This takes over 2 hours to charge EVERY day. Health will not open on phone. FRUSTRATED.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comfortable fit. Much lighter than expected. This is my 3rd Galaxy watch. 1st gen, 5th gen and now 8th gen and this is by far the most comfortable. It is also quite a bit lighter, where i have to check to make sure i put it on. Oddly ive had several compliments on the watch, all my the other brands users. They like the shape better than theirs.
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.
