You should get a good year out of the product

I bought it July of 2021 and it is already failing. I don't do anything unusual. About six months ago it decided it didn't want to turn back on. Eventually, it did. Now, on one side the touch sensors are not working so I had to switch my most active apps to the left side...Now, any screen that wants to open, opens at will. I'm a Samsung electronics girl, a maintenance technician told me never to buy their appliances, I think I will add watches to that list. My tablet(S), which I use heavily in my work, have functioned fine and so have my phones. This watch has been a disaster.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not worth the price
on April 26, 2023
Posted by: Caro_Hoggi95
from North Carolina
Expertise:Intermediate
After half a year the battery gave up, since I still had warranty it was at least no issue to get this repaired. When the warranty was expired, the watch had issues to track down my activties, it either did not measured my hear frequency or did not tracked the route even though GPS was turned on. Now, not even 2 years old it stopped working at all after getting in touch with water, with having the water mode turned on. This really is disappointing for the price I paid back then...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not water resistant??
on June 5, 2023
Posted by: Brian in MN

Expertise:Intermediate
I have had this watch for 2.5 years and have loved it. However, I wore it swimming a couple weeks ago and the battery has been draining *crazy fast* - I've reset it maybe 10 times and still on the fritz. I think a watch that costs as much as this one should last longer than 2.5 years!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Faulty after 1.5 years
on June 5, 2023
Posted by: FaultyProducts
from Illinois
Expertise:Intermediate
At first I was very happy with the watch. It tracked steps, calories, and my workouts however the battery life was not as advertised. I would have to charge the watch every night and by the time I would head to bed it had about 15% left. I even adjusted the battery life and app usage to extend the life of the battery but was only lucky to get it to just over two days before having to recharge. The most upsetting thing was one morning I out my watch on and went about my day and went to check my watch and it had 0 steps tracked. The watch just stopped tracking everything and I was unable to scroll down on the watch to the quick settings. I am not facing a similar issue with another product. I am convinced that Samsung short hands their products for them to only work up to two years and then become faulty after that. This is what has happened with the past two products I have bought

Samsung Galaxy watch 2

I've had mine for about 4 years. I've never had a problem with it. I've only had to update the software a few times, and love the updates. No need for a new watch. I've gone threw a few different phones, not galaxy and they all have worked with it, right now I have a Motorola. I only came on here to see if I could find accessories for it to style it up a bit lol

A disappointment
on August 2, 2023
Posted by: Laurin
from Oregon
Expertise:Intermediate
I've had this watch for about 2 months, took it kayaking yesterday and with it being rated for 50 atm of under water pressure I thought it be fine being splashed on and momentarily submerged under a 2 inches or so, but no. Touch screen now goes completely haywire by its own, but is unresponsive to touch
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
