This product is great!

This product has so many cool features, such as GPS, WiFI, Bluetooth, you can also take your calls and make calls from this watch. I personally love it. You can even play youtube!
I didn't do 5 stars since I noticed that some features are not optimized.
-Bike mode (auto), it activates this mode when I'm driving, even at 60 miles per hour
-Auto wake is too sensitive, when sleeping, it turns on, even if no movement at times

Although, a great and good looking product.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers, fancy
Cons: some features are not optimized, need more applications
I would recommend this to a friend!

within 5 minutes the watch was synced to my phone, from opening the package to powering on. I liked how it began syncing to my S health and Gear apps instant. I notice everything was ready to go with some setting modifications. I also like the notification when I was sitting still for an hour....prompted me to get moving.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this smart watch for roughly 3 weeks now, and I've yet to have a complaint. Accepting calls and replying to texts is simple. The built in apps are great. Paying with Samsung Pay is quick and ez.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Built-in speakers, samsung pay

prelim assessment (phone: 1+3)

overall, I like the watch, however, there are still some bugs and compatibility issues and less than intuitive features to overcome with this smartwatch. I'll try and summize it as a pro and con list for anyone interested in this device and wants a users perspective. readers beware, some cons may be due to my inability to find a solution (yet) as I've only had it for a week.
Pro:
voice recognition works well.
voice recognition works well.
good design - i love the wheel on the face to rotate through your "apps". there is an array of custom bands as well for those of you who are dissatisfied with the stock bands, as i was (the lack of band selection for other smart watches was a factor in my decision as style is as important as functionality for a watch wearer).
app selection seems good but I can't compare it to the AW2 store or others.
keeps time well
the alarm is great! vibration and beeps right on your wrist wake me without a hitch. snooze could be longer...I try not to snooze though.
Con:
the voice reader changes the way you interact with the touch screen making it difficult to disable. using voice commands to disable it only disabled the auto voice detection, not the reader.

my phone uses ok google! in contrast to "hi gear" I knew this getting the watch but it is still a con for me to not be able to access the full array of voice commands through my watch and to my phone. (still looking for a solution to a more fluid voice control system).
SMS - I can't send sms via "hi gear" commands. I'm still looking for a solution to this as well. (this discovery actually irritates me a bit) - the only solution i have as of now is to add the contact to the watch or your contacts list, go to their name, tap the message icon and you can use the mic icon at that point...but you can't straight voice command to it.
bug?
using discord app (chat group app) on my phone with headphones plugged in glitches it out completely, for starters the mic will continuously change its input source every half second making audio indistinguishable. but not only does it do that, it seems to flash a contact (usually most recent or top of the list - whoever's name starts with an A) onto the screen. it makes me concerned it will call someone without my desire from a bug of this nature. I'm unsure if this should be fixed on discords app side or the gears OS but it is definitely something that needs to be looked at.
my temporary solution to this is to turn the watch off and charge it when using discord. I havn't tried other chat related apps.

I'd like to think my con listed about the voice reader is a bug, but it actually says it changes the way it functions when activated..
I fully expect to discover more bugs as i get more active with its functionality - but
other thoughts:
the battery life could last longer, perhaps i could adjust settings further, but nearly stock with basic setup complete it seems like the charge will only last 2-3 days. (right now at 37% i have 21 hrs remaining)
typically the input/output will come out on w/e device i respond to.
don't forget to get a samsung account if you don't have one for the app store...thats basically how/why i'm writing this review.
Pros: Durable, Built-in speakers, looks nice, 3rd party bands avail., interface/interaction by default is good
Cons: voice reader affects controls, sms voice control won't work by default on a 1+3, bugs - see comment
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this watch. I upgraded from another Samsung device and this is beyond what I was expecting. I love the speaker feature where I can answer calls, speak text messages, listen to music and speak reminders to be stored on my watch. The display is clear and bright. I have gotten so many compliment about this watch and other who want it for themselves. It is unlike anything else that is currently on the market.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers
