    Easy to use, very helpful info. Very quick charge, battery with watch on about 48 hrs. Bright, easy to read. Very pleased, cost more but a lot of helpful info for the cost.

    Love it. Had a Samsung before, but this one has truly changed for the better - lots of new tech. It was a great price on your Early Black Friday sale this past week.

    Really good watch. Only downside is that the battery doesn't last long but if you put it to charge while you shower, you'll always have battery.

    Finally A Good Watch

    After a couple weeks of use, this watch has been very impressive. The workout tracking is fantastic. I switched from Google Fit to Samsung's app after purchasing, which takes a little getting used to---the app is ok, but the overall tracking ability of the watch is great. I am not a power user, but have been wearing the watch for about 17 hours per day and have regularly only used 20-30% of battery life per day (Maybe 35% on days where I track a longer workout). As many other reviews state, the app selection is limited, so don't expect a ton of unique customization. As long as you can get by with the stock functions, the watch is a nice tech companion.

    I got this watch for Mother's Day. It has been a blessing in ways. The only reason I give it 4 starts is because the battery life isn't as good as it says to me. I have to charge it every other day.

    This is by far the best smart watch we have used. Tried the fit bits and others. The size is perfect for a lady or a teen. This is much classier than the frontier. Just wish it had a speaker.

    I purchased this item and picked it up on release date! I have been extremely happy with it since day 1. Having gone from an Apple Watch/iPhone back to a galaxy S10/galaxy watch all at once, it was an adjustment, but this watch (and the S10) has not disappointed. I only wanted the basics, and that's what I got! It works fantastic, and the size is perfect. I love how it looks like more of a traditional watch. The only thing I wish I had known, however, is that you cannot answer phone calls through the watch itself. That has been the only adjustment I have had to make since I had previously owned an Apple Watch. Overall, fantastic watch! I would definitely purchase it again!

    I looked at many options and this watch does everything I was wanting. I couldn't see spending much more than $200 for a watch, so this one is perfect. My favorite part is the shape and size.

    Pretty good looking, but the actual color is more like black than green shown in pictures. HR reading is not accurate. Very good for smartwatch, but good for fitness tracking.
