So far...really happy with it!

So far - I am really liking this watch after 4 days in. It's certainly not perfect but I am not sure what device is these days. To me so many of the reviews are based on personal opinions and preferences...so I will give you mine.
First let me say I am new to smartwatches - I have owned several activity trackers and tried the Pebble Time - but did not like it at all.
Samsung got many things right for me with this watch. First, it;'s actually something I like wearing - size is perfect, its really comfortable to wear and I think it looks good. I have no experience with Android Wear - and I really wanted to find an Android Wear watch but there is nothing out there that I like at all. I am very active - so I wanted something I could run, hike etc. with. So hear are my initial impressions.
Great size, very comfortable, looks good
UI is great - very intuitive to navigate - bezel does work really well, screen is crisp and looks good.
Love the way the notifications work and easily being able to respond to them. I like the way the calendar is set up as well.
I have used it for two runs and a hike so far - through the S Health app,, worked well. Two negatives here - heart rate monitor while running has been giving me inaccurate readings - it also drains the battery - so I turned it off for now - resting HR is spot on.
I love the way it interacts with my Galaxy S6 - very intuitive - I really think Samsung put a lot of thought in to this - by not trying to replace the phone but more of a companion and extension of your phone.
At first I was disappointed that there was not a speaker on the watch - but it does not bother me now because all the other functions work so well with my S6 - and honestly, I don't see myself carrying a conversation talking into my wrist.
The lack of more good apps. is somewhat annoying right now - but I am optimistic that will change soon.
I was unsure in general if I would find a smartwatch practical and useful or just another expensive gadget that you don't use after awhile.
I can tell you after only 4 days - I'm getting used to it and starting to see the benefits of a smartwatch - and I think this particular watch has something to do with that.

I would recommend this to a friend!
