    This watch is really awesome. It has a stress reader, It has a heart rate monitor, it has so many features and it also allows you to add-on features that doesn't already come pre-loaded. It can also be paired with the iPhone but I'm happy to be an android type of guy.

    This is a good watch. The battery life last me about 2 days with normal use. Doesn't have a stand alone Google Maps, which I think would be nice. You can download a different one that works ok. You gotta jump through hoops to put music on it unless you have a premium spotify account.

    You know, I'm not usually the sort of person that feels the need to get tech gadgets or accessories. I don't even wear watches. But I have to admit I'm really enjoying my new purchase. The watch has a lot of functionality and nice features, is aesthetically pleasing, and has a nice price point. I recommend it.

    This is my first smartwatch. It looks good and fits well. Originally wanted a watch and reminder for meetings and appointments. It does that well, and ...so much more. Easy to use. I now also use for health tracking (steps, heartbeat, etc.) and golf GPS, scoring, and stats (through an app that I loaded. ) I am glad I purchased.

    This Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch 46mm Stainless Steel LTE is nice. I like it to use when I'm outside during this pandemic. Instead of putting my cellphone near my face I prefer to speak into my smartwatch. I can hear through it clearly, if there isn't too much noise around me.

    It does everything a normal watch does but with a little more class. The app store has a great selection and the look and durability of the watch is insane. I do recommend getting another band for it because the look and feel of the stock one does get old and uncomfortable for me atleast.

    Love the Samsung ecosystem and this watch doesn't disappoint in terms of functionality, form factor and style. Makes a statement! In the end, it was just too big and heavy for my wrist, especially during workouts. Ended up going with the Watch Active 2, as I wanted to stay within the Samsung family.

    Superb and I love the flexibility of the different faces that are on your watch and your cell phone. I changed to band to get a more traditional look. I like tthe idea if I misplace my phone I will not miss calls or can use the find my phone app. Pretty slick

    Been running with this for a while now and it gets amazing accuracy compared to my gramin vivoactivehr. some of the rep counting features can be a little wonky. The rotating bezel is a weirdly awesome addition for its intended navigation function but additionally for protecting the screen from scratches and fidgety fun.

    Overall pleased with the functions of this watch; however, the battery stopped holding a charge within about six to nine months. Fortunately we purchased the 2 year Geek Squad Accident Coverage, so we'll be fine. Just be aware that this problem exists before purchasing.

    This smartwatch really is smart. I am able to take phone calls, view messages, use speech, handwriting or key board and so much more. It uses phone signal, wifi and bluetooth so you can get connection just about anywhere. It also monitors all my health info as well.

    Classy, but underwhelming.

    I bought this as a sleeker, bolder alternative to a Fitbit (or so I'm told it was supposed to be), but this was probably not the right choice. Before I bash on it, I'll state the good. -Fantastic build quality. It feels like a much more expensive mechanical watch I own, but I'm less afraid of dinging this one up (not that I intend to). Nice weight, the bezel ring has a satisfying *click* that doesn't seem to wear out, the face is pretty tough against scratches, it really IS waterproof, and the changeable bands is a neat little bonus. The battery is pretty good, I've gone days on a single charge. The device itself is stylish and classy in almost every scenario and adds a bit of flair to whatever you're doing and it functions rain or shine, hot or cold. -Somewhat simple and very responsive interface. There's a short learning curve to overcome using the watch. Just swipe or tap, a few gestures and that's it. Smooth transitions, apps load quick, and the display is very bright and sharp. Now for the cons... -Iffy accuracy. Oftentimes the step counter is waaayyy off and other times it's pretty darn accurate, but there's no way of getting it to "learn" your patterns, so if you're going to wear it for more than just fitness, you probably just want to only rely on the steps as you run, because it's consistent. -GPS...I guess..? This was advertised to independently have its own GPS function without needing a phone, to trace routes while running, which is the main reason I got it, and it works....kind of. To no surprise, it worked perfectly in the store, but outside is another story. It can trace the route I move, BUT, it's not always smooth or consistent. It seemingly takes forever most of the time to actually acquire a signal and position me on the map. Also, the map itself doesn't seem to load, once I move far enough, my route is traced in a black void apparently and the only map shown is what's loaded onto the screen with the initial GPS lock....I don't remember running all the way to purgatory... -Music? So I understand there's a way to put music on the device and use Bluetooth headphones, but I haven't necessarily figured it out yet. You can't just plug it in to a PC and drag/drop your files to it. -Sugar-free diet software. On top of all that, the only halfway competent fitness apps and software are pretty much all made by Under Armour, and they all only have like 3/5 stars, and do pretty much the same thing. Stopwatch, mediocre GPS (again), rep count (doesn't work well with pull-ups or situps) and heart rate monitor, being the most accurate thing (besides the watch function itself), which also needs specific placement on your wrist. The OTHER available apps are either pointlessly paid premium, or just pointless period. I don't need to control a PowerPoint with my watch, and I don't need to read a word document. YouTube? REALLY!? This one is horrendous, try it and you'll see what I mean...There's one fitness app on the proprietary watch store that has 4.5 stars, but I'm not going to get it. I paid 400 dollars for the watch, it should at least function as advertised without needing to subscribe to something, or have a free full-use demo to verify if it's worth spending for the app. Just about ALL of the fitness apps have a paid version that supposedly have much better tracking, but they're mostly more for forums, miscellaneous online uploads etc. for those "lookit how far I ran, can YOU beat that!?"...Again, 400 for the watch alone should net me something worthwhile, like a few included good, functional paid apps or something. Maybe I'm just negative here, but I'd think this product would be a bit better and more developed for the outdoorsy types, not just suave techies. As mentioned before, I think a Garmin might be more of what I'm looking for, in terms of GPS route tracking (since that's kind of their main thing), calorie counter and so forth. Great style, good intentions, but poor execution....NEXT!!!

    I absolutely love the watch and the concept of it. I would have given it 5 stars but I had to exchange it two times before I got a watch that would number sync with my phone. I tried with AT&T techs so many times before we recognized it was the hardware itself. Hopefully you'll get a good one on the first try.

    Without a doubt, am sold on Samsung watches. This thing has been great, and incredibly durable. Just wish they'd bring back the camera so you can video chat from the watch (not a complaint, because the watch is very useful, just a wish list item).

    My husband loves the watch. We did have to take it to our local Best Buy and exchange it. The one I ordered looked new and never used , but the e-sim number was not valid. So, if that happens to you , call Best Buy immediately, so you can get it exchanged.

    Bought as a gift for my husband and he loves it! You do need to have your phone nearby, but it comes in handy when he;s in meetings. He turns the ringer off, but can still see when he's getting calls or texts to see if he needs to take them or if they can wait. Great gift!
