    Purchased for hubby to go with his S25 ultra. Watch is sleek, lightweight and provides all the health stats he wants. It looks very stylish, can be dressed up or down. He is very happy with it and said it is better than his Garmin.

    Very nice. I switched over from the Apple Watch Ultra and wanted to go with something that was less bulkier and more lowkey and smaller. Loving how light and how nonintrussive its been. Battery Life has been pretty amazing on par with my ultra when not using AOD display.

    Great battery life and face customization options. New health and sleep scores are nice features. The band sent with the product was small and I'll need to buy a larger one. They should give you a band size option. They now use an apple charging base, so I had to go and purchase this, since it did not come with it. Android product using apple product charger? What?

    I upgraded from Watch5. I think it's a great update along with all the new features. I'm seeing a clear improvement of battery life but maybe that is due to the age of my Watch5.

    I like the products it's a good watch I say good because I believe that they could make for people that are older like myself the face a little bigger without compromising other features furthermore and this might be an oversight on my part if the watch can take my temperature then I would appreciate a representative to contact me and give me some insight on how to check that I also believe that with as advanced as we are it should be able to take your blood pressure from what I understand you have to enter that manually

    I liked the watch alot but ended up upgrading it to the s8 ultra watch due to the band itself was too small for myself and i was worried about how my job is that the ultra had the bevel on it would help keep it from contacting obstructions and breaking the glass so i didn't want to take the chance. Only worn it once. I had gotten it for my anniversary present from my wife

    I purchased this watch for my wife who has never been a smartwatch person. However, she wears this watch all of the time now and really likes it. It has a smaller profile on the wrist which she likes, a big, bright screen, and the health apps are great. I highly recommend this watch!

    Great Watch. I'm 67+ and I wanted to have a watch to help monitor my exercising and sleeping with the heart and O2 information as well as sleep patterns. I've changed some life activities after seeing the results. Great information that I can then show my doc.
