Feels like a piece of technology
Bixby is useless

The Bixby voice-assistant could be better. Samsung has quashed some bugs but not all. To achieve Samsung's battery life numbers

Stylish design, Long battery life, Good fitness features, Built-in music storage
Few apps for Tizen, Bixby far less capable than Google Assistant
For its battery life alone, the Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best smartwatch for Android users. Being able to go four days without a recharge is reason enough to pick up this device. We also really like the Tizen interface, which is intuitive and easy to n...

Abstract: Samsung introduced a new Galaxy Watch at its Galaxy Note 9 event this morning in New York. And while it could end up being one of the best smartwatches Samsung has ever made, let me tell you one thing: you may want to hang tight and see what else is comin...
Excellent display, even in sunlight, Rotating bezel is lovely, Health and fitness tracking are good, Software is helpful and polished, Hardware is robust and resistant
Always-on watch face kills the battery, Charges too slowly, Masculine design narrows appeal, Third-party apps are generally horrible
Price: $329+Bottom line: The Galaxy Watch can be a great smartwatch for you no matter your needs. It can handle fitness and health tracking, but also daily wear with lots of useful tools and good notification support. Battery life is a concern if you use...
Sleep tracking is very accurate, 42mm is very stylish, 46mm sports a big battery
46mm variant is heavy, Bixby Voice isn't the greatest, Doesn't immediately recognize when I start working out
I thought Samsung's Galaxy Watch was overall an attractive device. While the watch is a bit bulky, its lengthy battery life made it worth it. The Galaxy Watch brings usability more than ever before with pre-loaded exercises, an improved heart rate monitor...
Abstract: Samsung may have surprised few with the Galaxy Note 9's launch at Unpacked 2018, given all the leaks surrounding the device, but the Galaxy Watch wasn't as easy to predict.That the company is pursuing wearables isn't surprising. I've lost count on how ma...
Feels really solid, A good looking circular smartwatch, Great rotational controls that work well with touchscreen, Amazing battery life, A bigger smartwatch for folks who like big watches, Works on both iOS and Android
Technically a minor evolution compared to the two year old Gear S3, Tizen feels underused, and there aren't enough apps available for it, Samsung ditched its magnetic payment technology (MST) in Samsung Pay in this watch
With a battery that goes for days, Samsung has built a modern smartwatch for people who love extending their notifications to their wrist, though it's one with a catch: the Galaxy Watch doesn't feel as smart as it probably should.You can call it a problem...
