[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought teh watch in October, have been using this watch everyday for past 6 months and I am quite impressed.
It is best watch for regular use if you work in corporate offices. The feature I like the most of my watch is the health options it has. It detects my stress levels, heart rate, steps , active time etc. I can customized the categories and set the limits for each options.
It's battery like is also impressive, With normal use it can easily go upto a week and if you use heavily it can last upto 8-10hours.
Another feature I regularly use it is fitness tracker. I have started with my workout, and it has flexibility of adding different workout with different intensity, it shows me my calories burns with extreme accuracy. The watch is also water resistance. I was used it during my swim sessions as well to track my speed and progress. It's great for that.
Another amazing thing is it has a good quality built in speakers. When I am cleaning my house. I usually put some songs on spotify and my watch plays them that's pretty cool. And most importantly it has a calculator with tips percentage calculation. It's good when you are out with a group and want to do a quick bill split or tip calculation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this watch! As a mom sometimes you don't always have your hands free to grab your phone, I use Gemini all the time to remind me to check on whatever I am cooking. While working I love the gentle reminder to be active. I did get some extra accessories for mine and honestly I love how it looks. It looks like a high end watch to me. I love the thinner profile as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't worn a watch in several years. I got this to measure my steps to be able to turn it into my insurance for a discount. I got the watch and it auto connected to my health insurance app and it works great. It has a built in compass, which i think is awesome. It let's you choose the face or you can customize it. It works with my samsung S24+ phone. When I get a text, my watch will vibrate to let me know. Normally in my job you can't hear your phone make any noise and if I don't have it in a certain pocket I can't tell that it vibrates, but the watch will to let me know. It is great. It tell me the outside temperature, the time and date and battery life.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised with how many cool features the watch had to track your health, one of the many reasons I wanted the watch in the first place. There's lots of customization options which is also a big plus for me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not my 1st galaxy watch. However 1st one that the battery dies/drains in a couple of hours. No longer can take advantage of my stats at night/during sleep. As of my watch no longer last fully charged overnight. Do you have a horrible part is nowhere to take it to get fixed you have to send it in which is too much time consuming without my watch not even knowing the outcome of it. Starbul can I true use my watch and archuly Love My Galaxy watches until this One.
