Do not purchase this new offering from Samsung. The firmware is woefully broken and Samsung support is AWOL. I'm considering going back to Amazfit or trying Garmin. Buyer beware.

100% true smartwatch 4 had useful function, but smartwatch 6 LTE less function more bells and whistles

OK let me start off by saying I have never owned a Samsung Smartwatch before.
I have owned and used a cheap Wyze Band for the past 5 years .
I like my watch 6 however I am charging it twice a day with power save mode on. I have nothing running continuously, but the basic functions and screen is not always on.
I charge it to 100% and then wear it to sleep and after a total of 8 hrs of sleep the battery is down to 50% or less. No wifi running to search etc.
I am extremely disappointed in this watch battery
Very disappointed in the battery life

like most smart devices -phone, watch, tablet- it takes a few days to learn your habits and routines.  give it a chance to do so.

Thank you.
Yes, I have had it for over a week now, and it has learned my patterns so to speak and only need to be charged with once a day now.
The longer I have it, the more I like it.

How is the galaxy watch 5

Love the design

I've had my Galaxy watch 6 for a couple of months.  First thing I noticed is that several of the health related functions are not available here in US -- Blood Pressure and AFiB alert.

Sure wish that there was an algorithm (like on other watches) that aggregated time in each of the different cardio zones into a single value you can use for comparative purposes

On balance, am very happy with it

did they FIX the wear OS standalone issue? because they market the WATCH AS STANDALONE... the LTE version ONLY CAN DO NUMBER SHARE IN NORTH AMERICA no carriers support it in anything but NUMBER_SHARE... 

Curious if this is fixed as it was marketed as STANDALONE and NUMBER_Share.  https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-Watch/Galaxy-watch-6-doesn-t-support-stand-alone/td-p/263...

Note:  Galaxy Fit models and Galaxy Watches running Wear OS cannot be used without a phone.

What do you mean by Stand Alone?  Do you mean a Stand Alone watch plan vs Number Share or do you mean working via LTE when phone isn't connected or on? 

I haven't had a Stand Alone watch plan since my Gear 3 so I can't answer that but my Watch has a number different than my phone and I have a Number Share VZW plan and the Watch works stand alone daily. 

I wonder if they really mean that WearOS watches need a phone to set them up initially?
