Over all the watch is good and the only problem I have is that the watch left me with a red spot in my wrist where the light sensors are under the watch so I keep moving the watch every few hours so I don't get red marks on my wrist again from the light sensors area again which is the only reason I didn't get those red spots again for now. I don't know the reason for those red circle shaped marks or spots. Other then the problem above I am happy with the watch I have right now
Love the new galaxy 8 watch. I upgraded from my galaxy 4 watch. Love the sleek design and graphite color. Love the added heath features and customized display setting.
Love my new watch 8 LTE, its quick to respond, its alot slimmer. The screen colors sre more vibrant. I really thought I would miss the rotating bezel bit I don't. Satisfied so far its been 3 weeks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Functional but with battery life was better

I switched from Garmin to this Samsung watch since the life of my Garmin was coming to an end (had it for about 5ish years) and the most up-to-date model wasn't exactly wallet friendly. I was looking forward to having the fitness features as well as being able to make phones calls/text from the watch. The health features are great. I enjoy the suggested exercises throughout my day and the move reminders (though Garmin has those too). The sleep app appears to be more accurate than my Garmin was, but again, it was about 5 years old, so technology has changed a bit. Some additional fun things are that my car app is on the watch, so I can start my car from it; I can check my email, view photos, and scroll through entire text conversations. There is, however, one big downside that may keep me from buying a Samsung watch in the future, and that’s the battery life; it’s practically nonexistent without most features turned off. My Garmin – in the beginning – lasted about 10 days to two weeks, towards the end I got about 5 days of battery life. The Samsung watch barely makes it a full 24-hours without needing to be charged. I’ve done what I can to make the watch life as efficient as possible: putting on night-time DND, brightness setting, limiting background apps, charging pause to protect battery life. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do me much good. On the bright side, it charges very quickly, so I’m not waiting hours to get a full charge.
