    Attractive But Fails for Fitness

    I bought the watch to replace my Fitbit Versa. I have a Samsung phone, so it would be nice to have a more integrated/capable smartwatch. This one can easily find my phone, I can charge it off the back of my phone, easier to review emails/texts. Plus, I like the circular design of the watch and that is smaller and lighter. The green color looks distinctive in person while remaining classy and not overbearing. With Samsung's seeming revamp of its health/fitness, I decided to get it a go. However, the fitness tracking on this watch is awful. Chiefly, the sleep tracking. It does not accurately record when you wake up, so that if you tend to linger in bed and do work on your PC or browse using your phone, then it still considers you ASLEEP. It records it as "Light Sleep". Worse, you cannot edit your sleep stats in the Samsung Health app, so you're just left with inaccurate stats. And this is supposed to be their more fitness-oriented watch? For this alone, it only gets 2 stars; it doesn't matter how well it does anything else. Also, the app hijacks your notification options for things like emails and texts. On my phone, my email notifiations will let me mark as red, flag, or delete. Those options are stripped from the Watch in favor of weird "auto replies" like "ok" or EMOJI. Who is replying with a smiley face emoji to an EMAIL???

    The watch features are great and it does many things. I think because of this the battery gets drained so quickly. I've tried minimizing notifications, but that doesn't make any difference. Power saving mode is the only way to get it through. Cannot track sleep, though, because it needs to charge for the next day.
