    The main reason I got this watch was so I could get my messages while at work when my phone is not with me. I finally got it to connect for a couple weeks and it worked great. Now it will not connect at work. And at home it doesn't connect automatically, because it still says its trying to connect to my work wifi.

    Purchased 4/24/20, by 9/17/20 back cover gasket wore off exposing inside of watch. Purchased this because I thought it would be better than Fitbit smart watch that I loved but stopped working after a year. Wish I just purchased another Fitbit

    I told the sales representative I looking for a watch that you can check emails,text,and talk on it. She explains this was the watch. When I got home it couldn't do all three. I realized she didn't care what people asked for so I returned the watch went to another store and got what I wanted and was very satisfied.

    This product stopped working 17 days after I received it, BUT Best Buy's return policy is 15 days (ridiculous) so I could not return or exchange it. Now I am trying to deal w/Samsung which turned out to be a complete hassle

    Watch stopped working. It just went black and wouldn't restart even after charging. It was not at all intuitive what the various symbols represent, so it was hard to fully use it. Now I know why there were about 8 open boxes in the store. I can't recommend this product at all.

    This watch was beautiful and I had to have it. The worst experience ever! So totally not user friendly. Sucks the life out of the battery in a day. Totally one of the biggest disappointments I have had in a long time. If I could give it minus stars I would.
