I used to have a Moto360 that would barely last 8 hours. This watch can easily last 12 hours and still have 87% battery life left. It is very well made, the watch faces are attractive, and the integration with Android phones is second to none.

It does more than I expected and helps my productivity. I don't have to charge it every night, it has a good range on Bluetooth, and Samsung pay is super convenient and easy on the watch. It is pretty big, but big watches fit my style so it works for me.

I wore a Series 2 Apple Watch for the past year, and I've had this for two weeks and I already like several things about it better. The rotating bezel is a brilliant navigation tool. I'm a lawyer and the watch looks sharp and professional with a suit. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase.

So far, so good. A little too big for my skinny wrist, but works well.

I purchased this to use with my new Samsung Galaxy S8+ and to keep track of fitness. I've owned it for just over a week now. I love it! Many beautiful styles of watch faces give you a new look every day, Many watch band styles also give you a new look every day. Helps me track exercise and sleep, keeps me in touch with email and texts without having to always have my phone in my hand. I look forward to seeing more apps being developed for this watch. If you're concerned about tracking your activity and keeping fit, this is a great stylish option for you.

I have had this watch for just about 6 months and I am still living it. It has made daily task so much easier. I am able to track my fitness progress and reply to messages in an instant. It has a great format that is easy to explore.

I decided to replace my fitbit charge 2 with this and it has taken me some time to get used to it. I have a Samsung Note and thought this would be a good companion and as of yet (3 weeks) i am not sure it was the best choice. The battery life is about 3 days if you are using it to it's full capacity, like messaging, email notifications, Samsung Pay, etc. Aesthetically the watch is beautiful, you feel like you have a true timepiece on but as a fitness tracker I would have to say it does not meet my expectations.
Here is why:
The screen to monitor my steps is not easy. Trying to find a watch face that gives me this information has not been easy, i have had to settle for the "Gear Dashboard" which is not pretty.
The size is really big for females. It stands out and even switching the bands doesn't help.
On another note the Samsung Pay option on the phone is great and easy to use.
This is a great smart watch. As a fitness tracker not so much.

I looked at several watches before deciding on this one. I want a watch that would work with both Andriod and iOS. This watch does that and has a great look as well. Battery lasts all day even with all the battery saver off. Got to get this!

I love this watch. As someone who just left Apple to Android/Samsung I can say I have no reservations. Watch works just as well as Apple Watch but looks way better.
I love it and highly recommend it as a supplement to the Galaxy S8+

the best watch by far. My husband loves his smart gear watch. I never have to worry about him, now that he has this watch, he recently had bilateral knee replacement. No matter where he walks or goes he has his watch on. He can call if he has accident . Thankfully he has not had any.

While some women may complain about the size of the smartwatch on a little wrist, I love it and prefer it.
I love the "boyfriend" style that Michael Kors watches put out and this compares aesthetically. Chrome bezel that clicks when you twist the bezel to navigate to different apps and settings are appealing.
I love the Samsung Pay and have used it pretty often.
Even though this is fairly big, I do sleep with it to track sleep and it will automatically measure without setting like the fitbit does.
With customizeable watch faces, this will cater to different looks.
I love using it as a spotify remote control.
The text notifications are great as it works well with replying back via voice or through a keyboard.
Only wish it would integrate with the bixby on the S8 but thats not anything major.

This is the second smartwatch that I've ever owned. The first one being a pebble. Personally I wear watches and was looking to have options for my wrist. Normally I wear a fitbit charge 2, but since purchasing this watch I have not worn anything else. I can call from it, answer texts and have all my notifications. The price is fairly reasonable as well.

Easy to use and feels great. I've found that it doesn't give me many more features than just using my phone. But its a neat toy.
