    This watch was worth the upgrade from the Gear S3 Frontier. Better bezels, more apps and longer battery life! Love the color which is my favorite Rose Gold and like that I can track my sleep and track the amount of reps and sets during my exercises! Would definitely recommend getting this one it's worth the money

    Very Good Smart Watch!

    I got this for my wife for Christmas and she has been nothing but amazed by this watch. First it's a beautiful rose gold color, and although slightly larger than a normal size woman's watch, which it has to be so you can actually use and read the screen, it looks nice on and still looks like a woman's watch. It does everything any other "smart" watch will do, such as heart rate monitor, music, fitness, etc...and it also allows the user to download and display pictures and read and send text messages. But the really cool feature of this watch is that it allows you to make and receive phone calls via your cell phone through Bluetooth. The only downfall to this (if you even consider it a downfall) is that your cell phone must be with-in a 30 foot range for it to work, but that really shouldn't be an issue for most people unless you have a really big yard or house and don't like carrying your cell phone around with you. Truth be told there are many smart watches out there and they all pretty much do the same thing, but with the quality of Samsung you can't go wrong with this smart watch!

    Love the design, looking like a watch and the ease of use. Using the dial to move through views and menus is very user friendly. I have also the FitBit Ionic, but it is not as user friendly. The con for this watch is the battery life and the sleep tracking. The reports are not as detailed as the one from FitBit.

    I really didn't think I needed this watch but turns out it has earned its keep. I enjoy the way I can fully customize it. This is my third Samsung watch, and they get better with each watch. I love the functions and the design and thank you for finally making one that doesn’t look like only men can wear them.

    This is my Samsung third watch. I like the smaller size and ease of use. Keeping the software updated is important. It helps me stay active with reminders and a consistent step counter. I also like getting my email, texts, and having pictures of my grandchildren on my watch.

    A drastic improvement over the S2

    Coming from a Gear S2, this thing is a godsend. No lag at all, a brighter display, and the battery was more than enough to get me through the day! With how I use it however, the battery was enough to last me until the end of the day. If I used more power saving measures, I can see this lasting 2 days with light use.

    I love this watch! It is so easy to use and that's saying coming from me, because I am not good with electronics! I would recommend this watch to anyone! I love the fact that I can do with this watch anything I can do with my phone. I would definately buy another when and if this one wears out

    I bought this as a gift for my mom but I also own a Galaxy watch. I have been very happy with the exercise tracking, including swimming. I also like the general notification functionality and the ability to make calls through the phone. The call quality is surprisingly good. I wish the watch was a little less bulky and the calendar integration was better. I would also like and audible app for the watch.

    My wife loved the watch. Since we use Samsung phones, it works perfectly. We are fitness conscious, so it tracks all our workouts. I have been using the Galaxy watch for several years and have been waiting for one that looked feminine. I did change the band and she has received a lot of compliments on the watch.

    I upgraded from the gearfit. Wanted more features. The speaker on the watch is great. Easy to use. Love the traditional round face. I still need to charge about every other day but I receive alot of texts and calls. Still figuring out all the extras on the watch but so far very easy and I love the look of it.

    It's very nice that I don't have to have my phone on me to receive calls and texts. It also syncs with your phones calendar and reminders, keeps track of heart rate and exercise and stress level. Would recommend to other users. Charge lasts about 3 days before about 25 percent left. Charges in about 2 hours.

    Great Watch for Telling Time, but...

    I've been wearing my watch for a few weeks and I noticed the step counter is completely inaccurate. Each day I pretty much trace the same steps at work and I get random numbers that can be off by 2,000-4,000 steps. One day I put on the watch in the morning and walked 100 feet to my car and racked up 11,000+ steps. Seriously. To say I'm disappointed with that feature is an understatement. I have been a loyal Samsung phone customer for many years but I wish I had chosen a different smartwatch. That being said, the watch keeps great time, allows downloadable faces, and is great at sending alerts to things I should see on my phone. The calling feature is fine, though the volume is low and hard to hear unless in a quiet room. I wish the phone came with a more feminine, less bulky design for women that is not a shade of pink. I'll continue to wear the watch for now, but I'll probably start looking for something better, sooner than later.

    Its a nice watch to wear & complements any outfit quite well. Probably not as updated as the apple watch with the apps it allowed to display but it's way cheaper. It does have a music player with built in speakers & you can view your pictures right off the watch. It has the basics things that most people would use the watch for anyways like phone calls & texting. Very easy to use, I do recommend.

    Very pleased with this watch. It took some time to get used to the weight of it, but now I feel lost without it. Good battery life. Lots of different watchfaces available. It is easy to use, has great sound (for phone calls and music) and I haven't even started using all of the features.

    I gifted my wife this and boy was she happy. This is a beautifully designed watch made for just about anyone with the right band attachment. This watch causes conversations with random people , and if you leave your wallet or purse home then as long as you have your watch all is good!

    I was afraid to go for refurbished, but it's like new and works wonderfully, I don't have to charge it daily, and I love being at work and not having to pull out my phone rudely in front of patients, and instead inconspiciously look at my watch in case something important is coming through.

    Received this watch as a Christmas gift. My only complaints are that it is a little large for my small wrist and kinda heavy. Other than that though, I am loving it. Seems to track steps/exercise well. Love all the different free face options and customization. So far, so good!
