    Great hardware. Software is smooth but bloated. Samsung loads their devices with unremovable apps and services that nobody wants. Samsung's watches are really the only smartwatches that are comparable to Apple's latest.

    This watch I liked in the beginning, but it is very bulky and I kept hitting it up against the wall then I decided to purchase the Samsung active to which I absolutely love.

    I love the Samsung smartwatches. This is my second one. It does everything as my Gear S3 and more. Now I can track my swimming exercises while wearing it.

    I've had this watch for a day and love it, however it doesn't do the main thing I need it to do. I am a diabetic with a continuous glucose monitor. My phone has constant glucose readings in the notification bar but I cannot get them on the watch unless my reading is at an alert level. I've heard of people using other apps that allow you to have readings on the main screen. It's still a watch that looks beautiful. I do not want everyone to know my glucose when I move my wrist. It would be super helpful to have the ability to check my glucose at work without having to pull out my phone. I've contacted Samsung about this but I doubt they will be able to fix this. And for these reasons it will be going back to the store.

    Bought this for my wife and she loves it. Her phone can be in her purse and she can still check messages email and make calls. She says it's very simple to use which is a plus.

    I bought this watch for my boyfriend and it's held up very nicely. No issues in the past year and a half that he has owned it, and he uses it on the daily.

    This watch was a gift for my birthday and I use it to keep track of my heart rate and messages while at work. It's very accurate and convenient. The build could be lighter and more woman fit friendly. I would buy a sleeker design if it was available.

    Love, love love this watch. Does everything I need. Only recommendation is offering more band selections. Im not a big fan of the one it comes with. I'll be shopping for bands next.

    This watch has excellent build quality and comes with many features. Tizen OS doesn't have a lot of standard apps, but there are good alternatives on the store.

    Great watch never been a samsung fan but this A+ from me. Never would have thought a smart watch would be useful then I got it and now I hardly use my phone. Love this watch and use it every day. Only con I find with it is the battery life is not as advertised.

    Was thinking about if I need a smartwatch but went for it. Being able to not have to get up to check phone when it is charging makes it worth it. It is like a second phone.

    Got it as a gift for my wife. She likes it, it's just it has strange tracking. For instance she's at class and the watch tells her she's been sleeping for 9 hours

    I just got this watch on 6/9/19 after a few days of using this the battery life is a joke. It runs down so quickly that I charge at least twice a day to get a good charge. I will have to return

    My mom got this watch abs had trouble figuring it out at first. Had hard time figuring out how to get it to stop reading the weather and news out loud at random times. Instructions manual was very vague. Once we got it figured out, overall good watch.
