    Perfect size for the ladies and very nice features. The only thing lacking is the ability to use it as a phone IF that is a priority.

    It's not just a smartwatch it's

    Bixby sometimes turns on by itself. Disconnects bluetooth from device despite being in close proximity. Calendar doesn't update the events, ever! Multiple apps on phone for this and downloads. It's not just a smartwatch. It's your phone and the watch. Marks steps even if you don't move. Sits pretty on your wrist. Multiple theme choices. I just dislike it and not worth the price. I expected more from this.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I got this to connect to my iPhone do I don’t have all the features but the features I do have work great! The battery life on this thing is insane. It stays powered for almost 2 days! I even have always on display. It was a little bit difficult to set up but I figured it out eventually. I am switching to a Samsung later so getting this watch at a discount was a no brainier! I would have loved an Apple Watch SE but at such a low price, I couldn’t resist.

    I got this as a replacement for my Samsung Gear Fit because the band broke (again). This watch certainly has more features and looks more like a watch than the rectangular gear fit that reminds you of the original fit bit. The bands on this watch are interchangeable like a traditional watch and don't have the cheap plastic to break like the gear fit. Make sure you get the two year protection plan because I had two of the gear fits that broke and both times I got a brand new watch at no cost.

    I got this watch to keep track of my steps. It does so much more. It tells me about my sleep, my steps, exercise, my stress level, and much more. It even cheers me on, reminds me to move, and congratulates me when I reach a goal. On a recent car trip it noticed I hadn't moved and had me do some stretches that were easily completed in the car. I received many congratulations from my watch as I raced around Disneyland. It as also vibrates when I get too far from my phone and I rarely leave it on my desk now.

    I love this smart watch, if it didn't have what I was looking for I was able to download and add it. I love that it actually looks and feels like a watch not a step counter that doubles as a watch. I love the fact that if I ever get tired of the watch band I can switch it out with ease. I especially love the features of playing my music without touching my phone. I have compared it to what my friends have and I have recommended it to them and I know at least one person who is getting one as a gift.

    I love the galaxy watch but the battery only lasts about 1 1/2 days. I would think it was perfect if the battery lasted longer.
