Brown leather bands are available in a variety of colors and sizes. As long as the 45mm watch has a 22mm band, and the 41mm watch has a 20mm band. You'll also require spring bars, which should be 22mm for the 45mm and 20mm for the 41mm. It will accept any and all bands, and if you don't limit yourself to quick release bands, you'll have a lot more options.
The small (41mm) case comes with a 20mm standard watch band, while the large (45mm) case comes with a 22mm standard band.
Yes. Most guys (and gals) already buy watches that are too big for their wrists, so 45mm is ridiculously large for a 6" wrist. The straps are cut straight down away from the face in one of the review photos, which shows how a 45mm looks on a skinny guy's wrist. Consider how that would appear on your 6" wrist if it were a little more pronounced. The straps should go parallel to the face for a few mm before turning and rounding around the wrist, and the watch should fit completely within the skin of your arm. Bottom line, go for the 41. Today, far too many people appear to be children attempting to put on their parents' adult-sized wristwatches.

This was a gift for my boyfriend, who adored it. However, he turned out to be a complete jerk, and I'm kicking myself for spending $400 on him.
For starters, any fitness tracker/smart watch would be prohibitively expensive. I couldn't think of any scenarios in which this watch would be better than, say, a $75-$150 watch. br>br>Problems:br>1. At the time of writing, ECG was still unavailable.
2. VO2MAX is inaccurate and out of date. It was miles off when compared to lab-tested VO2MAX. br>3. The heart rate is never accurate, and the oxygen sensor appears to give a lot of false readings.
4. Running assistance voice is obnoxious, and voice operation falls short of competing voice services (Siri, Google Assistant). br>4. Because the watch is leather, it rubs against the skin while running, resulting in redness after the first run.
5. I used this to make two calls, both of which were dropped; as a result, I now only use my cell phone for fear of it dropping.
Sure, it has all the bells and whistles, including a fantastic display, which I won't go over again. Based on my one-week experience with the Watch 3, here are a few things I noticed: br>Battery life. The "multi-mode" battery. The "advertisement of the day" claim is purely promotional. The battery is disappearing at a rate of about 20% every 4 hours with the watch face always on (brightness at 6), continuous HR monitoring and no workout tracking . You do% HR monitoring is a term that is used to describe the process of keeping track of one's heart rate. I did two 30-minute treadmill runs; the first one's HR dropped after a few minutes and never recovered. It did a little better on the second one, but it still struggled to keep up, losing HR readings on a regular basis. br>So, if you want a fancy smart watch, it'll probably suffice, but if you want serious fitness tracking, a Garmin is the way to go. Nothing else even comes close to it.
I upgraded from a galaxy watch with a 46mm diameter. This watch appears to be much cleaner, with a much smoother display resolution. Everything about this watch has been upgraded from previous models, including the wheel, which I prefer and is roughly the same size. The built-in microphone is one feature of the watch that I really like. When I'm driving, I talk on my watch, and older models made it difficult for others to hear me. This timepiece has a brilliant clarity to it. Overall, 5/5. For most people, the price difference isn't worth it, but if you use it as much as I do, it's well worth it. Although everyone claims that the battery life is poor, I found it to be adequate. It doesn't seem to last as long as previous models. When worn for 10 hours a day, the heart best sensor runs every 60 seconds, and the display is always turned off, it usually has 60-70 hours of battery life. After a day, 70% of the time has passed. You'd be able to use it for at least two days without having to charge it. I believe the battery life is adequate; simply turn off the display when not in use.
I enjoy smart watches and had decided to upgrade from my previous generation galaxy watch (which I still adore and which has a rotating bezel that no one can match). Apart from more pronounced side buttons, new watch faces, and being a little slimmer, it is very similar to the previous generation. It also has the same speed. Bixby is still terrible, despite the fact that the software and hardware are nearly identical to previous generations. It may appear that I am nitpicking, but if you are paying $460 for a phone, you should expect it to be significantly different and more stylish than the previous generation. This is not even close to being worth more than the previous generation's $200. If you really want it, wait for a price drop or buy the previous generation, which is definitely cheaper now. If you're new to smart watches and money isn't an issue, this is a good option. However, there are cheaper alternatives, such as the Fossil gen 5 or Moto 360, that perform similar functions, and Google WearOS is improving (still buggy, poor battery life, but improving).
I'm considering returning it because of this. It's almost perfect: the battery life is adequate, and the size and weight are ideal. This is absolutely stunning. It's a shame the box doesn't include a charger. It gives me the impression that I've been exploited. Would it be too much trouble to add a charger or even an extra band for working out? I'm amazed at how obscenely greedy this corporation has become. The item is extremely expensive, which is fine because you would expect perfection at that price. And it has almost everything you could possibly want. When you cast your phone to your TV, your watch loses its ability to adjust the volume. This is inconvenient for those who have their phone plugged in somewhere, misplace their remote, and then can't change the volume with the device that is literally attached to their body. What else is there to say? Oh, and changing the song in the music app by rotating the rotating bezel. This is counterintuitive; it would be more logical if it changed the volume. I could simply press the next button to change the song. Why waste the fine control that a rotating bezel provides by switching songs? Idk . It's strange, and it doesn't always cooperate with the volume controls on the pixel bud. Who can say who is to blame for this?.
This watch was not purchased in order for me to become healthier. It's because I wanted a watch that looked like a watch (rather than having the proportions of an old television) and could alert me to texts, emails, and other notifications. br>br>The iOS App is fantastic. I did not anticipate being completely satisfied, but I am. And instead of a few with Buzz Lightyear, etc. , there are thousands of watchfaces to choose from. br>br>Every iPhone owner considering a watch should take a look at this before making a decision. br>br>The one I have costs $430, has no LTE (on purpose), and was delivered the next day with the assurance that I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. This "real-looking" watch should be tried by anyone. I absolutely adore it.
This smartwatch had piqued my interest. I'm excited about the health-tracking features, and I bought at the right time. My new watch's ECG feature was released in the United States the day before it arrived. The watch should work seamlessly with any newer Android phone running the most recent version of Android, according to the product description. This isn't completely correct. After hours of attempting to get the new ECG functionality to work, I discovered some fine print on the Samsung website stating that the new health monitor app required both the Samsung watch 3 and a Samsung Galaxy phone. Because I don't have a Samsung phone, I can't use this feature. This has the following characteristics that make me think of an Apple product: )br>br>A return has already been processed. Samsung, you are a disgrace to the industry. In the future, I'll stay away from Samsung.
