    So far I like this watch. The size is good. Not huge like the 46mm (I tried that one but it is bigger than the gear S3 frontier). My only complaint is with the sleep tracking. Samsung changed how it works in Tizen 4 and you have to have the heart rate tracking set to 'always' to get the detailed sleep stages.

    I own the S3 Frontier and decided to buy this for a friend on her bday. She's never owned a smart watch so she was very happy with the features. The design is great and the colors look good on casual and dressy wear.

    I had gotten the active and returned it for the Galaxy watch. Best exchange decision ever. The watch has a nice design, sleek, moving through the apps and seeing the messages and making calls are clear.

    This watch has all of the features that I was looking for in a smartwatch. It is easy to operate. I'm a little disappointed in the distance that I can go to stay connected with my phone, and the battery does not last a full day on a full charge. I do get a lot of emails which probably drains the battery.

    For a ladies Android watch, this is a great size. Since it is a Samsung, support for this watch is great for what it is. Definitely stylish and doesn't look like a laptop on your wrist.

    I was skeptical about the battery life on these but I have not been disappointed. I've been averaging 3-4 days on a charge. Love the design and build quality. The rotating bezel is the ideal way to navigate a smartwatch.

    I have nothing to compare because this is my first smart watch. Originally purchased the 46mm and it was too big. I don't use the fitness features but receiving notifications without having to look at my phone is nice. A lot of watch faces to choose from. I can get 2 days use without having to charge.

    I had the first generation Galaxy Watch, and loved it, it paired perfectly with my Samsung Phone. This new version has a much better battery life, and I'm really liking the sleep monitor.

    Very nice smart watch easy to use especially with Samsung phones. You can download very useful application like the health apps. It has sensor to measure your heart rate and stress levels. It was perfect until a month ago where it stopped working totally.

    Love my watch. It does everything that I need. It looks very stylish. I can receive text message and talk on the phone when I have my Samsung phone near me. I can pick the workout activity eg walk or cycle and it will monitor my distance and heart rate. You turn the dial or swipe the face to change apps. I also enjoy changing the clock face. It has many types of faces from modern to classic. It also has a neat feature to monitor your stress from low to high. Waiting in the doctors office I was able to use it to lower my stress level via breathing exercise. It is a great tool to lower high blood pressure caused from stress. I would highly recommend this watch!

    I like that with this watch I don't have to look at my phone every time to check on messages or other notifications. Calls sound good also. Great addition to anyone that's constantly on their phone.

    Nice fit. Easy to connect to my cell phone. Very stylish and comfortable. Charge lasts a couple days. Haven't taken the chance on not charging any longer than that. Really. Like the band compared to previous models.

    This is a great watch with a great battery life. When it's connected to my phone and use it fully, it sure lasts the whole day. When it's not connected to my phone and I use it just as a watch and to track my exercise and activity, it lasts 3 days. The missing one star is for how "bulky" the watch is.

    I bought this for my wife who has small wrists and it fits her quite well. I have the larger one and also like it. The only real issue is the battery life on this one is less than half of the bigger one.

    Bought this for my wife for her birthday instead of another Apple Watch as well as me and she loves it as do I! I bought the 46mm version and I bought her this 42mm version and if I would most definitely buy again! There is still stuff then can improve on over Apple Watch especially with Bixby, the should just use google assistant or atleast have a choose which u would like to use! Bixby is very raw much like Siri was in the very early days compared to google but aside from the voice assistant everything else is great! We would definitely recommend these to anyone and the circular shape is a lot better than apples square and also we both love the rotating bezel and it makes using a smart watch more fun and a lot easier!
