Amazing Watch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, this watch is amazing. It's a great extension to my Samsung phone. I have purchased almost every version of Samsung's watches, and this is by far the best. It's very sturdy. I'm very rough and expect my watch to be rugged and last.
The watch is very sleek and appealing. The 42mm is a great size. I can use the Galaxy Wearable App to customize my watch face. There are so many choices. There are also plenty of bands to purchase if you want to customize it even more.
I have my watch set to automatically track my activities. After 10 minutes of the activity, I will get a notification about my activity. Sleep tracking is also a useful feature. It's very comfortable to sleep in, as well. It only uses about 1% of the battery while I sleep. It also has the capability to completely sync up with the features from my Samsung phone. I use it to snooze my alarm on my phone, which is very useful, especially when my phone might not be nearby. I connect with my music apps, and I can seamlessly stream my music. You can even download music from your phone to your watch and sync it up with bluetooth headphones. You don't even need your phone nearby when working out. It will all sync up
Samsung Pay is an amazing feature. It is so easy to use and secure. It sets up with a pin, so it doesn't activate on its own. I hold down the top button and it activates. I just flip my wrist to the kiosk's sensor and the payment is secure. You can set up multiple cards and swipe to which one you want to use. I have never had an issue with keeping my information on my watch. Also, you can earn points with Samsung rewards with purchases, and exchange for items or prizes.
The battery life is great. The battery lasts for days. I've decided the best time to charge it is when I'm at my desk, when I'm sitting and not being active. The magnetic charger is great, it attaches well for charging.
LTE connectivity is great. I don't need my phone. I've had my phone die and I can keep connected with my watch, even with maps and directions
I would 100% recommend buying this watch.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Smart Sleek Fitness gadget

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The watch arrived with perfect packing and it arrived on time for summer.
I just love the fact that Samsung is creating more and more fitness watches with all the features a fitness freak loves. Fits well on my hand skinny hand and doesn't slip off when I sweat. I use it for my gym, jogging and other workouts. It keeps good track of my workouts and steps. The battery life is longer than I thought. The other features like messages, calls, and notification are fasters and quick. I got an extra strap with the watch. That's so cool. I have been more active, all thanks to this watch. Love it !!

Great Smart Watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Galaxy Watch is one of the most refined smartwatches you can buy today. It has Impressive 1.5 days battery life (turn Wifi and Bluetooth ON). It looks like a real wrist watch compared to the Apple Watch. The circular screen and rotating bezel make it stylish, and easy control. The 1.2 inch Super AMOLED screen is bright and color-rich, it full utilities the Samsung Technology. It can automatic measure heart rate and auto tracked run. The drawback is 1) no Google Map, WhatAPP or WeChat, 2) only support NFC Samsung Pay, not MST anymore. 3) Bixby is not good compare to Google Assistant or Siri. The phone is working great with my Samsung Note 9, it seems not working well with iPhone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took my new Galaxy Watch to my phone provider for easy installation. I have a Galaxy phone and it's fully compatible with Android and offers everything my phone offers. I like that it has a fitness app and constantly reminds me to get moving. It applauds me when I made my daily step goal and let's me know when I'm close but need to start stepping. I don't need my phone in order to receive calls so I don't need to bring my work and personal cell phone into customers homes. I like that I can read my text messages, see photos and there are easy responses pre-programmed in the watch to answer quickly. The interface is easy to navigate with all my favorite apps on my watch. The rotating ring on the watch makes it easy to find the apps I'm looking for. I like the size, shape and solid black color. You can change the clock face with the Samsung app on your phone. The battery life has lasted 3 days without charging. I am very impressed with my watch and find myself looking at my wrist more than my cell phone allowing me to spend more time with my family. I like that it has the capability to pay for items with Samsung pay. You can use Bixby to schedule appointments and update your calendar.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Cool Watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy the watch and especially love the color. It also seems durable and know it does well with water resistance (survived a major down pour on a couple occasions) I really like how it monitors your HB and and stress level (although I am unsure how it reads because it seems to be a bit off at times). My biggest complaint though especially at first it was hard to navigate which usually i am very good at navigating products and almost all the products in my home are Samsung and seeing some color fading on the face already. Overall though truly recommend. I am hoping to get my husband one soon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this watch for half a year now and the battery life is horrible! Had it on the charger last night. Put it on about 530AM and it's only going on 3PM and my battery life is at 30%.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome but small

This is a awesome watch. I loved how it would connect to my note 9 and i was able to look at text, calls right on my wrist. Only downside is for me being a big guy and watch being small i dont think i would wear it often. It is nice but looks like im wearing a womens watch. It is an amazing watch and loved how a single charge would get me 3-4 days of usage! I loved utilizing the answering calls and texting. Made my life so much easier! It helped me conserve my phones battery life as well. I wasnt pulling my phone out to check since i could do that on my wrist. I wouldve loved to keep this but i think i might be getting a bigger on so it looks presentable on my wrist. This is a perfect size for females or if your wrist is small. If they had a camera on this, i wouldnt even need my phone haha. The lte feature is VERY useful. I could receive calls and text even if my phone wasnt near. This is perfect for being at the gym and being able to utilize your watch to its max. Its a beautiful looking unit and very very eye catching. I had many people ask me what kind of watch is that. It looks much more expensive than one would think. Only reason i gave it 4 stars is due to the size and im reviewing this exact watch. Beautiful watch but small in my opinion.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great watch and accessory

from Grass Lake
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Week one of having this watch and it doing great. My only complaint is the band, they are sized a little small, I have large wrist and the large band is almost too small. But not to big of a deal, that's the only reason for the 4 star rating. The battery life is I would say as described, I have noticed if you don't keep your phone with you and connected via bluetooth, it dramatically shortens the battery life. I can only get 1 day out of it, when not connected through my bluetooth. But it still works great, no change in features, Calls are clear and loud, no complaints on the other person hearing me. I love using the Samsung health app, it updates your phone and you can keep track of everything right on the watch with ease. I really like the smaller size, I didn't want the 46mm, I think its a little too big, this feels like a normal size regular watch, comfortable to wear.
