Samsung don’t admit any issues, just like their fire breathing washing machines and Note 7 blowing up phones. I purchased the watch cause it looks great and for fitness and sleep tracking in Australasia cost of watch is $649, you would think for that sort of money it would outperform a fit bit blaze that costs $200. There are serious issues with watch in relation to Heart rate, Sleep, Step Count, Reps, exercises reps registering using using exercise apps built in to watch. Sorry Samsung if these items worked I would be so in love with this product but I HATE it, I hate I have had to exchange 3 times , i hate that such a beautiful watch doesn’t do what it is advertised to do. I HATE SAMSUNG DOESN’T”T ACKNOWLEDGE PRODUCT FAULTS OR DO ANYTHING TO FIX

The GOOD
The watch looks amazing feels amazing, the bluetooth notifications awesome
The bad
-Heart rate sensor sucks doesn’t work apparently i was having a heart attack with 205BPM but the phone sensor has me clocked at 60 BPM my resting heart rate is 55 to 60 BPM
-Step count inaccurate approx 25% to 30% less than other wearables such as fit bit
-Stair count wrong and doesn’t register
– Sleep app doesn’t register deep sleep cycle cause can’t get consistent heart rate reading even though I have set to monitor always ( i have reset, exchanged watches 3 times and no getting refund)

If you are buying a watch for connectivity I swear by my LG watch Urbane its classy and does everything the Samsung does minus the fitness aspect.

If you want an all round watch well it was supposed this one but it DOESN’T”T WORK, just google SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH ISSUES you will see this is WORLDWIDE!!.

I am getting refund even though I love the look and feel of watch but it just doesn’t work as advertised and SAMSUNG ARE ALL Shhhh (Quiet) ABOUT IT Until it does something like blow up they wont acknowledge the watch is not functioning properly. SAVE YOUR MONEY and wait for SAMSUNG TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER with the Galaxy watch and maybe purchase after all bugs are fixed. I am going back to my trust Fitbit with its accurate heart rate, step count sleep metrics and the trade off is i have to pick up my phone for emails GET YOUR $H?T together SAMSUNG and I will consider buying your watch again.

You have been warned if you are buying for fitness application it doesn’t work google it for yourself and save yourself the headache
