    Battery died within a month, had to send to Samsung for repairs. It works well but not as well as other brands.

    Samsung makes your wrist friend feel like family. You charge it every couple days and it's always there for you. I love my wrist friend. One day we will be wrist family.

    Just an okay device. No ECG.

    Overall, just an OK watch. It loses it's "new toy" appeal pretty quickly. Samsung sales people will say the watch has ECG (heart rhythm monitoring, different from heart rate) like the Apple Watch, but it doesn't. The watch doesn't turn on when you make the corresponding gestures, which is frustrating. The screen doesn't stay on a specific app while I'm working out, so I'm constantly tapping buttons to see time, performance stats, etc. It's great for steps, heart rate, stress management, but many devices can do these basics for far less money.

    I have bought the cheaper sport watches and they were horrible. They either didn't work properly or were not accurate. This watch does everything I want it to do and more.

    I was not sure about the round face, this has been a easy transition getting used to it. The watch is very light weight also the feel of watch band very soft and comfortable.

    They were gifts for my great nieces who turned 18 and graduated the same month. I wanted something special, memorable, that they would use. They loved them.

    ... as I have already Samsung Gear S2 and Samsung Fit2, and this one didn't give me much new for the money. But if I wouldn't have the others already, I would have been very happy with it.

    I loved this watch but wasn't a big fan of their app. I ended up returning it for a fitbit versa. The watch was awesome though. I wish they would spend more time on their UI.

    I bought this when my galaxy gear s2 finally died. It has been great! It lasts an average of 2 days and monitors my stress levels along with my steps and a million other things.
