Great watch, but one annoyance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this watch. It is a nice upgrade from the 6! It's much faster. It has some devent upgrades like Galaxy AI which def makes what I'm trying to do easier & quicker. I like that it sits more flush to the wrist too which is a massive plus for me. The one thing that I dislike (& almost caused me to send it back) is that your old watch straps are now obsolete. They don't work with this watch as this version has quick release tech for band removal/attachment. I have a nice collection of bands so this is upsetting. I wish they didn't do this, but I understand why they did. Hopefully they go back to the previous strap release soon. I will say, the quick release is extremely convenient...just wish they sold adapters so that we could use our older watch straps. I bought a nice stainless steel one (see photo). Overall, it's a 7/10 for me.
I had the 5 pro for YEARS and finally decided to upgrade. This watch is so nice. Love the slim design, and that fact that it has all the functions my previous watch had.
I love this watch so much! It's just the right size, I love the color way and the things it does now are so much fun. The ONLY con, the battery life. I have pared my screen down to the bare minimum and I still barely get a full day.
I have owned every Samsung Galaxy watch ever since they launched the Galaxy 2. I have upgraded every time they launched a new one. I just now got the Galaxy 8 and am loving it. I love the sleep app on the 8. Definitely a Samsung phone and watch gal for life.
Between helping my wife browse through the Samsung website and picking out the type of watch I wanted. Ordering the watch and receiving it 2 weeks prior to the promised date, the process has been amazing. Love the watch and all the features. It is twice the old Samsung Galaxy that I had. Battery life is longer, the size if perfect and it seems have a sharper screen. The only thing I have added is some protection as I work with my hands and do not want to damage it. Very happy with my choice and my present!
