SAMSUNG SM-R805UZSAXAR Galaxy Watch Smartwatch 46mm Stainless Steel LTE GSM (Unlocked), Phone, Silver (Renewed)

Better than I imagined, love this watch beat one I've ever had!!!

This purchase has been a bit of a journey, in part due to shipping, and in part due to a faulty accessory. I'll start with the watch itself as it is in great condition and work my way down.The watch was delivered with a 7% battery, which I was able to charge with some finagling, which I'll cover a little later. The setup process was a bit involved, but not bad, and the watch is now synced nicely with my Galaxy Note 10+.The features do not disappoint! Having come from a cheap smart watch, my expectations weren't too high. The step count is incredibly accurate, the sensors can tell when I'm working out! (The first time I had to jog after my 6 year old when he took off down the street, the watch gave me encouragement to keep working out.)The number of apps available is astounding! I suppose that's to be expected from a big name like Samsung, but boy, do they ever work well! I never thought I would enjoy reading texts or e-mails on such a small screen, but replying is about as tedious as one might expect.The shipping was less than ideal, but that was due to poor weather globally. Can't fault them for that! When the option for a refund came up, I sprang for it, which Amazon facilitated quickly. The watch was supposed to come on Valentine's Day, but didn't come until 2/22. Upon its arrival, I contacted Amazon to repay for it as I don't like to take advantage of people, even if they are large corporations.As for the charger, what was included in the box definitely wasn't the charger meant for this watch, which the watch reminds me of every time I put it on the included charger. Fortunately for me, my phone has power sharing, which works like a charm. Power sharing is NOT an ideal nor permanent solution, so I reached out to Amazon once again. Upon explaining my dilemma, they sprang to action by offering a replacement for me to buy, and they would offer an Amazon credit equal to its value. I know some wouldn't go for this solution as they prefer cold hard cash, but as often as I frequent my Amazon cart, it was an ideal solution for me. The option they suggested is an updated version of the charger, so I'm getting something better for essentially nothing.All in all, the service and communication was great, the product works very well and is comfortable on my wrist. I'd certainly recommend anyone with the patience to deal with a renewed item to give it a try!Sure, there were a few hiccups, but the contact and service were exemplary, which is why I gave it full marks.

Too bulky

For the money I spent on this refurbished watch ($70) compared to a brand new one ($350+) I am completely happy with my purchase. The watch had some minor scratches on the bezel which you have to pay attention to in order to actually see and comprehend but the watch itself looked just as new as if it came straight from Samsung itself. I was able to easily connect it to my Galaxy Note 20 and even able to use some after market ear buds that I bought here on Amazon all at the same time. Steps is obviously controlled by arm movement so its not super accurate but it gives you a reading you can at least work off of. The movement reminders and sleep tracking are a cool feature and motivate you to at least get out of your chair and walk around the office. All in all a very good buy and would recommend to all Android users (if compatible with your phone).

This was the 3rd samsung smartwatch I ordered from Amazon. All 3 had charging issues. I sent the first one back it got hot and shut down when charging. So I ordered a 2nd watch, this one was a more expensive model but it wouldn't charge at all. The charger actually repelled the watch. I called Amazon and they sent a replacement watch immediately. But this watch would not charge at all either. I read a bunch of reviews about the watch and saw a lot of them were about charging issues. One review was exactly like my problem and he found a solution by ordering an oem charger that fixed his charging problem. So I searched online for the factory charger for this watch. I found one on ebay and ordered it. It charged both of the watches that would not charge at all to 100% with the oem charger I bought off ebay. But when the watch was charged up i checked the os on the watch it was Tizen the seller said it was android wear watch os. I can't use Tizen os so I had to return the watch. So if you order one of these watches and it won't charge order you a factory charger and it will charge fine. The after market chargers they send are not able to charge these watches they are incorrect chargers for these watches. You need to throw the after market charger in the trash as soon as you open the box and order an oem charger. Then the watch will charge fine. All in all after I got the watch charged it worked really well except for the wrong os. So I hope this review helps someone if they have a charging issue.
