Classy looking smart watch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always had square face watch and was not too excited with round watch, but I decided to still try them out. I was really impressed, I have the rose gold color watch and have to say they look very classy, elegant and yet great features for active person.
Set up itself was very easy and intuitive, settings are also very intuitive and easy, bezel is a nice feature and tremendous helps in scrolling up and down through individual screens.
I loved the multiple options for watch face - can make them classy / sporty / geeky depending on your mood and activity. I have been having a lot of fun just changing them every day and surprising friends.
I also love how great they are for tracking workouts, when swimming it was nice to have vibration noting each lap. But during the run, each mile is announced by a voice, which will tell you your speed, distance etc information. That way I don't have to look at the watch to get stats, but can keep on watching my route. I'm questioning the tracking accuracy, as I climbed more stairs that the watch recognized and when I put them side by side by another set of smart watch, calories burned were off as well as steps and distance. I will have to do some more research and playing around as I just scraped the surface of what the watch can do.
I love the durability - I can run and swim in them without worries. I can get soaked during my run or bike ride without worries!
The only con I had encountered is the life battery. For a very active person, that may be a deal breaker. But I'm thinking of really active person, as in one day I went for a 5 mile run outside at about 5am, after that 35 mile bike ride, workout and swim in the evening. Unfortunately by mid afternoon my watch was running out of power and yet it was fully charged in the morning! Battery life for me is the only drawback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This watch keeps me on my toes and it keeps my organization and let's me know when to get up and move and it also let me know when I am stress and has me doing breathing exercises to bring my stress levels down. I am enjoying the features this watch has to offer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The moment I unboxed my rose gold galaxy watch, I already fell in love with it. The color is just what I wanted and the size is perfect. It looks like a very classy, fancy watch and yet do so much more.
I am pleased wiith the wide range of watch faces available to suit and soothe my mood so every time I look at the time, I am put into a good mood ^-^. I also love the auto workout and gps tracking so I can just run without much fiddling on my watch.
I got the LTE version and it was liberating to be out without my phone and still be connected to things that really matter. And with samsung pay, I dont even have to take out any catds or my phone to pay. Every time I use my watch to pay, people around me will be amazed and deep down inside I'm saying, "yes, my watch is smart enough to do that!"
I really really enjoy my watch and I usually can go for 30 hours before I need to recharge as I customized its setting to keep me connected without having to constantly charge my watch.
Galaxy watch gives me so many convience than what I imagined.

Keeps me informed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with this watch. I was going to buy an exercise tracker but decided to buy this instead. I love that it counts steps, measures heartbeat and even tracks sleep. I have it connected to my phone but I didn't set it up to make calls or send texts, however I can still see who is calling and read my texts. It even shows picture texts right on my watch! I have fun changing up my watch face every few days and I will eventually get a different watch band. The watch is very lightweight. I haven't worn a watch in years and I was concerned it would be too heavy. It's also military grade and waterproof. The battery has an impressive life too. Very nice watch, if you are on the fence about buying it, just go for it. You won't be disappointed.

The New Watch Upgrade
on June 21, 2019

from Lake Worth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded to the watch from the Gear Fit 2 and I'm glad I did. I have had the watch for about 1 week now and so far i really like it. I have already banged it around at work several times and it still looks new. As far as features, I was concerned about the 42 mm being large enough. I am happy to sat it is the perfect size for me. It is big enough to see but not too clunky and cumbersome. I like the different watch faces, some look really cool. The health functions are similar, to the Fit 2 so pretty good there. The jury is still out on the 4G LTE feature as I usually have my phone on me so the service has thus far been redundant, but I can see the benefits of it if you are exercising and the phone is too bulky. So far this watch has been excellent and I will update this review with any future useful insights i glean from my experiences with it.

Solid Watch and Phone in One

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Samsung Galaxy watch around a month ago and was really excited when it arrived. The watch looks really nice in the black color and easily blends with the customizable watch faces. Setup was simple in pairing with my Samsung Galaxy S8 and I easily connected it to our wireless plan which allows me to leave my phone at home at times.
The features on this smart watch are amazing too. Samsung Health makes tracking activities a breeze with a heartrate monitor and built-in GPS. I love that my calendar is easily accessible and can add new events with reminders without needing my phone. I was eager to try out the Samsung Pay feature after setting it up and when I finally got the chance I couldn't believe how easy it was. I can go out for a walk, run or bike ride without my wallet or ATM card and not have to worry if I need to run into a store for something. Making and receiving calls and texts with this Samsung watch is super easy. The microphone and speaker work phenomenally with plenty of volume. Texting gives you the option of talk-to-text, keyboard or physically writing the words on the screen. Customizable sounds and vibrate patterns let you know what is coming in without looking.
The battery lasts for about two days of constant use. I found that restarting the watch every once-in-a-while helps to keep the battery from draining unexpectedly. Charging is quick with the included wireless charger stand.
I am extremely happy with this watch and I am still exploring all the new features.

A Watch for a new Era

from laramie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Originally this watch wasn't very useful to me because I don't wear them. I believed that it was faster to get your phone out to check the time rather than use a watch. This watch has changed my mind on that however, I discovered the always on feature in the settings and now i don't even need to pull out my phone! The battery life is affected slightly but for my use that's totally worth it! Also because this watch connected so we'll to my phone I love being able to look down to see notifications! It's just so convenient!
