Utilizing full capabilities the battery life is less than 2 days. Unacceptable performance & not worth the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got the new watch so that I could have features like being able to answer my phone and listen to music on my watch. I am disappointed with how big the 40mm is now with the flat display vs the active that had the rounded display. This is geared more for men as opposed women with how big it is. I do like the extra features, but having such a large watch is just not that practical for someone with a small wrist. I would like to see Samsung give a smaller option that still provides upgraded features.
I've had this watch for a number of months and it has performed as expected. I get 2 days of battery life. Once when the battery was running down far too quickly, I did some research and went back to the 2 days I'm used to. I suggest that owners of this watch find and watch that video. Clearing the watch cache is supposed to solve a variety of issues that crop up with Samsung smart watches. Samsung would do well to add an app that automates this maintenance process.
If you're upgrading from a previous Galaxy Watch, you're going to hate the new Wear OS. Changing watch faces is a nightmare now and I won't be buying another Galaxy Watch if I can't use the Galaxy Store. Google doesn't make it easy to switch and customize faces, but you have no choice now thanks to Samsung's decision to use Google's Wear OS operating system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Constantly disconnects from phone (Zflip 3) when watch battery runs down, when updates are installed. Watch very seldom makes an eight hour (8) day. Watch is capable of monitoring sleep, but battery life doesn't allow it.
This watch isn't worth the money. Battery life stinks. It seems like Apple watches are 100% better with way better features, and this is coming from a andriod user.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this about a month ago and should of just went with fitbit instead. I have to charge my watch twice a day and that's without lte and powersaving mode on. For example my watch was fully charged 2 1/2 hours ago and I've done nothing on it and I'm already on 66%. Last night I put it on fully charged and woke up this morning with it on 3 percent. I charge it more than I use it. I'm not happy with it at all and really would like my money back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First time I have had a smart watch and love it! Allows me to do much more than I anticipated. I see lots of complaining about the battery life. I can typically get 2 days out of a charge with no issues.
