    This is a great watch. It connected to my phone with ease and does it job well. The only issue i had was the heart rate sensor smashed but with the replacement plan, i went and received a new one for free

    The watch is great. The interface is clear and the battery life is better than the galaxy or apple watch I had prior. The band is irritating but I an going to buy a leather one. All in all, it's really great!

    Read the reviews online before buying it in bestbuy. But this watch looks better in person than in pictures. Works great with my galaxy note.

    What a Watch

    I really love this watch because it has many useful functions. I like the fact that it notifies me of texts and phone calls. I was constantly missing phone calls because I have to have my phone on vibrate at work and it was in my pocket. Now, I can feel it vibrate on my hard. Also, I like that it reminds me to get up and move around. My favorite function is the ability to change the watch face. I have been changing between Batman and Superman. This watch looks nice with my beaded bracelets. I have attached a photo for review.

    I would have never purchased this watch if I had to pay full price. However, it is worth full retail. I have weight issues and my doctors have been screaming at me to lose weight and get into shape. Because the S3 keeps track of physical activity and because of my competitive nature, I find myself trying to out walk yesterday's time. For that reason alone it is worth it. The other features are also geeky cool... talking through the watch "Dick Tracy " style, checking messages, and changing face styles keeps me from getting bored.

    It is a great watch but it gets hot when charging.

    I like the this watch, everything from setting reminders for appointments and meets, to hands free (speaker phone), and controlling my music library. The only issues that it has is the battery life due to it getting really hot when charging it for to long which causes it to reduce the battery percentage making it look like it is not charging at all. I don't mean over charging it, charging it for more than an hour even if it says an estimated of 1 hr and 5 mins. And yes I have tried different chargers just to rule out that it is not the charger that was faulty. I just hope that Samsung fix this issue soon. Again great watch, but issues with it getting hot while charging it and causing the battery percentage to drop instead of increasing.

    The watch has a really appealing look to it and I get asked about it a lot. Most people don’t even realize it’s a smart watch until they ask about it. Unfortunately I had an issue with my S8 and got switched to an iPhone. Good news is that it still interfaces with my phone, but it is very limited (thanks Apple racketeers). Overall, if you have a Galaxy phone this watch is amazing! Even if you are on an iPhone it’s a nice wrist piece that does enough to meet most of your needs.

    Nice style, design, apps, If you turn off the bluetooth periodically you can get more battery life. I would purchase another one.

    Bought for hubby's 36-year retirement from the Army, you know, in lieu of the "gold watch" some companies used to give long-term employees when they retired. He was a little daunted by it at first, but now he LOVES it! And I love that he's a little more accessible when he has his volume down on his phone because his watch tells him when someone (me) texts him! :-) He especially likes the step-tracker, which I didn't think he'd even pay attention to. I like his watch so much, I would probably get one for myself if it wasn't so BIG!

    This watch is among the best digital watches out. Samsung 3 took their time in making this watch now he is it after that 8 but it's also stylish of a casual watch this will be a great Father's Day or birthday present.

    For any Android phone, there is no better watch period, if you have a Galaxy phone that is even better, they work as one unit

    The device itself is amazing, but it doesn't run Android OS. Huge mistake by Samsung to build their own OS. Way behind Android Wear on apps available and not catching up anytime soon. Buy an LG Sport or another Wear watch.

    I really like the watch, but the heart rate monitor on the blaze was better. I felt like it kept much better track of calories burned as well. I like the added connectivity and features of this watch to my phone.
