Tracking is wrong
on August 31, 2025

Samsung junkie for 20 years. Love Samsung products and only buy Samsung for technology. That may change now. Recently upgraded phone, head phones, and watch. 2 out of 3 are disappointing enough that I would return them if I could. So the watch, looks awesome and thats where the complicates end. I was so excited to get the extra tracking things that the Watch 4 couldn't do but they don't matter because the tracking is way off. It has me sleeping for 4 hours and snoring for 5. This sucks because I've come depend on the tracking from my watch to adjust my life accordingly for health. The other issue is notifications. I won't get text notifications on my watch or phone sometimes. This happens only when I have the watch on. Love the look and idea behind the watch if it only worked. Samsung please don't reply with a user guide clip, this is my 5th Samsung watch over 16 years, it just doesn't work like its supposed to. Samsung quality is going down unfortunately.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great watch

Very nice looking, love the feel and how it all works. One of the reasons I got it was for the sleep apnea function, ive had the watch for a week now, done everything It says but every morning I get the "not enough data" message, so I'll just give up on that.

Love the bigger face
on August 29, 2025
Posted by: Murph1212
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the galaxy 7. I like the bigger face and the bezel. It is bit heavier but you will get used to it. The AI features are cool and connects with my earbud pros. Highly recommend
