    My wife had a fitbit, and i bought her the new Rose Gold Gear. Score, right? No, she noticed she wasn't getting as many steps as she normally does, as a teacher. Wore the fit bit at same time, gear watch is significantly and repeatedly off by a couple thousand steps. In some cases, the pedometer seems stuck and does not even work....

    Only had the watch 3 days and took it back. It wasn't comfortable at all and I tried to wear it in 3 different spots. After the first couple of hours of wearing it when I took it off my wrist hurt so bad I could I could nearly move it because the watch is so big.

    Beautiful, Impressive Smart Watch

    Posted .

    I have the galaxy 42mm black smart watch and I love it. The size is perfect, and it looks and functions great. In recent years I’ve had a 38mm Apple Watch, a Gear S3 Classic (too big at 46mm), and a 38mm Citizen EcoDrive—the 42mm Galaxy is easily the watch I like the best. It looks as good as the analog Eco Drive and has all the functions and more of the Apple Watch, while being faster, better looking, and a better size than the S3. I paired this with my iPhone and it does everything my Apple Watch did and more, but with a much better, more stylish and attractive look. It is a quality watch with a nice, solid build (it feels a lot more solid to me than the S3 Classic). Everything works great and fast: heart rate, calories, music controls, weather, step counter, etc. Another huge selling point that elevates this watch above the Apple Watch are the watch faces. The Galaxy watch has a lot of beautiful faces—it comes with 10 or 12 preloaded and there’s probably 4 of them I’d be happy to use, a couple that I love, and all of them are better than the 14 or 16 total Apple Watch faces. I used the Mickey Mouse face on my Apple Watch—not because I liked it, but because I really disliked all the rest of the very small number of choices. The pre-installed Galaxy faces are all better, and I actually love the default face, but if I didn’t there are thousands of faces available (unlike the Apple Watch). The battery seems really good as well: I’ve been using the heck out of my Galaxy since picking it up early yesterday (about 36 hours ago), haven’t turned anything off or done anything to extend battery life, haven’t charged it yet, and I’m still at 47% power. I should easily get a couple days of normal use between charges and could probably push it farther.
