    Love the watch. It's the perfect size and not too bulky for my small wrist. Although waterproof I havent tested it underwater. Convenient when responding to messages and unable to get to phone

    Easy to use, very helpful info. Very quick charge, battery with watch on about 48 hrs. Bright, easy to read. Very pleased, cost more but a lot of helpful info for the cost.

    Was super excited to get this watch after Apple failed to be able to track my cycling activity. This watch does that easily and I love the look and ease of use, viewing texts, picking up calls, but no hopes to wear it for a full day or overnight as the battery life is not capable. I have made sure multiple apps are.not running but yet...still lasts barely throughout the day. My husband and daughter have Garmin brand and I would look at those if you want a watch to truly track your activity.

    My wife loves this watch. Good for daily use, and has many features that are easy to integrate with smartphones. The battery is the negative, she has to charge it every night.

    Great little watch, worked well for the time that I used it. Couldn't quite get the hang of the workout function, and the band was a little annoying, but there are plenty of available apps to help you choose which options for working out are best for you, and there are so many different bands on the market that it's not that big of a deal. I do wish it had a beefier bezel on it, as it chips and or scratches pretty easily without a protective sleeve, and it gets pretty gunky and gross during a workout pretty quickly.

    Love it. Had a Samsung before, but this one has truly changed for the better - lots of new tech. It was a great price on your Early Black Friday sale this past week.

    I love this watch. It is everything I wanted and more. Love that it is waterproof. Only downside is have to charge it every 1.5-2 days depending on how often I use it and what I use it for.

    Moving from the previous Gen to this one, this is finally the way the active watch should be. I love free he size and Samsung hit the nail on the head with this version of the OS.

    I like it and it does all I need except... Band it comes with is not breathable. The exercise options are good but lacks detailed interval trainer. Battery can drain fast on default settings.
