Love it!!!

I got this as an early birthday gift. I absolutely love it! The band is awesome too! I also love that you can upload your photos for the watch face! It's not bulky and I just love the technology of it. Love...Love...Love it!!!

Love my new watch
Rating: 5
The customizable screens are great. Everything is at my finger tips. I bought is for the health features. Helps with keeping track of irregular or fast heart beats. Works with my food tracker and other health apps. The size is great and still fits my old Series 2 bands.

Love it!
Rating: 5
One option I like, is when I get a phone call, I hear it ring from my wrist and I don't have to run for the phone or dig it out of my purse plus my I watch has many fitness options to encourage and track movements during the day.

Great watch at a good price.
Rating: 5
This was on sale for $50 off and I was glad to get it at that price. I upgraded from the first version of the Apple Watch and what an improvement in battery life and features (i.e waterproof and larger display).

Many features compared to series 1 that I replaced. Slim, lightweight and nice band. Battery life is very good.

Everything Works
Rating: 5
Works right out of the box as it should. I love the band too. It doesn't snag on anything. Battery keeps its charge about three days. I have yet to test it's waterproof abilities while swimming.

Exactly what I needed
Rating: 5
My doctor recommended I get something that would notify family if I were to fall. I also like that I call emergency services. I hope I never need to use those functions but since I am a double amputee, I know that I am at risk. This Iwatch4 has been great for me so far I highly recommend it

Put off buying until series 4. Really awesome. Wish I'd gotten one earlier. fast delivery.

Great watch but broken screen in less than 1 week
Rating: 4
Absolutely love the size, fit, and features of this watch. Unfortunately after wearing it less then 4 days; with a screen protector, the screen is already shattered at the lower edge after lightly (i am not exaggerating) brushing it against my sink cabinet frame. I've had to pay the cost of the device to send it in for repair. ***i highly recommend buying Apple care and when mine is returned from Apple I will purchase it before wearing. Wish I'd have been prompted to buy it initially during purchase or watch set u.

Heart monitoring and fall detection need work
Rating: 4
Works very well with the exception of the heart monitoring and fall detection. Heart monitoring is normally fine but there are frequent readings that are aberrations, both high and low, that mess up analytics. Fall detection can be triggered by clapping hands and then resting hands at side for about 20 seconds. During workouts, it is difficult to mark a segment by double tapping on the watch face. Sometimes it works, other times it make take multiple attempts to mark the segment delaying the reading.

Exactly what i was waiting for
Rating: 5
i owned galaxy watch and i loved it except it was little too heavy. also, i do not like fitness type watches, so i was literally waiting for watch3. super light, works well with bixby, samsung pay, and a lot of customization you can do. i always wear watch to track my sleep, and it didnt bother me at all. at last, watch trade-in was really good promotion!

Familiar but lighter
Rating: 5
i'm happy with this. it's the best upgrade from my gear s3 frontier. feels the same but lighter in weight. only drawback is the strap cause it felt a bit cheap. i got myself a silicone strap for it later on.

Perfect
Rating: 5
i got this as a replacement for the 41mm size, which was too small. the bezel on the 45mm actually seems shorter than in the 41mm! it's easy to use (both the bezel and the touch screen). the battery life is superb. the screen is beautiful. and since i had a trade in (active 2 - no bezel - good riddance), the price was great, too.

Gr8 watch, superb gizmo,fitness kit not 4 every1
Rating: 5
this is as beautiful and functional watch, phone, info pod, music player, gadget, companion and alarm as you could want, worth every cent. the learning curve is minimal if you can find your way around a smartphone. but the fitness stuff, which is touted as the centerpiece of this timepiece's acumen is just for gym rats or runners and such. i garden, walk dogs, putter around the house, dance now and then and the watch's workout detection for my everyday regimen is quite confused and almost useless. for everything else it does, and there's a lot of it and the sheer snazz of it, i love it. i'd give it a 4.7 but you can only rate in whole numbers.

Great integration with smartphone
Rating: 5
this watch seamlessly integrates with my s20 ultra and i love how i can receive notifications from all my apps on the watch. i get about 2 days worth of battery life with normal use and the always-on display turned off. best surprise so far is being able to connect to my ultra's camera and see it on my watch face and take pictures!

Great watch - so so battery life.
Rating: 4
Upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 3 from the original Galaxy Watch. Love the larger screen. Love that it's slightly slimmer. Love the new sensors, including Blood Pressure Monitoring (Not officially activated in the US yet, but there are workarounds available). Only complaint is that I'm not thrilled with the battery life. Still easily get a full days worth of use even with sleep tracking, but nowhere near the life compared to the Original Galaxy Watch which could push 3 days.

Best looking watch on the market.
Rating: 3
the design is flawless and the rotating bezel is infinitely better then the touch one on the active 2. i am used to the subpar battery life when compared to let's say a versa 2, so i don't really fault it much because the tech and os is muchhhh better then fitbit. i can't excuse away the slow charging however. it is brutally slow and for this amount of money it is inexcusable.

Just Ok
Rating: 3
i regret upgrading from the galaxy watch as there is nothing worth the expense for this watch. the extra stuff they mentioned like the workout, sleep, etc., not that great. the other watch i had was better in doing my every hour stretch reminder this one is weird, it's a hit or miss. the few things i love about this watch are the lightness and also the look on the screen. bigger and aesthetically more pleasing. battery is fine as well, get two days or so. i don't think it is worth it and when i trade in i realized i should have kept my watch.

Original still better. Not worth hefty price tag. Key features not enabled. Walmart customer service is the worst!!!

Disappointing new design and Wear App
Rating: 1
the protruding watch buttons on the right side is poor design if you want to wear the watch for road biking and during circuit training with weights and especially push-up. my s3 is much better with recessed buttons. i am returning it until they learn to get feedback from actual athletic customers. also, what's wrong with their app design, why does it have to combine the watch and phone steps? i want to be able to just use the phone or watch, not the cumulative, which could be double sometimes or 70% to 30% and the 30% is probably already in the 70% of the number shown. makes no sense at all, separate them out. don't buy this if you are going to use if for active life, go with fitbit or some other device
