    good battery life, less good strap

    This isn't my first smartwatch, and it isn't even my first galaxy watch. It holds its own against the competition and is a decent improvement on earlier models. The case is reasonably sized, and there isn't a whole lot of dead space between the edge of the display and the edge of the screen. The case of the watch is barely noticeable beyond the screen, and the black color makes it disappear even more. The band that comes with the watch is lacking, though. I do like the way it integrates with the lugs and matches the case shape, but it sticks out too far from the sides of the watch for people with normal-sized wrists (mine is 6.75" for you watch nerds). It does stick out less as the band gets broken in, but there's still too much of a gap between the strap and my wrist near the lugs. The strap material is comfortable enough, and I appreciate the way the tail of the strap tucks under itself after the buckle. But it could and should fit better. The lugs are a standard 20mm, so aftermarket straps should fit fine, but I didn't try any on this particular model. I was using this watch with a MS Surface Duo 2, and it paired fine, though I did have to download a plugin for the Samsung Wear app for it to work with this model. The watch faces that come pre-downloaded worked fine, though I could never get it to download additional faces. It always had problems "making the network connection." I did try the Facer app to load additional faces onto the watch, and that worked okay, but it seemed to have problems loading data other than the time and date onto the watch faces (like weather, heart rate, etc.). It may have been an issue with app permissions. Battery life was excellent. I wore it for 28 hours, including two (automatically detected) workouts, overnight (in sleep mode), and with the always-on display active, and there was still 30% of the battery left. You can easily get a full day out of this watch, and if you were using it less actively during that time, you might squeeze two days out between charges. It did a good job of importing previous settings from my Samsung profile, including Samsung Health settings. One new thing I tried out was the body composition detection. It came out fairly close to what my fancy floor scale tells me. Overall, a nice improvement on the previous generation, but not without a couple of minor flaws.

    Very sturdy and reliable! High quality, feels good and has a lot of features. I like the high quality feel it has. Replaced my Michael Kors watch and will never go back to those. 5 stars.

    I have never been one to wear a watch or even bracelets until now. I recently had a baby and figured that this would be useful so i wouldnt have to juggle a phone with the baby in my arms. So far I have a love/hate relationship with the watch. Set up for the watch was extremely interactive and easy to set up! This was a nice touch as some electronics can be quite tricky. Even better, my phone identified it and automatically started to pair with it just from turning it on. This has indeed made it esier to make phone calls and send and respond to text messages. One area where I felt this lacked was lack of supported apps that really should be supported and several that are on other smart watch platforms. One of these apps is Facebook Messanger. If i get a message from someone i do get a notification; I can only respond to that message if I do so immediately via that notification. I cannot send a stand alone message via messanger or send multiple responses to someone which is irritating as messanger is a popular form of communication. I also found it intresting and inconveniant that gmail is not supported even though Google maps and the Google play store are present on the phone. The watch has Microsoft Outlook, so if I want to view my emails I would have to download Outlook on my phone and set up my Gmail through there. I also cannot get any of my discord message notifications. I also noticed that the watch has tons of glitches. One reoccurring glitch I have encountered is the flashlight. I have tried using the flashligh feature several times when feeding the baby in the middle of thr night. Almost every time it stays on for 3-5 seconds and then just goes back to the homescreen. Another glitch I have encountered several times is in the text messages. If you click a picture you've sent or recived; every time it gets stuck on that screen and wont let you exit. I always have to hard close the message app to get out of the picture. Lastly, the weather almost never updates to show realtime. What makes this extra dissappinting is that you can have it show the weather on the faxe of the watch with the time; what is the point if you have to go into the weather app and manually refresh it to show the correct weather. One feature I have enjoyed is the sleep tracking. Especially with having a newborn that is up half of thr night, it is intresting to see real updates of how much sleep we are actually getting. This even breaks it down by type of sleep from light, REM to deep sleep. It also tracks tour exercise. One day I went for a walk and it automatically started to track my walking. The next time I went I was pushing a stroller and it wasnt enough arm movement to pick up. I ended up manually turning on the walk tracking app and it worked fine however it did eat a ton of battery. The battery life on it isnt too bad. It tends to last all day if you are only usingnit for messages and calls here and there throughout the day. When you start using other apps it depletes fairly quickly. I will also note that the watch band is made of a nice soft silicone and is comfortable to wear.

    I love this watch. I was recently diagnosed with AFIB so bought it for the ECG feature that I have found very easy to use and very valuable information to send to my cardiologist. The bonus is all the other cool features and how easy it is for a technically challenged person to use.

    The watch seems excellent to me. Of course, I've only had it for about a month and haven't used some of the features. Durability remains to be seen, but I'm confident that it will be fine. Battery recharge every 48 hours, and there is still 20 to 25% charge remaining at that.
