What's great about it: Beautiful screen, very well built, extremely useful
What's not so great: I don't want to take it off at the end of the day
Over the last week this little gadget has already made my life easier. I rely on my phone constantly throughout the day for work. Between calls, text and emails I have to grab it out of my pocket just about the time I’m putting it back in. I also deal with people all day long, being able to glance at my watch and see who is trying to get in touch with me allows me to easily determine if it’s something I should interrupt my conversation to deal with or not. You can stay informed by reading your messages quickly and discreetly and only pull out the phone for something that requires a quick response.
The speaker and microphone are surprisingly good. I’m able to talk hands-free in the car with good clarity on both ends, most people assume I’m talking through a good quality Bluetooth headset. The camera takes nice pictures and transferring to the phone is quick and easy. Scrolling through menus is smooth and quick, I notice no lag time or stutter when switching between screens. I find the interface very intuitive and the fact that you can customize the order your favorite apps are in keeps scrolling through screens at a minimum. The hardest part for me was getting used to a strap style band again (I have been wearing metal band watches for the last 20 years), but after a couple of days I don’t even know it’s there. There have been some concerns about the battery life, I have been getting almost 2 days off a charge with pretty heavy use throughout the day. Charging is a breeze with the "cradle", it's actually a small device that goes around the watch face and has a micro usb port. I have read complaints about having to travel with this cradle. First off its small enough to not be a problem and second I would much rather this than have a usb port in the side of the watch allowing dirt and moisture inside or it needing a rubber plug of some sort.
The other apps and clock faces are just icing on the cake, it is going to just keep getting better as development takes off.
I’m very excited about the future of wearable tech if this is a hint of where it is going!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is this watch water resistant?

Is the watch capable of going in the shower or rain without damage?
From what I have read it is water resitant meaning it can handle rain and being splashed from handwashing. I don't think I would chance a shower though.

can i use it with my galaxy 4

You will be able to in the very near future. They are supposed to release a software update withing the next couple of weeks that will allow it to work with the S4, S3 and Note 2. I was told by a Samsung rep that it will link with an S4 currently but you can not utilize all the features yet.
