I traded in the first generation Galaxy watch for this one. It is as advanced as you might expect. Easy to learn and personalize. Lots of nice features. I would give it 5 stars, except the battery is disappointing. My old watch, even after 8 years, would still go from 6am until 10 pm the next night. I thought the new watch would have a better battery, but it only lasted about 28 hours before it went into power saving, and shut off completely about 7pm the second night. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic, but I thought it would last longer than an 8 year old watch. Other than that, I do love everything else about this watch.
The features on this Galaxy watch far exceed previous model I had. Screen brightness, health monitoring functions and sturdy build and fit. My favorite watch and phone brand for a while.
I am pleased with my purchase. It takes time to master this watch and fix all the settings that fit my needs the best (ie the sports individual settings). I just wish this large watch would last longer.
Great watch love the additional features. Unfortunately the battery drains way faster than my Galaxy watch 5PRO did. Overall not a bad watch would like if the battery lasted longer.
