Extremely, reliable smart watch. Google maps makes navigation perfect with a Tesla vehicle connection linked on Samsung Galaxy watch 8! Tesla drives on self auto drive mode directly to destination with Samsung Galaxy watch 8!

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.

I will say that the look of the new watch is sleeker. I expected this to be a significant upgrade from my Samsung 4 watch, but it's not. Does it have a few upgrades, yes. But when you use them, the battery dies quicker than the old one I've had for years.

My wife is very happy with her new watch. It was initially for the health features, but she’s having fun learning all of the other things it can do as well. Money well spent in my opinion.

Honestly this was the best money I ever spent. I was having medical issues and my cardiologist suggested I get a watch like this to track my pulse rate throughout the day. I am now never without it.

I love the features of the smartwatch but I don't love the burn it left on my arm. I was sitting watching TV when I felt under the watch a burning sensation. It didn't stop so I removed the watch to find my arm red blistered and seeping. It burned my arm under the center of the watch. The burned area continued to grow a small amount and continue to seep. For several days I had the pain sensation of burning in that spot. It has been over two weeks now and I still have the mark on my arm that I believe will be a scar. I do not recommend this watch. I am not sure what caused it to burn me. I don't know if it was the heat from the watch or something from the lights on the back or maybe it had some kind of leakage out of it. I don't recall the watch being hot just the sensation of burning on my arm even after the watch was removed.
