Awesome
Couldn't be happier with this watch. New face everyday feels like a new watch. The voice call quality is excellent. Battery life has been short...but I expect that to improve once the novelty factor wears off

It's alright...
Battery doesn't last very long so you have to choose whether you want it for during the day or to monitor your sleep at night....can't really do both. Other than that it's great. Awesome sound quality and call connections...sometimes it clearer than taking a call on my note 9!

Average watch
I bought mine in nov 2018. Had it for 9 months, very good at the start, loved it. But then slowly dropped off, memory getting low, not that i downloaded apps to it, cailbre was off, randomly start talking to me, screen didnt turn on or flash when i wanted it to. Wore it swimming twice then it started to get worse. Samsung pay didnt work, stop syncing to my phone. Was becoming a nightmare. Sound started to distort. Decided to get rid of it. Wasnt worth what i paid for it $500

Excellent Watch
Design - This watch is stunning to look at and very easy to use. The exterior is extremely easy to scuff / scratch which isn’t the greatest considering it is a watch. The button are very easy to use and the turn dial glides with ease. However I feel this watch could have been a little more compact consider how thin the Apple Watch is compared to this.
Battery - This is one thing I am quite disappointed with, I am only able to get one full day out of my watch especially if it is a busy day with calls or messages. I have turned all notification ...Read more
features off to try and help battery life but it hasn’t helped it much. I have not yet contacted Samsung with this issue as it seems like a very very common issue ( I will contact them soon and see what their response is ) Connectivity - This has been seem less with 4g and Bluetooth. I have had no connection issues at all. I have excellent service with messages and calls, no drop out nor has it been impacted indoor, in saying that I do live central to my town. Setup - This blew me away with how simple the setup was, my two year old could if done it. Inside Box - The watch comes with the charging dock, watch, two length wrist bands and instructions.Purchased in March 2021 at Telstra.

A smart watch for the non-Apple people
I've had mine for around 10 months or so. My primary reason for a smart watch such as the Galaxy Watch was for fitness tracking. Not so much that it would be religiously tracking what I did and how fast and how often, but to motivate me to be healthier. Basically I enjoy walking/running and swimming so the built-in fitness tracking functions, plus the water-proof ability meant this was perfect for me. (Note: waterproof in fresh water only but this is typical of most smart watches that state they are waterproof)
I have the watch paired to a ...Read more
Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and from reviews I believe the watch works best with Galaxy Phones. Although it will work with an iPhone, some of the functionality (eg replying to text) is limited; but the if you have an iPhone you'd be getting an iWatch! In terms of accuracy for step counts, distance, heart beat etc, it seems pretty accurate. I used to have a Microsoft Band 2 and comparing both they are much the same. The Galaxy Watch also has an auto-workout detection. Basically if you forget to start an activity on the watch, it will start it for you once it detects you've been doing it for approx. 10 mins. So I can go for a walk or run, and if I forget to start it, the watch will track it for me. I swim often, and the watch will count laps for me as well. It's pretty accurate too. The only it has mis-counted laps is if I've stopped mid-lap (to clear goggles of water!) You can make and receive calls from the watch via a Bluetooth connection to your phone. It's actually come in handy a few times when my phone was the other side of the room; as I could answer on my watch instead.Purchased in September 2021 at Samsung Online store for $549.00.

Fantastic watch
Great watch, have been looking for a watch for some time and obviously tried some ( wish ) watches that failed. So i bit the bullet and went for the Samsung. Very impressed. Connected via bluetooth to my phone i can view emails, phone calls and text messages. The average time before charge is 3 days ( depending on how long you use it). From Samsung health, tracking your every step to sleep tracker the Samsung watch has not disappointed. I have purchased a SS band as i do find i am gettting a little rash from the silicon band but thats the only problem i find :)

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!
I've worn it for 12 hours and the battery reads 15%, and I haven't even made a call or sent a text message. I regret buying, it's virtually useless as it spends more time on the charging dock than on my wrist. I am SOOOO disappointed!!!!

Battery life is rubbish as well as the resolution from Samsung VOC
My husband gave this to me as a birthday present. The first 2 weeks I had the watch, it was perfect. Enter the 3rd week, I was at work, it drained my battery within 3.5 hours of use at work. And I noticed that it keeps on vibrating intermittently (atleast twice an hour) to let me know that the battery life is draining then the watch itself felt hot hence I removed it. The following week (by this time, I had the watch for 30 days), sent it to Samsung pop up booth at Fountain Gate. They sent it for repair and after 4 working days I was contacted...Read more
and told that they didn't find anything wrong with the watch itself. Reluctantly I took the watch back on the 10/07/19. The following day, darined the battery within 6 hours and the gadget felt hot again when it was down to 15% battery life and I had to enable the power saving mode. The 2nd day, battery life only lasted tops 5 hours. I also noticed that from 6:35 am with 100% battery life, by 8:10 am, the battery was down to 82% . Shocking, I know. So much for there's nothing wrong with my watch at all. 2 days after I got it back, it was sent back again for repair. This time the staff has escalated it to their ??VOC. The watch was re sent back to Samsung pop up booth on the 12/07 in the evening. I received a phone call from their Sydney office today 17/07, again, as per their words, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE BATTERY after their intensive testing . And the resolution I have is to take their piece of rubbish back and they will give me some form of a log in record so that if it did the same crap again, I should call their tech team and troubleshoot the junk myself!!! I have turned off notifications from apps, no 3rd party apps was downloaded on my watch. Whatever apps they have installed was the one I have there. I don't even use the watch to call as my phone always stays in my locker at work and bluetooth doesn't allow me to receive anything if the 2 gadgets ( watch and phone are over certain meters apart). Even their representative from their Samsung booth told me that I do not have any apps in the background that could drain my battery that fast! I am so disappointed. I have not received the gadget back yet but the guy from their booth told me he will run some test when he gets it back hopefully tomorrow. I will keep you up to date as to how will I go with this saga. I don't want any refund, I want the product just not the same watch because I think it is a dud piece of watch. It is 6 weeks old, not like I had it for a year!!!Purchased in May 2021.

I sent their technical team regarding quick battery drain (mind you, it was sent to their technical team I believe on 5/8 or earlier) and on the 7/8 I received a letter from their VOC that since they found no defect on the watch, under Australia consumer law and as per their policy, I am not entitled a replacement. On 16/8, Richard from Samsung called me back and informed me that they (FINALLY) will replace the product with a new one. No explanation on how they changed their mind. By this time, to be honest I just didn't care. I just did not want to deal with them so just surprised that they decided to replace the dodgy product. I have received the replacement watch on the 20/08 (and I have retracted my ACCC complaint against them) and so far the watch is working fine. I have it now for 2 weeks so hopefully it does not have the same problem when I enter the 3rd week of using it. I went back to Samsung studio at Fountain Gate and thank Damon massively as he was the only person that listened to me and treated me with respect. As to their customer survey, I gave them a very negative feedback. Their customer service person called me yesterday and I have voiced out my absolute frustration and disgust as to how Samsung has handled my case. Eventhough I am using the Samsung Galaxy Watch now, if any of you are thinking of buying it, I highly discouraged you. As I have read a lot of bad reviews about its poor battery make. And God forbid that you have an issue with it, you will be treated poorly by Samsung managers. This is the last product I will have with Samsung...NEVER AGAIN!!!Similar opinion?

Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm Cellular
So after been a Apple nut for 10 plus years, i made the change to Samsung 2 weeks ago first the phone and now the watch . The Samsung galaxy watch looks like a Watch its round like watches should be, it works fantastic. The Watch face and app store has so much to offer, there are 1000 or more watch faces to use and customice to whatever you desire. It works flawless, everything is so easy to use .
Thank you Samsung for making such a great timepiece

Brilliant idea, just one annoying downside, and a few small issues.
Purchased in April 2022 so I could drive a fast boat and not have to lug my mobile phone along. Although it is legal to handle your mobile while steering a boat, it is not a good look.
Cost $499 directly from a Samsung kiosk in Sydney.
Bought several other wristbands online to use with it.
Ongoing cost is just $5 a month to Telstra to make it a slave of my Samsung S8 mobile.( It is not "tethered" to my mobile unless it is close by, but operates as a separate phone on my wrist when they are far apart.)
There are no additional voice or data costs as it using my mobile phone account for stuff i would normally use my mobile phone for.
The best feature: perfect mobile phone on my wrist, without even having my mobile phone anywhere nearby.

Extremely Good, but Just Falls Short of Being Excellent
Instead of writing a review talking about the tech specs (which you can all easily find elsewhere), I shall try to give an overview of my experience in wearing the watch almost every day for the past 5 months. Also, just as a side note for a bit of context which may be referred to, my smartwatch before this was the Pebble Time.
Design/Interface:
One of the key reasons I bought the watch was due to the fact that it looked like a watch, and that I could realistically wear it in professional settings (something that was unfortunately not possib...Read more
le with my Pebble). On the wrist, assuming you get the size which best matches yours, the watch sits nicely and does not instantly look like a ‘gadget’. I have the watchface set to the always-on mode, which helps with this as well and is something I’d recommend as it does look admittedly odd if you leave it off since there is just a blank black screen visible until you lift your wrist. In my opinion, this aesthetic isn’t worth the extra day of battery life you may net. In terms of its general usability, the Galaxy Watch is extremely intuitive to use and I’ve yet to find myself mistakenly pressing the wrong button or selecting the wrong option. You may have heard about its rotating bezel, and its safe for me to say it lives up to the hype. One recommendation I would make though if you intend to wear the watch in professional environments is to buy a different strap, as the included silicon one feels a bit too ‘sporty’. I should note that it is extremely easy to change straps as the watch uses standard quick release pins so you shouldn’t be too worried about having issues there. Battery:Purchased in December 2021.

The whole family is happy
I bought 4 watches for the whole family and they are extremely happy with this watch. I was lucky to get it at discounted price before the release.
It is nice little gadget which makes our life easier. Phone and message option is particularly very helpful.
Would definitely recommend this product.

Limited apps due to Tizen OS
This is a very good smartwatch. The screen is great, as you'd expect from samsung, it's not overly bulky, and the rotating bezel is a pleasure for navigating with. I haven't installed many additional apps, as they are pretty much useless to me, and haven't gotten much use from the cellular aspect, as I do not pay for the service needed through a telco. If you're a user who is always in range of your phone, then getting the cellular version is a waste of money. Other than this, the watch is a treat. It vibrates when you become out of range with your phone; which has saved me from misplacing / leaving my phone behind a few times.

Really disappointed
This watch is a waste of time. I feel I have been misled into buying this watch by its "Galaxy" name. My galaxy 9 plus runs on android but this watch instead runs on some unknown tizen platform that has very little support with apps and functionality. No whatsapp, no google maps, no android, plus a whole lot of other apps that i have on my phone are not stored. Paid $650 for something I feel should be worth closer to $100 from ebay.
