[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only thing I don't like is it keeps locking and won't read it's on my arm sometimes but I believe a new band will fix that. I also wish there was a way to make Google wallet your main tap to pay option without having to open the app first instead of Samsung wallet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the third Galaxy watch I've owned. I chose this model based on it's functionality and price. Besides time, I use it to track weather, messages, mail, health, and exercise. The reason I didn't provide a 5th star is that the watch face I had on my Galaxy watch 6 had weather, fitness, stress, battery. I can't find the face like I used to have. The one in using is very fitness oriented but some of it is duplicitous.. steps is represented the times.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade to the Watch 9 from a Watch 7 to hopefully benefit from the more efficient processor and the same battery size. I would think that this would drastically improve the battery life. However, I'm getting around 1.5 days with the always-on display turned off. I'm hoping that it will improve with battery optimization updates, but right now it seems a bit underwhelming. Everything else works great though. Stable connection, great screen, and I love all the Samsung Health benefits.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a creature of habit. I hate getting new devices, taking the time to learn them. My previous samsung watch lasted forever but I finally got tired of keeping it charged (the actual battery lasted me wayyyy longer than it should have). I'm so glad I chose to upgrade to the newest version. Everything is intuitive. I love that I can now see photos from text messages right on my watch. It helps me prioritize message responding even better. One thing im trying to learn is how to setup the blood pressure tracking. Its a little harder than expected but may be user error. As a health care provider I would not hesitate to recommend this watch to a patient because of the features it has for health maintenence, cardiovascular load and health information is sooo important. As is the coaching to help maximize movement during the day on your high energy days. Its beginner friendly and teaches you so much about yourself. Looking forward to finding even more features as I explore.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the watch 9 after having the watch 4 for years its sleek design and upgraded system makes it feel so much faster and updated than my old one. Did purchase a case for the watch as I am working in a high hazard job. Being able to track my health directly from the watch is amazing 10 out of 10 would recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get the new watch every year. I love having the latest and greatest. I don't know what if do without it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just chose this watch and it is my first wearable and I love it, so many features easy to use and I keep finding new things to do and track
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start with the good. I like the look of the watch and the bands. Coming from the watch 7,I would say that this is an upgrade. I also like the new watch faces. They are quite fun. The health features have improved, offering more insight into my health. The bad. The battery is clearly worse in this years iteration than in previous years. I barely make it a day with the same settings in my watch 7 that got me at least a day and a half. I know it's still early but this is disappointing. I'm also experiencing some sound issues while connected to a call. Overall this is a bit disappointing and I'm awaiting a fix from Samsung. I choose to keep this watch because I already sent my trade in back to Samsung.
