Customers are delighted by the Galaxy Watch Active Smartwatch 40mm Aluminum's user-friendly interface, stylish design, and comfortable fit. They appreciate its fitness tracking capabilities, affordability, and compatibility with Samsung phones. However, they express concerns about its short battery life and the lack of a speaker.
I upgraded from my first smartwatch, a Pebble Time, since my switch to a Galaxy S10 didn't go over well with it. My wants for that one were notifications and music controls on my wrist. Lately I've found myself wanting fitness-tracking features. The Galaxy Watch Active delivers that perfectly for me - I've used it for walks, mountain biking, even Beat Saber. I also like the sleep tracking, though I don't know what value I actually get out of it... As far as fit and feel, the included band is very comfortable, and the watch is small and light enough that I don't take much notice of it. The green color is evident, but not flashy. User interface is very smooth, and the touch bezel update is fun (but not perfect). Without the always-on display, I can get a little over 2 days' use out of the battery (with the S10, I do get the benefit of Wireless PowerShare, which is super cool!) I'm extremely satisfied with the level of quality and features that it offers, especially for the sale price.

I wish this model came with the high blood pressure monitor, but the upgrade price for it wasn't justified. This original version does all but that. I purchased this model during a sale promotion. A bit sensitive to touch. Smartwatch tracks all my fitness, you can customize face, widgets easily. Must download Samsung health and Wear for optimal information. Was able to link my scale to their app and track my weight goals. The watch looks great, face size is perfect on my wrist, doesn't look bulky. Battery life isn't great, if you want to track your sleep you will need to find downtime to charge up. Bixby is great on this watch as well. Lots of options on this product.

I've owned a variety of brands of smartwatches - Zenwatch, Fossil, and others, the Galaxy Watch Active is the best. The different operating system was an easy adjustment. It works faster, more smoothly and more intuitively than the others did. Tracks heart, breathing, calories burned, stress levels and more. The fitness reminders are helpful without being obtrusive. The watch design is less bulky and more attractive than any other I've owned, especially for small wrists like mine. It comes with two bands - large and small. The one drawback is the built-in assistant, Bixby. It has very limited functions. I over came that by porting the Google Assistant onto the watch. ( Google it!) With a double tap on the home key now I can use Google features. Overall, it's a pleasure to use and wear!
