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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll start with the good. I like the look of the watch and the bands. Coming from the watch 7,I would say that this is an upgrade. I also like the new watch faces. They are quite fun. The health features have improved, offering more insight into my health. The bad. The battery is clearly worse in this years iteration than in previous years. I barely make it a day with the same settings in my watch 7 that got me at least a day and a half. I know it's still early but this is disappointing. I'm also experiencing some sound issues while connected to a call. Overall this is a bit disappointing and I'm awaiting a fix from Samsung. I choose to keep this watch because I already sent my trade in back to Samsung.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose to replace my Galaxy Watch Ultra with the new Galaxy Watch 9 because it promised improved sleep tracking. New BioActive sensors and Samsung Health app algorithms would supposedly provide better information about sleep stages. I've been tracking my sleep for over four years on four successive Galaxy watches and the Galaxy Ring. Since 2025 data gaps of up to one hour began to appear in the sleep timeliness. I had hoped the Watch 9 would correct that. But quite the opposite happened. The Watch 9 fails to track 70% to100% of my sleep. It's not due to how I wear the watch or how my watches power and permissions are set, the Samsung swears those are the only possible explanations. I consulted AI and it tells me a congenital heart arrhythmia is the likely culprit. It was always there but the new Watch 9 has gotten better at detecting it and that causes the sleep tracking to freeze up. I only wish Samsung would at least provide a small print warning that for a small percentage of users certain physiological traits might seriously impair the ability of Samsung Health to track sleep. Thankfully, my spouse is in the majority who are thoroughly pleased with all the features of their new Watch 9.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Watch 9 44mm is my first smartwatch. I chose it based on its features and size. It has a good balance of Health and smartwatch features. I liked the Ultra 2 battery life but it is too thick for everyday use. I may have purchased the Ultra 2 if I was still doing the level of outside activities I did in my 20s. While I am still getting used to having a smartwatch, I am using many of the health features and like being able to read text without taking my phone out of my pocket. I have the Bluetooth version. I charge it for about a half hour before I got to bed and for a half hour when I wake up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am completely obsessed with my new Samsung Watch 9! 😍⌚️ First, the fit is AMAZING. It's so comfortable and lightweight that after a little while, I honestly forget I'm even wearing it—which is exactly what I want in a smartwatch. One of my absolute favorite features is being able to customize the watch face with my own photos. 💕 I love being able to make my watch feel completely mine instead of being stuck with a handful of generic designs. But Samsung REALLY nailed the new software and glass design. Swiping through the screens is unbelievably smooth—seriously, it feels like BUTTER. 😂 Everything feels fast, fluid, responsive and incredibly polished. The combination of the gorgeous display, updated software, smooth navigation, customization and ridiculously comfortable fit makes this easily one of my favorite Samsung upgrades. If you love customizing your tech and want a smartwatch that looks beautiful, feels fantastic on your wrist and is just plain FUN to use—this one is a winner. Samsung absolutely knocked it out of the park with this watch. Freaking AMAZING! 💖⌚️✨

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superb quality you expect from Samsung. Extremely light weight, and very comfortable to wear all day long. The only complain that I have, is that currently, I have the OnePlus 15 phone and a lot of the features available only to Galaxy phones, are not available to me right now. I truly wish I could find an app that can connect some of the features I'm missing right now. Nonetheless, I truly believe these are the best Watches in the market 👍🏻

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was needing a new watch and thankfully I chose the Galaxy Watch 9. It has amazing features that I use on the daily like the Gemini assistant for when I don't feel like taking my phone out my pocket. It is also very lightweight and sleek, sometimes I barely notice that it is there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This isn't my first Samsung Watch I've had so many. I choose to upgrade my Samsung Classic6 to the Samsung Galaxy Watch9 the features are amazing. The sound and notifications are much louder... In my profession that's a must. I've just gotten it so I'm finding many features I never had before. I'm glad I choose this watch.

[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

[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.
