SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch (46mm) Heart Rate Monitor, Silver (Bluetooth) US Version (Renewed)

I bought this renewed item and have been very happy since. I have had no issues with the watch, and the watch looked like new. I was not totally sure as to how I might use the functions of the watch. Over time I have found that I like getting the notifications on my watch, phone calls, reminders, and calendar notifications, etc. . I use the stop watch and timer operations in the kitchen, or for other odds and ends. I can roam freely thru my house, without having my phone on me, and have my watch immediately let me know what's up. When I am at the end of my house, I do not have to RUN to catch a phone call, before it switches to voice mail. I answer my phone on my watch, and talk on my watch. The sound is clear and loud enough, and the people on the other end hear me o.k. Yep, LOVE this watch!One important thing though, if you want the timer & reminder apps, you went need to get them through the galaxy store, as they do not come with the watch. Some people have not seen that they can get other apps from the galaxy store, with the feature one being the timer app, and just thought the watch does not have it. Well, there are many other apps available through the store, but you just have to download them to the watch.UPDATE: Sept., 28, 2021Well, got a good one for you here! Do you want to know how OUTSTANDING this watch is against water/hard treatment? Well, get this. I found that I had accidentally WASHED my watch in my washing machine. It went through all of the cycles! I found in in the bottom of my tub, when I took all clothes out. I let it sit for two days, to give any water inside time to dry, and just turned it on. IT WORKS FINE!! Wow!!

I bought this renewed from Amazon. I was genuinely impressed by the packaging it came in, every accessory was included and the watch looked like it was never used. Currently, I am getting about 3 days of battery with some minor tweaking of the settings that I found on YouTube and others. The first few days I played with it but now I wear it as a watch mostly because I am not a fitness guru or jogging enthusiast. I do make and receive a few phone calls on it via Bluetooth but I keep the Wi-Fi off for battery savings. I love getting my text/email/etc notifications on my watch thus keeping my phone out of my hands while I drive. I also get daily briefings, however I generally don't read them because it is pretty small text and I am not 20 years old anymore. Twice I got a notice on my watch saying something about ambient air pressure dropping and be prepared for inclement weather, the first time it happened it started raining in about 10-15 minutes, the second time it happened the tornado siren starting blowing about 25 minutes later! Luckily it was a false alarm, there was no tornado sighted and the hot spot was about 30 minutes away from me. DO NOT take this review as a tornado predictor! But the fact that there is a built in barometer is really cool, and a built in altimeter is useful if you are a mountain hiker I suppose, which I am NOT. I got way more than I paid for or wanted but I would certainly recommend it to anyone just wanting a very nice looking watch, let alone all the other cool things it is capable of doing. My biggest concern was water. I burned up three Samsung Gear S3 because of sweat or washing my hands and I returned them to AT&T who sold them to me, they took them under protest but they all died in less than 3 weeks. I have worn this particular watch in the shower, in the pool, in the hot tub and no defects so far. If you are looking for a beautiful watch that works great, I recommend it very much!

Renewed? Mine is like brand new and came with 2 bands. Not so much as a scratch.I have several watches including an ancient Rolex Submariner. I doubt that any of them will ever see daylight again.This thing is incredible. I walk quite a bit. The watch has about 1.5gb of music storage and connects flawlessly to Sony earbuds. Now I can leave my phone at home and still enjoy music. Plus I expect that my gym will reopen soon..There are numerous watch faces built in and others are available at the Samsung store (I think for free). Unlike some other smartwatches this has many features that work independently of the phone it is connected to. It is loaded with goodies and a complete manual (PDF) is available at the Samsung website. I definitely recommend downloading the manual to take full advantage of the device.All of the faces are very easy to read. The sports face I am using (today - it's fun to change from time to time) shows time, date, heart rate, battery charge and two step counters. Other faces also show the day of week.There is some textual information provided by apps and notices. While it is small print it is surprisingly easy to read due to the quality of the display. I did have some trouble entering my wifi password as my finger doesn't always tap the intended target. (I am 72 and have a tremor.)I am using the setting that keeps the watch displayed at all times (with dim lighting). When my wrist is tilted to read the screen the face is fully lit. Battery life is fair. I am charging every other day. The charger, by the way, is magnetic. No plugs to fool with.If there is a downside it is the complexity. There are two buttons, bezel turns, swipes and touches that do various things. It is a learning process. A smartphone is much easier to use just by virtue of the difference in screen size. However, you can activate voice commands. It functions like Google Assistant or Alexis.All in all, most people will really love this watch. Presumably people who hate techie things won't buy it in the first place. As always, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.
