Smart watches

After wearing the watch a bit more, I've got some more feedback. I started charging every other night, and that seems to be about perfect, I use the workout tracker for approximately 45-90 minutes each morning, and that's really the only function outside of display and other background stuff that pulls from the battery. The heart rate and workout options are still leaving a lot to be desired, and I've teetered the idea of going back to a dedicated fitness watch, either Fitbit or Garmin, but I love the other features too much, and I'm not interested in wearing two different devices. I'm hoping Samsung will listen to it's users and push out a software update to correct the issue. With a recent update, the S3 now has the Underarmour "record" and "Myfitnesspal" apps available, so that has been a huge plus, as I track my food intake.

For those who have this watch, I highly recommend ditching the factory rubber band, in favor of a nylon "NATO" style band, I recently made the swap and couldn't be happier, comfort level is a huge improvement, and even with drenching it in sweat daily, there is no "stench". I've got a black and olive band, with a desert khaki band on the way (I'll post pics with each installed once I get the new band). Overall I'm still very happy with the watch minus the fitness tracking (which isn't terrible, just could use some tweaking), and I get tons of compliments, even from die hard Apple watch guys (many have asked if the S3 will work with their Iphone, which it will).
