This watch feels too big for my wrist - and it becomes uncomfortable to wear for long periods. I wanted it to track my sleep - and that's just not an option for me with this watch. The battery dies FAST. I have to charge it every other day.

I stay loyal to Samsung, as I love the ecosystem. This is my first LTE one though! It gives me piece of mind in case something happens to my phone. Only complaint is the short battery life, but it chatges lighting fast!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice watch. Horrible Battery Life
on February 1, 2026
Posted by: Its okay
from Summerville,SC
Expertise:Intermediate
It's an okay watch. I purchased it to stay within the Samsung ecosystem and was hoping for smooth integration with my phone. Everything works fine: nice gesture controls, good screen color and brightness, and awesome features.
However, the biggest problem is battery life. I am averaging a day and a half, and this is with some features turned off. I assumed battery life would have improved over previous generations, but it's actually worse. I have had other smartwatches with similar feature sets that could last nearly two weeks. Disappointing battery life for a modern device.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
