For what the watch does out of the box after linking it to my phone, I'd say this is a beautiful device. It is just a bit difficult learning how to apply new apps.
I like everyting but battery life is not long enough, does go more than one and half day

So far I am really enjoying the features. Learning something new daily. Sleep features are the biggest help. Large readable screen. Minus 1 star because battery life.
I went from a galaxy 5 to 8. I have loved all my Galaxy watches and really appreciate the advancements with each new version. I look forward to learning about all the new functionality that comes with the new 8
