Overall it's a win

First impressions, great. As always with Samsung, the packaging and presentation is top notch.

I've not had a Samsung watch before but always used their phones so I expected it to be user friendly and it really is even though I'm certain I haven't fully experienced all it can do yet!

I love the look of it and the range of faces you can choose from. It's sleek and stylish looking. And can be as subtle or as lary as you choose!

It fits nicely. The band feels like quality.

Connecting was simple.

I particularly love the sleep tracker. As a chronic insomniac it's really helping me track and improve my sleep timings, quality and general knowledge.

The fitness tracker is fantastic. It comes with all the bells and whistles you'd need.

It even measures stress, BP, ECG etc which is great and beneficial and actively encourages you to breathe deeply and slow down... or to get up and move if you're having a lazy / computer day.

Replying to messages and receiving calls works very well. I didn't even know it had a mic/speaker until my first facetime when I realised I was talking via my watch and not my phone.

My only gripe would be battery length. Initially it didn't even last one day. I'm not sure if that's normal. But I'm getting into a habit of when to give it a boost charge and that's working out well as it actually charges at lightening speed so it's no huge issue.

There's loads more to say and I'll add to this once I've had it longer and explored more. For now, it's a big win.
