I have avoided a smart watch for years and finally decided to give up the fight and get one. I hate the look of the square Apple watches and mostly think they are over-priced and faddish. I wanted something that would give me the look of a traditional watch and after watching a ton of reviews on YouTube, I decided on the Galaxy Watch 5.

I love the watch but hate the band. I am not reviewing the band but it does seem like if they offer you a classy looking watch they could offer something other than the plastic bands.

The setup is extremely easy with the app downloaded on the phone. I have a Samsung phone which may have made it easier and I don’t think all the functions work with other Android phones. I love all the features and integration of the numerous health and lifestyle apps. When I am sitting around the house and have my Samsung phone on the table next to me or in another room, it is great to just look at my wrist to keep up with texts and emails instead of having to chase my phone down.
