I've been a fan of Samsung for a long time but they knocked it out of the park with the frontier. I use this daily and only need to charge it once weekly. Love making and receiving calls on my wrist as well as reading and sending texts.

I've had several smartwatches and this is by far the best and most user friendly. So many things you can do with this watch and it looks great. The battery life on this thing has been great, I'm getting a solid 3 days out of a charge!

I have had the watch for a week and let me say that it's comfortable and fairly user friendly. If you have larger wrists and fingers then this is a good watch. There aren't a great deal of apps outside of the health and fitness apps that are standard fair. It's nice to be able to get notifications about calls, texts and emails but unless your a gym goer or a techie then your not really going to get your money's worth. There is an over abundance of free and pay for watch faces to fit anyone's style and tastes.

Can't begin to explain how happy I'm with the watch. The best part is that it actually looks like a watch and not a square box. I would be happier if there were more choices of apps for this but regardless does everything you need.

I've owned quite a few smartwatches - but this is my absolute favorite - it measures all of my metrics that I like and many more, including sleep, running, cycling, working out, golf, steps, walking, pushup, shoulder presses, yoga, and so much more.. Helps with fitness goals, including food, nutrition, has interchangeable watch faces, lots of apps, reminders, email, text msgs, notifications, etc. So much stuff, I cannot name it all... Very easy to buy different color watch bands online at amazon (very large selection). Very, very impressed.

This makes it faster and easier to being updated with emails, messages, notifications and articles.
Also great for receiving calls. The speaker is pretty loud and clear. People say they hear me perfectly when I talk through my watch. When I need more privacy I use my bluetooth ear set. They both connect to my phone at the same time so no need for switching the bluetooth connections.
The look and feel is awesome. It holds pictures and music. The watch faces are great. They offer many choices for looks. You can also customize many of them.
You can use the touchscreen to swipe and press. Or you can use the bezel to scroll.
I like using the calendar and reminder features. The apps that count steps and heart rate are bonuses. There's so much to do and I'm still discovering more.

Fits well and I like that it came with two size bands. I love the look, feel and weight of the watch. This is well built and has a nice charger. The battery last better than any other Samsung watch available a solid 2 days. I wish there were more apps available and the vibration was better I don't feel it vibrate every time. Overall nice product.

Best smarwatch next to Apple

This is the best smarwatch available next to the Apple watch lineup. It beats all of the current Android/Wear OS devices with the exception of maybe the new Montblanc Summit 2 (although that is a $1k device). The battery is excellent, the screen is clear and bright, the bezel navigation is so natural to use, and the strap/band/bracelet possibilities are endless as it’s a standard watch lug size.
TizenOS has improved greatly and has all of the features you need with no unwanted excess.

I use this samsung watch with an iPhone and it has a couple of issues but overall it does what I need it do for me. I really wanted it just for notifications of emails and texts, but it also tracks your steps, stairs, and heartbeat. It sometimes has connection issues with bluetooth but I'm sure it's just cause I don't have an android phone.

So the reason for the 4 stars is as follows I CANNOT GET VOICEMAIL NOTIFICATIONS.
Sprint is my carrier so it is Bluetooth not LTE. Samsung could not help me Sprint read me directions from at&t on google.Geek squad guy says he hasn't really messed with the watch.Other than that it is a nice watch long lasting battery love the watch faces.

The watch I've been waiting for.

I've seen friends with Apple Watches, and do you know what I always say? It's an ugly square. I hate square watches. Watches were meant to be circular. There have been really good circular watches coming out recently (I got the Huawei Watch, but it scratches and scuffs up too much from the polished exterior), but this one just looks beautiful. And the real killer feature? The wheel around the display is used as a navigation element! All you do is rotate it one way or the other. It's so intuitive and has a great clicky/tactile feel as you rotate it. Also, being the Frontier version, it tracks pretty much everything: barometric pressure, altitude, heart rate. It is able to know the kind of exercise you are doing also.
There are also some nice style touches: the watch faces have a reflection that rotates as you move the watch to mimic real to life reflections.
There is obviously a disparity when it comes to apps supporting Tizen OS, but ask yourself this: does it matter? How many apps do you use on a watch? The ones I used the most over the past few months were checking messages and emails. This is all still doable, especially if you have a recent Samsung phone.
Battery life I'd say is on the great end for a watch. I have had issues where something will cause it to drain quickly. But the last recent charge has seen it only drain 6% across so far about 6-7 hours. That means after 24 hours it would be down to around 76-78%. This means you can expect to get around 3 days in normal use (I check emails and messages all the time and keep the always on display off.)
Another great feature is where you can enable an SOS feature (for if you are in trouble) You click one of the button three times and it quietly informs a contact of your choosing that you need help and it sends a gps tracker site to them. A nifty little addon that you don't find in a lot of watches.
All in all, I'm very happy with the build quality and polish of this watch. The lovely dark grey finish is great and the top is not that shiny polished look so it so far has shown no scuff marks. I am also one who loves silicone wristbands because it keeps the watch on your wrist better instead of the leather bands that cause a heavy watch to slip.
Enjoy!

This watch is good has many options to use and themes to choose. It tells you to walk and work and also has notifications at your hand. Helps you find your phone. But if you are taking it to answer your calls that may cause pain keeping your hand at a distance to ans the all. Rest was good. You have to charge every next day was a bummer.

There are so many great features to this watch. I think one of my favs is Samsung Pay, it really freaks people out when I pay with my watch. I also love the heartbeat tracker and the step counter. They are both very useful.

best smart watches I ever had.also It's easy to use. Just pair up and you're ready. You don't
have to pull out your phone from pocket/purse to know
who's calling or what email you received. That's just the
beginning.

Bright, a little confusing for an old man, probably easy for all others. battery savings mode gives long no charge life, but lacks some of the betters basics, overall, I work, shower, sleep in it and it is holding up well

Seen it online and received it as a gift for Christmas. Hands down coolest gadget I own and I love electronics. Easy to use and to remap all the apps on it. Love controlling my music from it. Would totally buy another.
