Decision:

As a chef and barista in Lyon, I'm always on my feet and need gear that keeps up without fuss. I picked up this SAMS watch a couple months back, and it's been a solid companion. The screen is bright and clear—no squinting needed when I'm checking timers or messages mid-service. Making calls hands-free is a game-changer; I can chat with suppliers or my family without dropping everything. The voice assistant is fairly responsive, though it's not perfect, but it handles basics like setting reminders well. For health, it tracks my steps and heart rate reliably, nudging me to move more after long shifts. The flashlight? Absolute winner—I've used it to inspect ingredients in low light or find dropped utensils. Compared to other watches I've tried, this one feels more practical and less flashy, which I appreciate. It's durable, survived a few splashes and bumps, and the design is unisex, so it doesn't scream 'gadget' on my wrist. With kids and a hectic life, it helps me stay organized, but the daily charging is a bit of a drag. Overall, it's a smart buy for someone who values function over frills, and it's made my days a bit smoother. Most likely, I'd recommend it to fellow professionals who need reliability without the bells and whistles.

• Pros: The display is incredibly sharp and easy to read even in low light, which is a lifesaver in my dimly lit kitchen. I love that it can make calls and has a voice helper—it feels like having an extra pair of hands when I'm juggling orders. The health tracking is surprisingly accurate, helping me stay on top of my fitness without extra gadgets. And the built-in light is a genius touch; I use it all the time to find things in dark corners or during early morning prep.
• Cons: The battery doesn't last as long as I'd hoped, needing a charge every day or so, which can be a hassle with my busy schedule. It's a small downside, but it adds up over time.
