    Have tried a few apps but all require me to use my phone GPS. Doesn't look like the stand alone GPS works. Will update review if Samsung gets it working.

    S voice is very Disappointing

    My main reason for this purchase was that I like to use my phone to make reminders. S voice is very disappointing. It almost never understands what you say, and S voice is unable to most simple actions. it will only make reminders for tomorrow, it will not let you set a date for the reminder even if you do it manually. Also the vibrate alert is so faint that if you're not sitting still you probably won't feel it. Tizen seriously needs Google now compatibility.

    I bought this to use while riding. The only bad feature I didn't like was I had to down load my music then it used all my storage.

    Loved at first, but now the battery life is BAD

    I was very excited about this watch whenever I purchased it, I have really enjoyed it, up until now last week. The battery will not even last 10 hours. I was only having to charge it every two days, but now all of the sudden it wont last. I have only had the watch for 4 months. I do not like that I spent a few hundred dollars on something that won't even stay charged.

    Buggy product

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    One of the main features that attracted me to this smart watch is the "always on display." This provides a mode where the watch activates up to 15% of its pixels, displaying basic information such as the hour and minute. By moving one's wrist, the watch should activate the full display. While this worked for the first few days, the watch failed to respond to wrist movements after a week of use. The first time I encountered the problem, I rebooted the watch which resolved the problem at the time. However, the problem resurfaced the next day and could not be resolved after rebooting. I searched the web and found that others have been experiencing similar problems.

    Pretty disappointed

    Worked fine for about 15 months then started overheating, shutting off randomly, and refusing to charge. It could be a coincidence but it all seemed to start happening after a Samsung software update. Samsung customer service was of little help: They sent me an email with a couple things to try, which didn't work. Then, they said it needed to be sent back for repair at my expense because it was out of warranty. Call me old fashioned, but when I spend over $300 on a watch, I expect it to last longer than 15 months. Between 4 phones, two TV's, a tablet, and this watch, I would estimate we've spent close to $5K on Samsung products over the past 5 years. This watch, and Samsung's poor response, has helped me to decide I won't be spending any more money with Samsung.

    The watch interface is great and works nicely. The design; however, lacks any kind of grace. The watch is large and bulky so much so that the buttons literally dug in into the top of my hand with flexion. I exchanged the watch for something different
