Happy with this watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this watch as a switch from a popular fitness watch. It is like having my phone on my wrist, which Im still getting used to, but is so convenient. I use it mostly for notifications and exercise and love that it motivates me to move and helps balance my sleep and activity. I wish the battery lasted longer, I have to charge it every other day, but otherwise very happy with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my watch for all kinds of things and now that I've learned how I actually works I'm really enjoying it thank you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a single mom and I work in a busy environment so when I get a msj from my kids I can see if its an emergency or not that way I know if I need to call back or wait till I'm not as busy. If I get a call and busy I can answer thru my watch if i dont have my phone next to me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from someone who never used tech watches, I have to give it to Samsung for this one. Upon receiving the watch, ive been using it everyday and it honestly comes in handy. Never thought about how much I would see myself needing it until it isn't on my wrist. From the track your sleep to being able to send texts and calls. I would recommend this device for casual everyday use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this to track my kid bc A) It was free with my phone plan, B) Kid-specific watches all had some drawback C) They advertised the new parental controls. "School time" shuts off games and ... maybe other things? but it doesn't shut off texting or calling, which defeats the purpose in large part. Also you can't put time limits on any apps, and you can't remove access to apps without fully deleting. All the things I was hoping for, the watch does not support. I'm hopeful it's bc parental controls are new and they're coming. But in the meantime, I'm disappointed. Aside from that it's a solid watch - will be even better if the battery will ever last longer than about a day.
