    Great value, great feel and I sometimes forget I'm even wearing it. I saw this watch at BB, and said, "Oh I'll never get a digital watch." However, the more I played with the display, the more I realized, hey, this is really nice. I got it from my husband for my birthday. Great surprise. I used it ALL the time.

    I get so many compliments on my Galaxy Smartwatch. Lots of inquiries about it and people are just in awe when I tell them everything you can do with it, and I'm not tech savvy! Love talking on the phone via my smartwatch, so I dont have to take my phone out of my purse and I'm hands free. Great product and looks beautiful on!

    Was pleased at the ease of set-up of the watch, how quickly it synced with my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone, how intuitive it is to use. It notifies me of texts & incoming calls, measures my steps, and many other functions. The battery life is also pleasantly long, only need to recharge it every 3-4 days. I am happy that I bought it.

    Took me a year to write a review, I was pretty skeptical at buying this type of device to be worn so close to your body for fear of overheating. It doesn't get hot, battery life is good and it's a great watch overall. I'm disappointed that you can't view social media apps.

    Fun without Fitness

    Even though this watch includes fitness components they are both difficult to setup and highly inaccurate. Out of the box I believed that the heart rate sensor was not working. This turned out to be a flaw during the setup process. The heart rate senor will only turn on when requested OR when setup to stay on the entire time. After fixing the heart rate sensor, the watch was unable to count flights of stairs. It turns out that this needed many permissions to turn on AND then still would only count flights of stairs occasionally. The truth is that this watch functions great for receiving/responding to text messages, reading your notifications, and playing music; however, this watch falls flat when tested against fitness standards. If you are looking for a fitness watch and smart watch in one AVOID this watch. You will be highly disappointed with the fitness features OR believe that you are making step goals when in reality the watch adds about 100 extra steps per 500 according to your phone.

    Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She doesn't like how big mine is so I was a little concerned that this one being 4MM smaller than mine was going to be too big still. However it is just right for her wrist. This is her first smart watch and so far she loves all the features. The has not been a day she has not worn it yet.

    Bought this watch for my wife and has been incredible. No issues at all. The battery still last for 3-4 days and has never had any issues with connectivity to our cellphones. This product is incredibly well made and has by far been the best smartwatch that we have purchased.

    My phone hit the floor very hard, and the screen became very hard to use do to flashing and blackness. But with this watch I was able to make calls and texts, which is great while I wait for my replacement phone to show up. Glad I ended up exchanging the Gear Fit 2 for the galaxy watch. The fitness tracking is also great, it automatically detects work outs and is very easy to use. Now that Strava is on the watch that is also a huge plus.

    I bought this watch for my wife and she loves it. She loves that she can track her steps during the day and it gives her an idea how well she sleeps every night. The sleep monitoring isn't the most accurate, but it is close enough for her. Plus it tells time and notify's her when she gets a text or email.

    Heart rate monitor could be more accurate. Battery lasts me about 5 days before recharging. Steps/distance is very accurate. Love the connection and alerts from my phone and the fact you can set up a many alert a you like, this is done though the app on your phone. Floor counter could use improvement it only gives me 1 flight for every 30 or so stairs I climb, I haven't found a way to adjust the setting for stairs to floors climb.

    Love this watch, the battery life is excellent!! I only have to charge every 2 or 3 days!!! Prior to this watch I had the Samsung Fitbit Pro..... Needless to say the battery life was horrible, it started off pretty well, within 2 months it needed charging every day (at this time I had no features turned on!!

    I love this watch and have had really no issues with it. It stays charged about 2 days, which is fine by me, as I like to put it on the charger before bed. The only thing I really get annoyed with is Bixby coming on at random, as I work in a school and that's been disruptive. But everything else is awesome!

    My grandson requested the Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch for Christmas. He wanted nothing else. I was able to get it on sale and use some Best Buy gift cards as well. He is delighted with the watch. Says it is the best gift ever. Has all the features in the description and works great with his Android phone. Great choice.
