This was a gift for my brother, a guy who doesn't buy himself anything and is really appreciative when you get him something he needs, but didn't know he needed it. Lol. Needless to say, my little brother loves his watch! He works out four days a week on top of wanting to be healthier (since he's entering middle age) and I thought this would be perfect for him. He loves that you can build your personal work out routines, and the watches ability to keep track and alert him of when to change sets. He also said he loves the convenience of the gestures. They took a few days to work consistently for him, but once they did, life became a bit easier. So 5 stars from the guy who's nonchalant but greatful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still loving the watch in general. Definitely don't regret the switch despite the fact the 6 was still serving its purpose nicely.

Blood oxygen readings were usually off by 5-8 points compared to ring pulse oximeter, snd sometimes 15-20. Watch 7 is much better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This watch is a nice upgrade from my S3 classic i had for years. I didn't need or want a watch needing a network(i know i don't need to set up the network but you are still paying for the tech) so oi decided on this 8 wifi- bluetooth. It's slimmer and lighter on the wrist, weighs nothing really. The apps that weren't available with the old classic are back and so far i love this watch. the only thing that i had to
get use to was the lack of a turn dial on the face, it's more like swiping a tablet. I am glad to say i got use to it rather quickly.
If you want a new Galaxy watch but don't want to pay for tech you're never going to use this is a great option.
