    I live by this watch. It is amazing. I literally got it to help me make healthier choices and take care of my body. It has worked beyond what I imagined from water intake to calories and even steps. This watch reminds me to challenge my self and I have fun watching my growth. Finally able to monitor everything and I'm down 10 lbs!! 10000 steps daily and set my own weight loss goals!!! Must have!

    Not a watch fan but my cousin recommended this watch to help track my steps since I kept losing my Fitbit. I really like the sleek appearance and features of the watch. I only use it for time and step count. Only used the read text feature once and that's because I have trouble reading small print. I wear it every day and have gone three days before needing to charge. It charges fast which is nice. Definitely enjoy this item.

    I want to give this watch 5 stars, it's beautiful, works great, but synching with an iPhone is almost impossible. Worked like a charm with my S8, and I had full use of the watch (notifications, S Health app, etc). But because her work uses iPhones, it ended up being pretty pointless to keep. Initial connecting took forever and didn't work, or finally connected and then would consistently disconnect from the Bluetooth on her iPhone. Reading reddit and other sites, including Samsung support, this is a pretty common issue when it comes to iPhones. Pretty disappointed, since she loved the watch (I did to) but the limitations impossed by Apple (messaging notifications will not display on the phone, but phone calls did come through) render the watch not much more than just a pretty piece of semi-functional jewelry. Can I dock Apple some points for not playing well with others?!?! Recommend for anyone who isn't an Apple fanperson.

    This watch is a good fitness tracker, gives verbal feedback on miles completed and heartrate while exercising. I bought it to store music on it so I don't have to carry my phone. I pair it with wireless earbuds and it's great. Notifications from my phone, emails all work well. It's a big watch for a woman which is my only negative, but I got used to it. It's also bright for reading out in sunlight.
