I have is the stress meter cuts off before it gives me my results. It might be something I can fix in the settings, but I love this better than my previous one.

    I bought this for my wife and she's been wearing it for a while now. She really likes it. We got screen protectors for it right away so it wouldn't get scratched.

    Most of the features on this watch work very well. Texting features need serious improvement, though. Hard to send msgs as the screen doesnt recognize the handwriting feature very well at all and the keyboard function was obviously not a priority when designing the software. I do like the workouts, sleep tracker, music, and weather features. All-in-all, I like the watch, but I think it's a little pricey for the texting quality. It's almost like they set the price point first, and then the functionality was an afterthought.

    This is a great watch for Android users. I like all the features it has to offer. The only thing I didn't like is it is thicker than an average watch and since I have a small wrist it is bulky.

    It's very good color and quality are great, the bad thing is that it has no speakers, so you can not use ringtone or answer calls directly

    I only had the watch for less than a month. Can't give a full detail of the product. For the short time I've used it I like it. I do the sleep stage and the daily activity.

    I didn't like this Smart watch because you could not make or talk from this watch. The watch was to short on my wrist. Other than that the watch was okay.

    I have had my smart watch for three months. I really like and find it very helpful. I would not get a protective cover. It came off within the 1st week of having the cover put on.

    All of the info you get is pretty correct but the small screen, lack of battery life and no bezel meant this got traded up for the Galaxy Watch.
