    This watch is a great companion accessory to your samsung device, and, has a great battery life with the 44mm. Lasts me about two full days with a 95% charge

    ​This watch excels at workout tracking and has impressive battery life. Even with the always-on display active for a day and a half, including an 8-hour workout, the battery didn't drop below 30%. However, the design is a bit of a letdown. I wish Samsung had committed to either a circular or a squared design with curved edges instead of the current hybrid approach.

    This watch has plenty of features, but the battery life is really disappointing. Even after disabling all the recommended battery‑draining settings and switching to a simple watch face, I still have to charge it after about 36 hours. I “upgraded” from a Fitbit that did almost everything this watch does—minus calls and texts—and lasted far longer. For the price, I expected a much better experience.

    Attractive, functional, and lighter than my older watches. Downside is that the battery life isn't stellar and the charging rate is quite slow. Upsides are lots of fitness metric tracking and nice new interface.
