[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This new watch is better in every way over the other watches. The design is very controversial but I really like the uniqueness of the design. The watches UI and environment is great with now having Galaxy AI built in with the watch, able to do very fast and direct answers to your questions. The battery is a bit better than my older watch, but not expecting much more since I got the smaller size. Overall I have no setbacks and no regrets upgrading to this watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that it is easy to use and can run several things at once: work email, vídeo and games! Also, does not ever overheat! Amazing all around!
The watch soes exactly as however the problem comes in with the battery life. The battery does not last a whole day even with power saving turned on. I find myself having to charge my watch several times a day depending on what I am using it for. That is very inconvenient and a waste of time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
