I am enjoying the Galaxy 46 lte. It is paired to a Moto z2 force. The combo works better than I could ever have hoped. It gets good reception on lte stand alone thru Verizon. The health features are useful and seem to be accurate enough for me. Battery life is great with solid three to four'ish day expectancy. It's my fourth model of Samsung watch I've owned and happy overall with the performance and features of this device.

Update: It's been nearly two months with this watch. Still have yet to find any real faults with it. battery under medium use goes a full three days. I got a bunch of apps on it and about 250 songs. still about 350 mb of space left. I do use it to record myself at work. It is to record quick notes and to do lists. Works well for that. All in all a great device.

Hi...what is your experience regarding fitness tracker accuracy like gps signal, heart rate monitor, steps counter or sleep accuracy?

It's been reporting a just a little low on steps. Like less than a hundred over a day. The heart rate has been very close to my certified machine. Less than 1%. GPS has been fair. Don't know but a couple of apps just are wonky acting with GPS. So I'm still searching for a standalone offline map that works well. Biggest thing is on a long walk the app stops reporting like after 2 hours. Dunno why? Overall I'm pleased with the galaxy watch though.

we now have three devices in the family. My 46mm lte, the wife's smaller rose colored lte, and my sons black smaller wifi only. The battery from my larger watch runs about 24-36 hours longer than the smaller ones do. My wife runs hers stand alone much of the time and kills the battery every day. My son gets about 2 days solid most of the time and he uses it a lot for bluetooth phone calls. I think it sounds really good and he uses the health apps very much.
All of the watches get about the same accuracy for steps and heartrate. They all agree the bigger watch is easier to read a message on but they wouldn't want to wear it all day like I do.

Hi PortablePete and thanks for the update. Lucky you everything runs smoothly for your family watches as so many other people do complain. I am still trying to find the courage to finally go and get the 46mm watch cause I like it very much, but all these complaints about inaccuracies that I have been reading makes me hesitating.
Wish you best of luck...
Best Regards SK

I wouldn't hesitate on this watch. I've had smartwatches for years and this is by far the best. People do complain but mostly because they are too lazy to do the research. Just by visiting these forums you are by far more qualified to making your purchase than most.

you can use LTE standalone while synced to a non-samsung phone?

Totally agree with you
Many thanks for your input and from all the other forum members too.
