    I had the gear 2 and this watch is much better than that. Battery seems to last just over a day with the heart monitor. I love the sleep data and this watch has no problem in a Wet Sauna regardless of how hot I have it. Highly recommend.

    I've been holding out on replacing my Moto 360 but bought this for my wife. She loves it and has been more active since having it. I am jealous. Weeks later my 360 died... As soon as the price drops again I am on it! Should be at Max $250

    Good smartwatch over all but for the price I expected better. The battery is average, I had to turn off always on and the brightness to be able to get 3-5 days before having to recharge it. The heart sensor randomly comes on, might be a settings issue or a straight up glitch. I wish Samsung would just go straight ANDROID for it's app store, not really app friendly. Good for the gym and notification updates and phone functions you expect from a smart watch. The only real issue is the dang $350 price tag I paid for it. Brand name is why it's so expensive. Doesn't come with a leather band or stainless steal band for that $350 price tag either. Just the basic silicone band that looks cheap like the Active models.

    I've had a few Smart Watches, but none of them compare to this one! I love everything about this watch. The way it looks, how light it is on my wrist, how user friendly it is, etc. One of the best purchases I've ever made!

    I bought the Samsung S10 for my girlfriend. And this watch works better than her apple watch series 3. Battery will last for up to 4 days without charging it. She also showers with the watch and it's definitely water resistant.

    This watch is great and while I had it the functionality worked really well. I'm disappointed that MST payment was removed and you are only left with the normal Samsung Pay system. This makes a lot of people not want to upgrade from their S3s. Great watch, but definitely missing some features. Battery is insane on this thing.

    Received as a gift. At first, I was intimidated with the watch, its features, and connecting to my phone. Instructions and downloading was easy and was working with it within an hour. Love it features, working with the other Samsung apps.

    Bought this for my wife for mother's day and she loves it. She was never a watch person before but now she won't take it off. Works very well and she doesn't have to take it off to swim or anything anymore like previous models

    I love this watch. It works great and is very pretty. It sits very high, which I like. It is easy to operate; you just have to play with the two buttons on the side and the onscreen display.

    Great Watch

    Still adapting to this watch compared to the Gear Fit 2. It has so many more features! It has been hard finding screen protectors that fit, but I did find them on Amazon and that they have protectors for the metal part of the watch. The main drawback is it takes forever to charge. My Note8 phone charges faster. I've read with a new device, it's better for the battery to let it die and fully charge the first few times. That took over 3 hours. So, I'd recommend charging it throughout the day. Even 30 minutes helps. I try to keep the charger with me and charge it when I am sitting at work instead of at night. That way it doesnt miss my sleep tracking. If I forget to put it on when I move around, I've just missed some steps and hopefully my phone will pick up the difference. Overall, I am really enjoying the watch and so glad I upgraded. I like being able to text from the watch or use the voice feature. It still has the ability to track steps, floors, water intake, sleep, and find the phone... Also, it shows the calendar and can even add new evets. There is also the ability to call directly from the watch too!

    Great watch, and easily compatible with my Galaxy Note 9. Can easily check my emails and texts, as well as answer my phone on the watch. Does need to be at a reasonable distance to the phone to answer calls.

    Samsung Galaxy Watch in Rose Gold is a beautiful looking time piece, and it is also a multifunctional wrist watch. Set up was so easy and it is comfortable to wear. I've had it a little over a month, and love it.

    I absolutely love my watch. It does everythingI wanted plus more. I only had one small issue originally when I bought the watch at a Best buy store I was not informed that there's a difference between cellular and not. Once I realized that I did not have the cellular watch I returned it at another Best buy. Speaking to them I told them that I have Verizon as my phone carrier. At that time their service techs is extremely busy so I went to Verizon to have my phone connect it to my Verizon account. At that time I learned that the Galaxy watch was only paired to T-Mobile which I did not have so I returned the watch to Best buy who does not deal with T-Mobile and they had no idea that they wouldn't talk to Verizon. They assumed it was parable to all services. Approximately 3 weeks after changing my watch to the non-cellular Verizon comes out and now can be pair to Galaxy watch. I meant to BestBuy to see if I could upgrade back to the cellular since that was what I originally was there for and I would opportunely was misinformed that my watch was cellular on two occasions. They refused so that would be my only downfall

    My boyfriend used a One Plus 5T and has had no issues with the watch! He states that the battery life is amaze and it helps track his sleep habits pretty good. He thinks a 42mm Watch is just be right size without looking cartoony.
