I dont like that my energy score gets flagged everyday and I end up getting daily notifications saying to improve my sleep schedule. I work 3rd shift. I'm not going to quit my job just to satisfy a health app.
AOD feature on watchfaces are still an issue. Time read on AOD screen doesn't keep up with actual time and I ended up being late for work one night because of it.

I love all the features of this watch with one exception, the battery life. I have done everything that I can think of to extend it and I still cannot get more than 36 hours off of a full charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great features

I really enjoy this watch. The capabilities are great, the battery life has been solid, and I love the variety of fun watch faces you can customize. I’m also really enjoying the running training feature—it’s been a great motivator while I’m building my endurance. The sleep analytics are another feature I’ve found very helpful and interesting to track.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wristband caused some skin irritation for me. I ended up developing a rash and had to order a fabric replacement band. I previously had an older Samsung watch and never experienced an allergic reaction with that one.
Aside from the band issue, the watch itself has been excellent and I’m very happy with it.
