i purchased this watch because i used to love samsung products. i have a few medical conditions and i need to monitor my exercises, heart rate, and blood oxygen level, something i was told by samsung this watch could do. it's been marvelous for heartrate and exercise, best smartwatch i've ever owned, but when samsung removed the spo2 sensors from their phones i had to depend on the watch. but i have never been able to get the watch to read blood oxygen level. i've called support and they were stumped too. now i can't even enter my blood oxygen level into samsung health because samsung health requires that info from the watch.

i really like the looks of the watch.
samsung apps are like google and apple's hillbilly cousin. i so wish it wasn't. i so want to use an alternate product. i have a note 8 to pair with the watch.
if you are going to make your own os "tizen" go big or go home.
hate "bixby", this app detracts and frustrates users.
"samsung pay" doesn't always work.
"spotify" doesn't always work.
"find my phone" is being deleted.
no gps navigating app.
your web site says "your watch, your choice", but it really is not. you should give users the option to use google apps

i purchased this watch in march and have loved the convenience of not having to always have my cellphone with me. i enjoy walking/running and sometimes the bulky phones are no fun to carry. that being said, i just recently received an update and now i keep getting reminders about music tracks. i have deleted them, rebooted my watch and still to no avail, they keep popping up. can anyone provide help with this?

Do not buy, will overheat and crack

i purchased this watch in april. recently it overheated while charging and the heart rate sensor cracked. it was the tiniest of hairline cracks which was difficult to see. water then made its way into the watch which damaged the sensor. the overheating and cracking is a known fault by samsung. they just quoted me $350 for a repair which is greater than the cost of a new watch with no option to negotiate the price of the fix. i own an s10 and galaxy buds. i expect quality. this broke and it was samsung's fault. the watch performed adequately as a fitness tool until this event, i liked it, people complimented me on it. after the terrible service, do not buy this watch.

this is my second galaxy watch. the first died just after the warranty period. of course. i debated for months then decided to try again and bought another one. this one started out fine but now disconnects from my phone constanstly and requires a restart in order to connect again. samsung's customer service is worthless on this. won't be getting another one

I loved the watch for the first few months. Now, all of a sudden, my watch doesn't last longer than 6 hours, in addition to taking in excess of 14 hours to fully charge.
To bad I'm still paying on it. I'll be taking it to the store tomorrow.

With Sprint can not be used without being connected to Bluetooth with your phone even though they charged me for a separate watch plan. After 9 months my watch screen stopped working. I was told it was under warranty and was told that the warranty was void because my watch had water damage. I never wore my watch in water or got it wet. So much for the watch being water proof. Now I have a paper weight because Samsung wants to charge $350 to fix my screen. I have been a loyal Samsung user for 10+ years but my next smartphone and smartwatch will be Apple.

Major dissapointment

I received the watch as a gift and fortunately it was purchased with extra warranty so I was able to return it and obtain a full refund. First of all, several apps indicated that an update was available and required. Upon attempting to perform the update, the update continuously failed. It just stalled and never completed. These were apps included with the watch that I could not remove. Reports online indicated people went to Samsung about it and Samsung told them to go to the app developer who sent them back to Samsung. Sorry Samsung, but if you include the app with the watch as a non-removeable piece of software, it's your responsibility to ensure it works.
What finally made me get rid of this watch was the fact it wouldn't charge properly. When set on the cradle and the watch would reach full charge, it would display an animated star indicating a 100% charge accompanied by a chime. The red charging indicator light on the cradle would then turn green also indicating a charged state. At this point it should maintain a full charge until removed from the cradle. Unfortunately after several seconds, the charge indicator light would once again turn red to indicate the watch was charging. After about 30 seconds it would once again indicate a full charge along with the animated star and chime. This cycle would repeat continuously. Try tolerating that on the night stand while trying to sleep.
I tried resetting the watch to factory settings but this did not help. All this did was make me have to go and repurchase all the apps and watch faces I bought for the watch which were now gone.
The watch is a fail. Typical of the technology industry releasing products prematurely. I can't give this watch a good score on anything. Don't buy it. If you really must buy it then make sure you buy all the warranty you can so when it dissapoints you, you can at least return it and get your money back. Good luck.

I got the watch in Sept. 2019 its now Jan 2020. First off just outside the 30 day window to be able to return it to sprint the gasket to keep it water proof tore (Samsung paid for shipping and fixed for free good part) at the end of December the watch no longer keeps track of my steps, nor will of measure heart rate or stress level anymore. The battery used to last for an average of 4 days sometimes little more and little less depending on time spent playing games and such. But now I'm lucky to get it to last from 5am to 10 pm. So fed up with it and really wish I could get rid of it! And the fact I got the 4G watch I can still only use it as a "Bluetooth watch"

I've historically used LG android watches (many years). My last LG was the Urbane 2. That watch failed to hold a charge so gave the Galaxy Watch a look. I have a Galaxy S9 phone so it made sense to go with a Samsung watch this time. I'm so glad I did. The integration between Samsung devices is very well done. I'm still getting used to the differences between the interfaces but it seems like this won't be a problem. I appreciate the battery life of the Galaxy Watch. The LTE works well. I can easily make a call from my watch. Time will tell but things are definitely on a positive note!

I have owned this watch since it came out and wow do I need to let the world know. While the watch is great with non-Bluetooth/Bluetooth calls, many of the features the watch provides really aren't worth it. The main features I used were for checking my heart rate which was subpar compared to my galaxy phone, making calls and receiving texts while not connected to Bluetooth! I used the watch for everything I did until the back sensor of the watch unglued. For a watch that is supposed to be water resistant and able to swim with, I wouldn't trust it. Now to fix the watch Samsung charges more than half of the cost of the watch for a job that I'm sure just needs some re-gluing. I was looking forward for a watch that would at least last 4 yrs but please reconsider getting this watch if you're looking for quality.

No Notification Alerts

The watch does not notify you for text messages, calendar appointments, etc (no vibration or sound) if your phone is on silent. I spoke with multiple Samsung techs who told me there is no functionality for this, it only works if the phone is set to vibrate. I work in an office environment and keep my phone on the desk on silent so it isnt disturbing by vibrating all day long. I thought having a discrete, near silent vibrate on the wrist would circumvent that. It blows my mind that this isnt an option... if you set your phone to vibrate, why would you need your watch to vibrate as well? I would think the only time you would want the watch to vibrate would be when your phone is on silent. Ready for the crazy part? It does vibrate when the phone is in silent mode if you receive phone calls! It just makes no sense... The watch looks great and has a lot of features and I was really excited to get it, but the lack of common sense in the notification settings is a real dissapointment. I will be returning it tomorrow.

I have been wanting to own one wearable watch but i was sceptical bec of the radiation from a cell phone this is the reason why i always forget my cellphone behind and been missing a lot of important calls bec i don't want it near me all the time in fact when i ans or make a call it was always on a speaker bec i could feel the heat on my ear and its like frying my brain, but this 3rd gen LTE i guess is much better less radiation than the current 4G,. and also as a senior i got a discount monthly fee from myTmobile but the downside they are charging me extra $15/mo for using this watch. anyway its worth it and i highly
recommend it. 5 stars

UNLIMITED POTENTIAL. Bixby 1.2.27 is horrible.

I do love the watch I'm very happy with it. With that said, Every YouTube/Blog reviewer says the same thing... "Bixby" (S Voice) Version 1.2.27 on SM-R805U really is terrible and it absolutely doesn't hold up against Siri, Alexa, or Google assistant. It definitely brings down the quality and value of the watch. It's treated as a Joke
Samsung.... step up your game.
Hopefully some ground breaking updates will be here soon because the watch is amazing aside from Bixby.
definitely has unlimited potential.... Nothing some software updates can't fix.

I recently had to upgrade my Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch and decided to get the new 4G LTE Galaxy Watch. Overall impression is that this watch is a very nice upgrade, until I went to the store and tried to use my watch to pay for an item. Samsung took a huge step backwards and removed the MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) feature from this watch. That one my number favorite feature about the Gear S3 watch.
If using Google Pay from your watch is not that big of a deal, this is the smartwatch for you. I, however, am really disappointed as this feature is what separated them from all other smartwatches.

I have had my watch for over a month and I am really enjoying feeling like I don't have to have my phone on me to receive text and phone calls. It has many cool features such as water resistant. We have been to the beach a few times and haven't had any issues with it being in the water. Also it keeps up with my heart rate, steps and even stress level. Cons, my text don't always come through and to use all the cool features drains the battery and it will only last about 1 day.#GalaxywatchInsiders #Galaxywatch

It's been three months now and i am still finding new thing in this watch. Being a former I.T i though i would not be impress by tech anymore, but this watch surprise me everyday. Battery last 48 hours for me it's like the watch know i need it. And let me not start with the fact that i no longer need my phone in my pocket to call anymore. Thank you Samsung you did a great job with this one.

This watch is simply beautiful, I was amazed by the beautiful screen display. Wearing it and putting it on also felt different. I wish it wasn't so bulky but then again it does stand out and is noticed by other people. The watch was able to sync up with my note 9 with no issues and battery life was actually really good compared to other smart watches I have used in the past. The heart rate monitor is by far my favorite and I use it constantly when i am running or working out. Overall, this is a wonderful watch, I can't wait to see what Samsung has in store for the next model!

Watch the compliments roll in
ChristopherGower
7/22/2019
A circular watch face shouldn't be a remarkable feature, however, when it comes to smartwatches, it really is. The current market leader features a square face, so it's perhaps unsurprising that people regularly compliment the look of the watch, keen to find out what it is and whether or not it was available for their device.
So, with that out of the way, how does the watch work? Well, the operating system is a little hit and miss in terms of the apps it works with. I was able to download an extension to Google Maps that pops up directions on my watch whenever I have the app running. That said, there are other apps that are simply missing watch counterparts, which can be a little frustrating.
In terms of battery, I'm really impressed. During a work trip to Vegas for 5 days, I had to charge my watch once, on the penultimate day. If I'd used battery saving and switched it off every night, I'd be confident it would have lasted without me needing to take the charger with me.
Build quality is fantastic, with the rotating bezel a genius touch that really gives a premium experience to the user. I tried the smaller watch first and that was far too small/petite for me, as a 6ft / ~190lb man, the 46mm is a great fit, but the 42mm seemed aimed at women, which is a smart move to offer the option.
Fitness wise, the watch has a myriad of options and tracking points. GPS built in means the watch is great for runs, bike rides, hikes or even just exploring your local city - and the altitude tracking is, in particular, perfect for climbing or hiking.
I also appreciate the sleep tracking. Referring back to my trip to Vegas, the watch frequently informed me of the abject lack of sleep I was enjoying - which I found valuable if only to remind myself exactly why I felt so short of energy the following day. There are also additional options to improve your state of health, such as a stress test, which encourages and tracks your breathing, and frequent reminders when you have been inactive for too long.
Ultimately, the Galaxy Watch LTE 46mm knocks it out of the park when it comes to my expectations being met, and is a fantastic accompaniment to Samsung's current line of phones. It looks great, the battery is fantastic and adds another dimension to your life, including keeping health top of mind and making communicating with colleagues, friends and family a little more efficient.

Best Smart Watch Yet

I have had the Galaxy Watch LTE 46mm for a little over a month now activated with my cell service provider and i can say from the first day it is leaps and bounds ahead of the my old Samsung Gear S3 LTE. The battery life is remarkable, i can get 3 days out of a full charge with moderate use compared to the 20 or so hours i got with the Gear S3. The Galaxy Watch LTE 46mm is also water proof which is a huge plus. The call quality is also very impressive considering it is a speaker phone. With the latest Tizen update the samsung health apps are also greatly improved. Overall i am extremely impressed with the Galaxy Watch LTE 46mm and have recommended to numerous, friends, family members and colleagues.

The Samsung Galaxy smartwatch is very comfortable, and I love the form factor compared to another smart watch I've used that is only available in a rectangular shape. The weight of the watch is light, but does have enough to feel like a watch and a great build quality. In reality, the LTE does allow you to leave the smartphone behind, but I rarely do. Where the SmartWatch shines is the fitness tracking being much more consistent and the ability to more discreetly determine if a call, text or email needs your attention versus taking out your phone. The sleep detection is very cool. The large battery of the 46 mm version makes wearing the watch all night feasible and then some. It does take a little longer than a shower to fully recharge, but that's ok because you don't need to get to 100% to make it through the day. Although it should be fine, I've never showered or swam with it. Only negative I've see so far is that the watch will prompt you for movement, and sometimes does not recognize the exercise it recommends. But any real workout, walk, stairs, steps, sleep, heart rate, etc is seemly tracked without thought or use intervention.

A Weareverywhere Watch

After moving to everything Samsung--phone, ear buds, tablet, etc--I thought it was time to try their watch. I am someone who wears a different watch for various occasions, be it for the gym, for work, for social occasions. The Samsung watch is a one stop watch. I like that it is stylish enough that it dresses up well ( with a quick change of the clock face. It has all the features I need for my gym workouts ( I am still learning new things it can do to provide feedback on workouts and physical health). Finally, I can kick around in it. I have the LTE model, so it can connect to my phone via bluetooth or its own line.
The hold on the battery charge is consistent with what Samsung says you can expect. I usually take mine off at night during the week, but I sleep with it during the weekend to track my sleep. I use the clock face that shows the time, steps, date, heart rate AND WEATHER at a glance. No tapping through screens to see all of this information together. I love it!
I will be updating my band soon or at least buying multiple bands to switch out for different occasions.

My initial thoughts about this watch were a bit mixed...people had good and bad things to say about it. When I finally had it in my own hands, I was very impressed. The quality of the watch was great. It felt like a real men's watch. The display was also on point. There were times where I forgot that it was a smart watch. The competitors have nothing against this display. The part where this watch is lacking is the app functionality. There could be a greater selection for faces and utilities...that's my only dispute about this watch. Everything else was spot on! The LTE was worth it and should be a must!
I can't wait to see what the future brings!

There was a long delay getting this activated with my carrier, almost 2 weeks, but it was worth every minute!
The Samsung Watch has evolved to nearly perfect performance!
Having owned every LTE version of this product since the 2015 "Galaxy Gear", this device is a huge jump in technology. I can go 3 days without having a "low battery" warning. I accept 2 to 3 calls a day from the watch, while the phone is miles away! It functions perfectly as a "connected device".
In case you don't know, the LTE version of this device gets its own phone number, but receives calls/texts that go to my phone, and makes calls the same way, while my phone is miles away. The phone number in the watch is masked. Its a technology that has been around 3 years now, and nearly perfected with this device.
The body sensor is much more accurate than the Gear S3 I owned prior. I wore BOTH watches for 2 days and decided there was no reason to go back to the S3 Frontier. Some of the data is more detailed than previous watches, and both are running the same software.
Alerts and notifications are instant and flawless. I set up what I want and don't want in the "Galaxy Wearable" app on my phone. GPS is much faster and accurate than previous watches. The rotating bezel has a smoother performance, no jumping or sticking. Response time to 'touch' are as they should be. I am sure this is due to the larger RAM/Memory in the device.
I have not installed any third-party apps on the watch. I can't think of anything else I would need. As a hiker living in the country, I am pleased with the reception and performance. I leave my phone home when I go out to exercise or hike and have been caught in the rain twice. No damage to the watch!
My new Galaxy Watch LTE charges perfectly on Samsung's dual charging station; no fiddling around with positioning. I usually wear it to bed, so I can track my sleep. I like the more detailed data over the S3 Frontier. By the time I am showered and dressed for work, it is back to 100% full for the day! Much faster charging, with the same charging station.
Overall, I am quite pleased, and recommend this to everyone!

This is a major step up from my previous fitness watch! I absolutely love the quality and accuracy of this watch and it doesn't hurt that it looks great. The watch overall is excellent, I've isolated some of the best features below:
The interface with my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. It is seamless
The speakerphone quality when talking through the phone. It is way better than other forms of "hands free" devices
Email, texting and apps work really well
Talk to text is great
Sleep tracking is easy to understand and down to the minute in terms of accuracy
It does not take long to charge
The overall battery life is very strong (3 days)
It is very accurate when measuring my workout and versatile with the types of exercises
There is only one feature that I would like to see improved. That is the stair counting. When I walk flights of stairs it often does not register. This could be more around the way I move, but the steps are very accurate.
Overall I would definitely recommend the Samsung Galaxy Watch. And, if you own a Samsung phone, I've learned through the interface that having a Galaxy Watch is a must!!

I absolutely love this watch and use it as my everyday wear. Samsung has created an excellent all round smartwatch. The appearance of this watch is high end and because it takes a regular 22mm band, there are options to upgrade the watch band. I currently have a black leather band attached and have worn the watch to many formal events. I have received many positive complements from people who can't believe it a smart watch. I also own the Samsung Gear S2 and Gear S3. This watch has taken the best and improved it. Sleek design and a battery that will last for well over a day. The lte cellular is excellent as well in this watch. I have it paired to my Samsung Note 8 and it works flawlessly. No longer do I need to carry my phone while at the gym or running.

I have 3 Samsung watches. The Samsung wearables keep getting better and better. The Samsung Gear S, the Samsung S2 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch (46mm). It has been a pleasure to own these Samsung smart watches over the years. I thought the rotary dial function could not get any better... Then it did. The Samsung Galaxy Watch has an improved operating system (Tizen 4.0 ) and a smooth rotary dial interface. I have always preferred function over form. However, I did not have to sacrifice one for the other with the Samsung Galaxy Watch with 4G LTE, WIFI, and Bluetooth capabilities. This wearable is packed with sensors to help you see and interact with the world in new ways - accelerometer, barometer, gyro sensor, heart rate sensor, and light sensor. This watch was created to be functional, rugged, and stylish. The Samsung Galaxy watch is swim-ready (water resistant) and the Corning Gorilla Glass prevents the display from getting scratched. I can make calls. I can read and view text and multimedia messages from the watch face. With apps like Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Spotify, and the integral cellular phone/mobile data, you can put your cell phone away and never experience FOMO again. If you like to switch things up and keep you style fresh, there is a watch face for any occasion or mood. Hey... If you want more watch faces, there are many to choose from in the Samsung App Store. Let's not forget the modes: Water lock mode is available for you to take your Galaxy Watch for a swim. Good Night Mode allows you to mute the madness and limit your notifications. Theatre Mode puts your watch on do not disturb so you can immerse yourself in the movie without distractions. Power saving mode increase your watches battery life. The battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Watch is amazing. This watch goes the distance and then some. In my tests I have run the watch for two days before I need to recharge it. From the paintball field to the mud run obstacle course, this Samsung watch is strong to the finish. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have upgraded several times through the series of the Samsung watches and am once again pleased with this Samsung watch. The battery life is amazing and has lasted me days at a time. I love that I can take my watch on runs and not need the bulk of my phone, being able to have access to calls, texts, and my music all from the convenience of the watch. I also appreciate the ability to set "help" notifications if something were to happen. The watch has a nice look and is not too bulky. It is nice being able to change the faces to fit my mood or by what is going on throughout my day. Whether I want a sporty look or a look that is geared towards my work day. Being able to track my steps and my heart rate all throughout the day is another great feature. I will continue to upgrade through this great watch.

It has been a pleasure to own these Samsung smart watches over the years. I thought the rotary dial function could not get any better... Then it did. The Samsung Galaxy Watch has an improved operating system (Tizen 4.0 ) and a smooth rotary dial interface.
I have always preferred function over form. However, I did not have to sacrifice one for the other with the Samsung Galaxy Watch with 4G LTE, WIFI, and Bluetooth capabilities. This wearable is packed with sensors to help you see and interact with the world in new ways - accelerometer, barometer, gyro sensor, heart rate sensor, and light sensor.
This watch was created to be functional, rugged, and stylish. The Samsung Galaxy watch is swim-ready (water resistant) and the Corning Gorilla Glass prevents the display from getting scratched. I can make calls. I can read and view text and multimedia messages from the watch face.
With apps like Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Spotify, and the integral cellular phone/mobile data, you can put your cell phone away and never experience FOMO again.
If you like to switch things up and keep you style fresh, there is a watch face for any occasion or mood. Hey... If you want more watch faces, there are many to choose from in the Samsung App Store.
Let's not forget the modes:
Water lock mode is available for you to take your Galaxy Watch for a swim.
Good Night Mode allows you to mute the madness and limit your notifications.
Theatre Mode puts your watch on do not disturb so you can immerse yourself in the movie without distractions.
Power saving mode increase your watches battery life.
The battery life on the Samsung Galaxy Watch is amazing.
This watch goes the distance and then some. In my tests I have run the watch for two days before I need to recharge it. From the paintball field to the mud run obstacle course, this Samsung watch is strong to the finish.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is my second Galaxy Watch; and they keep getting better and better. The battery lasts for 3 days. and the LTE portion is great. It is nice being able to text and answer the phone after leaving my Galaxy S8 at home. I love the new watch faces. The health portions are great also. Love being able to track my heart rate and steps accurately. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

What a Watch!

I have upgraded several times through the series of the Samsung watches and am once again pleased with this Samsung watch. The battery life is amazing and has lasted me days at a time. I love that I can take my watch on runs and not need the bulk of my phone, being able to have access to calls, texts, and my music all from the convenience of the watch. I also appreciate the ability to set "help" notifications if something were to happen. The watch has a nice look and is not too bulky. It is nice being able to change the faces to fit my mood or by what is going on throughout my day. Whether I want a sporty look or a look that is geared towards my work day. Being able to track my steps and my heart rate all throughout the day is another great feature. I will continue to upgrade through this great watch.

Why are the manufacturers so reluctant to offer what the market really wants? We want a TRUE STAND ALONE device. You CANNOT CALL THIS STAND ALONE - when a SAMSUNG OR APPLE PHONE IS REQUIRED?!!

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch and it has been everything I expected it to be! I bought the Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Classic when it first launched and was immediately hooked. If you are wondering if you should upgrade then I can tell you that now is the time. The Galaxy Watch has a battery that can last for 3 days easy. My Gear S2 started to last around 3/4 of a day and this has been a very welcomed improvement. The Galaxy Watch also has a nice etched crown that makes the watch look more like a traditional watch and the haptic feedback from rotating the bezel feels crisp. The 46mm watch face is huge so if you have a smaller wrist you may want to consider the 42mm version. The screen on this watch is by far the best I have seen. The watch faces look good enough to pass as a real watch with the always on feature as well as the intense brightness. I would recommend turning down the brightness to about 3 out of 10 as the watch comes with an Outdoor mode that will change the brightness when it detects sunlight.

Out of the box...very nice packaging accomplished again by Samsung. The box the watch is packaged in is a hard protective container that assures your item is in pristine condition. Includes a charger, small and large wristband and brief startup instruction booklet. The watch is very similar to the Gear S3 classic (which I own) and looks very classy compared to other smart watches on the market. The only drawback is the 46mm is a little to large looking on the wrist for me. (My S3 is the 42mm) Overall it still is a very classy looking smartwatch. The battery life is amazing. I went 4 days without a charge but this is based on Bluetooth connection right now as I have not connected to my cell phone provider yet. Fitness features are good along with the built in music storage. I am VERY impressed with this new design and for now giving it 4 stars as I will update again later. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

I absolutely love my Galaxy Watch. For those who are in a lot of meetings, it is a very handy and discreet way to get messages during a meeting. It is also a great step counter and heart rate monitor. I also use it to set alarms without having to make a lot of noise. The battery is life is great as it easily goes a full day--even with the always on display.
I also like how the watch is customizable. I added a new band and cover.

The Galaxy Watch is Powerful and Aesthetic!

Initially, I noticed my new 46mm Silver Galaxy Watch was a beautiful device that has an aesthetically shaped stainless-steel body and a gorgeous 1.3" circular Super AMOLED screen that is crisp, clear, and easy to read, even in bright sunlight. I also like the fact that it is Corning Gorilla Glass DX+, which is means it is visibly elegant and invisibly tough. Even though I have done my fair share of bumping into corners and such, it remains unscathed.
Pairing my Galaxy Watch with my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was painless and easy. The software on both phone and watch is very intuitive. I love how they walk you through an introduction of your watch, leading you with a few interactions to help familiarize you with the everything. Well done Samsung!
During setup, it also sensed that I had the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi + 4G LTE version of the Galaxy Watch and it quickly walked me through setting up my watch to use with my carrier. This means that when I leave my phone at home, I can still get all my phone calls and text messages on my watch, as well as info from my different apps.
It has a powerful 472 mAh battery that gives me 3+ days of heavy and very active usage. Now, I will say that about two weeks ago, I received an update to the watch software, and both the battery life and how quickly it charges has improved. It's nice to see Samsung actively working on improving the overall experience.
One of my favorite features of the Galaxy Watch is that the water resistance, which is now at 5 ATM which is 165-foot submersion with IP68 and MIL-STD-810G certifications. This is far more protection than most people will ever need. Before I go into the water, I simply activate Water Mode and away I go. And when I'm done, I deactivate water mode and it plays a special "tune" that insures all the water is "bounced" out from the speaker.
And yes, it has a speaker and a microphone so that I can originate and answer phone calls from my wrist, as well as play music over the speaker for those times when I forget my Bluetooth headset. The microphone appears to have amazing noise cancelling tech as people say it sounds crystal clear.
In conclusion, this is one of the best smartwatches you will find. It is powerful and feature-packed, yet it is intuitive and very easy to use. And you have several versions and sizes to choose from. The Galaxy Watch is a beautiful device that brings great capabilities to my wrist. If you haven't already, I would suggest going out and getting one for yourself!

A Step Up

I have been using Samsung's smart watches since the first Gear. Every new model has impressed me and the Galaxy Watch has done it again. I really like that they brought back the stand alone feature and that I do not have to have my phone with me to use the watch fully. It integrates nicely and I get to use my same phone number which is Awesome. The construction is strong and feels great. I love how flexible the band is that it comes with. I have gone swimming and done an OCR with the watch on and it has had no problems at all. The battery life has to be my favorite feature. I am able to use the watch for 3-4 days without having to charge it.

The new Galaxy Watch 46mm LTE surpassed my expectations. The interface is way more polished. The design is intuitive. It seamlessly paired to my Galaxy Note 8 cell phone. I was able to connect the watch to a second line and for all purposes I have two cell phones. I can call, text, and use apps right on my watch even if my phone is off. I made calls and answered calls using the watch to test this functionality and no one could tell the difference in audio quality compared to a regular phone call. Samsung gets extra points for that. The bend design is different in this edition and way sleeker in my opinion. The battery life is much better than the previous model, it last me two full days using it extensively going back and forth between LTE & Bluetooth. For a regular user it should comfortably last four days. I have recommended it to family and friends. My brother got a Samsung watch too and loves it.

Most Versatile Smartwatch

The galaxy watch has been the most versatile watch that I have personally owned. It has become a valuable accessory for me and offers a ton of features which I have utilized. The biggest feature that I have enjoyed is monitoring my health as well as giving me notifications of important meetings and calls/texts. With my busy schedule it allows me a ton of flexibility and peace of mind when it comes to ensuring I don't miss any important events. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the market for a smartwatch.

Loving this watch

I owned the ZTE watch before purchasing this watch. MAJOR differences upfront... The Samsung watch was easier to navigate, it also linked to my phone faster with the wearable app. which if you have the IconX ear buds you can link the music from your phone to the watch and from the ear buds, neat feature. I changed the band on my watch cause the rubber band made my arm sweat a lot. I put on a stylish chain kink band that makes my smart watch look very good with my clothing. and it doesn't stand out as just being my smart watch. The features of the exercise coach was awesome. During a meeting recently, it came on to do a torso twist as I had been sitting for too long. once my coordinator saw what i was doing we did it as a class every time it popped up. You won't be disappointed with theis purchase.
