Nice watch. Useful. Some issues with my alarm not always working though. The silent notifications keeps turning itself on. It also randomly locks when I haven't removed it from my wrist. I also wish it was somehow more durable. I've only 4 months old and my screen has so many micro scratches in it even with the liquid screen protector installed. I'm pretty gentle with it too so kind of frustrating but overall, I'm pleased with it.

Shortly after I purchased this watch (in May 2023) I have had issues with the screen having discoloration issues. The screen looks gray instead of black and the screen has a green faded tint that's heavier in color along the edges that fades inwards/across the screen. Sometimes it shows up worse than other days too. Mostly only appears when the watch is locked and asking for the code, in the control panel and in the notifications screen. That's about half the watches display functions we as users look at throughout the day, so it's pretty annoying considering the price of these things. Everything I've researched on the issue claims to be a bug issue from the latest update to watchOS 9.5? My boyfriend has the 45mm s8 with watchOS 9.5 installed though (sidenote: we purchased our watches together on the same day) and he has no issues. So I'm unsure if it's just an issue for some of the 41mm watches or what... but either way, for me, I'm unimpressed because if it's apparently a known software issue then why not fix it? Other than that though, it's a convenient accessory to my iphone.
