Review on Samsung Galaxy Watch (42mm, GPS, Bluetooth) – Rose Gold (US Version): The Perfect Timepiece with Exceptional Features by Steve Rohde

Revainrating 4 out of 5

LOVE ! And I've tried many, many hours.

I really like this Samsung Galaxy Watch. It paired easily with my new Galaxy Note 9. No time to set up either. As soon as I turned the clock on, my phone lit up and said it had found a clock that needed setting. I've used a lot of smartwatches and fitness trackers. I currently have a FitBit Versa and a Charge HR as well as an Apple Watch Series 3+ Cellular. This Galaxy Watch wins. He does everything everyone else does, and even some. The model I have doesn't support cellular network, but within Bluetooth range you can make calls and send text messages through it. The battery life is days which is the HUGE difference between this watch and my Apple Watch which has been my favorite for a long time. The Apple Watch lasts a day and a half at best, which gets annoying when charging so frequently. Another thing the Apple Watch and FitBit don't have is an altimeter and barometer. This little gesture is fun to play with and can come in handy, especially on a camping trip. The Samsung Health app that pairs with the Galaxy Watch is one of the best fitness and health apps I've ever used. It consolidates all information in one easy-to-read place. It shows you your steps, average heart rate and active minutes. If you wear it while you sleep, it will track your sleep patterns and split into sleep time, then split into light sleep, deep sleep and wake time, which is very convenient. It also supports Samsung Pay so you can leave your wallet in the car or at home and have somewhere to eat/drink on the go. I find it handy when I go for a run so I don't have to take anything extra with me. I highly recommend this watch. It's stylish and offers a lot more options than the competition!
