Just a great watch. I love how for 40 bux you can change the face to your tast for the day all year. If you spend this much money, at least get Facer or in my opinion you’ve wasted your money, cause the faces is where it’s at for me. I was certain I didn’t need the lte but would have gotten it for sure if I knew than what I know now. I have no regrets just would have gotten it. I love the black, but sort of wish I would have gone with silver cause of the bands you can buy. It’s a very good feeling watch nice and heavy.Change the band immediately unless you like to live in discomfort and protect the bezel not the screen. Trust me and if you insist on screen protector the inner are you will put it on is like bevel or cone shaped so if the glass isn’t you’ll regret it 🤭 add tons of music and pictures easy to use and change. Turn your notifications sound to vibrate and minimal sounds or when it gets to updates you’ll be a very noisy fellow. And turn your screen to AOD and only push button to wake. Battery is good but not for the first month when it’s figuring out your usage patterns I wish you can adjust the speed with your bezel turn you have to turn it like one whole rotation to scroll like 3/4″ of page and also the direction. For some reason I’d rather turn it the other direction. Watch is a 5/5 still but dont expect it to be miraculous. It’s just a watch with smart features and incredible if you are into fitness which I’m not. Love how it works when I jump on my bike and when I’m off it’s very accurate with steps and bike riding.Spend the money and buy something you will use everyday. We’ll worth it for the price. Get it used if you can or you’ll spend like 40 bux for the price of Tape you’ll cut anyway🫣

First off, the label next to my name says I’m a VINE VOICE reviewer. That is correct, however, please note that I paid for this watch myself with my own funds and the following are my unbiased and independent comments.I bought this watch brand new about 7 weeks ago. It is the standard 44mm Bluetooth Watch (not Classic, not LTE). This watch takes the best from Samsung (SS) and Google. The features are excellent but please realize that to use them to their full potential, you must use a SS Android Phone that is compatible with the watch. My phone is a SS Galaxy S10+ phone.My experience over the past years with smart watches includes four $300-$400 watches from competitors and none have superseded or matched the performance of this device (excluding battery duration without needing a charge). In addition, I owned the SS Galaxy Watch 5. The Galaxy Watch 6 counters seem accurate when checked with other devices that are calibrated and they are easy to use. For example, I do a lot of walking both indoors and out. The outdoor distance counter and GPS has been right on. When I walk indoors, it’s on a measured track that is exactly one mile. The distance counter on the watch is generally within a couple of percent of the track, which, in my experience, is far superior to those other competitors. With cycling, I’ve found the Galaxy Watch 6 to be great in measuring distances, speeds, heart rate, etc. The SS Health App teams well with the Watch 6.The UI is very similar to, if not identical to the others in the latest SS Galaxy watch family. The apps that are available for this watch are many and I’d guess are all interchangeable.Why did I upgrade from my Galaxy Watch 5? It was primarily due to the Watch 6’s upgrade to the hardware, but to me, it was important to have the technology that will seamlessly connect the watch to a new SS phone when the time comes to upgrade the phone. I understand this feature is available on the Galaxy Watch 6. Earlier versions require you to re-profile the watch settings when you change to a new phone.Did I have any issues with the watch? To begin, as others have noted, battery life could be better, but I am getting 2+ days on a full charge. I’m good with this, even though it is not as good as other brands. As far as recharging the watch, when I first received the watch, it took 2 to 3 hours to recharge, I felt this was excessive. There is the “Samsung Members” app to trouble shoot the device, and in addition, SS can “remote” into the watch through the phone to troubleshoot further. Don’t want to be repetitive, but you need a SS phone for SS Tech Support to do this. After some over the phone troubleshooting with SS and sending the watch back to them under warranty, they found that the charging cable was faulty and was the cause of the long recharge time. SS replaced the cable under warranty (after a 4 week long backorder delay), and now it takes an hour to recharge the watch from 20% to 100%. This is the expected time to recharge the watch. Kudos to SS Service, they were generally responsive in troubleshooting this issue and correcting it.I’m satisfied with this watch, it’s appearance, and all it can do and can recommend it if you are in the market for a new smart watch.

This watch has many great functions..I don’t need my phone to view and respond to messages. My work pants don’t allow my phone to be with me, so I’m able to see important messages when needed.It’s already found my phone multiple times.It has health features but I have yet to set that up.I can change the song that’s playing in my ear buds without my phone from the watch.The only con so far is the battery only lasts a day.. Though it only takes an hour to charge. It’s not a huge deal to charge it with my phone at night.I wanted a watch more for notifications, control for my music, and google reminders.I’ve had a fit bit & if you want more of the health features, sleep tracking etc .. the fit bit is more set up for that. This watch can do that but also has its own service for messages, calls, and things like that.

I love the size of the screen. And I love how versatile the watch faces are. I get to choose what I want to see on the default face, which you don’t get AT ALL with other watches I’ve tried. You’re stuck with whatever the companies choose for you on fitbit and cheap knockoffs. I like being able to quickly turn on a timer, for instance, and I haven’t found another watch that let’s me put that on the face. I haven’t tried Garmin or any of those other high end brands, but I’m satisfied enough with the Samsung being able to do this and everything else I want that I don’t need to go that expensive.I also don’t use this watch like a lot of others do. I’ve turned off nearly every feature I can, cause I can turn them on when I need them again, so the battery lasts me about 5 days, which is excellent. My old Samsungs have only lasted 3 days at best, also with turning off things. It’s nice not to feel like I need to charge it constantly. So, definitely an improvement over older models, and my main reason for going above my budget getting this one.I’m not a super active person, medical issues, but I do try to hit steps. I love taking walks, so I turn on GPS at that time.If you’re a casual user like me, this is definitely a great option. Some might think it’s too large of a screen, but I appreciate seeing things at a glance without squinting (I’m 34). I get my notifications without issue, and I can read them well. And 5 days on a charge vs. 3 or less has literally cut down on my frustration and anxiety levels.

I wanted a watch that had the option of working independently from my samsung galaxy phone.Most features will do that, EXCEPT for making and receiving a live callmore than 30ft from phone.The Bluetooth does everything except the ability to add a wireless extension to your phone (same needed for iphone watch). Many reviews stated since they either had their phone with them or in a situation (working out, golf, etc) that they wouldn’t take a call they were 100% happy without the LTE capability.The phone itself has great features, and paired effortlessly with my Galaxy phoneBattery life has been fine. I could charge every other day, but usually charge in AM while showering .If you want Google assistant you will have to add it.Also the phones email is Gmail.All and all a definite reccomend.
