    After talking my wife into getting her first smartwatch she decided she liked this one the most. Having a Gear S3 Frontier and loving it I thought she had picked a good one. I never thought that it would change us the way it has. For one thing we've never been the competitive sort, now we find ourselves comparing our daily stats like it is a competition to get in the most steps. She never thought she would use many features available, but after watching the uses I have for mine she has explored apps and uses them almost every day. She has never said any of the things she thought she would, such as it being too big or that she doesn't use any of the features. She uses more than I do!

    Best Samsung Watch Yet

    I've had smart watches before and so far this is the best yet. As long as you don't have every notification on and the face of the watch on %100 the watch lasts a descent amount of time. I've been able to make it last 2 1/2 days with out charging so that is a plus for me. Simple to use, simple to set up and simple to navigate. Negatives are it needed to come with a stop watch and timer like a watch should have anyway, I think at least but instead you have to install the apps. The watch band isn't my favorite, I like the feel of leather much more, rubber always feels like its sticking to my arm. Other than that, if you like Samsung like i do this is a good smart watch to have.

    I am so happy with this purchase. Love this smart watch because it looks like a watch and not like a gadget. Battery life is amazing. Last a couple of days at least. Call quality is also superior!

    I previously owned the Samsung Gear S2 and loved it except the battery life was awful. I gave up on the watch and went back to the traditional wristwatch. Got my husband the Samsung Gear S3 for his birthday and he loves it especially since you can make calls from the watch and the battery life is amazing. Well, as a surprise for me, he got me the Samsung Galaxy Watch in Rose Gold. I love EVERYTHING about it! It's very fashionable for a woman's wrist (the face is not too big like the S2). It's a Samsung, so it's functional and high tech as I always expect. It takes/makes calls, and... the battery life is amazing! I am very pleased with my Samsung Galaxy Watch. Highly recommend!

    I used to think smart watches were completely superfluous and over-the-top, but now that I have this one, I can't imagine ever going back. It's an incredibly helpful tool and prevents me from having to constantly pull my phone in and out of my pocket. It looks like a legit watch rather than the goofy, bulky look of many smart watches and fitness trackers. It's durable and has tons of customization options with apps and watch faces. I really love this watch and it was a great purchase. Note: I'm using this along with a Samsung Galaxy S9+. Not sure how performance would be with a non-Samsung phone.

    Great Smartwatch for Samsung Phone Overall

    Build quality/Screen: Excellent. Well built, with sturdy materials. The screen is high quality, with great color range and deep blacks. Bands can be exchanged, but have not tried it yet. I think this size (42) is excellent (I’m 5’9, average build) Software: Overall, good. The included apps work well, with a good selection of watch faces. Most aren’t great quality, so you have to sift to find a good one. Some apps are very missing (Google Maps, WhatsApp); I have not tried the alternative to Google Maps, and WhatsApp is functional in that you can respond to messages, but cannot create new ones. Bixby is Bixby. I enjoy the exercise features, and find the walking/activity features generally good quality for the average person. Battery Life: Good. Have been using basically for notifications only, and end the day with 85% battery Overall, recommend. Using a Samsung Note 8

    I like that the Galaxy watch actually looks like a watch. Not like the Apple watch, a square computer on your wrist. The Galaxy watch pairs really well with the Galaxy Note 9.

    I bought this bc my GS3 Frontier is too big & heavy on my wrist, so I gave it to my husband. The 42mm size is a huge improvement. I love the rose gold! My only issue is I wish the stock watchfaces had more customization options for each face. It's necessary to download an external app to fully customize & these apps all have some issues. For example, the best app I have found so far is Watchmaker & the background image resolution leaves a lot to be desired! The steps, heartrate & other data don't always sync with these apps in a timely fashion, also. I've tried other apps but there is always some problem with it. Other than that it's a great watch! I love it & my husband loves his Frontier.

    Worth the Upgrade

    I upgraded to the Galaxy watch from the gear s2 sport. I wasn't too certain that the upgrade would be worth it but I was wrong. The battery life is so much better than the s2. I can get 2 full days and then some on 1 charge. I'm also enjoying the speaker (which the s2 lacked). It really comes in handy when I'm out and about and my hands are full so I can't answer the phone. Everyone I talk to through the watch thinks that I'm using my phone, the clarity is that good! Honestly, if you're thinking about making the leap to upgrade your previous Samsung watch or enter the world of smartwatches, I say do it. You won't regret it.
