    Bought it for my ex-girlfriend for Christmas. Thought it would last longer (the relationship) but things weren't meant to be. She loved the watch. I was impartial to the device - #appleguy. But I must say, it was a decent piece of hardware. If I were an Android user, I would have one of these. Not in rose gold though. It was on par with my Apple watch for the most part. Build quality was high and the user interface seemed pretty decent. If I owned it personally, probably would give it five stars. As it stands though, I had to knock off one star because: It's an Android product, and she left soon after. Not that she was out to get a free watch; the relationship ending was for the best. I just hate to see tech I paid for leave... Even if it is Android. If you are in the market for an Android compatible watch then I strongly suggest this make and model. If you are buying for a lover that potentially could leave at any minute, then seek alternatives. Perhaps a Timex from the clearance bin at Walmart. Nobody ever pined for a Timex. Except maybe those indiglo ones that were all the rage years ago. "Look, my whole watch face lights up in the dark!" How exciting. My only other complaint was that the watch seemed a bit bulky. But maybe that was just me.

    The watch was kind of cool. I ended up returning it because the heart rate monitor and sleep tracker did not work at all. They were giving me really high readings or none at all. The watch is ok. It is bulky which I did not like. The only thing I really liked about it was how you can respond to texts by drawing on the screen.

    Received this watch as a Christmas gift. My only complaints are that it is a little large for my small wrist and kinda heavy. Other than that though, I am loving it. Seems to track steps/exercise well. Love all the different free face options and customization. So far, so good!

    I love this watch. It took a little getting used to it because it is a bit bulky. I do not like the band that came with the watch. However, I purchased a metal band and I love it! I love that I can answer my texts and calls when I leave my phone in a different room.

    I love my Samsung smart watch, it does everything I want and a whole lot more. The best part, it that you can make and receive calls on the watch. So much better than a fitness based watch! A little bulky for a small women's wrist, but very attractive and you can swap out the bands to co-ordinate with any outfit.

    Not sure what to say about this watch other than it does EVERYTHING I could possibly want and need! Super easy to setup and customise. It is a little bulky but its ease of use more than makes up for it!

    Nice watch! A bit heavy but it seemed solidly built. A sensor failed and resets couldn't get it working again, but I enjoyed the watch when it functioned correctly

    Have not had the watch for very long and I have had no problems. It's a little heavy and takes a little time to get used to the weight. Other than the weight I love everything about the watch.

    I am really pleased with the watch. Limited on changing out the bands right now, due to how new the watch is....the only negative for me would be the round face and it's still a little heavy if you have a small wrist. Outside of that I like it a lot.

    First for the good, This is a pretty watch and has many personalized face setting you can change it to depending on your mood and has many apps you can load. Now the not so good, Watch is heavy and always slids to the side of my wrist. Does not track accurate steps and motion, I can be up moving around walking and it'll alert me that I have been inactive for an hour now and need to get up and move. And texting replies is not easy and if you "draw" your reply it is a sslllloooowwww drawn out process and saves each letter you write to your pictures.

    Great watch, love all the features. Love that they came out with a rose gold edition this time. Only thing is, that it is still very bulky in my opinion. Other than that i recommend it.

    I tried this watch on at the AT&T store, I loved the face, good quality and good looking watch. I have very thin wrist so it was heavy and I didn't read the reviews before I bought it. The only thing I can say about it is based on the look feel and weight as i did not open the box or test it out before I changed my mind on it. Very Bulky, heavy and has gotten bad reviews... which convinced me to return it. It feels like a mens watch..

    Although a bit bulky, I have quickly adjusted. It is great not to have my phone with me constantly. a square screen might be better for viewing texts.

    Bulky but cute. Decent functionality - hard to find quality straps in different colors and materials. A little cumbersome to use. Actions like sliding on the screen to close or turning the bezel isn't exactly user friendly. Works well with apple and samsung phones(actually works better with an iphone than a galaxy note) charges quickly, battery life not too good.
