10 days in, a week of skiing and other activities, loving the Watch. It is a very smart piece of engineering, looks nice, feels nice to wear I've got the 46mm, and it fits nicely on my skinny old arms. I've used most of the features, very easy to learn. The phone and messaging ability is fantastic,

With the Galaxy Watch, Samsung is probably presenting the best smartwatch for an Android smartphone. And it doesn't run on Android at all. The battery life is very good, Tizen OS is even better adapted to the round design and some new features have been added.

Great battery life, Fast operating system, Numerous functions, Good workmanship

Limitations without a Samsung smartphone

Whether you pick up the big or small Samsung Galaxy Watch, you're getting a smartwatch that makes a much more compelling argument for Android phone owners than a Wear watch does right now, even if it may not necessarily see iPhone users ditch their Apple Watch just yet.

Solid fitness and sports tracking features, Slick Tizen OS, 2 day+ battery life

Galaxy is a good watch, but doubt if it is value for money compare to other smart watches in the market also to its predecessor model. It has effective health tracker, both heart beat and stress checker. Also, 39 different activities to track. Overall happy with the purchase.

Loving it so far. Never been a big fan of smartwatches due to the limited functionality and this one is no different. Don't expect the world. But for fitness, timers and as a time piece it's solid. The steel adds a durable quality to it.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch follows the tradition of the Galaxy Gear S smartwatch line with a new brand and a new outlook on life. The Galaxy Watch uses the newest version of Tizen to deliver a wrist-bound smart wearable device experience that’s both powerful and feels natural.

Comfortable fit with standard strap, Buttons and dial are easy (and fun) to use, Classic yet current look and feel, Automatic activity tracking is simple and helpful, Tizen is smooth and ready for prime-time

Doesn't come in all-black, Needs 4 apps to connect to non-Samsung Android, Limited functionality with iPhone, No MST for Samsung Pay (uses NFC instead)

With an ECG app and trip detection, the Samsung Galaxy Watch3 offers significant health-focused upgrades over its predecessors, and is one of the best alternatives to the Apple Watch.

Beautiful classic watch design; Rotating physical bezel for easy navigation; Bright; sharp screen; New health and safety features; including an ECG app and trip detection; Auto detects select exercises; Lots of watch face options

Blood pressure app may not be available in the US; Missing some popular third-party apps; Not all features work on iOS; Relatively short battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 offers one of the best smartwatch experiences on the market, with a dazzling design and top-end spec that allows it to run as smoothly as any other wearable on the market. It isn’t faultless, and its improvements over the original Galaxy Watch are limited, but if the middling battery life or high price don’t put you off this may be perfect for you.

Great, premium design; Rotating bezel is useful; Strong fitness features;

Battery could be better; Tizen’s apps are limited; High price

The key selling point for Samsung Galaxy Watches has always been the fact they actually look like timepieces. Unlike the square Apple Watch – which has always looked a bit too much like a Blake’s 7 or Star Trek communicator for my liking – the Galaxy Watch 3 has a spherical touch screen design that,...

Super swish design, Solid fitness and health tracking, Decent smartwatch functionality

Battery life could be better

Samsung finally fixed the accuracy of its fitness algorithms! ECG feature recently cleared by FDA. Adds host of health feature updates. Smaller, lighter, and thinner than previous Galaxy Watch. Kept the physical rotating bezel. So much to like.

Samsung Pay limited to Samsung phones. You're stuck with Bixby. Battery life still just 2 days.
