Love this classic. For a while the bezel was removed, but now its back and better than ever. The bezel swiftly sours through the different options and apps installed making easy to maneuver. Simply the best.
It looks great,few bugs need to be sorted. Bezel is marvelous. Better straps need to be availabe,the connection to watch is nice. You should give connection acceries free, that way are older models bands that we spent so much money can still be used.
Short battery life than it's older version other than that is fine
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not worth the upgrade... I had a perfectly FINE GALAXY 6 WATCH and thought 2 more generations and a super discount would be worth the upgrade it is not worth losing a day of battery life and loss of customary function such as when a notification comes up I lift my hand and it shows (I may be missing something) but I should not have to check several times lol this watch had updated 5 times and the battery has not improved so don't try me Samsung I would looooove my old watch back...
