I've always had a Fitbit. This is my first Samsung watch and I'm very happy with it. It provides me with so much information. I do have to charge it every day or two depending on the type of day it has since it's connected to Google.
While the watch it does what it supposed to do I find that the battery life is not that great. I had Samsung watch in the past, one of the first ones, about 8 years ago, but the battery lasted longer. You have to make sure you charge it at least once a day. The good think is that charges fairly quick.
More features would be available to me if I had a Samsung phone, but I'm a Pixel user. I'm happy with the features that do work on my phone. Connects well to FitOn which is my workout app.
I got this because my friend had the same watch and I wanted to be more professional at work and not be constantly looking at my phone. It has proven very useful.
One of the best upgrades I made this Black Friday.

Just upgraded from the Galaxy Watch 4. There are definitely a few more features that I can enjoy on this model that weren't on the previous generation. I feel more involved with the interactive tech in this watch.
