    OK but not great

    Overall the watch is OK but not great. There are not the usual google apps (maps in particular). Text notifications come through but that isn't worth the price to me. Battery life is 18-24hrs but charging takes approximately 2hrs. The battery life to charging ratio made me return this watch. I ended up with a Garmin 645 Music (bought at $210) which has text, maps, and phone call notifications with a 7-10 day battery life (excluding GPS tracking). The Garmin 645 seems to do a better job tracking my activities and HR compared to the Samsung but I lost the AFib check.

    I am only giving this 4 stars because the battery life is not what I had hoped. I transitioned from a fitbit that didn't need a charge for like 4 days. But I like everything about this watch and it is very comfortable.

    This is my first smart watch and it is for sure my favorite toy at the moment. Light, elegant and easy to use. I can’t tell how reliable is all the info that it is providing, but I took the first number it gave me as a starting point and compare everything to that. It connects to my Note 10 with no problems, all text and phone calls come thru. I usually end up with battery at about 40-45% at the end of a day, but I had to turn off Facebook notifications as it was draining battery much faster. Overall I have no complaints, but it’s up to individual expectations.

    I owned the first version of this watch and loved it a lot. The second one is even better. It is essentially the same watch, but with many little improvements and cool things. For example an addition of the speaker, which lets you talk on the phone or use the sounding alarm (before it was silent). The touch on the screen feels better too on this version. Overall the functionality of this watch is perfect and it looks very stylish. I wear it to work every day with a suit, and change the 20mm straps once in a while. Highly recommended for every day use, and for working out, of course:)

    The watch is great and I love the color. I did not pay enough attention and did not get the one I wanted but this one will be fine. Ease of use gets a 4 because of my lack of knowledge not because it does not work.

    There are few glitches but in general, I am satisfied with the sleep and activity tracking along with the heart rate monitor. Soon, I hope that the blood pressure and ECG features will be available in US.

    This is a nice watch. I love the features. The drawback is the battery life. I have shut down some of the apps to prolong the battery life, but it barely lasts longer than a day and a half.
