    I bought this for my wife as she was jogging more frequently and I recently took up a step challenge at work. We use this watch to challenge each other in staying fit. She loves the style and how easy to use it is.

    Coming over from Fitbit I was worried about this watch. But it is everything samsing said it would be. I wish the battery life was longer but it last as advertised. The watch faces are great and tracks and syncs with my note 8 prefect.

    My wife loves this watch. Its usability and connectivity give her freedom to not carry her phone on her person but have it nearby when needed. She also enjoys the "health tracking" on this device

    It’s big and chunky but it really does the job. It’s easy to set up, holds a charge for about 36 hours with heavy use and charges quickly. There are some very nice free faces. It greets me with a big smile every morning!

    This watch is great. Comfortable. Easy to use. The original band is somewhat "rubbery". Very comfortable until the exercise begins and then it gets "sweaty". I bought a leather band and the issue is resolved.

    This is the first Smart watch I bought and it's pretty good. For some reason the battery goes very fast but if I connect it to my phone through Bluetooth it lasts longer.

    Have owned the watch for approximately 2 weeks. Wear it daily for about 22 hours for workouts, tracking steps and heartbeats, and each night for sleeping patterns. Need to recharge it daily for 2 hours for my use.

    One thing I miss is the external speaker for phone calls, but you can pair a headset to it. No bezel like the bigger Galaxy watches, but you can run your finger along the edge for the same effect. Really a great value.

    Bought it for my wife for her birthday. She’s really enjoying all the features. She like to check her sleep patterns and track how much water she drinks in a day... Would definitely recommend for anyone...

    This smart watch integrated perfectly with our Android S8+ and the interface is really intuitive. The biggest issue with this and all smart watches is the horrific battery life. Charging another device daily really is a chore and the biggest flaw.

    I recently switched to this watch and so far I really like it. It works as expected and it looks nice. Based on my little bit of time with this watch, I do think that it's easiest to use if you have a Samsung phone.

    Watch exactly what I wanted. Doesn't have a speaker so doesn't make sounds for notification and you can't answer calls, but does vibrate. You can see and answer text messages through the watch.

    When connecting to iPhone battery didn't last more than 1 day. Retuned original purchase thinking it was watch. Got a Samsung Phoebe and now battery life is much longer. About 2.5 days of use at optimized battery setting.

    I love this watch. It is so easy to use and light weight. I am able to do almost everything with this watch. I mainly purchased this watch for exercise and being able to text when I need to. It's very comfortable and worth the cost.

    The watch is terrific in every respect except taking blood pressure. According to what I was directed to, after reaching out to Samsung, you have to add an app that is part of a study where your blood pressure is taken several times a day and you answer questions regarding your location and stress levels are recorded. If you don't mind doing this fine, but the function of measuring your blood pressure works when the face of the watch is in the bottom of your wrist and must be tried several times, at least 4, before it actually works. So don't count on it for convenience of blood pressure readings.
