[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the all new galaxy AI it's even easier to use due everyday purposes. This watch works perfect for me while I'm working in my construction field. It tells me how many steps I take, heart rate and when I'm exercising and when I'm idle. It even tells me when i need to stretch etc. It's perfect for all occasions and you can also talk on it if your phone isn't close to you. I love it and all of the features just a overall smart buy!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Watch is great to accurately count steps, monitor bpm and reminds you to get moving if staying stationary too long.
Coming from an S3 watch to the S8 im disappointed that the battery doesn't last 3 days when my S3 lasted 5 days... also tried to use my S3 on my new S26 phone and it couldn't connect 😕. Just don't be surprised..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
