    I did actually try a fitbit but it just was not the same. The galaxy watch feels different and I do love the fitness aspect and customisation of it. I had three band 2;s first one i dropped, second one the strap broke same as yours, third and final one still seems okay. Just a shame they are...

    A small experiment

    Nothing more irritating than when Cortana stops working, and text messages show connecting, its a daily event, the phone is right next to me, it shows me messages, then I go to reply on the band, it shows connecting, I have to reset my bluetooth connection to get it to work again.
