[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to replace my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 with a Watch 9 because I've always known Samsung as being a leader in progress and innovation. Surely, two years was enough to see a marked improvement over my old watch. I was wrong. The only truly notable difference between the 7 and the 9 is the bezel. It's not even a nice difference. It can be distracting under certain lighting conditions, and I fish for the home button more now that it's not rounding the edge. Still, I think I'll grow used to it. Otherwise, everything is pretty much the same. Compare the specs and there's not much daylight between the two watches. The display feels slightly more crisp, but it's also new. It feels slightly more reactive, I suppose. Maybe it is quicker for AI tasks, but I don't use the AI features... One noted downgrade is actually the battery. It's slightly larger, yet I find the battery life to be slightly worse. It's had enough time to "settle" so I think this is a feature. In short: I paid to replace my watch with a slightly less efficient watch wearing a tutu. Unless your watch is three years old or older, I would wait another year to upgrade. Nothing to see here.

I upgraded from the watch 7 to the watch 9. My first issue came from the discovery that none of my charging bases are compatible with the watch 9. Your only option is the puck it came with. I've also had issues with it syncing with my peloton. My watch 7 worked just fine and since the upgrade the heart rate has been very glitch on my peloton. I've tired numerous things to fix it and nothing has worked. It's borderline unstable with peloton, you have to just use the samsung bike workout. Finally, the biggest frustration is the band sizing has changed. I had a s/m for my last watch so that's what I ordered for the new one. It's incredibly small. I reached out to customer service 3 times and finally the agreed to give me a discount on a larger band that I agreed on. We'll its been a week and no promo. I'm just going to order a replacement band on Amazon for $7 because o refuse to pay $57. That is incredibly expensive. I honestly wish I still had my watch 7 and am incredibly disappointed with my experience with the 9 thus far.

I have difficult sleep patterns and I'm trying to correct them through various methods of relaxation and time management however my previous watch had a timeline along the Sleep score and I could tell how many minutes I was awake during the night and at what time this helped me tremendously but this watch does not provide that so I'm left knowing how many minutes during the night I was awake but I can't clearly tell when please put a timeline on the Sleep score graph

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Galaxy watch 9 because of the features it offers. Water resistant plus the health options. It was very easy to set up and change watch face features. It fits very well with my life style. The only feature I had a problem with was the band. It was not big enough for my wrist and the silicone was very uncomfortable. Easy fix tho...I just ordered new ones and they made it great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading my wearable has been the best decision. I am happy that I chose to upgrade to the Galaxy Watch 9. The text is crisper with the larger screen. I love the battery life. The watch seems so much smoother to use. I am very pleased that I chose to upgrade my watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had Fitbit watches for a long time. I also had the Samsung Watch circa 2014. The features are very useful. As a health provider, I appreciate the upgrade on the health Metrics. The day-to-day use tips make the watch easy to use. I'm elated about my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't worn a watch for 20 years. Then a couple of weeks ago I decided to try a smart watch. I chose Galaxy 9. I absolutely love it. I'm still learning all of the great things it can do. One of my favorite things so far is monitoring my sleep and energy and all that entails. I love that I can add or remove to make the watch for want i like with the face of the watch and the apps.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Picked up watch 8/23. It's been almost 2 months. 3rd week in, battery dies unexpectedly. I charge it. I reduce apps. Turn off heart rate monitor to monitor every 10 minutes. Turn off location/wifi/brightness. Presently, I wear watch to bed and have to charge it before bed-usually topped of at 95%- sleep mode on. When I wake, battery is down to 70%. I have to charge it before I leave for work (13 hrs shift). It'll go into battery save mode last hour of work. I cannot use this watch and do not respect the company bc I tried to call for support and it told me to eliminate apps and modes that steal from the battery. I literally charge it TWICE a day in order to use it and I can only use it sparingly. I traded up my 8 for the 9 and it was the worst decision. Do not buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Galaxy Watch owner since the beginning. I chose Galaxy because I love Samsung and the android interface. I recently had the Watch 7, but was ready for an upgrade. The battery life is fantastic, the way the Watch studies sleep, HR and tracks exercise is spot on. I also love the Watch band attachment. So easy to click on! I purchased the LTE version to get notifications while my phone is away. Highly recommend
