    This watch was everything I expected and more. Easy fast set up for Bluetooth and wireless. It was a little more complicated for us set up the LTE services need to be don’t by your cell provider. But it all worked out and loving my watch.

    I am very happy. I have ran this watch thru workouts, swimming the outdoors in such a short amount of time. Battery is great! Only using Bluetooth...but very happy.

    This is the first time I have bought a smart watch. I sought something that was attractive and functional, and that could be used as a signalling device in case of a fall, since I live alone and am getting on in years. I did not want one of those expensive one-function subscription-based devices for invalids. I like the look of this watch and its email alerts. I am particularly pleased with the health monitoring features, which really have encouraged me to get out and about, as well as the weather app. All around, it is far more than I expected, and I would highly recommend it.

    I've been very happy with the purchase of my Samsung - Galaxy Watch Smartwatch 46mm LTE. Before I purchased it I wasn't sure how much I would actually utilize it, especially since I stopped wearing a watch years ago. I've found myself using it significantly more than I even thought that I would. The watch has incredible voice clarity when used for calls as the person I'm talking to can never tell the difference between the watch and phone. I'm definitely glad that I made the purchase!

    Great watch. Very durable and feels solid. Only issue is the step counter does not always feel accurate. Works well for work outs but regular steps don't seem to always add up.

    Not a bad watch, its just not that rugged looking. I had originally bought the S3 Frontier, which I absolutely loved, but it was an open box item, and had issues. This was my only option trading it in. If I had it to do over, I would have kept the Frontier and sent it back to Samsung. It was an awesome looking Smart watch. This one is somewhat ugly. I can't tell you one was faster than the other, but the battery life is longer with this watch. I just hate the stainless look (only finish available in this size group.)

    Pretty good watch for the price. It would be nice if you could load apps from both the Samsung App Store and the Google Play Store. The battery life is pretty great on it.

    known problem not fixed, overrated battery

    First of all this would have been a great watch had Samsung fixed some know problems. The floors climbed on this watch is horrible at best. Today I put my Garmin watch and Galaxy Watch on and after several flights up and down the steps the Garmin showed 9 floors (I had done 12), The Galaxy Watch showed none. To see if it worked at all I climbed the steps and raised my hand over my head and the Galaxy watch counted one floor. My other big problem is with the battery life. I have the 46mm LTE (but no data plan set up) and get one day before needing to charge the watch. After 24 hours I will have a battery percentage in the single digits. I might be able to squeeze a little over 24 hours but never over 30. I have not done any exercise that I would use the GPS on nor have I been using apps or music. The phone is billed as unlocked but it will not work on ATT. In fairness it does say in the product description that it only works on T-Mobiles network but I didn't see that until after I ordered it. I really wanted this watch to work and really do love the watch other than the three problems listed. Those are some major problems though considering my Garmin Vivoactive HR does everything that I used the Galaxy Watch to do and I right at a week on a battery charge. I called Samsung today and was told by the customer service tech to reset the phone, which I did, and if that didn't work to bring the phone back to Best Buy to get a refund or exchange. The tech was very nice but he reported that he had not heard of the floor or battery problem and that my phone must have a problem with it. He may not have heard about it but there were many complaints about it on the Samsung Community board on Samsungs websight.
