Shorter battery life than Galaxy Watch
Shorter Battery life than other Galaxy Watches

Limited apps
It's missing the rotating bezel we loved on previous Samsung watches and comes in only one size with no LTE option. The blood-pressure monitoring is half baked at best. Samsung's Health app doesn't make it easy to locate all your data
Only one size available
Navigation can be fiddly
