Great Watch but also great disappointment - SHM

Samsung Health Monitor - BP and ECG only works with Samsung Phone, change that, and I BELIEVE you will own the Digital Watch Arena under Android.

Great functionality and options

Allie . 1 day ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Comfortable watch with great functionality and just what I was looking for. The display is flexible, based on your needs and has numerous options. Has fabulous fitness options and does great EKG readout you can send to your MD. Easy connectivity with your phone and gives you everything you need in a smartwatch. Battery needs charging more often than Iike but I turn power saver off. Great watch for the price!

We're happy to hear that you're overall pleased with the purchase of your device.

Let us know if you would like any further assistance after reviewing the resources shared by reaching out to Samsung Support.

Very Pleased With Galaxy 8 Classic

Brian K . 4 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I have enjoyed using my Galaxy 8 Classic for the last few weeks. Good battery life. Good tracking. Easy setup and integration (disclosure, this is paired with a Galaxy Note 20, so both in the Samsung ecosystem!). Like the metrics, sleeping score, snoring detection, heart rate, etc. This is good for understanding body consistency, etc.

Battery lasts a long time, holds while tracking and playing music on my runs, and very accurately measures steps. Other biological tracking works really well. Great upgrade from my old Watch3!

Lots to like, but dumb design errors.

Walkabout Scotty . 8 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This it my 3rd Galaxy Watch Lots to like, but has some bizarre design misses: 1) Screen is smaller. 2) They crippled the watch's Find My Phone function by adding too much friction. I used it all the time, but now, instead of quickly tapping the find icon, then FIND, now we need to go through several steps to get to it. 3) I want a PIN to ONLY to enable Samsung Pay, not to use the watch -- the original Tizen GW only required PIN for Pay. The squircle shape is not a problem all; it looks great!

Is the blood preasure readings accurate?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 month

Measurements provide valuable insights into trends but lack medical precision. Needs to be calibrated regularly (approximately every 30 days) using a standard cuff to ensure reasonable accuracy. Serves more as an indicator of variations rather than a substitute for clinical equipment.
