Advantages: Design - neat size, not boilers, they look very aesthetically pleasing on the hand Screen - well, no questions asked, OLED is the best of all screens Huge functionality - a huge number of watch faces and programs Working with notifications is just a song, absolutely everything is configured Build quality and quality of materials - there is a solid five!
Disadvantages: a huge, fat minus and the main reason for all my suffering with this watch - if a wireless bluetooth headset is connected to your phone, then you won't be able to start a call from the clock, or instruct the phone to dial a number from the watch without taking out the phone! the previous GEAR S2 sport watch did not have a built-in speaker and the call was not a problem. the same clock forces you to make a choice: "either you speak through me, since I can also be a headset, or take out the phone, dial the number yourself and speak through your headset" I really hope that the programmers will come up with a switch and fix everything. No more complaints!
Comment: The most important reason for buying is to work with alerts / notifications without taking your phone out of your pocket every time. And here this watch has no equal. Sorting notifications by which application they came from, in several windows with a message counter. Instant reaction of the watch with the ability to quickly respond with ready-made templates, you can type text, or simply dictate, and through the microphone they will translate speech into text. ALL !!! goodbye shovel phone :)) Pedometer - lies a little, checked with readings on the phone.Every day I walk the same route - according to the phone's data, 5200-5500 steps - the clock closes the daily bar of 6000 - 6200 steps (GPS is turned off in order to save battery) Altimer - does not always count the floors accurately, I live on the 9th floor and go up on foot, from 9 floors it counts 6-7, sometimes 8 if I actively wave my hand! GPS - maybe it works, how much exactly - did not check, constantly turned off Microphone - sensitive, in the car, hand on the steering wheel and you can hear me without problems, Speaker - loud enough so as not to ask again, Heartbeat sensor - spread with an electronic tonometer +/- 3-10 beats STRESS LEVEL MEASUREMENT - A VERY NECESSARY THING Sports modes - I only dream about sports :)) Paying for hours - yes, it works, from the word ALWAYS, you just need to set up correctly Alarm clock, weather, calendar, voice notes - everything works as it should! They switch music, vibrate if they forgot their phone somewhere. Monitors mobility and, if it stays too long, makes you move, counts calories, monitor water and coffee consumption! In my understanding, for me, as an office employee, this is the best watch in terms of price / quality / functionality ratio, which will not let you miss the right letter, call or message! Whoever has a small hand is the best choice in spite of the fact that they keep charging for only 2.5 days, this and that, provided that I take them off my hand just to put them on the charge and immediately back onto my hand! would i buy them again? more yes than no. I hope the review will be useful to someone ...

Advantages: Looks very cool, especially after changing the strap and dial. They constantly praise me for walking, it's nice, canceled the wedding, because the clock tells me more pleasant things, encourages and supports me in everything. Sleep tracking works great. They do not scratch, touched a bunch of times on doors and corners.
Disadvantages: If my pixel's battery sits down, the clock vibrates and talks about it every 10 seconds, it's annoying. Sometimes they do not pick up Yandex music management. Awful application store to which you need to constantly enter captcha, username and password
Comment: Overall very satisfied

Advantages: Beautiful appearance Convenient to use The hand quickly gets used to the size and weight Change of dials Suitable for sports You can read incoming messages right on the watch and quickly answer them Making and receiving calls Feedback with the user
Disadvantages: You need to get used to the thickness Samsung Pay does not work in Ukraine
Comment: I bought my wife a Rose Gold 42 mm model. There is everything you need for convenient use: smart notifications, settings for the watch itself, functions and modes for sports, camera and player control. I was pleased that through them you can talk while driving a car. A cool feature is the rotating bezel. You move quickly and conveniently through the menu. Changing dials is the most it! The wife makes them herself in the GalaxyWatchDesigner program. You can install a browser on your watch and use the Internet, as well as watch videos on YouTube. Have not tried it in the pool yet. We connected to wireless headphones without any problems, while jogging it is convenient to switch tracks and adjust the volume of music. There is one caveat. The watch hung several times while running. Didn't respond to turning the bezel and pressing buttons to view data during training. There were no failures in fitness. During the session, the watch told you what the heart rate, the duration of the workout, how many calories burned, etc. (can be customized). Pleases a quiet alarm clock with a pleasant perceptible vibration. In general, the wife is very happy.

Advantages: Bezel Dials Build quality Design: classic + sport in 1 case
Comment: Moved with Apple watch 2, 42mm, which were very delicate and scratched on the zipper on the sleeve of the jacket on the first day. Passed with them for 5 months. Discharged in a day. It is more securely and firmly assembled here. Pleased with the abundance of dials after the meager AW.

Advantages: High-quality screen. Water resistance. Not heavy. Player control. Receiving notifications and calls. Loud enough speaker. Size compared to 46 is good for thin wrists,
Disadvantages: The battery, compared to the larger model, is weak by a lot, as it did not twist with the settings for more than 1.5 days it does not hold, with bluetooth turned on, receiving notifications, brightness by 1, turning the hand, and 5 times from the clock
Comment: As a clock with an alert for me, the very thing. Would be a thicker hand without hesitation I would buy model 46. With a battery I need to connect with another phone, I have a samsung galaxy s 8 + ... I continue to optimize further !!! Unsubscribe. 10/14/18. Approximately 7 charging cycles have passed !! The clock is swinging with each charge, for almost 2.5 days ... which is completely normal. 5-7 calls. Hand turn. Brightness by 2. a lot of messages. Night mode, or not I do not use training. I only use sleep mode. I use a pedometer. I use a player a lot. I bathed in the shower twice. Everything is good !!. If you have any questions, ask.

Advantages: I bought the watch a month ago. I use it every day. I don’t use many functions, but I know that they exist and can be useful at any time. Like NFS, for example. Apps and free watch faces are enough for me. If not, you can buy. Comes with a comfortable, soft silicone strap. In addition, I ordered a metal bracelet for Ali, came and sat down like a native. The only thing that would like to draw the attention of those who want to buy a watch is the size. I, after much thought and fitting, took 42 and did not regret it. If your wrist is not very wide, I recommend looking at 42, not 46, because they will look powerful on your hand.
Disadvantages: With bluetooth, nfs, screen always on, the battery lasts up to two days, no more.
Comment: In connection with the breakdown of old quartz watches, the need to purchase new ones has become urgent. While I was looking at the mechanics and stuff, but not a smart watch. In the process of monitoring, I came across Galaxy Watch. It took about two more weeks to study the characteristics, reviews, reviews, etc. As a result, I chose a functional, many, many in one. I never regretted it, I like the watch.

Advantages: Build quality, alerts, display, work with shealth, bundle with phone, samsung pay.
Disadvantages: Battery, bixby in English, the selection of really good dials is not that wide. Expensive. The need for special charger.
Comment: I took a 42mm narrow wrist. The battery lasts for 2 days with the bluetooth turned on, the constantly working heart rate monitor, the do not disturb mode at night, notifications. I do not turn on Always on. I rarely use hourly conversations, but sometimes it comes in handy. I charge it after work, and put it on at night to track my sleep. In the cold season, it is not so convenient to check notifications and the like from under the sleeve of the jacket. It will be more useful in the summer. I did not understand why, but when there is no Internet, they do not track sleep. The heart rate monitor does not always work perfectly, but bearable. You can easily live without a smartwatch and not suffer. The future belongs to them, now while "grinding".I would wait 5 years for technologies and programs to become more efficient. I'm not sure about the advisability of such an acquisition if there is just a good watch. Well, that's cool.

Advantages: appearance. And in sports and at a business meeting. The screen is super. The emech is wildly convenient and pleasant. Crammed with functions to the maximum
Disadvantages: The screen is still too small, but this is a price to pay for the dimensions. I have a narrow wrist. For me, the dimensions are optimal. 46 it would be too much the main minus autonomy
Comment: I thought for a long time whether I need a smart watch at all. As a result, when I saw the announcement that now it was not a classic and sports version, but something in between, and in 2 sizes I realized that I would try. I will say that if you use all the chips, brightness, sensors and connections, then the clock will live for 12 hours. My brightness is at a minimum, almost all notifications are turned off except for the main ones, wi-fi is turned off. And the watch lasts about 30 hours on a single charge. And on training days - a day. This is very little for me. So draw your conclusions

Super linck
Advantages: + Battery // Holds a charge for 2 days or more + Many applications for every taste and color + Many dials and The ability to install a dial not from the market + Ease of control // The bezel is divine + Remote control // If you forgot your phone at home, then connect the watch to WI -FI you can receive notifications and see missed ones + Design and ergonomics + Convenient bundled strap + Good connection // loud speaker and very high-quality microphone
Disadvantages: + Battery // I want more than 2.5 days + Special OS // few software developers for watches + Altimeter is lying + In the car or on the bus, it always fixes cycling // this problem can be solved by turning off auto metering, but it's still not pleasant + Cannot be changed playlist in the music player // the biggest problem I hope for an update + price // For 15-16 it will come down)
Comment: I recommend the watch, I really liked it. At the expense of the battery, the first 3 days after the purchase, constantly doing something in them and the battery for 24 hours sat down to zero, but as soon as it became less active, that is, turning off the AOD mode (always active screen) switched only music, watch the time well and watched the weather 2 times a day, and in this mode they work for 2-3 days and this is enough for comfortable use.

Advantages: "Juicy" screen; quiet, but clean speaker, including one that simulates the "ticking" of the arrows; quick response to the bezel
Disadvantages: somewhat cumbersome; Tizen OS; silicone strap
Comment: The first days of use - the flight is normal! Fast interface, convenient payment via Samsung pay without a smartphone. The strap was immediately replaced by "Milanese" - fortunately, the procedure is simple. After my Samsung gear s2 classic, the progress is tangible, but the size is somewhat unusual.
