    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.

    This watch is more annoying than it is helpful. I have not been able to wear it 2 consecutive days due to the battery is dead more than it is working. Too much $$$ to not be able to use it. I can't give any info on the features, can't use them. My suggestion is don't buy the Galaxy 8.

    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.
