Interface is a little lagging, especially when displaying charging stauts. Impressive work on the battery. Straps are easily adjustable that's a plus. Outside frame is subject to scratches when used for daily uses.
The new watch has improved battery life and functionality I find useful. Like the thinner watch face and semi rounded square shape of the watch face. Calls seem clearer and those Ive asked did not know I was talking to them on a watch. Recommend upgrading from the Galaxy 7.

So easy my 4 year old grandson uses it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So lets go ahead and say that this is by far the best watch I have ever had. I love how you can personalize the watch face. I currently have it rotating with pictures of my dog. This watch is also a life saver, literally. It can detect if you have sleep apnea, heart issue's or different health concerns that you need to go and see a Dr for. That is because it uses AI capabilities to. I also love the health features built in to the watch. I take my dog for several walks a day and I forget to set the exercise feature and it does it for me. Listen, this watch is AMAZING!!! Its worth every penny and you will not be disappointed at all. Just go buy the darn thing.

Great watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch has all the features that anyone would love. This watch works great with my Samsung Z Fold with no problems at all. Also for the value, the price is spread out in payments so low you don't even notice the increase on your monthly bill.
