What a great watch, pulls up. Pics from my wyze cam, has hey Google, and the play store so basically any app you want! Battery is even better than I thought it would be because you can put it on battery saver mode and it last for days, best money Ive spent in a long time! No joke! I can't even begin to tell you all the other things this watch can do, "smartwatch" indeed!!!

I initially thought this watch was a huge mistake and waste of time and money because of the battery. The battery ran out so fast I mean like before my work shift was over I was charging it to make sure it would make it through the evening until bedtime. That's not an issue anymore or I would have sent it back long ago. I love the watch! The screen is super tiny tho so texting is difficult but not impossible. All other features work as expected.

So far, I love this watch! Gave it 4 out of 5 stars but maybe in a year I'll look at this review again. Connects seamlessly to my Google Pixel 6 (not pro) watch by bluetooth. Got my calendar right there, both texts and phone calls are easy to answer through this watch, I mean it, so far I love it.

My one curiosity is why it's still updating the system every day after these weeks. No idea. it's not a problem at all. Watch and phone still functions perfectly. I'm just curious about all the system updates.

I will avoid the facts that this watch is outdated at launch by its hardware (processor). That, coupled with retail and even discounted price also are out of step with the competition. These two big gripes aside. The watch is good and likely the best choice going into 2023 for pure Android Wear OS users (not looking at Apple or Tizen overlay users.)

Its not perfect and Pixel users will benefit the most when paired to this watch. Its lost most of the lag recent watches from other Wear OS brands. Has all the sensors the majority of buyers could want based on watch tech right now. It swipes, it plays well with the apps made for it. It gives you the info you ask of it. There are even a few nice 3rd part accessories now to avoid Google Gouging for proprietary bands. And there are few quirks I hope they iron out soon. Mainly, when the phone is in Bedtime Mode. Make the watch do it too, or add that Zen Mode feature to the watch also. It sucks to have animals tripping the security cameras outside dinging on my wrist and killing my sleep score. The snooze/do not disturb button on watch fails too easily and you have turn it on/off manually everytime.

As many claim, the battery sucks. Sort of. I can go up to 36+ hours on a slow day, and many others can too. It will depend on too many factors to list. But basically your popularity with notifications and thinking you need the screen always on are the biggest battery hurdles. Most can get use to touch to wake. And maybe only having text, phone, front door doorbell and one email be allowed to bother your watch with notifications. Do you really need to know what cousin Billy had at Dairy Queen when he posts the same pic/vid on Facebook, Instagram, Tic Toc and YouTube, etc. Find a nice balance of wrist information along with what sensors you need checking if you are still alive. You can start the day and track everything till the next morning when you charge it again while you shower and get the next day started. It charges quickly. And most other Wear OS watches have the same daily charge requirements. Nobody on Wear OS is winning on battery. Or Turn every setting all the way up and have a spare charger puck ready for a mid day juice. If you go that route. I suggest a quick release band to ease the removal of the watch.

So, its not up to the level or price of the Ultra Apple Watch. And if you don't care for Samsung. Your love for stock Android will eventually lead you back to this watch. Unless you forgo ECG sensors. The price will drop soon. Cases are minimizing the fragility of an ALL glass jelly bean design. But when comes to keeping your phone pocketed and yet still have info relayed in a useful way. Pixel Watch is the best current albeit not perfect solution for now.

REVIEW IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO THOSE WHO HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL !!!!

I had galaxy 6 that I liked but it was uncomfortable to wear for too long, so i would take it off often which resulted in the watch getting lost, as a replacement i got galaxy classic 4 which was very heavy and looked small on my wrist.

I love this one, its very light, looks great, even though its a small diameter. I can wear it for 10h+ and the wrist feels fine. The battery lasts for 36 hours. I find that the activity tracker over estimates the amount of calories burned, which is a software issue (dont have hard metrics, just a gut feeling)

I originally passed on this one as it was ~350-400$ (when I was buying galaxy 6).
Ended up buying for $200 for black friday. (you will need a case and a glass cover or it will get scratched since there are no edges to protect it, so expect another $30 of expenses there)
