Perfect Combination with Galaxy S23 Ultra
Though I haven't really had this watch long enough to be giving too much of an review, I decided that I am still going to review it and edit as needed because I am already in love with this watch. First things first, for those that are having trouble downloading the Samsung health monitor app for this watch, just click on the Samsung health monitor app icon inside of the watch and then check your phone to follow up on the download from there. I am hearing a lot of people talking about the blood pressure sensor with this watch, so far I haven't found that yet as I am still going through the watch and getting to know it at the same time, if by chance I do find it and it doesn't work like I'm hearing it doesn't in the United States, I'm not going to worry too much because as long as the option is there, there's hope through updates, something you will need to do time you get this watch through the Galaxy Wearable app. I will still continue to use my Galaxy Watch 4 42mm for work, and being though this watch is bigger and more elegant, it's going to be the one that I wear on my off days to have something decent to wear when I go out to a nice place. I was having a extremely hard time getting this gem paired with my Galaxy S23 Ultra, but after awhile I noticed that this was due to fault of my own for not realizing at the time that I had to disable my ad blocker/VPN. After this was done everything went smooth from there, so do keep this in mind when setting up this watch. I am hearing other say that this watch will not work with other phone brands, people.... it's a Samsung watch, it was made and meant to be paired with Samsung products particularly Samsung Galaxy phones. This is only normal for anything, whereas you wouldn't pair this watch with a iPhone nor would you pair a Apple Watch with a Samsung Galaxy phone. They were meant to be matched up with their own brands. At last, at last..... a product that doesn't say "Made in China", this watch should last for years people. It has far more features than my Galaxy watch 4 with the rotating bezel which is cool to have but not all that, because it feels that one day, it's going to play out. With this gem, I don't have to worry about that because there is no rotating bezel. The only thing that I don't like so far is that Samsung replaced their own store with Play Store making it hard, if not impossible to get my purchased watch faces downloaded to this watch. "Update", after having this watch longer and getting to know it better I can say that this was a very good purchase made. It's so many things that Samsung has upgraded on this one. It has a much better GPS system in place that seems to work pretty much like the same system that's inside the Galaxy S23 Ultra, that "ultra wideband" feature. Even when I sleep in the watch, the battery lasts for days, also pretty much like the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The two combined couldn't be a better pair, both are very similar. This watch has seemed to have added some extra features in the Samsung health app. The sleep part of the watch is very accurate, far better than my first generation Galaxy watch. This thing is a must have. Getting just a bit personal, I do wish that Samsung had made this watch bigger, say.... 48mm. However, it still do what it do. This thing has even got Google Assistant. I will gladly recommend this watch to anyone in search of a awesome smartwatch with all the bells and whistles, not to mention the latest technology. Who said that you can't have your cake and eat it to. Read more
