    Samsung Galaxy Smart Watch (42mm)

    It is as expected - I had an older version that I liked but was stolen. This model doesn't appear to have anything new added to it but it's a good watch to pair to my Note9. The one issue that I would like to have is the ability to track my watch when it is missing. Apple allows it and many have located stolen and lost watches. Even though Samsung knows full well where the watch is when someone activates it, they will not support location of the watch. I almost didn't buy another watch from Samsung just for that reason. If you are looking for something that someone can't steal and use as their own or sell it without fear, don't buy this watch. Overall the watch is functional and I like it.

    Have not had the watch for very long and I have had no problems. It's a little heavy and takes a little time to get used to the weight. Other than the weight I love everything about the watch.

    This watch is the best. I had a gear2 before I got this one. Perfect size for a womans wrist. The gear3 is way to big for my little wrist. I think it works as good as a gear3. Love it!!

    I love this watch - it does so much and I no longer have to take my cell phone out of my pocket. The only issue I have is the heart rate monitor does not pick up well - not sure if this is do to the watch or if there is a problem with it - even though I still love it.

    This is an upgrade for my wife's S2, she is so happy with the long battery life, the speaker feature and the screen resolution. The only downside is the poor color selection, no silver option

    I received this as a gift. I would not have bought it for myself. It took some getting used to, but now I would be lost without it. I wasn't thrilled with the all black option my husband chose, but it looks great with a silver case. Good battery life. Very pleased.

    I have had this watch for almost a month now and I am very impressed. I love the fact that I can make/answer phone calls through the watch, and the color of the metal for the watch. I also like the way the rotating bezel feels as a scroll. I have swam with it several times and has worked perfectly after each swim. I will say so far the only thing that I did not like was the actual color of the watch band that came with the watch standard because it made me feel like I was wearing a nude geriatric color that wasn't very flattering. I replaced it with a black silicone Barton brand wristband with matching rose gold clasp for $20 and like it much better.

    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!

    Had it for about a year, solid watch. Easy to navigate and I use many features daily (weather, alarm, sleep tracker). Battery lasts about 2.5-3 days depending on use. I wish it had more widgets and the charge time is SLOW (hours to fully charge).

    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.

    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.
