    Does what I need it to. It's a bit laggy and isn't super responsive, but the only thing I mainly use it for is notification from my phone and checking the time. The battery lasts a full day for me. It's a good watch.

    Whatever you think your battery life is going to be, cut it in half and that's the most likely estimate for your longevity. The watch runs slowly, the screen responds poorly, and the battery dies immediately. This is the worst Samsung product I've ever gotten.

    Can't use it to track sleep because you have to charge the battery every night! The only reason i wouldn't recommend it to others is because of the battery life. But if you don't have an issue with charging it every night then yes.
