Fantastic Smart Watch

Having owned a number of other smartwatches, I was always let down by sluggish behaviour, poor screens or a lack of functionality.

Immediately though after unboxing and powering on, it feels like a smartwatch worth wearing. Solid build quality, fantastic screen, extremely fast and responsive OS packed with features. What's not to love?
Well, a few minor issues, but these comes from the Samsung ecosystem. Duplication of apps between Google's Native apps and Samsung own variations. Some of the functionality such as ECG and blood oxygen required a Galaxy smartphone to use, if you want to trigger it from a Tile for instance, however if you load the Health app on the watch, you can do it without a Galaxy phone.

Battery life is OK, no where near as good as some other smart watches, however with the screen off and using it mainly as a watch with a few notifications and an hour of precise GPS tracking for a walk, I can end a 14-16 hour day with around 50% battery left.

All in all, very happy with this watch.
