I have the smaller classic but as mentioned in the list of issues above plus others, I find it odd that the watch can be worn on either hand but no one in design gave thought to how that might work for those who wear the watch on the right arm and the minute indicators being upside down that painted on the rehaut.

I do like the smaller size and the stainless steel or whatever the material is of the classic but I am disappointed in the life of the battery so far. I'd get 2 days out of the 5Pro, yeah I know bigger battery but 40% in 6 or 7 hours is not really good.

The 6 classic LTE looks sharp but I did return if tor the battery life and kept my pro. Classic with data and wifi (auto) was getting 30 hours, the pro sees nearly double that. My next biggest reason for returning was the fact the activity still cannot accurately track my laps in the pool. I was really hoping Samsung would fix this, but they haven't so I am off to better, more epic things.

For what it's worth. I've had some websites refuse to accept parenthesis and or apostrophes. You may remove those and see if it works.

I'm going to agree with everything everyone has written about not being able to leave ANY reviews. No matter how much I edit the review I get a "fail" response.

If you guys want to play the dance of "we want your honest feedback" while purposely putting up a site that doesn't allow any reviews so you can load it up with shills (or AIs) who are writing sham reviews, that's up to you, maybe it makes you feel better, but honestly, what's the point?

We all know what's going on.

I see a lot of complaints here and I am sure they are justified. But readers may get the impression that the Galaxy 6 watch is no good. 

I pre-ordered my watch from Samsung and it arrived two days early. Never having a Galaxy watch before, I went on YouTube to help me with initial settings and tweeks. That saved a lot of time and heartache.

Within a week the watch settled in. Now, a month later after 24 hours of wear I still have 30% battery. We all would love longer battery life but I can live with this. The overall accuracy of health and activity monitors is pretty impressive. Sure there are a few hiccups but I think we all need to understand that this is not a true professional medical device. It is a help but not a substitute for professional medical monitoring.

So Samsung, kudos to you and thank you.

I'm glad for you that you have 30% left. My watch last about 18 hrs with no exercise or activities and I have had my watch for a month now. I like to watch just not a fan of the batter. The GW4 I traded in had a better battery life.

The sleep tracking on many W6C's is way off. We get single-digit deep sleep numbers and bizarre chunks of awake time that never happened, not to mention a lot of Sleep Mode weirdness. It's great that yours seems to be functioning somewhat normally, but that doesn't seem to be particularly common.

Interesting take on others complaints. Perhaps never having a watch before puts you a bit on the outside of what ppl are experiencing. Devices arriving early is hardly unheard of during samsung pre-order sales. Also seems unlikely ppl are experiencing medical misunderstandings. For example doubt ppl are getting readings suggesting they have a condition only to visit a medical professional and find out otherwise then complain to Samsung for misleading them with their device inaccuracies. The overall tone of many complaints is that Samsung advertised improvements on a new device that aren't matching previous generations. They can't tell us the sensors, battery and tracking are improved from our older devices and think customers won't notice when their are bugs or downgrades in performance.
