I am a big Samsung fan, but this watch was a HUGE disappointment. After a week of giving it a shot I just had to return it. Giving Samsung the benefit of the doubt I received a "dud" but if other users are reporting the same issues, then Buyer Beware. The watch did not hold a charge for more than 12-14 hours at a time. So much for tracking daily steps (or heaven forbid, anything more intense) when you have to take it off in the early evening and sit it on a charger in the middle of the high activity part of your day after work. I hardly got to use it for any of the special features because it just drained the battery even faster. No thank you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This watch is really the best smart watch if have owned. However I had to return it because the trade in part of my order did not transmit it and Samsung basically that was my problem. Without the trade in I couldn't justify the expense. Great watch and lousy policy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First is first. AI is a big step. You can do all possible task without needing the internet. The first time for years. I can do a lot of tasks fun stuff without the need to be entangled. This quanum physics for me. Not to mention the sleek look of the black color, the awesome look, the upgraded screens and cameras. I'm telling ya, I'm in love.
Watch came extremely early loved the new features on it and the watch is extremely fast in the 3 days I have owned it the watch has never lagged the battery life lasts well over 2 days in my usage sleep tracking is amazing the interface is awesome I love the double pinch feature and the shake feature the watch is an excellent purchase in my opinion!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best watch yet! Fits great love all the features good battery life and fast charging. With the AI voice assistant makes the watch a breeze to navigate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a good upgrade from my galaxy watch 4 classic. It's faster and has better features. Oh yeah, there's the Galaxy AI. I have not tried it, but it's probably good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad that I made this purchase. I was hesitant to get a watch. After having it for a week, I am glad I got one. It has been useful to me. I am not sure if it has or how to galaxy AI on this device but with all it's features, you'd never know. Best things I like are being able to text form it, the gestures to stop audio, and the sleep tracker. All in all its a great watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from Watch6 Classic. This watch is 1mm bigger and I don't need the rotating bezel. AGE Stat new for me, perhaps enabled with Galaxy AI. Look forward to improving my score. Been using and still use the sleep coaching. But AGE is a welcomed addition for me healthwise. Battery life seems to be the same as my prior watch.
