I love this watch but....

Regarding my purchase, double check the prices and make sure you take screenshots leading up to the checkout, as it will help you if you find yourself a victim of price changes and misleading information about products you never received like an extra Black Hybrid Leather Band that was an additional band ordered and wasn't in there. Instead I received my first pick navy blue sports band. This lead me to dealing with them on the phone for 37 mins and 13 seconds. In order to straighten out the details. So make sure you screen capture the checkout and verify that the prices and items listed is correct. Cause you can save yourself so much headache when you do these steps in case you need to get reimbursed or a missing product not received. Put the date and time with your screen capture and match it with your invoice. When received your item, if all looks good, just trash the screen captures.
Cause prices were changed by ten dineros here, ten dinero there. Also my band I selected with my watch became a charge as an additional watch so be aware!!!
The watch 4 itself is very beautfiul. Battery life is not that much different than my Galaxy Watch S2 model. It has a vibrant and crisp display, but, the functions remains somewhat the same. I think it's missing features as far as what exercise modes there is. For example, if you are doing cardio/HIIT, there is nothing in there that indicates this. So you may have to select circuit training, running (which isn't the same as HIIT). Or at least customize the workout so you can give it a label and specifically indicate what type of workout you are performing. I turn on the bluetooth to pair the information with my phone, to receive updates, also, to get the phone and watch in synced just to get that info onto my phone. There are room for improvements and I understand this is still new and I hope in future updates, they will give you more customizations as I feel it's lacking things here and there. Battery life has improved slightly, but, not the way I hoped. I was expecting at least 5-7 days on a single charge. The only way you could maximize your battery to last about 3-5 days is to turn your bluetooth off, wifi, data, gps, and grayscale, and periodically check your time. I have power saving mode turned on, but, it's helping just a bit. I am hoping they would improve this in the long run. I expected this to be leaps and bounds. Especially concerning the battery life, but, you have to ration your display and limit what apps you used. So, if you are seriously using this for workouts, counting your steps, keeping track of calories burned and so on..... Yet, you don't mind charging your watch every other day or so. This may be for you. Cause otherwise, if you are looking to use to handle everything you throw at it, be prepared to have your watched charged every day and if you're fine with that. Then that's fine as well. If you're expecting this to last and last like some other brands out there, know that the price isn't super high at this time, so if you want a longer battery life. Do your research and find one that suit your needs. ECG isn't really helpful at this time and the lack of information on what these numbers mean without that much information. Needs improve. Check your Beats-per-minute is nice, but, stress level once again, it doesn't give that much information. So, I feel like it's kind of basic in that department. Maybe it's just me, because I was expecting more. Although I will keep this product, but, I feel this will be used for workouts, time, fashion, and loving the ability to change the watch face digitally on screen, also nice to see my notifications on text messages, phone calls and answering them. It's not much that different from previous galaxy watches, but, then again, I only have the S2 model, so I don't others to compare to. Other brands do give you more bang for your buck, so do your research and select one that suit your needs.
