Reviews around look (4.40 of 5)

  • Nice looking watch but the BEZEL just fell off after 7 months of use.
  • Samsung's proprietary O/S gets you nothing but battery life maybe which has shrunk from 2 full days to 1 3/4 in 4 months
  • I'd recommend this watch if you looking for something simple, that nice looking, and has great battery life.
  • The look of the watch ( round face ) and rotating bezzle is very nice
  • There are a lot of nice looking watch faces to download and that gives me a lot of variety to choose from.

Reviews around size (4.23 of 5)

  • S-Voice kicked back an error saying it couldn't complete the command
  • The watch itself is extremely comfortable and feels like a regular watch, the screen is a nice size but overall the watch is pretty slim
  • The band is comfortable to wear and the face of the watch is the perfect size.
  • It's the right size to look like a real watch rather than a smart device strapped to your wrist.
  • The face of the watch is the perfect size, super user friendly and elegant

Reviews around screen (4.21 of 5)

  • The screen is beautiful and I just love the satisfying click of the bezel
  • Received my Samsung watch as a Xmas gift from the hubby, really loved the product but, 8 months later the screen started chipping around the edges and then a hairline crack through the screen.
  • The rotary bezel works better than I expected and actually find myself using it more than just swiping the screen
  • Such a beautiful screen, that is OFF 99.99% of the time to save the miserably inadequate battery
  • – clunky at best, but it would work in a pinch).The screen resolution on the watch is excellent

Reviews around feature (4.01 of 5)

  • The available features on the watch are nice, but I wish I could customize them more.
  • The Gear was everything I wanted however, it was missing the main feature of receiving and making calls.
  • Samsung has some good features on the watch, but more can be made to make it great
  • My suggestion to you all is, if you must buy this watch, get it from Best Buy with a 2 year warranty and make them replace it every year when the battery starts to die as it will.
  • band keeps detaching from watch, MAJOR FAIL ON BAND DESIGN, watch features good, limited range from phone

Reviews around battery drain (2.15 of 5)

  • it doesnt die in one day but the battery drains to the point where i have to charge it just about every night so that it can last me the second day as well without dying halfway through the day.

Reviews around support (1.80 of 5)

  • You could end up with an unusable device and Samsung support will not assist with the unlock.
  • Samsung has no other support for it, so in otherwords a waste of 300dollars.
  • Their technical support gave me things to try but nothing worked
  • Great device, the platform just is lacking app support.
  • I have now decided that since Samsung has such an unreliable and irresponsible support system then I cannot trust them with my regular credit card information and will instead purchase a gift card to add to my Samsung account so that my exposure to their incompetence is limited.
