    Texts, e-mails, HR, and most of your apps and fitness metrics on a bright OLED display that you wear on your wrist. Real world battery life 2-3 days. Better battery, a round bezel with multiple clock faces to choose from, gives this very smart watch a contemporary look. LTE model is pricey.

    This watch is hands down the best smart watch. We all want a smart watch that last more than a day and this model lives up to that. This watch not only looks good but performs smooth. My complaint would be to change text tones, other than that, I love this watch

    Bought this watch for my husband. Before this there were times that he didn't respond to a text or call because he was away from his phone or he didn't feel the vibration (phone has to be on vibrate at work). Now that he receives texts and calls on the watch it is so much easier for him to respond or answer. He doesn't have to worry about constantly checking his phone. He also uses this when working out and doesn't have to worry about taking his phone with him and missing a call or text. This purchase was also an open box item and we were cautious about buying it. However, the Geek Squad department assured us that when they have an open box item they make sure it is in good working condition otherwise they would not put it on the shelf. My husband has not had any issues with it and loves that he no longer misses any calls and texts. I would recommend this to family and friends.

    After years of waiting to get my first smartwatch I opted to give the Samsung Galaxy Watch a try after reading a bunch of reviews. In the 3 weeks I've owned it I've really come to appreciate the ability to get my notifications without pulling my phone out, especially with having my newborn in my arms much of this time! The screen size seems adequate for most tasks and the microphone up to the task on phone calls and voice input (for texting, etc.). The speaker for calls sometimes feels too quiet, but is plenty loud for playing music, so maybe that is operator error. The heartrate monitor seems to struggle to get readings when I run but that could be the leather watch band I'm using and not the rubberized plastic band the watch sells with. Overall, a good all around Android watch option, but there are probably better fitness devices out there for the hardcore athletes.

    These watches have come a long way and this Samsung option is great if you already have Samsung devices. A few apps that work nicely on it, scrolling through them all is pretty tedious though. My wife has the latest apple watch, which has a nicer interface but is also double the price, plus I don't use apple devices. It has taken a few light knocks of life with no harm done and the strap is fine to start with but I would probably upgrade it at some point. I think the face light up response is based on the time of day, which I guess is good but in the evening it is a pain to have to tap the screen (I know first world problems) and sometimes that isn't the quickest either. All up I love it though, nice to track stats and access my phone apps without getting the phone out and getting distracted by the other nonsense on there.

    Awesome watch, better than S3 but....

    I really wanted the smaller 42mm, but didn't want an all black watch. There are black watches with gold details, etc. that really balance the black well. But the all black Samsung doesn't have that. Back to this watch, the 46mm. If I could have, I would have stuck with the S3 but I couldn't transfer it to my new service. The Samsung Galaxy watch is faster and seems better organized than the S3. Voice on calls seems better too. Battery life is way better than the S3. I can go days without recharging, while the S3 required charging nightly. As good as this watch is, I do not like the black bezel. In fact, I purchased a stainless bezel to place over the black. Wow, what a difference. Of course, the add-on adds to an already bulky watch. So performance wise including battery life, this watch wins. Appearance wise, I would have stuck with the S3.

    The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best operating Smartwatch out there. Tizan software OS is far better than Android Wear and the rotating bezel is cool. Battery life is awesome!!! It is getting a lot more apps then before and you can use Alexa on it.

    This watch is amazing. I originally purchased the Bluetooth version, but returned for this model. This one can be added to my phone plan for $10 a month and I can respond to text and other notification even if my phone is no where around.

    I have had all the Samsung watches and this is a very good looking watch with long battery life. My only complaint is Samsung got rid of MST which is a magnetic strip reader enabling purchases with the watch without wireless pay terminals

    Secret: My wife bought me this watch as a present for HER. Know that sound strange, but she was tired of me leaving my phone everywhere and not being able to get in touch if she needed something from where I happened to be (grocery store, drug store etc). So I am wearing it and figuring it out. This thing does everything but make the coffee and I'm not real sure about that. Only downside I have found is the band, and I replaced that so I am now 100% 5 star happy with HER present LOL. Best Buy has been very helpful in setting it up, You tube as been invaluable, and if I can do it (not a techie) anybody can.

    Beware of Galaxy Watch 46mm LTE version

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

    Heads up to all people who have AT&T. You CANNOT activate this watch as a standalone device like its intended and advertised. Basically what that means is if you buy the LTE version you can't activate it with some cell phone companies (such as AT&T). I bought this watch and was informed by AT&T that it's not activating and they weren't sure why. So I returned it and for another one and went straight to a local AT&T store with the brand new watch in the box. The employee informed me that the Galaxy Watch 46mm cannot work with AT&T's updated cellular service. So basically you paid extra for an LTE watch BUT it will NOT work with some carriers. I'm sure the Galaxy Watch 3 does not have this issue because it is new but the older Galaxy Watch 46mm/42mm is dead in the water if you want to use it for its full capabilities. So I give it a 1 star because charging customers extra for a feature that CAN'T be used is unfair. It's not best buys fault or even samsungs fault but it is an unfortunate reality. Spend the extra money on the Galaxy Watch 3 OR just get the Galaxy Watch 46mm Bluetooth only version (which is cheaper but you lose the capability of having your watch as a phone which comes in handy in a pinch). The actual watch is very nice and the Bluetooth only version is fine because it can't be used as a "phone" from the start. Sorry for the long rant but hopefully this helps someone from spending hours trying to activate their smart watch with their cellphone company unsuccessfully.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    bought an Apple I watch 4 and paid $1000 returned it and bought this one. It has most of the features and functionality just without the price tag wish it was a little more Apple compatible but I have Samsung phone also so it’s really not a big issue great watch !

    My husband loves his watch. It looks nice and works well. His does have a different number attached when sending out texts from the watch. I'm not sure if that's standard or not, but it's a little annoying. Otherwise, it's a great watch.
