The average quality of the product, especially for such money.

Many of the functions that marketers present as useful and necessary are actually absolutely useless and unnecessary. For example fitness.
Auto-detection of the sport and the counter, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, etc. Is this for idiots? Who himself cannot calculate how much he pulled himself up or sat down?

By the way, the display language on the watch cannot be selected, the same language is displayed as on the smartphone.

Compared to other sounds, vibration and notifications, the hourly signal is so quiet and weak that even in complete silence it is difficult to hear and feel it.

If you contact Samsung technical support in the chat on their website, keep in mind that these are extremely illiterate, greyhounds and lazy people. Contacted 3 times:

1) He asked if it was possible to turn on the clock when the courier brought them, before giving money to check. They answered that it was possible. The courier said that it was impossible and called Samsung, from there they called me back and said that it was IMPOSSIBLE.

2) I asked why the clock, when the timer (native, from Samsung) is on, switches to the timer from the clock mode, and then back, and without any clear algorithm. They answered that this is such a FUNCTIONAL: I say, "why is this not described in the instructions?"
TP - "Because it's designed that way, it's a feature of the software."

3) The third time I contact technical support and I get information that is worse than just no answer: "How to turn on the signal every hour?"
TP - "No such function"
Me — "I found it."
TP - "This is not described in the instructions. So there is no such function."
Me - "I have"
TP - "You have an uncertified watch"
I - "I ordered them on the official website of Samsung"
TP - "You haven't answered for a long time. The chat is closed, we need to help other users, they are waiting in line"
I'm "WHAT? FACEPALM"

I put 3 points for TP. If it did not exist at all, then 4-5. If Samsung will work on the bugs, then I'll change it.

Pros

Beautiful, comfortable, stylish, high quality, a lot of good dials. Nothing slows down, as someone wrote here, this is crap. On the watch screen, you can simultaneously see the weather and steps and time and stopwatch. The watch is no longer raw, fully working and almost without jambs, but some little things still need to be fixed. I hope they fix it in the next firmware.

Cons

Far from always turn on by gesture. Those. I turned the clock towards me, but it did not turn on. I have AOD mode enabled (always on), but in fact (and Samsung doesn’t talk about it) the display turns off and a faintly visible dial with a dark background turns on, on which you can see even more or less normally indoors, but in the sun it’s time, of course it is no longer visible. Here is such an "always on display". At the same time, the instructions say that if the display is always on, then, due to the peculiarities of the display technology, it will show a poor-quality image after some time of using the watch. So this is not a Patek Philippe that you can pass on to your children)). "Do not count, dear customers, that the quality will not deteriorate." The white background of the dials is much easier to read, more comfortable for the eyes. But there are only a few such dials and they are far from ideal in terms of functions. All for the sake of a long battery life, because a bright display will consume much more energy, so it is not beneficial for either Samsung or developers, because they will have complaints like: "Why does your screen eat up battery faster than others?".
