Ratings and reviews

Too many permissions, way too clunky. I was given a Galaxy watch by a family member. I only wanted to use it for health data, definitely not calling, texting, it notifications. Setting it up was full of bugs and roadblocks, including with this app download. Once I finally got it connected to my phone, it wanted permission for EVERYTHING to function at any level. Absolutely not.

I love the watch, very well made. However, I have a MAJOR quarrel with Samsung. When the watch is connected to my phone, my Google Assistant doesn't listen. The Assistant screen pops up, but doesn't hear my voice at all, even through the watch mic. Furthermore, the watch doesn't work with Wear OS from Google. More still, you have to download at least three Samsung apps for the watch to work properly, four if you want the fitness portion to work.

My watch is only a few months old and has become virtually worthless with this awful app. It insists I must update to use it, but when I try it only gives the "uninstall" option. I've tried reinstalling several times and it does nothing. It is not communicating with my phone at all, not showing calls or texts. So now I just have a digital watch that needs to be charged every 36 hours. My kids' cheap knock-off watches from Amazon work far better.
