Samsung - Galaxy Watch Smartwatch 46mm Stainless Steel - Silver

Using this with a Moto phone, it installed cleanly although roughly 4 different apps and/or plugins were required and you have to grant access to a lot of items on your phone. It does drain the phone battery at a noticeably higher level but not excessive, just noticeable. The watch battery is amazing, I've been running on the same charge for 4 days and it's at 46%. You can pick up phone calls and friends tell me the quality is good when I'm talking into the watch. All notifications are delivered to the cell which was my main interest point. You can change the face from classic chrono (the one seen in most of the online pictures) - I use one called Dashboard which is more digital. I didn't really care about the health app but it cheers me on when I run up our steps and you always see your pulse and I used it on the stationary bike which basically gives you a pulse profile and stores the workout. It's all very well done from a software perspective. You can respond to texts and emails by talking into your watch and it also has that finger painting type text input. I'm older and up-close eyesight is iffy but this is easy to read no problems.

Absolutely love this watch. It does more than I was looking for; for example; I like the ability to answer calls without having to take my phone out of my pocket, it was really convenient during holiday shopping sprees. No more missed calls because you didn’t ‘hear’ the phone ring. It supports a lot of apps and lets you configure which ones will show notifications; this allows you to quickly glance at a message and know if it requires immediate attention. It provides all the expected health apps with as much information as needed – great to monitor progress and keep you on track on fitness goals. I highly recommend this watch.

I've been looking to purchase this watch for a few months. And I can't complain about it. I've been able to make and receive calls, receive text messages, and it keeps up with my steps and heart rate. The down side to this watch (which can be a good thing) is that it could prompt you to move or exercise if you haven't done so in awhile. I like changing the watch face to match my color and style for the day. Also, you can purchase and change the watchband. So, in the end, I can't complain about watch.

It was going to be my first smartwatch so I just wanted to get something cheap in order to get my feet wet. I picked this up for just $195 in total on Cyber Monday. I'm very impressed in all categories of this watch. Design, Quality of material, Internal Operation, etc. Despite it being the first Galaxy Watch it still works very well and very fast with this year's Smartphones like the one I'm currently using the Note20 Ultra 5G. In addition to great CPU stability there's a ton and more of watchfaces you can switch to. More than many are free! A side from watchfaces this watch can also operate Apps and games too! The timer App comes in handy for me. Especially when cooking. I open the games when waiting while standing for moment like after making a quick order at the Chinese take out place.

Love the watch! No problems. Syncs with my phone. Gives me alerts and alarms. Auto detects exercise. Customizable. So glad I decided to buy the watch. Totally miss it when it is charging .. but it only charges for about an hour and then can go for days without needing a new charge. Impact resistant. Water resistant even when I forget to take it off in the shower or wash the dishes. I can even answer my phone or respond to text messages from the watch - which I do more often than you would think. I have owned those fitbits but this watch is on a whole other level. Yeah I like the watch a bunch! Move over Dick Tracey - it really works.

I own an Apple Watch but the one thing they truly made this appealing to me was the large and thick 46mm size and a huge round face. It is a well built sturdy watch and it does have some weight to it - so keep that in mind. It certainly does not feel like a "toy" by any means. Also due to the slight bulkiness of this, just be careful not banging this into doors, walls, etc. I have already but no damage, no scratches. The watch face is strong Gorilla glass, no real fear of shattering the face. The silicone band it came with is ok for starters - its light and would be great for those working out. but there are many, many stylish bands you can pick up for this (leather, stainless steel links in many color options, etc) If you can find a 22mm band at other stores, these will work as well with the special "quick release pins" that come with the watch. You can even purchase bezels for this that completely change the look of the watch. Like the Apple Watch, this comes preloaded with some nice looking default Samsung watch faces - however unlike the other big brand name smart watch, you can download literally 1000's of fully working watch faces - that also work with the applications available on the free Samsung Gear app as well so many more very unique faces on 3rd party apps. You can literally have a different watch face every single day for the next 5+ years if you choose. Another cool step, you can download the free Watch Face Designer and create your own and load the finished face via wifi to your Galaxy Watch. The options are endless when it comes to customizing the look. Battery life is very impressive for this, to get the most out of battery life however this depends on what notifications you have set, apps used, It does have an always on option - great for ALL smart watches (no need to life the wrist to trigger the display) Even with these set, battery is still very impressive. But a slight downfall I have noticed is how many apps are available for the Galaxy Watch - compared to the popular AW. But one app I personally like is a GPS app, Map, that literally shows you a full Google like street map right on your watch, I found that very cool impressive. There are also other apps that have no trouble connecting to your smart TV, Google/Alexa devices, even bringing up my Arlo camera on my watch! Another big benefit. I did have this connected to my Samsung Note 9, everything was flawless through that phone for obvious reasons (Samsung to Samsung). But I also did connect this through my iPhone XS (The watch connecting to multiple phones is not possible so you do need to un-pair from one phone in order to connect this to a new phone.) Apple IOS Samsung app does work, but you will lose a few features. Email will work, Apple calendar appointments work with notifications, but text messaging will not. No way to receive text notifications or even sending texts using the watch connected to IOS. Other 3 party apps like Weather, you'll get Instagram notifications - if you have IG. Health apps like heath rate will work. So far after a month of heavy use, I am not disappointed with the purchase at all. It's just a slick looking watch.

I love the watch, its very easy to use, the battery lasts days, vibrates when you get a notification to include FB messenger and gives a lot of pre programmed replys. I have the Galaxy S20 and it was very easy to connect to the Samsung app and there is a ton of really cool free watch face styles to choose from and once downloaded, very easy to change to a different style. The only con I have is that your arm has to swing in order for it to track your steps, so if you're pushing a cart, it won't count those. But all in all, a great watch.

I started buying Samsung watches back when the Samsung gear S3 took the stage. During that time Samsung had a bad habit of releasing updates that would end up breaking the software on the watch; causing a massive depletion of battery life. After 3 S3's and one Galaxy Watch I gave up on this watch and got my money back...(thanks Best buy extended warranties). Earlier this year I decided I really missed having a watch, and the fact that the battery kept depleading was the only reason for disliking this particular model. I heard it through the grapevine that they finally addressed the software issues so I decided to give it another chance. So far I've been very pleased with the way the watch functions, and I'm getting 3 to 4 days worth of battery life even after two updates. It seems like Samsung software engineers finally stop damaging their devices.
