    Not only is the watch pretty, but it functions very well. I Love how it tracks my various body levels. My only wish is that the battery lasted longer. It holds a charge for approx. 18 hours, and is fast charging. But, would be nice if longer. Not a major issue...hence the 5 stars!

    Great starting smart watch, but word to the wise make sure you are comfortable and familiar with battery sharing/wireless charging between devices. Per recommended charging process (hardwired) battery life with use expected to be 24 hrs or less dependent on frequency of use.

    The Galaxy watch is fantastic! I wish it had the Apple shape however it's perfect for me. I love the versatility of a variety of bands, I get compemtnts on my watch all the time becasue of the way I make it look. Plus, I have a very femine small wrist and the 42" works perfect.

    I havent had this long jut what I have used so far has been just what I was looking for. I'm still playing around with the apps. It's nice to have so many options. I was hoping for a longer battery life however I am trying to get in a groove with charging.

    It looks beautiful, which is why I bought it. A friend of mine had it and I admired it. However, the battery dies so fast. You have to charge it every night. My husband had a fitbit Charge and he could go almost a week b4 having to charge it. I get it, this watch does WAAAAYYY more, NOT! Needless to say within a year I was in a campground bathroom and it fell on the floor when I was showering and cracked the screen. Samsung doesn't replace the screen. It stopped working not long after, and I replaced it with a Fitbit that I love!

    The only frustrating things are the battery life and the fact it doesnt have it's own data plan. Trying to stretch the battery out..and hoping eventually it will because I haven't been able to use the sleep tracker yet as i HAVE to charge it at the end of the night. Other than that .I LOVE IT!!.

    While I really liked this watch, especially the color (green), I ultimately returned and purchased the regular galaxy watch. This one was everything I needed, for tracking workout, sleep and stress, however, not having a speaker to be able to answer and make calls just didn't work for me.

    it was easy to sync to phone. in the beginning it did not count my calories correctly while i was working out. It was way off... for instance i had a spin class for 50 min and it said i only burned 53 calories. there is another high intense workout i do for an hour and it said i burned about 250 calories when usually i burn at the minimum of 600 calories. I messed with HR settings... not sure what i did exactly but it made a difference i think. it is tracking what i'm burning in a workout better but not as exact as it should. There is an under amour app for workouts I've used before and its close to tracking on that one. About 200 calories off from heart rate monitors i've used or other workout apps i've used to compare. I've enjoyed the watch for the most part though!

    For a first time smartwatch it exceeded my expectations. The different app notifications are super helpful. When I first set it up the battery drained pretty fast but after messing with the settings it lasts pretty long. I still am learning about all the features but so far so good.

    This is a very nicely built smart watch those who don't like a square watches. The display is much more vibrant compared to fitbit versa. It's easy to operate and the app is also good. The only downside is that the battery won't last more than 2-3 days with regular usage.

    Sync perfectly with my mobile device and very easy to use. A great watch to keep up with exercise and reminds me to get up and move about while teleworking. A very stylish device and the screens can be changed. Got it for a great price!

    I love my Samsung Watch. It works seamlessly with my Samsung Galaxy phone. In my opinion the quality is so much better that the Fitbit. I had a Fitbit Versa and in just over a year, the heart rate monitor stopped working on it. I would recommend the Samsung watch!!!!

    I love my Samsung products, and was determined to get one of their smart watches. I picked this one because the price is right, and it supports ‘third-party’ apps. My only complaint is that the only third-party apps it supports are a handful that come from the Samsung Galaxy Store.

    I've always been hesitant of wearable tech, but decided to get this watch so I wouldn't have to keep pulling my phone out to check my calendar and text notifications while working. The battery life is great, I use mine a lot and I've averaged 3 days of use on a single charge.

    Samsung rose gold smart watch. This watch works well; has a lot of great features and is easy to use. Watch battery dies quickly though, but I would still recommend. Able to reply to messages from watch, which is a great feature.

    Excellent product; tracks and provides all the functions I was looking for. Just a tip - buy the protection plan since the product's battery can't quite make it to the 2 year point. With the plan, it's just a quick switch out.

    I purchased this after struggling to get a fitbit versa to consistently connect with my samsung phone. As you might guess, this watch worked seamlessly. I like the fitness tracking features although I find the auto detect feature fails to kick in sometimes.

    I am really enjoying my watch. It is just the right size and is very comfortable to wear all day long. The charge lasts a couple of days and recharges in less than two hours. I like being able to check my email and text messages at a glance. This watch is worth the investment!

    I liked that these smart watch has plenty of features that are very helpful but battery life is not that good. it wasn't reaching the battery life advertised. Though I'm getting lots of email from work which maybe causing high battery consumption
