    Wanted to like this watch. I had to return because the Samsung Health app was not as good as fitbit. The battery only lasted 2 days! My fitbit lasts 5 or 6. I will update my fitbit to the Versa 3.

    I liked the idea of this watch more than the actual watch. It doesn't always register a few functions, like average hours slept. I also sometimes done get notifications. Nice idea, didn't really come all together for me.

    great cool watch and looks so nice. It just you have to have all these apps to use it if you have an apple phone and then it still does not make it easy to connect everything.

    Voice Command Issue

    Look, I love the easiness of setting it up and using it bc its very convenient. However, I have literally NEVER been able to talk to someone through this watch, nor would talk-to-text or voice command options work properly. Everytime I would try, it would just do nothing. I tried resetting it and playi g around with the settings....everything....and nothing worked. Could just be that my watch specifically is defective possibly, idk, but that was definitely the entire reason for my purchase, so it definitely sucks. Won't purchase another one.

    I bought this watch and i returned it only for the mere fact that it was too small for my wrist and I did not like the look of it. But if you have smaller wrists and like a smaller watch face than this one is for you. If not get the 44mm one.

    This is a great watch but I have an iPhone therefore half the features doesn’t work for me. The representative in the store advised me incorrectly but Best Buy has an excellent return policy.

    Watch seems to lag often

    This watch lags when trying to initiate Bixby and takes a long time or just doesn’t work. The wrist gesture to get the screen to come on doesn’t work most of the time. Using voice to text lags a lot as well.

    Watch looks and feels nice. I bought this for my daughters 13th Birthday. Bought a Galaxy Tablet for Christmas. I figured the Galaxy family of items would be compatible. Not the case..The wearable app is not compatible with tablets. She was using a real old Fitbit that I use to use before I upgraded to a Galaxy Watch with no issues, thought I was getting her an upgrade. Wearable app just crashes when tapping connect during the initial setup. Go figure a Galaxy Watch not compatible with a Galaxy Tablet. Should have just purchased the Fitbit Versa 3.
