[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally had the watch series 6 classic with a bezel. I chose to upgrade to the watch 9 due to the increase in brightness, faster processing, and decrease in weight. These mentioned features along with the additional sensors, give me a better insight into my health, especially without a subscription!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I pre booked the Galaxy watch 9. I've worn galaxy watches for a long time and now just very used to them. They integrate seamlessly with the Samsung phones and the health insights are something I rely on frequently. I chose the Watch 9 for the design and features it offers. Being hands free is the best thing when your watch is able to do almost all necessary functions like call, text and even voice commands.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I love most about the Galaxy Watch 9 is the upgrade to the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear Elite processor. It completely revitalizes the user interface. Swiping between screens, pulling up notifications, and opening apps feel snappy and fluid. The outdoor visibility is AMAZING. I am also a massive fan of the new Vitals dashboard and Fitness Index metrics, which is why I chose this particular wearable. Samsung Health has finally figured out how to boil complex, biometric sleep and heart strain data down into simple daily readiness insights, without locking those stats behind an annoying monthly subscription. I am truly impressed with the ease of installing the watch band. At almost 60, it is a huge improvement to what was very frustrating trying to see the tiny holes and what not. The awesome new design gives me business, casual, and sporty vibes all in one. While the performance leaps over older generations, there is a feature missing that makes me miss my Galaxy 6, the physical rotating tactile bezel. I was also hoping the battery life improved. While the 3nm processor architecture is highly efficient, real-world battery life hasn't truly evolved...yet. Either way, I still love it, and will forever be a Galaxy girl.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So much improvement over the 5 pro. Love the comfortable feel and reduced size. New health features are amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this watch so I could better monitor my health. The watch (originally an S7, now an S9) has been fantastic. I get quick, usable feedback, which has helped me improve my health and fitness. Great buy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a long time galaxy watch person and have had many versions. This time I went from the ultra to the watch 9 and happy so far, which is very limited. Setup was so easy and my fold discovered the watch and got it up and going quickly. Much more to discover, but excited for the new wearable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had the watch 7. I was hesitant to upgrade but I'm glad I chose this watch. I have been a Samsung user since 2009. Samsung has yet to disappoint me in their products. The watch is easy to use, has a better battery and more health friendly which I appreciate.
