Great watch.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a android and galaxy guy, I love this product. Easy to use and setup, the software gives you plenty of free options as far as changing it up face wise. Easy to charge and you get about 2 full days off it.

Excellent watch
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like all the things this watch does. Only downside is the battery life is too short. Sometimes I have to charge it twice and day and I turned the display intensity way down. So, I'm using the power saver mode often. I like the color and the cool watch faces I downloaded. It has all the functions I was looking for in a smart watch.

It’s good enough for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product in general is good, but be aware that this watch is targeted for those who want to monitor their exercise and not do other things that other smartwatches do. The watch doesn’t have a speaker so the notifications don’t have a sound, but the watch does vibrate when receiving notifications. In general it’s a decent watch

Works well most of the time.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll turn off notifications and it will still vibrate when disconnected from my phone and then connected back. Will turn notifications on and won't get any for texts, calls ect. Scratches easily so a protector screen is needed. Have to charge it daily and really thought it would last longer. It does track exercise and swims automatically which is great.

Quality product
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased on 10/2/19 to replace my gear sport. The first thing I'll say is if you're coming from a larger watch, like the gear sport, this watch will feel small. Very small. While it's updated features, slick design, and low profile are appealing. The small stature of this device is difficult for someone with slightly larger fingers to operate fluidly. The features are right on the mark though. It's gps system is accurate for running or trail riding and pairs perfectly with samsung health. Though this will only gps track you if you specifically choose an activity and not if it's autodetected. The battery life out of the box is insane but of course diminishes over time. Out of the box it's not uncommon to get 2+ days from this without needing a charge. Now over 7 months later I'm starting to see 18 hours and in many cases less which seems to be the going rate for these types of watches. The inclusion of wireless charging through the S10 models is a huge perk for traveling or just needing to charge this on the go. Overall good product but the battery won't end up lasting a whole year.

Excellent Smart Watch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's more attractive than previous watch, and comes packing some neat new fitness tracking abilities, making for a compelling package. Its color matches with everything and the size is just perfect, will definitely help it appeal to more people. It also has a very good battery life, and for me is the best smartwatch operating system out there.

Good design
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for just a fitness tracker with a few extras, this is a good watch to have. Its light and smaller than the bigger frontier series but also doesnt have all the features either. It is swim proof which is nice but does lack a speaker for phone calls, having a bluetooth headset remedies that problem of course. Overall it's still a great device.

great 2nd tier tracker
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wear it everywhere. I wear it with a watch(NERD!) because I want to get credit for what little exercise I really get. It does most things very well. I have set the watch face to have time, battery level, pulse and weather. The sleep tracker works 95% of the time.(It gets confused with "today" and "tomorrow", sometimes) What really frosts my cookies is the stair count! this feature works 0% of the time! I live on the 3rd floor, and it has never given me credit for a full 3 flights. (It says "move your arms as you climb, but IT LIES!!) the charging is much, Much, MUCH Better than last 2 versions! (they said "wireless" but they had brass contacts that disintegrated with sweat and corrosion-never lasted 2 years) This one is really wireless and will give you about 2 days on a charge. I just put it back on the charger everyday. The size is just right to be unobtrusive. I got a good deal when I got it with the S20 Ultra(that's a mixed bag). I didn't want the extra features and price of the top of the line model.

Not the best nut not the worst
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The screen is a little bit smaller than I thought also the battery life is horrible you only get 1 day on a full charge. Other watches I have bought lasted days or a full week. Overall this is a really great watch and durable. I work 60 hours a week in a very busy kitchen and its holds up great and the waterproof is amazing.

Best Smartwatch I've Had
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connectivity is strong and timely. The watch has apps that are a step above Fitbit Charge 2 and Gear. Set up is fast, watch faces plentiful, and notifications are in real time. Battery life is only OK - about a day and a half if I use the fitness apps. I wish I could choose a larger font as the zoom is not fabulous. I would purchase it again.

Great watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife to replace her fitbit. She says it is much better than her fitbit charge was, has a great feel/weight to it. Display is clear and easy to read. Her favorite feature is the wrist bands, they are much smoother and softer that other watches she has had in the past.

beautiful watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful watch, very comfortable to wear. I had an apple watch before, this one is not as intuitive and I'm having to work a lot harder to learn the features. But I'm glad I made this purchase, I just don't feel like spending so much time investigating all its functions. More of a Samsung/software issue than an issue with this particular watch.

Great Watch
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this watch and it does everything I want it to do. I like that fact that I can change the face with my own pictures. When I bought the watch, I asked how long the battery life was and was told 2-3 days before charging again. That's not true, I have charge my watch every morning. Other than that, I like the watch.

Easy to use, fits comfortably
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the functionality of the watch. You can change the face to so many different ones that it feels like you have a different watch anytime you want. Connects quickly to your phone, easy to use app. Battery lasts about one day if you are using it constantly. 48 hours if you're just wearing it for the time and to track steps.

Very Easy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a busy ER nurse. I don't have alot of time to check my cell phone. Which can be annoying when my kids or husband try to reach me. This informs me when my phone is ringing. It vibrates my wrist. Now, I can answer it.. but not talk on my wrist. Which I don't mind. I wouldn't want to accidentally answer a call in the ER lolol. I can text and message and email and other features from my watch. Which is very nice on the run! It also has great range away from my cell phone. I can keep my cell phone in my locker and run around the entire ED. You also can choose from a TON of watch faces. So if I want a photo of my kids, or a actually ticking watch to do patient respiration counts, or a quick digital. All are available. My favorite feature is the sleep tracking. It tells me how I sleep, if I got deep sleep, how many times I woke up, how many REMs I got..EVERYTHING! I LOVE IT! I really recommend this watch! If you have a hard time deciding between this and the brand new one, I'd choose this. For the price and it has everything except phone calling.

Not bulky for a smartwatch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch is a great smartwatch. Has many different customization options. The battery only really lasts a day when I have it hooked to my phone, just have to get in the habit of charging every night. Therefore it doesn't get to do my sleep patterns. It does charge up fast though so I can get going with it after about 30 minutes if needed.

Solid Smart Watch
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as an open box item after the holidays at $145, great value. Upgraded from a Fitbit and the leap in quality was well worth the money. Rates lower than top tier watches but provides a more than capable smart watch at a great price. Perfect option for those looking to enter the smart watch market without the expense.

Nice watch
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first smart watch I've owned. Isnt HUGE on my wrist, it's nice and compact. Does exactly what I need it to do. Counts my steps and tells time. I got all black and haven't changed my band. Its like a latex rubbery material. Its comfortable. To sum it up. Comfortable and affordable!
