Great Watch
Rating: 5
The new samsung watch is awesome. A great improvement of the first edition I had which worked great until after 2 1/2 years which didn't stay charged for over 4 hrs. Any how, the new watch works like it should and has the features I like. I would get it again.

Free floors
Rating: 3
The first couple of months this watch was great, but for some reason after a software update the floors climbed started going up (even when the watch is in the cradle charging).. I would get 2-300 floors in a day without actually going up a single flight of stairs.. apparently this is an ongoing problem since it still to this day (2 years later) has not been fixed.. (you can even see in the image I added.. 39 floors today.. haven't gone up a single flight of stairs)

Great watch, but...
Rating: 3
i like the watch, but it really gripes me when they do updates that wipe out all my settings! especially when i have to re-validate samsung pay accounts. plus i can't find the watch faces that i previously purchased! i'm not going to make the mistake of purchasing any more of the watch faces. and i spent over three hours today trying to get everything set up again.

great smartwatch, not so great fitness watch
Rating: 2
I so wanted to love this watch. The display is amazing, the apps work seemlessly, and email and notifications come right through and easy to read. Even taking a call is easy and others say they can't tell I am talking on a watch. Well, that is where the accolades end. Those are the reasons I gave it 2 stars because it was perfect in all those areas, just don't buy it for a fitness watch. Step counting is horrible. I get up and walk the copier and back = 0 steps. I am averaging about 3000 steps less than fitbit or garmin PER DAY. Also, when I take my runs or walks about 50% of the time the heart rate stops recording all together. Yes I know how to wear the watch as I have owned several garmins and suunto watches in the past. Looking online this is a common problem. Really thought this was going to be my go to watch. Photo enclosed showing how the heart rate just stops in workouts. Had problems with both the samsung app and trying to use map my run. Both had the same issues. I'll be taking mine back!
