Its an absolute unit of a watch. It is much faster than previous watches and it does not lag on notifications like previous watches did. Absolutely glad I upgraded.
The 44mm watch in creme was better than expected in appearance despite the more limited choices in colors and bands. But the under the hood enhancements have been something else. Bigger buttons, more intuitive software, speed, and the new health features are quite interesting and useful. I was not sure that an upgrade might be worth it from my watch 6, but I now feel that it was very much worthwhile. I'm getting one for my wife now!
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.

[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.
