Im finding the battery life to be poor. Design, app tiles, and functionality are pretty good.

I like the features and user friendliness. One complaint is that it is quite large, I ordered the smaller of the two choices but would like Samsung to think about making some sleeker designs. I'm a petite lady and am used to the smaller fitbit watches. The luxe fitbit is smaller and fits my tiny wrist much better. I am enjoying the features more so than fitbit, but would love to see them create some more fashionable designs.
I would recommend this to a friend!
