Beware of Malfunction
I loved this smartwatch and wore it every day. It changed my life and actually made me less attached to my phone. When I received a text or email I could just glance at my watch and decide if I needed to pull my phone our or just ignore the notification. After 138 days of wear the watch started vibrating and would not stop. I reset it to the factory default and turned it off but it vibrated for a full hour until the battery died. I plugged it in and it started vibrating again so I sent it back to Samsung and this is what they said. "After careful inspection, unfortunately your device is un-repairable due to GROSS ELECTROMECHANICAL DAMAGE which is not covered under the Samsung Standard Limited Warranty. Samsung technicians determined your product is BER (Beyond Economical Repair) simultaneously voiding the warranty. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." Since it is past 90 days I cannot return it and I am screwed. I wore it like a regular watch and didn't do anything out of the ordinary so I have no idea why all of a sudden it just malfunctioned.
