Sleek & Attractive Design - Horrible Battery
This watch is very sleek looking and has a lot of features. However, the battery is awful. I had to disable almost all of the notifications as it was killing my charge. I only have notifications for texts and phone calls. I have attached a picture of the coloring and such as it is attractive, but the 0% charge after less than a full 24-hrs.

A budget friendly all round watch
If you want a smart watch that does not really break the bank, this one is a solid choice. The Galaxy Watch FE does everything I need it to and does it well. Only drawback is the sort of short battery life, but even then, it will last you all day.
