Battery is horrible

I was a fitbit user of 10+ years and switched to Samsung when Google ruined fitbit. I was excited to see how the watch would work with my Samsung phone (I've used the phones for years). Porting data in/out was terrible, but that isn't a huge deal given that you only do that when switching platforms. However the battery is so awful I won't be buying another. For example, I charged the watch fully by 10pm on Saturday, I did not use any GPS or audio features on Sunday, and the watch was at 8% Monday at 8am. If you use the GPS, the battery drops even faster, meaning you essentially need to charge it daily. That's literally ridiculous, and I've given up on this watch after less than a year. I've adjusted all sorts of settings and continue to see abysmal performance. If the battery didn't suck so hard, the watch would probably be great!

Regret trading my Fitbit Sense 2 for this watch. Sleep tracking is absolutely HORRIBLE. I usually love Samsung products. I've only ever owned Samsung phones for the past 20 years and I have several other devices and appliances. This watch does not meet their normal standards.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using this watch for over a year and love using it for daily life, work, and various activities. However, I am writing a review because this watch saved my arm after getting bit by a cane corso! If it wasn't for the watch, my tiny petite arm could've been punctured or worse, fractured a bone. Thankful for this watch! At the end of the day, I just have a small bruise on my arm and the watch is unscathed! Samsung for the win!
Also battery life, connectivity, comfort, display, all are great. Love that I can customize it for different occasions.
Replaced my 4, loving my 7; great trade in offer. Well worth the price to trade up, sleek and smart, this watch is a great twin to my upgraded Samsung S26 phone
I really enjoy the devide. It does everything I need it to do. The battery life isn't great, but not terrible either. Usually lasts a day and a half before it dies.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the watch funtions. Also, the face I use has heart rate, steps, UV index, time, date, weather - everything i want to know throughout my day. I only wish the color was true to the picture and my expectations. I expected a slight Goldstone watch with a cream colored band. The watch is more of a soft brushed chrome and the band looks white to me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The watch functions really well and has all the features I was looking for. The only downside is the battery life—I wish it lasted more than a single day before needing to be recharged. Other than that, it's been a great device.
