Great upgrade
on March 11, 2026
Posted by: walkableworm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came from a previous generation of Galaxy watch and what was a significant upgrade for me was how slim it feels now. Feels much easier to wear on all occasions, however in the future I would love a magnetic clasp option.

Great until this update. Now it sucks
on March 21, 2026
Posted by: Dave
I absolutely loved my Galaxy watch up until the last update. They "improved" it so much I'm about to take it off and throw it in the trash! Features I use and need won't come up; my screen swipe functions don't work. And every time it comes on I get a screen to set up Gemini, even though I have supposedly turned it off on my phone app. I do NOT want Gemini on my watch. There is so much pushy, obnoxious bloatware! The watch I used to like so much is a piece of crap now.

The Wristband
on July 31, 2025
Posted by: Lovesamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The wristband that is interchangeable wears out after a period of time that isn't long lasting. Also charging the watch does not last all day long especially if it is linked with notifications, emails, text messages and any other messages
