So I was really excited for this watch. I wanted it so that I could track fintness stuff but also be able to not have to always have my phone in hand. Love that I can make calls and send texts. I also love the design. It does give a more classic watch feel and the physical bezel that you can use to navigate the screen is a very nice feature in my opinion. In concept its great. In practice it leaves some things to be desired. You have to wear it unbearably tight for it to read your heart rate, blood oxygen or other sensor related functions accurately, maybe. It definitely does not read my blood oxygen or heart rate correctly. I have tested it with actual equipment that reads those things and it did not match. The battery life is a total lie. If you turn off every other function and never use it for anything more than a watch then maybe you might get the advertised battery life. My watch battery is completely drained after thirteen hours. To sum up, I do really like it and I wish I could love it, but I expected a lot more from a $400 watch. I can not say if I would recommend it because maybe my experience is different and maybe other people had better luck.

Very happy with my purchase. Upgraded from the watch 5 active. Happy the rotating bezel is back. Watch is sleek and classy. Not too big for my small wrist. Great battery life and features. Light weight and easy to sleep in.

I have been a fitbit gal for years. With fitbit seemingly going away, i decided to make the switch to samsung watch. I like it. Its pretty and fun to change the watch faces. Its larger than my fitbit but i am used to it now. I have not used it to its full capacity yet. I am still learning how to read the health monitoring and stuff. It doesnt stay charged as long as my fitbit did either but i have figured out a schedule. Obviously i miss what i had but i am also enjoying this watch. This old dog is learning new tricks. I love the bevel.

All these watches (Apple, Garmin, whatever) require recharging more oftren than I'd like but sans that this is a really cool piece of tech. I purchased it to try it out and have easily decided to keep it. Also the heptic feedback and the watch face dial are done well. Also the dial is fully configurable, I added a digital watch face (see pic).

Having to charge every night is a big issue with this type of device. What is the point of having sleep tracking if the battery drains during the day?
