I am very happy with my watch. With the health app I can keep track of all of my vitals. I wish Samsung would enable blood pressure check capability for USA market. I can import it from my blood pressure machine but it would be nice to be able to do a quick check with my watch. Battery life and LTE connectivity have been good.
