    Replacing Fitbit Charge 2 which failed after about 14-15 months. Not the first time either. Love the Samsung Galaxy watch. Does everything I need and more. Easy to use. Looks good too!

    Bought this just before Christmas for $286 including tax. The interface is very intuitive. I chose the 42mm over the 46mm as the larger seemed a bit too bulky. The trade-off was the smaller battery in the 42mm. If lasts well over a day (two if you don't overdo it). The 46mm has specs of 4 days. So far, every function has worked perfectly. I didn't know it had an assistant - Bixby. I'm able to use it for voice texting without the need to reach for my phone. Heart rate sensor works well. Overall, a good, solid watch. We'll see how the durability aspect holds up over time. I upgraded from an old Polar Loop to this. It's like night and day in terms of capabilities.

    So far i really like my watch. I absolutely love the silver and blue color. I purchased the warranty just in case but hopefully i won't have to use it.

    I own a Gear 3 and wanted the smaller, more "girlie" look of the new Galaxy in Rose Gold. The watch is beautiful and it is nearly perfect. However, Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, decided to save some space in the watch and left out the MST function of Samsung Pay. Big mistake here in the States!! The stores here have not been quick to upgrade to NFC like the rest of the world, so my new Galaxy doesn't have the one function I liked best about my Gear 3. Now I have to switch back and forth between my watches depending on what I am doing that day. Not ideal when I actually love wearing the Galaxy. If you don't use Samsung pay, the watch is fantastic. If you do, you just need to decide if the lack of MST is a deal breaker.

    Love the watch! Battery life not as much

    I do love this watch overall. It has some minor quirks, such as voice to text not always connecting and I have to disconnect it from bluetooth when golfing because it kicks my speaker off when I walk away from the cart. It does not seem to interfere with other bluetooth connections, such as my car. I like the quick & personalized settings available and enjoy that it buzzes me back to reality when I'm too long at my desk, eeminding me to get up and move about. The battery life is only about a day & a half tops so prepare to charge it nightly and bring the charger when traveling, as it is a stand not micro USB. I have ordered a number of bands from Schmamazon so that I can dress it up or down and feed my OCD in being matchy matchy. The bands are easy enough that even I can change them with only the occasional shot of the post across the room. Overall very happy.

    Step Counter Does Not Work

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I so want to love this watch, but the step counter is totally off. With my S2 I averaged 12,000 per day. With this device my average is 4,500. I rebooted the watch, cleared the cash and my step total rests at 49 while Ive take a out 200 steps. The other functions of the watch are great. The non workout aspects are great, but I purchased a fitness watch. Im hugely disappointed.

    Keeps track of your steps as well as notifies you whenever you get a text message or someone is calling when connected to your Samsung phone. Plus the color is eye appealing.

    It took a while but they finally made a smart watch with a battery life longer than half a day. Great watch. Only thing I could ask for is more apps or Android Wear os instead of tenzen.

    I purchased this watch as a replacement for my Fitbit. I purchased the rose gold, it has a more femine look than the fitbit which is what I was looking for. The watch was advertised to have a longer battery battery life than their previous watch, however, I have found that the watch only last maybe two days without being on power saving. On power saving it last maybe 3 days. I went back to the store and had a technician remove everything that I did not need in order to save battery time, however, the battery still has to be charge in 2 to 3 days. Also the band that comes with the watch gets sweaty underneath. I have a small wrist and haven't been able to find a replacement band yet to fit my wrist. I will probably keep the watch but would probably not purchace another one. I purchased this watch at Best Buys and they have been very helpful with my purchase so far.

    Watch has a lot of great features. Still working out texting on this device since when you reply to a text it randomly selects who it will reply to... Battery is excellent even with always on feature.
