This watch is everything I've missed about the original Samsung Watch (I've missed you, spinning bezel!!!!), with two exceptions: 1) the newer software is so much more appealing, which I was mostly used to since I owned the Pro 5 right before, but I feel it looks so much better on this watch, and 2) the Pro 5 has superior battery life and I do miss that, but I've quickly realized this watch's charge lasts for as long a I need it to, and longer. In conclusion, I am significantly happier with this iteration of the Samsung Watch than I ever was with the Pro 5 and am satisfied with my upgrade.
Stainless steel makes its very durable. This also makes it slightly heavier but in a premium product kind of way. If your used to wearing a watch, you don't notice the weight. I get about 1.5 days of battery with the always on display and about 3 days with it off. The bezel is what makes it unique compared to other modern smart watches, including Galaxy Watch 7 models of Samsung watches. You do get the memory and chip upgrades with the 7's but it's not a big enough upgrade to notice in form or function. I upgraded from a watch 4 44mm with no bezel. It's a noticeable upgrade in everything it does. My only complaint is that the band I ordered with it was not the band it came with (happened with the 4 as well) but the fake leather ended up being incredibly comfortable so I'm glad it ended up the way it did. I've had it about a month and I've wacked it on everything you can think of (accidently) and it looks like I pulled it out of the box today. To finish it all off, Samsung offered me as much in trade in credit for my watch 4 as a paid for it new! When you think about that, I got to use a premium smart watch for 3 years on Samsung's dime.

I have had this watch for over 1 year. I love the watch and features. They need to add longer battery life.
