    I switched from an Apple Watch and like the Samsung much more. It's all a matter of preference though. I like the round face and this has the features I want. I get notices of email, text messages, Facebook posts, etc. It counts my steps and gives reminders to move throughout the day. It works great with my Galaxy Note 9.

    Great to have while at the gym! I love that I can track my workouts and calories right from my wrist. The battery life is pretty good. I'll wear it from about 5am-9pm and the battery will be around 70% or so.

    I’ve had both Apple Watch and this Samsung watch. I gotta say that this one is by far more better. Love tracking my exercise during the day and how the heart beats picks it up very quick. Works great with galaxy watch.

    Originally I wanted an older version but this was on sale. Once I tried it on and looked over the specs, this was it. I have a galaxy phone so this seemed like a great option. Battery only lasts about 4 days with my use. I keep the heart rate tracker on 24/7 and usually answer texts and track sleep also. I have worn swimming once and have had no issues. Was easy to pair and works well with the phone. I can be a pretty good distance from the phone and still see texts. I will put in night mode during sleep or to save battery since small moves will wake it up. Calls are hard to hear if it's not quiet around but I really do not use it for that. Overall a great look, compatible with normal watch bands and fits my needs.

    I used the Apple Watch series 3 for years. Decided to switch to this since it’s compatible with IOS. Overall completely better than the Apple Watch. Very nice looking and way more customizable watch faces.

    This definitely isn't something that I would have bought myself if I hadn't had a gift card to cover it. It's not something that I needed or necessarily wanted but I do feel like the cool kids now. I traded in a fit bit for part of the purchase because I wanted something that was not just for fitness but also text and phone notifications and responses (more than what the fit bit can do). I have the samsung phone so this is a great companion for it. So far everything is working together great and syncing like it's supposed to. I use Endomondo sports tracking and the samsung health app and both sync as they're supposed to. You can get notifications about your steps, sleep patterns, and certain other apps on your phone that you want like news updates. It takes a little playing around to figure out all the settings and get the things on there that you want but it's functionality is great. I do wish the battery lasted a little longer but maybe I'm just wanting too much. The most I've gotten on a full charge is 3 days.

    Works very well connected to my Samsung phone. Very customizable. Customizable alert option. With my phone within range I can answer phone calls! Other options work via WiFi when my phone is out of range. Phone calls might but I'm not sure. Decent battery life with options to reserve battery power for days and days by limiting options and display colors. Nice when running low on power. Lots of add-on apps. Wireless charging only. I don't like yet another proprietary charging method for my devices but it works well and is easy to use. The wireless charger is powered by standard usb cable and wall adapter. Time will tell how long the useful life of the battery will be. My old 'Fit' watch only lasted a year.

    I purchased the watch mainly to listen to music at work. Spotify absolutely kills the battery. I get about 2 or 3 hours of listening time and then it's done. On days where I'm mainly checking fb or responding to text messages on it, I can stretch it to a good 6 to 8 hours. Work days where I dont mess too much with it, it can easily last 2 days. I love the fact that it monitors the lack of sleep that I get as well as other things, even down to the cups of caffeine you have had. I never had an issue with it connecting to my bluetooth ear buds (even the cheap ones from ebay). There are quite a few times where my spotify will stop working but I feel that has more to do with the software and wifi connection. Call quality is as good as it gets for a watch. It's clear enough and definitely a handy feature. I did have an issue before where it stopped automatically connecting to wifi and I wasnt receiving text messages. I deleted the app and reset my watch and haven't had the issue again.

    This is my first smartwatch and I don't have any regrets getting this one. Gets the job done, you can answer text messages and calls which is great. Battery life is excellent, good for 3-4 days not bad.

    Love the color. Looks great. Works good. Able to take calls directly from watch, see/send texts, get emails, timers, calendar notices, etc. Just great convenience. 4 star because speech to text is not accurate & long delays. Battery life ok, used to be better before they did updates on it.

    Excellent watch, my wife loves it. The Gear S3 was too large and more for men. The Gold Rose Gear watch was the perfect watch for my wife. The only reason I didnt score it a 5 star was because Samsung removed the ability to pay at any terminal. It now only works with NFC payment systems.

    Beautiful watch, definitely the most stylish in the market! Very easy to use and learn. I purchased it for my mother who is not the most tech savvy, and it only took me 10-15 minutes to teach her the basics of the watch and how it worked. She really likes it and wears it daily.

    Bought the Samsung instead of a Michael Khors for my wife due to the battery life being better, as well as added features when paired with a Samsung cell phone. I couldn't be happier with the decision.

    The Galaxy watch 42MM stainless steel midnight black is such a stylish watch, that not only looks great but packs a punch in performance. Even though for being an earlier model this watch has been a great experience. When it comes to watch it's all about accessory and the midnight black is such a perfect tone of colour for this watch in feels amazing to wear. With the always on display on, the watch can easily take you throughout the day. Anymore in battery usage would probably not reached the end of day. For example, Using spotify to connect to your wireless earbuds, Would drain your battery tremendously.
