Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For a smaller guy as myself (5'9") I find the 42mm a great fit. The wake up gesture works great and I find the activity tracking works very well. I am not sleep expert, but the watch does seem to know exactly when I go to sleep and wake up. Not sure if I will even care in the coming weeks. but pretty neat at the moment. However, I have a few minor issues I don't like and perhaps I will overcome them as I get more familiar with the watch. Text messages I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 and if I read my text messages on my watch, my phone does not mark the message as ready. I am using Google messages, so maybe its not compatible. But in my 2015 car I can read the message on the infotainment center and it gets acknowledged. Its not too big of a deal, but in my opinion, it kinda of defeats the purpose of using your watch. Notifications I have disabled most of the notifications I don't want to see. But I have not figured out how to disable the daily briefings, or when my phone is out of range (it vibrates) or some various other apps on the phone. Goodnight mode I love the goodnight mode feature. It seems to recognize when its getting close to bedtime, giving you the option to enable or suspend. But it does not always recognize when I get up. I find half the time I have to turn it off. Battery life I know the 42 has the smaller battery, but I am a little disappointed with the life so far. I have gotten close to two days of use before needing to recharge. My expectation was 3 full days. Of course I find myself messing with it often. Hopefully, the life will improve as I scale back my usage.
