    I live this watch! I didn't get the first version because they didn't make a big enough size but this is perfect! I have the Gear S3 and it's great. but I love the smoothness and slickness of this watch. Not as bulky as the Gear S3. I use the Gear S3 for work since I work in maintenance and it gets beat up and us this one when I'm not at work. Awesome!

    I would give 5 stars except for the fact that Samsung did not roll out the Blood Pressure app they promised for release in 4th qtr 2020. Battery endurance is acceptable at 2.5 days before needing a recharge. When placed correctly the heart rate monitor is pretty accurate, a nice feature. The apps interface between the phone and the watch are seamless. Water resistant is a plus. Let's have the BP app!

    I'm glad I bought it but the Samsung software could be better. For example, why can't the watch tell the difference from when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV and actually sleeping. Also, the heartbeat monitor sometimes lags while I'm working out at the gym. The watchband is designed for someone who weighs 500 pounds. I'm 6 foot 1 210 pound and I use the 3rd notch on the band out of 10.... Makes no sense.

    Bought to replace an old smartwatch and am extremely pleased. Easy to set and up and make adjustments to the settings. Have worn a couple of times now since I received it and have averaged about 10 percent of battery used per 8 hours of actual use. If anything just wish would do a more contemporary square version but that's no big deal either way..

    Bought as a present for my daughter. This is the second one she bought the first one. Has better features than the first one with speaker so you can make calls and text message. Beautiful design, large face and long battery life. More features to try and experience. Water proof features as well. Definitely worth the price!!

    I expected more out of smartwatches especially Samsung. Bixby is redundant. Not compatible with Android/Google Wear. Some minor issues still not resolved with Spotify connectivity. But it's good overall. Continuous Heart Rate monitor is really good but sometimes sleep isn't recorded properly. The watch can be a lot better. It has the capability but Samsung got lazy with it. Best Buy curbside pickup however, 4.5 stars!

    my new samsung watch has been great change from the fitbit I have worn for years. It is stylish and had more options than fitbit. The only complaints that I have is that the band is too large. My band was labeled small to medium. I had to replace it on Day 1 because it was way too large. Also, the free watch faces through the app do not give me selections for all of the data that I would like on display.

    This is an excellent wearable as a smartwatch and fitness tracker. Very accurate in terms of counting steps and heart rate and has various functions. This smartwatch makes it very useful to directly answer calls and respond to texts from the watch itself. I bought the 44mm cloud silver version which I love. Having 6.3 inch wrist the strap is comfortable fit. Battery life it performs ok I am able to get almost 2 full days before charging.

    I had previously own Fitbit for many years. I wanted something that did more for the price. I made the best Investment ever. I don't know why I didn't buy this sooner. I love the fact that I can text from my watch and that I can make and accept calls through it also. It's the closest thing to an Apple watch. You won't regret it.

    I did give it 5 stars and honestly it deserves it. This is not a $700 garmin. It was 200 on sale. The only complaint I have is the battery is not as long lasting as it claims to be, but it's not terrible either. As far as the date when I purchased this, it was for myself so this is after 1 month of use.

    This watch works perfectly with my Samsung note 20. They battery life is twice that of my Apple Watch. It can go 2 days easy for me. I read and send text. I can see all calls and answer them if I want. I love that I can cover my hand over the watch to silence the call. The screen is very bright and clear.

    If your looking to be a little more health conscious this watch can help. It also has a beautiful screen and the fitness tracker directly links to Samsung health on your phone. Also the sleep tracker is great. I only advise getting a new strap as the one that comes with is not breathable. Sweat tends to built up under it.

    Got this for my wife, and she has been really happy with it, its amazing how it tracks your steps and how it automatically detects workout or activity, it did sync automatically just getting it close ti her phone, which was really cool, no problem at all and really easy to use, battery last between 3 to 4 days.

    I had the The original S2 watch for years and it worked well. This one even though similar, is completely different. Battery life lasts 3 times longer and chargers twice as fast. The texting interface is years ahead of the competition and being able to use it as a blue tooth device and talk through it for phone calls is awesome.

    I was looking for a watch that works well as far as customization and keeping track of my steps and sleep, heartbeat etc. Also for keeping tracking of my steps for Virgin Pulse. I tried the Versa 2 and returned it for this watch instead because I needed a better charger. The charger for this watch is much nicer. you just lay it on the charger and it's magnetized so it won't detach or fall as easily I also own a Samsung phone, so the software was easy to get to work together. My alarm goes off on my phone and watch, phone calls, messages and notifications. The watch band isn't the greatest. I do not like the tuck under design of the band. Not really a good design as I have a lot of hair on my rist and it pulls my hair when I put the band underneath itself. The android app on my phone that pulls the data off the watch for sleep, steps, and heartbeat could use some work. The sleep tracking is pretty much on par with the fitbit, but the steps is lacking info. They show a chart or bar graph for steps with no info on how many steps were achieved that hour. The fitbit was more detailed in this area. The heart rate graph is the same but at least has some lines going across to give you some idea of how high it was but still not details like the fitbit. This keeps track of steps for Virgin Pulse but sadly not the sleep data. This could be Virgin Pulse or Samsung. no idea. The fitbit did pull the sleep data for Virgin Pulse. I took one star off because the software on Android definitely needs improvement on their charts. It's an easy fix but it's just not there at this time.

    It's a really well made watch, it's comfortable on. But it's just not for me. I'm just personally more of a fitbit. I had a apple watch, Michael khors, moto 360, and now Samsung. Fitbit just does it for me. I don't need all the extras. Very nice watch though. Nothing wrong with the product itself. It's not you, it's me.

    Purchased the 40mm for myself and the 44mm for my husband. these watches are awesome. Love not having to pull phone out everytime for texts, calls, emails. The speaker and mic work fabulously and the battery lasts all day, even with constant use of multiple apps. I'm still learning all the features, but so far, no complaints.
