Enjoying my samsung watch
I have been a fitbit gal for years. With fitbit seemingly going away, i decided to make the switch to samsung watch. I like it. Its pretty and fun to change the watch faces. Its larger than my fitbit but i am used to it now. I have not used it to its full capacity yet. I am still learning how to read the health monitoring and stuff. It doesnt stay charged as long as my fitbit did either but i have figured out a schedule. Obviously i miss what i had but i am also enjoying this watch. This old dog is learning new tricks. I love the bevel.

Its ok, not great.
So I was really excited for this watch. I wanted it so that I could track fintness stuff but also be able to not have to always have my phone in hand. Love that I can make calls and send texts. I also love the design. It does give a more classic watch feel and the physical bezel that you can use to navigate the screen is a very nice feature in my opinion. In concept its great. In practice it leaves some things to be desired. You have to wear it unbearably tight for it to read your heart rate, blood oxygen or other sensor related functions accurately, maybe. It definitely does not read my blood oxygen or heart rate correctly. I have tested it with actual equipment that reads those things and it did not match. The battery life is a total lie. If you turn off every other function and never use it for anything more than a watch then maybe you might get the advertised battery life. My watch battery is completely drained after thirteen hours. To sum up, I do really like it and I wish I could love it, but I expected a lot more from a $400 watch. I can not say if I would recommend it because maybe my experience is different and maybe other people had better luck.
