I've been waiting for this watch a long time since my other one has broken. I do really like it don't get me wrong only thing is is I wish the battery would last more than just a day being a new watch.

Google-fi texting did not work

The watch is great! But the 2 free years of Google-fi didn't work for text messages. I had countless calls and emails to Google-fi. I even called my cell phone provider. I finally took the watch back in to Best Buy and stayed there an hour while the tech and the manager tired to fix it. No one was able to. Finally, the manager waived the restocking fee and allowed us to return them for the Bluetooth versions.

First ever smart watch purchase and I'm not a happy camper. It's been 2 months since purchasing and I'm seeing new things about the device daily but the major down side is the battery consumption; IT"S AWFUL. It doesn't last a full day without charging.

Totally disappointed in the Watch 8. I had to remove all security functions just to be able to get the watch to work. I cannot have the security pin on it or anything else because when I did, it stayed locked, and I could not access the watch at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love this watch. It is such an upgrade from my Galaxy 5. So many features to help with my health and fitness goals. Only downside is the battery life.
