I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

Since 2022, I have worn Samsung watches, and I adore everything about the Galaxy Watch model—with the exception of the absence of "omnivorous" payment terminals that accept bank cards. Maybe this is the reason why I am unable to award the clock a five.
The rest of the time, it's a great watch with lots of features and respectable autonomy.
And last, if you take your participation in sports seriously, I would suggest shopping for specially sharpened sports watches from Garmin, Suunto, or Polar.

Pros

First impression: a genuine watch. I like that the watch can be worn with a suit and is very similar to the traditional one. For large men, of which I am also one, the watch's size is ideal. 2. Soft, comfortable silicone strap that is gentle on the skin. 3. Usual strap fastening. You can purchase whatever bracelet or strap you choose. 4. Reasonable battery life: Guaranteed 4 days in the "screen turns on at the touch of a button" mode and 7-8 days in the "screen is always on" mode. 5. Integrated GPS. Jogging is useful and convenient, but you can't record your workout on your phone while you're out and about. 6. Support for Samsung Pay. 7. The availability of a speaker. The watch has a hands-free mode that you can use, for instance, while riding. 8. There is a wide range of software and dial options available for watches. 9. The watch also shows all notifications that are shown on the phone. You can control music playback via the watch (volume, pause, rewind). In essence, you cannot use a phone at all when traveling by car or public transportation. 10. By using Bluetooth to connect wireless headphones to the watch, you can use it as a player in the gym. 11. Excellent performance of the watch. I don't recall ever experiencing a "glitch" during my whole usage.

Cons

1. The watch is unsuitable to serve as a "sport watch" because the pulse sensor typically only measures the pulse in a calm state and with a significant delay. If your hand is wet—and during exercise, it is always wet from sweat—the pulse is either not measured at all or is measured incorrectly. In general, you must purchase a chest pulse sensor; - the screen goes dark or the "always on display" with a dial turns on during training because there is no always-on mode that shows training metrics (pulse, distance, etc.). 2. Not all payment terminals are supported by the watch. There is no major issue, however throughout my year of use, I experienced 7 instances where I was unable to use my watch as payment.
