The Samsung Galaxy Watch is a refined vision of the company’s Gear S2 smartwatch from 2015 – and it’s the best wearable the company has yet made. We prefer the smaller 42mm model for its size and weight, though if you’re into the chunky look, the 46mm model will give you better battery life. But it’s still only at its best when paired with a Samsung phone – using it with any other brand of phone loses the message and email apps. iOS connectivity is a little flaky, but it's good to have the option to use with an iPhone.

The Galaxy Watch is Samsung's most refined smartwatch due to its helpful fitness tracking and four-day battery life – if you opt for the larger 46mm size that we liked and recommend. All of this is packaged inside a sophisticated-looking circular silver-and-black smartwatch that has a rotating bezel for effortless menu navigation. Be warned, third-party apps are lacking and its iOS support is limited if you're using an iPhone. This is best for Samsung fans.

Impressive four-day battery life; Great core smartwatch software; Rotating bezel cycles through UI;

Proprietary wireless charger; Bixby proven to be terrible again; No Google Maps, WhatsApp, FB Messenger

It does what I want it to do. I can answer it as I dont always hear my phone ringing

The watch is good. It has a lot of features and almost everything that the ads claim. However the piece that i got had a small for on the dial. I had to bring it back to the good guys and they agreed it was some manufacturing fault in that particular piece.

The watch itself is great. Works wonderfully, fast and snappy. Has a lot of options and had zero issues pairing it with my google pixel 3. The only thing I didn't like was the included strap. It was a tad small.

My husband got one and I loved the look and functionality of his I got the smaller version for myself. I adore the flexibility/changeability of the watch faces and the fact that I get notifications for texts and emails immediately.

I can't say how much I love this watch. It's both beautiful and easy to use. I purchased it directly from Samsung rather than through Verizon. It was easy to activate it on my Verizon account, and pairing it with my Galaxy S7 was simple.
