    This watch is great. Its still runs as of 1/6/2021. Purchased way back in 2019. Comfortable enough and does what I want it to.

    Love it...though as previously stated, the battery should last longer....it does not hold the charge very long...sometimes it "konks" out in the middle of the day.

    Beautiful watch that has all the features of the Galaxy S2, but more refined and elegant for a female wrist. It was a gift, and the owner still loves it.

    I really don't have much to say about this product; it's the first smartwatch I own and I've used and abused it, and it has stuck through all of it with no issues. I use it for work, I use it underwater when snorkeling or swimming, and I use it when I'm out in the wilderness. Sure, it has it's signs of wear by now but it definitely just gives it character. I also have about three or four different bands (non-OEM) I swap out depending on the mood/color I'm feeling.

    This is a great watch with a great variety of functions. Battery needs to be charged almost daily though because of the colors, amount of functions...

    I have never had a Smart Watch before. I wanted one to use for my Samsung Health APP on my Samsung Android phone so I did not have to have my phone with me all the time when working out or just running or mostly swimming. A skeptic no more. It works flawlessly and really is waterproof. I have used it everyday swimming and was a bit nervous about it in the water. I have the Geek Squad protection so not concerned about replacement issues. All way get the Geek Squad protection for anything you buy from them.

    I was fairly happy with this watch for the 4 months I've worn it, but the back fell off! This will make it non-water resistant. Hopefully, it didn't get damage when it was on my sweaty wrist all morning. I'm sure if I had been swimming, it would be DOA. I googled the issue and it seems that it is a common problem and should be recalled. Glad that I bought the Product Protection but can't access it. No Geek Squad Appointments available in my area.

    I purchased this after my Gearfit2 screen went dead. Prior to that, I owner the Gearfit which also had issues after about a year of owning it. Needless to say, I have not been overly impressed with the quality of the Samsung watches. I should say that I try to be pretty gentle with them - even removing my watch when I shower despite the fact that they are supposed to be water resistant. The Galaxy watch is larger and heavier than my previous GearFit2 and I hope that means it is more durable. I definitely like the larger screen size and the watch has worked perfectly so far.

    Very light and nice as a birthday gift. However, the battery only last a few days. Charging every couple days is a drag...
