[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch is an amazing outdoor companion. From tracking my workouts to showing me the way home with a compas built into the screen, this watch has been nothing but phenomenal. After using the watch for a week or so, the battery life seemed to extend itself, learning my patterns and how I used the watch really did make a huge difference in longevity. I can use the watch for almost 3 days without a charge which is amazing because I am horrible about charging my devices, which brings m to another point. The charging rate is super fast, for those times when you only have 10 minutes and need to get a days worth of a charge. Even using this at the water park was awesome. The water resistance is phenomenal and handled the water slides and wave pool with ease. The best part is the Samsung pay app, being able to tap to pay and use a QR code for my water parks season pass means I don't have to carry my phone with my and can enjoy my families company without any distractions.
Definitely a significant/noticeable upgrade on the 5 PRO that I traded in. Its quite an apparent uptick in the look, performance of this watch over the 5 PRO. Thought I'd find the orange strap and coloring on the watch a bit jarring but the best way to counter that misgiving is that its best to view the watch in person. Given that I'm bit taller than average, the larger size of the watch fits me perfectly as the 5 PRO was a touch small for me me. I don't even miss the rotating bezel. Its not perfect as the battery life could be a tad better, but its important to mess with the respective settings and features to get the desired batter life.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this watch to replace my watch 4 classic, and I have to say It was by far one of the best decisions I've ever made. I use it for everything from running to sleeping to checking my heart rate at work. Texting my boss's, friends and family when I don't have my phone on me is great. Galaxy AI writes my messages which makes it that much easier and less stressful for me personally. I started going to the gym more after I bought the watch. It really incentivizes you to want to work out because of its ruggedness and the compatibility to Samsung health.
