    Good watch

    I am in love with my watch. I needed it for tracking my health, and so far, it's doing great. However, I'm unsure about the Wi-Fi functionality because my watch doesn’t receive any notifications when I'm not near my phone. Additionally, I dislike having to charge my watch every night; if I change the watch face to a fancier design, I have to charge it twice a day. Other than these two issues, I have no problems, and the watch size is perfect for me. Perfect for me.

    Good watch but there's a catch w free call and tex

    So the watch look, feel, battery and everything looks amazing. But the free 2 year data and texting comes with a catch, so you won't be given any additional number to this service, and your primary phone needs to be on and in network at all times to send text and make or receive calls from the watch. I understand there are other watch services with network which uses the same number as yours, but this is different. I sometimes have to put my phone on flight mode or turn it off, But I expect my watch to do its job. But it doesn't And I also understand that it's not Samsung's fault, it's just the promotion terms with Google Fi they have. But overall it's a good watch.

    The sleep tracking doesn't work all the time, but still overall happy with this new version. Last Galaxy watch was version 4. Garmin still wins overall for battery life and fitness tracking.

    Really like the watch, very comfortable and easy to set up and use. My previous watch was an Amazfit and had a 2 week battery life. This one doesn't even last 2 days but I was aware of that when I made the decision to purchase it.

    my first smart watch

    This is my first venture into smart watches. The hardest part was finding a u tube video that talked slowly and showed good pics of options on your phone. So far so good. Very light, don't even know I'm wearing it. Charge once a day, same as my phone. I bought for the hard fall alert as my sister fell and lay on the floor for 24 hrs. For the price of an extra line on my Verizon account I have a better and cheaper medical alert. I'll never use half of the things you can do on it. But I'm fine with that.

    This watch is so much easier than before. The bands are easier to attach and remove. Gives you the options for larger images (which i need). All around great watch.

    Very nice. The purchase was easy in store. It's very different comfort wise compared to my previous Samsung Galaxy watches. I've had 2 Classics and 2 Actives, but this one tops them all.
