    Horrible battery life. I wish i kept my Apple watch. Also, the step count (main reason i have this) is wildly inaccurate. They don't even measure when cutting grass (Apple did!). Another selling feature for me was the ability to track blood pressure. That's a non eyeing feature. Stick with Apple if you're thinking of switching - or a completely differdnt brand !! I wish i saved my box so i could return this but i didn't so now I'm stuck.

    So this is my second one of these as the first would NOT hold a charge for longer th15 hours even when unused. My second one has a little longer battery life but still does not go beyond 18 hours. The volume on it is horrible, you can turn it up and it goes right back down. The health monitors on this watch are nothing near reliable. Overall this was a huge waste of money

    The battery was consuming me!

    I spent more time charging and worrying about charging it than enjoying it. The battery did not last 18 holes of golf because I was using the GPS in the app. Every time I looked at my watch I thought more about charging it than using it. This is not a good elliptical workout tracker either. It picked up only about 1 out of 5 steps. Loved the screen quality. Back to my Garmin Venu 3s.

    Upgraded from watch 7 40mm small and the strap on the watch 8 is smaller then previous Galaxy watches. Also the square piece that is whether graphite or silver reflects the sun so bad it makes it a nightmare to use during the day outside
