[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5pro to the Galaxy Watch 9 44mm. I chose to stick with Samsung due to the ruggedness, reliability, comfort and features. The main features I use are the heart health, exercise tracking and sleep monitoring. I've recently been diagnosed with AFIB, so keeping tabs on my heart health was a big reason for upgrading to the Galaxy 9. I also have sleep apnea, so the sleep tracking along with blood oxygen monitoring is a great feature. I can share information with my pulmonary doctor. I've also recently eased back into exercising after 3 back surgeries. So, being able to log the information gathered by the watch makes it easier to track my progress. I also went with the LTE model this time. I have no feedback to offer on that feature at this time. However, I do think certain things I do and not having to carry my phone will be something I can get used to. I'll be pairing my Galaxy Buds Pro3 ear buds for calls and music. I went with the fabric band this time. It is very comfortable, and the fit is superb. I can't even really tell I'm wearing the watch its so comfortable. I did order a silicon band for occasions when it's necessary for water sweat proof activities. All in all, I'm pleased with my watch. It was a worthy upgrade. If your running an older version, I'd highly recommend the upgrade. If your running a different brand android watch and looking to switch, I'd say just do it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this watch because I wanted the latest sensors and processing power to use it for fitness and health tracking. Overall, it works great. It's light and bright. My only issue is it always shows a gap during sleep tracking at night. Hopefully that can be fixed with a software update.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic watch after only 6 days of use I chose to get one for my mom and she would love it. I would buy this watch and a heartbeat again it is fantastic and I couldn't recommend it anymore.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded my Watch 7 for the Watch 9. I like the look of the watch. The battery life has definitely improved. I like the faster charging but the lack of ability to order additional chargers has me a bit frustrated. Other than that; I am pleased with the watch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the Galaxy Watch 4 and was going to get the Galaxy Watch 8 in May, but I chose to wait until the Galaxy Watch 9 came out. I can say that it was worth the wait. This watch is amazing, lightweight, and comfortable. I used to never wear my watch to sleep, but now I do because I barely notice it's on my wrist. Overall, this watch is amazing, worth the price, and lightweight. I'm very happy with my purchase and will always be a Samsung fan.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great design, but battery life falls short ​The design is excellent—it's lightweight, highly functional, and has been working flawlessly to help me track key health metrics. ​The only real downside is the battery life. Without turning on Power Saving mode, it can't last a full day on a single charge, requiring a 70-minute recharge mid-day. Charging also feels a bit slower compared to my previous device. ​I hope a future software update improves the battery performance. Overall, it's still an incredible watch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade my Galaxy Watch Seven to the 9, even though the Seven is still working great. But I wanted a faster processor,a better display, and allthe other improvements that come with it. a new model period still learning it. But so far, it seems faster, brighter, better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to upgrade my Watch 6 to a Watch 9 because I was experiencing a short battery life with my old watch and it would constantly disconnect from my phone despite being right next to it. I've only ever owned Samsung Smart watches. I was frustrated to discover upon receiving the watch that 1) the old watch chargers aren't compatible. 2) the old watch straps aren't compatible. I've since had to purchase an adapter so I can use all of the other types of watch straps I've purchased over the years for my past watches. I've worn the 9 for a few days now. I'm not super impressed with battery life. I'm not sure the extra silver area around the watch face is necessary and miss just the round size/shape of the 6. It has done a better job of staying connected to my phone. The set up process was frustrating and had to restart it several times. I like the watch strap that I got with it (misty sport band) and I like the ability to take my blood pressure with the watch. The different watch face options are nice. If Samsung Wallet is installed, you must have a pin set on the watch, which is a nice safety feature but not something I'm going to use. TBD if I end up liking this better than I did with the 6 when it came out. I know the new features are supposed to be great but I hesitate to introduce AI and all that it would have access to so I am not utilizing those functions as of now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this watch because I loved my older Galaxy watch. This one has not disappointed. The features are great. It has a very sleek design. I bought an extra band in a different color. I wear the black band to work for a very professional look and I wear the Misty blue when I am out and about. The blue is so cute and sporty. Love everything about this watch!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this watch because it helps me stay connected to applications when I can't be on my phone. I love how versatile it is, especially when sweating or swimming and can still wear it. Would happily continue using Samsung watches for connection as well as the Health data it provides.
