Great watch, much better than my old smartwatch

I bought a Moto 360 a few years back when smartwatches first came out and it was nice but annoying. He was attached to everything and kept warning me and eventually I got tired of him. My wife also had a first generation Samsung Gear watch and it was about the same as Moto. Well, fast forward a few years and now my wife, daughter, son and sister-in-law have newer smartwatches (Apple Watch and Fitbit) and they all love them. It was time to buy a new phone, so I bought a Samsung S20 FE and then decided on a Samsung watch. I saw in the reviews that they work really well with Samsung phones, so I went with the Watch 3. I looked at the Watch 2 which had a few less features and then I found the Watch 3 in 41mm and then I found a refurbished watch so I paid about the same for the Watch 3 as I did for that Watch 2. I am very impressed with the watch and really like it. I didn't get a cell phone, it only connects to my phone via bluetooth and/or wifi, but it's really amazing. I get my messages and can turn off the ones I don't need and get all the health apps too. So now he's telling me to get out of my chair and walk around, get an EKG, stress test and oxygen levels. I was concerned that 41mm might be too small but it's a great size for me as you can see in the picture. I've had a Citizen Echo Drive for over 10 years and they are a bit larger but I like the size of the Watch 3 better. If you're thinking of getting a watch this is a good deal at the moment and I think it's working best if you use it with a Samsung phone.
