Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far I've loved my watch. Its wonderful. The reach to my phone is far enough that I dont need to worry about on BT (I dont have the lte on yet) and can make calls and text when I need to. The workout functions are spot on and is super helpful too. Basically it does everything I need. The silsilicon strap was annoying and so I replaced it with a magnetic one that works way better. The silicone trapped water or would get sweaty and made my wrist break out.... also recently with a new update I keep getting a notification that says spotify is draining my battery, however, it was never running at all, not even in the background so I uninstalled it and then it still sent the same notification. So I think theres a bug in the recent update. Cant find any solution online yet and havent contacted cs yet. But it's not really a terrible thing, just an annoying notification.

I love it this watch! I bought one, but wasn’t the LTE, and as I use the cellphone a lot, frequently My battery turned off so, I changed my watch for LTE version!

My samsung watch gives me the freedom of leaving my phone at home if I need to. In my case I can't have my phone on me when I meet with clients. I know feel comfortable with leaving my phone in another office and having the capability of texts. Emails and or calls especially with children

The product is great. And the better way is the price..!!

I purchase this watch for my wife a couple of years ago. The stand-alone calling feature came in handy more than once. Needless to say the watch is still a beautiful utility. I customized the bezel and band, making this timepiece, timeless to say the least. Thanks Best Buy :)

This watch does everything that I need. I don’t have to carry my phone with me everywhere, I can check my messages, call someone, check calendar, set alarm. It’s beautiful! All I can say is I love this watch!

I have the 40 mm blue silver one. I had to buy this black one 42mm for my husband. They're very light and comfortable. He stopped wearing his Frontier 46mm smartwatch. I don't wear my other smartwatches since this is such a very good everyday watch for work and especially love to work out with it.

I'm glad I bought this watch because I use it for the gym I tracks everything when someone calls me the voice Is clear and good I love this watch wouldn't trade it for anything else!!!

Really love this watch. This is my 2nd smart watch and it's awesome. I love the face swivel function that gets you to your apps quickly! Would definitely recommend this watch!

The best thing i ever have to my self andbto my health, so happy, thankful.

Love my watch it gives me the freedom to go about my everyday life without having to pack my phone with me.

this smart watch is the best I have ever seen, it's amazing how it keeps me going from day to day.

I'm in love with the Galaxy watch. I bought the Galaxy Watch 42mm Bluetooth + LTE about 2 weeks ago and it replaced my Samsung Gear S2 watch. What an upgrade! The Galaxy watch is so much better. The improvements they've made since the S2 makes the Galaxy watch a must have for any Samsung phone or Android user. The first thing I like about the Galaxy watch over the S2 is the improvement to the the watch band. The S2 had this slide clasp thing that attached the band to the watch and it was horrible! The band would randomly fall off. The new Galaxy watch has a standard roll pin design, but with a quick release, which makes changing the bands a breeze, and they don't fall off! The battery life is really good too. I've been getting about 2 days on a single charge, and that's with very heavy usage. My S2 watch didn't even last a day. So great improvement on the battery life. The user interface tizen is pretty good and simple to navigate. I would like to see Android Wear running on it, but with the new One UI update for the Galaxy watch it makes the experience even better. It shows Samsung is listening to their users and that they are going forward with their "one UI" platform across all their devices. One of the best things about the Samsung Galaxy Watch is the crazy amount of watch faces you can get in the Galaxy app store. There are so many different watch faces that you can find the look and feel you want for any occasion, outfit, or mood. I'm a "Samsung fanboy" so I own the Samsung Note 9 phone, Galaxy watch, and Galaxy buds. The thing I love the most is how seemless they all work and communicate with each other. If I'm in a hurry, rush out the door without my phone, it's nice that don't miss a call, or text. With the LTE feature I don't miss an important call or text. Speaking of texting, that's the only small complaint I have about the Galaxy watch, texting on the watch can be a little tedious, and challenging at times. But it does have the speech to text feature which works pretty well for the most part. I wish it had Google assistant instead of bixby but bixby is slowly getting better, but I think it still needs a lot of work. Calls on the Galaxy watch are surprisingly very good. The speaker is plenty loud enough to hear in an out door environment and the microphone seem to work well too as the people I've talked to had no problems understanding and hearing me. One of the biggest features I like about the watch is water lock mode or the water Eject option. If you wash your hands, go swimming, or take a shower with your watch on and water gets inside the speaker port and sounds muffled, you use the water Eject option and it plays a series of tones, beeps, and other sounds to vibrate the water out. It actually works very very well! An awesome feature! The Galaxy watch comes with 2 size bands, small and a large. For me the small fits the best. It's comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Their are some really good 3rd party watch bands too if you want a different look other than the stock ones. But I think the stock ones are very well made and comfortable. The watch itself is sturdy and seems to take a beating pretty good. I work in a rough environment and I bump my watch all the time on steel and so far it's not even scratched. Compared to my old S2, the Galaxy watch doesn't seem to scratch as easy as the S2 did. The rotating bezel is what makes the Galaxy watch the most amazing and easiest smart watch to navigate. Samsung took an existing part of a watch and gave it a smart and very useful function. Using the rotating bezal to navigate through menus, scroll through texts, ect just feels natural, and the way a smart watch should function. The Samsung Galaxy Watch also has a very good fitness/health tracker. I really didn't think it would be a feature I'd ever use or enjoy but I have to say I like seeing how many steps I've taken and try to out do my step count the next day. I'm averaging about 18,000 steps a day. I also enjoy that if I've been sitting watching TV too long it will alert me and remind me that I've been "too lazy for too long". It reminds me to get up, stretch, and move around which has helped my joints in my legs not be so stiff. Another nice feature is the sleep tracking. It keeps track of how much sleep you've gotten each night. It even knows when your in a deep (rem) sleep by checking your heart rate or something like that. I don't know how it all works, which is the beauty. You don't have to know, it just does it! So if you're looking for a smart watch loaded with useful features, the Samsung Galaxy watch is a must. If I had to pick my number 1 favorite thing about owning the Galaxy watch, it's that I don't have to pull my phone out of my pocket at work to read, or reply to a text message. The Samsung Galaxy Watch is a stunning looking, work horse, loaded with helpful and useful features. It's a great addition to add to your Samsung eco system. I'm enjoying this watch and if I lost it today I'd have to run out and buy another one the same day. I don't think I could live without my Samsung Galaxy Watch. To put it simple, it's become an important part of me. It's like I was born with it in my wrist and it looks amazing too!

I absolutely love the Samsung Galaxy Watch 42mm Stainless Steel LTE (Midnight Black), and honestly—I wish Samsung still made this exact model. This watch struck the perfect balance between classic watch design and modern smartwatch functionality. The stainless steel body and Midnight Black finish gave it a premium, timeless look that worked just as well with a suit as it did in the gym. It didn’t scream “tech gadget”—it looked like a real watch, which is something many newer smartwatches still struggle to achieve. The rotating bezel was (and still is) one of Samsung’s best design decisions. It was intuitive, satisfying to use, and far superior to constant screen tapping—especially during workouts or when your hands weren’t perfectly clean or dry. Once you’ve used a Galaxy Watch with a rotating bezel, it’s hard to go back. The LTE (unlocked) capability made this watch incredibly freeing. Being able to leave my phone behind and still take calls, receive texts, stream music, and track workouts felt ahead of its time—and even today, it holds up remarkably well. For runs, errands, or travel, it delivered true independence. Performance was smooth, battery life was dependable, and the health tracking (heart rate, workouts, steps, sleep) was solid without feeling overwhelming. It did what you needed it to do—and did it well. Most importantly, this watch had character. It felt intentional. It felt durable. It felt like Samsung built it to last, not just to be replaced by the next annual model. If Samsung ever brought this exact design back—with modern internals—it would be an instant buy for me. Until then, the Galaxy Watch 42mm Stainless Steel LTE remains one of the best smartwatches I’ve ever owned and a true standout in Samsung’s lineup. Samsung, please bring this one back.

I love it! I purchased in December, the last one the Mankato, MN store had! I was so excited! I learned very quickly turn off bezzle and any of the other types of turning on the watch that aren't the buttons to save battery. But with the recent heat wave I had a little problem, the "glass" on the back of the watch came off because the glue holding it on melted and it won't stay on now! I'm thankful I got the replacement plan and I'm hoping it's a defect from mass production.

I love my watch. It is very easy to use and very stylish.

Love this watch. Does everything I want it to in teams of calls,texts and tracking steps etc yet super stylish and looks good with any outfit. One complaint, from day 1 it only lasted 8 hours on a full charge and I hardly used it. Ultimately had to reset it completely but that solved the problem and it now lasts nearly 2 full days!

Absolutely love this watch - I have the LTE version and if you really plan to wear it and use it, I recommend this one versus Bluetooth alone. Obviously, to me at least, it should only be paired with a Samsung Galaxy device. Yes, I gather it works with other Android phones and even iOS phones, but you won't get all the functionality and then what's the point. If I am not "dressed-up" for a work function or whatnot, I wear it a lot and have found the battery life to be excellent. This includes having BT on all day, a ton of notifications, sending out short messages and even taking and making phone calls on it. I have the Wi Fi setting to mirror my phone, meaning it goes on and off depending on where I am and what network I am connected too. I always leave the cellular functionality on and have the screen time off after 30 seconds. Other things I love about this watch, when I play golf I leave my phone in the cart and out of the way. I not only use the watch for GPS distances and all the daily notifications, but loaded about 100 or so songs directly on the watch. Then the watch is paired with my Galaxy Buds and if I am playing a quick round by myself, I have music on as well. I play tennis with it and living in So Florida, it is hot and I sweat like mad. Never had an issue with the watch telling me it is too hot and needs to shut down. Just rinse it off and keep enjoying it. I don't go nuts with some of the Samsung apps, but once in a while will check my heart rate and steps, etc. Even the heart rate seems to be spot on as I did it when waiting for a physical and it came back fairly close to the Dr's equipment measurement. Takes a second to switch out bands, etc. The only thing I would say is spend the time to set it up properly, meaning remove the apps you don't want on it, re-order things, hide apps you can't delete, etc. I have a few widgets set up, a simple turn of the bezel and there they are. I also have certain types of notifications silenced on the watch versus the phone. I previously had the Apple Watch with LTE and barely used it. Battery life was awful and its connection to the phone via BT wasn't very strong. As a watch guy, I also don't love the look of it. My teenage sons use the same watch, but without LTE and also comment on how much more use they get out of it versus Apple Watches. I am not dumping on Apple, was a long time iPhone user, just wanted a change and happen to think the Galaxy S10 is the best phone I've ever had. Finally, I also looked at Samsung's new Galaxy Active with LTE, but the lack of the rotating bezel was a deal breaker for me. It is not only incredibly intuitive to use, I find it also protects the screen from dings and nicks. Anyway, that's my two cents on the Galaxy Watch 42mm LTE version. Thanks.

I've had many smart watches to date & this is by far one of the best ones .. aside from functionality, the most important thing to me is battery life and this one can go 2-3 days when fully charged. As far as elegance, I still like my Apple Watch 3 but this one seems much more durable and fully water-proof. If you're going with this watch, go with the 42 mm ones since it has a much better battery life and even if you don't need the LTE, you should still choose it since it's faster and has double the RAM (1.5GB). Overall this is a bulky watch so if you have an iPhone, then go with Apple Watch, if you want a purely activity watch, go with Fitbit Versa or Garmin Vivoactive 3 (they're both great watches) but if you want a durable everyday smart watch, then go with this and you won't have to worry about dang or drops.

Purchased the Galaxy Watch for my wife as a late Christmas present since no one had the rose gold LTE watch in stock. Wife loves it. We are T-Mobile customers so we had no problem setting the watch up to be able to make calls without the phone, took less than 5 minutes with T-Mobile tech support. Wouldn't even have needed them if instructions were a little clearer in setting watch up. We had one of the setting wrong on the phone which the tech found quickly. Definitely recommend it.
