I have had this watch for a few weeks now. Aesthetically it's quite pleasant, comfortable to wear. The screen is decent and the battery life is as advertised. It suffers from a couple of major flaws in my opinion.
1. The GPS for tracking running (which is the main reason I bought this watch) is very poor. When compared with other dedicated running watches the speed and distance are way off, often showing you running through lakes and buildings etc. There is a long thread about this here - https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/11/queue-samsung-sport.html/comment-page-1#comment-2738519
2. Lack of apps - I have really found nothing useful to install other than Samsung Pay which for the record works quite well. I can't find an uber app, a phillips hue app or anything even remotely main stream for that matter. The app store is full of home made watch faces and samsung apps that you may or may not need.
So if you want a watch that will tell you the time and alert you to notifications in a very nice screen and form factor then this might be good for you. If you want to use it for sports you might want to wait and see if Samsung fix the existing GPS issues this watch has.
