I bought this watch today, and when I brought it home and charged it I was not able to pair my phone or tablet to the device due to the fact that I had to download an extension for the galaxy wearable app that is not compatible with my phone or tablet. My phone is old (around 5 years) and not a Samsung, which I get why it wouldn't be able to get the extension, but the tablet is a Samsung galaxy tablet. Due to this fact and some other bad experiences I have had in the past, I will never buy a Samsung product again. I am glad the store I bought the watch from was able to refund my whole amount.

It's a nice watch, good features. Me personally though, I HATE the keyboard. It's also a bummer you can't use fb messenger on it. You can receive and reply but it would be amazing if you could search a name and send a new message. I also just feel like my old Fossil brand was just as nice if not better /: Still a cool watch !
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

SMH! Samsung watches was doing great until this watch. This watch is like buying an Apple Watch (only compatible with the phone). SMH!!! I never thought I would hate an idea like I had the idea of these watches only working with there own brand. First of all they ALL are too expensive not to be compatible with each other. ALL watches should work with whatever phone you purchase. SMH!! Apple I get it they been like this for years, but Samsung I’m more disappointed in because they were not like Apple with making the watches compatible to the phone brand only. So for those who’s reading this I bought the watch 4 and learned the hard. Let’s just say I learned and returned. Good luck Samsung with all the new not so good changes!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this watch with my z fold 3 in Dec. and it is a daily battle to get my watch to notify me through vibration or sound when I have a message or email. It will vibrate once or twice and then stops notifying me again. It will notify me when I use the map on my phone while driving. I have tried everything in the help section in every website. What is this watch good for if it does not notify me about anything. Oh it will show that there was a message and call or email but no notification. This sucks so frustrated. It looks like I am not the only one with this problem many blogs with same issue. Please fix this or will have to get another brand
The watch is good, but this watch burn my skin, is good to work out but I bad to my skin. Thank you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had this watch for a little more than a month now, and I've got only two complaints. First, the sleep monitor is off. Sometimes it says I'm sleeping if I've just been sitting. Even if I'm moving my arms. Fitbit was WAY better at sleep tracking. And second but honestly the biggest problem, the battery life is absolute garbage. It's supposed to last up to 40 hours. I don't know how, unless you literally only use it in watch mode for those hours. I have it connected to my phone for notifications, do not have wifi or NFC on, and have it wake when I move my wrist, but that's it. I literally do nothing else on it and I have to charge it every day. It's a good watch with a lot of features though so if you don't mind popping on the charger every day (I charge mine while I shower) this is a great watch.
I bought this watch last year. 4 days later I took it back to exchange it. It was over heating and the battery was dying. They gave me a new one. This one does not over heat however does not keep a charge. I've done everything recommended to keep battery health. I charged this last night, woke up put it on charge again bc I know better. I went to the gym, n it has died. Mid work out. Died. I get charging every night... but this is crazy. On a good day I get about 16 hours of use. On a bad day... an hour. -_- I'm hoping they updated this issue. Bc it is known! I hope they have fixed the new ones bc this watch has amazing potential.
