    Awesome watch. Great for what I need. It does not have a speaker so I cannot use it without my phone or earbuds for phone calls but it's still an awesome watch.

    Purchased as a gift for my husband, he loves it. Only thing he doesn’t like is the battery life. The battery on last a few days before needing to be recharged.

    Got this smart watch for fitness tracking and to pair with my Galaxy phone and earbuds. It also allows for me to use Samsung pay. A lot better than Fitbit Versa.

    My wife says she loves the aesthetic"it's pretty!" Coming from her previous Samsung watch she thought she would miss having the bezel for navigation, but "not at all", she confirmed.

    There is NO way to disable samsung heatlh service which drains 60% of the battery just to track steps. The watch has a 'watch mode' which gives you 20 days of battery, or normal mode which is about 1.5 days of battery. There needs to be a middle ground where I can still run some apps like alarm/timer/watch and have the battery last around 10 day. I do not care how many steps I walked, I would prefer better battery life. The GPS is terrible. I have gone for multiple runs outdoors over an hour long and the gps never stops blinking (indicating it never found my position). I am running in the suburbs with no large buildings so there is no excuse why it would take over an hour to get a gps lock. The few times I've gotten the gps to track my position while running it is far less accurate than my garmin. The total distance and pace are pretty accurate but the gps map is not great (even with high accuracy on). It will also often lose the signal intermittently during my run resulting in a bunch of zig-zig diagonal lines. When using the samgung health app to track your runs with gps, bluetooth music, & heart rate monitor on expect about 4 hours of battery life. I literally would not be able to use this watch the next time I run a marathon. On the plus side it does like very nice and it has all the features you'd want in a smart watch. It just happens to be a really bad fitness watch.

    I purchased this for my wife and she loves it. After much research looking for the perfect fitness smart watch she settled on this one. The number one feature she was looking for was the ability to download music and stream it to a Bluetooth headset for use while jogging. This handles that task perfectly. No more carrying around a phone! My only complaint is that GPS can be spotty at times and is not always accurate. We run side by side and my Garmin Fenix is by far the more accurate device. Otherwise, this is a great product at a great price point.
