This is the first smartwatch I've owned and im overall happy with it. My sole purpose for buying this watch was to use it as a phone replacement so I don't have to bring my phone with me outside the house in 90% of conditions. I am a small but growing number of people who have just gotten tired of lugging around A phone with me everywhere I go and I find the smartwatch to have just the right amount of tools to get you by in the outside world without a phone. Health monitoring and exercise features are just a bonus.
Battery could be better. I find if you use the watch to its max meaning you send a few messages, make a few short calls, use the stopwatch/countdown timer, maybe use maps, listen to a few songs and start an workout you may be needing to charge the watch again by the end of the day. I often put the watch in battery saver and airplane mode if I know I dont need to communicate with anyone to save battery.
Personally things I would like to see change in future watch Ultra releases are I wish samsung would redesign the watch to make it look closer to one of the garmin watches. I have gotten a few complements on the look of the ultra currently but you cant beat garmins rugged look. I just think the garmins look sharper. I would also like the watch to be bigger. Closer to the 51mm mark. You would get more screen real-estate and have room for a bigger battery. But overall its a great watch.
I love my watch, it has helped me stay up to date on my sleepness, stress level which i like so much. I just dont be likeing the band as much, it leave lines around my wrist, so i unloose it some but then it kinda starts to shift and be even looser. But over all i will not change this watch for anything! Ka-pow
First and foremost the watch and bracket have to be versatile. Nothing is more versatile than a watch with a quality matching metal bracelet. This watch does not appear to allow aftermarket, other bands.

I like the watch but the battery does not even last a full day. It is quite disappointing given the cost of this watch and the fact the the previous models held charge quite a bit longer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
