I love it. Samsung makes some of the best products.

I was hesitant about the silver color. But its a beautiful watch.

Love it love the design the band eveything about it

I've grown to love this Samsung Galaxy 5 watch. I'm an active person. I run and lift daily and bike ride some days too. As such, I've had a different watch for the past few years that does GPS, counts calories, steps, etc.. I have a Heart Rate Monitor (strap) that goes with it that gives me incredible insight into my runs. I share this because much of why I got this watch was to see about replacing my old watch. I also wanted to test some of the additional features the Galaxy 5 offers, like Sleep Analysis. THE GOOD ~ Charges quickly ~ Can take phone calls & receive/send texts (even though I have only the Bluetooth version) ~ Many apps available ~ Choice of watch faces ~ lightweight ~ Perfect size for me ~ Easy to set up ~ Ease of use ~ Cool apps like Sleep monitor and Stress Level THE BAD ~ Battery only lasts about 2 days ~ Phone seems to drain much faster now ~ Some apps don't work (or don't work well) like Body Composition THE MEH (Could go either way) ~ The strap is odd because the excess tab is tucked under (see pic) ~ Battery only lasts about 2 days ~ Charger requires a USB-C port (instead of a normal USB like on a car charger) ~ The auto brightness doesn't seem to work too well for me OVERALL I like the watch a lot. When I first put it on my wrist, I wasn't sure if I would want to keep it on. It felt so different from my other watch. There are a lot of holes to adjust, but it takes a couple tries to figure out which hole works best, because after you have the latch in the hole, you have to tuck the end of the band inside against your wrist. So, it gets a little tight. Setting up the watch was easy. It has a great display. It's very crisp with beautiful, vibrant colors. Although the battery only lasts about 2 days, it charges very quickly. I think about 30-45 minutes will take it from 20% to full. I do wish it would last longer, but it falls within the specs Samsung promised. On the runs and bike rides I have taken with it, the mileage comes up a little shorter than my other watch. Determining which one is isn't so easy because a 9 mile trail run showed about 8.9 miles. A 15 mile bike ride showed 14.84 miles. Yes, I used both watches at the same time. While this is minimal disparity, the calculation of calories burned between the two watches is very different. For biking and running, the calories are far less than on the other watch. Where weightlifting is concerned, the Galaxy is more generous with the calories burned. Some of the apps I wanted to use, like the body composition, simply will not work. It continually gets to about 80% and then stops and tells me to try again. After about 10 tries, I gave up. The sleep app is cool. I have sleep issues and wake up a lot every night. This actually seems to show those awakenings as well as REM, Light and Deep sleep. That's probably one of my favorite things. Just comparing that to how I feel in the morning. It seems accurate enough to me. It's advised that you pair this with a Samsung phone. I haven't tried it with anything else, but so far, everything has been seamless between talk/text and even just pushing a button to open specific apps on my phone to see it larger or get more insight. WOULD I RECOMMEND? I would. I would definitely recommend it to those with a Samsung phone wanting a smart watch, especially if they are interested in the activity apps. There are many sports the watch will follow. You can also download something like Strava and use it.

I absolutely love this watch it works great I use this everyday

Best Smart Watch I have ever had! Truly reliable!!

I have owned a few smart watches before the original Moto 360, pebbles, Garmin instinct This felt like a complete smartwatch, as I am able to do most of the running / workout / treadmill function on this. Also have been hiking on this and at decent tracking for that. I cycle on city trails and out of city trails which has worked wonderfully for me. I work in an office in runnement and has made me pull out my phone less compared to before as I can dismiss most notification from my watch because of wearOS.

The fitness tracker is very accurate. My fitbit was off, this is on point. Easy syncing, and pretty good range.

Great watch easy to scratch metal but glass is good

I was late to the game when it comes to smart watches but after I got it, i immediately realized that I should have bought one earlier. Although it's large, it's very comfortable to wear and has so many ways to customize it.

Great technology, easy to use, highly recommended!

I love it it feel better it helps me out with my walk

Very easy to use. I hope to get the same amount of use from my Galaxy 5 watch as I did with my Galaxy 3 watch! Keep up the good work, Samsung!

A great upgrade frrom S2, a lot more benefits to this watch. My favorite feature is the heart rate monitor.

I like it but there's not a lot of apps that work with it. The battery can be better And when it rains and it gets water on the face it's really hard to work with. Also just trying to download apps is pretty much crazy the impossible. One other thing I find that when I'm listening to music it doesn't work properly on the cut pause and play Button

I like it because its very comfortable on my wrist also its very accurate, Immediately that I get a text on my phone I get it on the watch there's not like a few seconds delay. I love it.

upgraded from an original galaxy watch. I love the new design but not so mutch the function of the watch. Biggest complaint is i went from charging my watch 2 times a week to needing to charge it every night. The battery life is a huge downgrade, which has let me down because everything else on the watch is very nice

I use it all the time, very useful when at work and cant use your phone

Buttons should be on the top not the side because it gets on the way when working out

This is definitely a improvement over previous generations.
