Coming from a Galaxy watch 4 classic, there are definitely pros like the battery life and responsiveness. However the watch freezes every once in a while, which totally negates the faster experience. I also miss the hardware circular ring, the software emulate version is just not as good, and often doesn't trigger correctly. Yes I should've gotten the ultra, but that thing is so ugly. Honestly I regret not buying a watch 6 classic instead, since the hardware doesn't live up to the hype.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Battery life is atrocious. It's not uncommon to have to charge more than once per day. This is while only using the fitness tracking and minimal text message reading. I can't even imagine how fast the battery would drain if I regularly used the other cool tech.

You cannot turn off the idiotic notifications on the health app. I really like the Samsung hardware quality and the product is a step up from the watch 5 but I really HATE NOTIFICATIONS THAT I DO NOT WANT! Its software so there is a switch for that right? NO. This is the one thing that will make me abandon the whole product line including the phones. It is an unforgivable failure that needs to be rectified soon.

I got this to replace my watch 5. I got the 44mm and it came with 2 bands for the promotion. The default sports band is nice, but I recomend the athlesure band because it looks cool and it has a nice texture.
