    Really liking my new Galaxy watch active. Got a great deal on it. Unfortunately the first one I bought died after 10 days. I took it back and they gave me a new one. It's been working great. Has a nice look to it, especially with my spigeon cover.

    I was given this for Mother's day! So far so good. Still trying to figure out. Does disconnect if you get out of range, the range doesn't seem that far though. That's a little disappointing.

    This watch was part of my switch from the apple ecosystem and I love it. It has made the transition to android much easier. My wife is still in the Apple tree, but everytime I take my watch off I find it on her wrist. LoL.

    I love the notification and calling features on this watch. I don't have to pull out my phone to answer a text and can do this from my watch. I can also make calls from the watch. Plus, I can control the music from my watch, which is GREAT !!!

    No issues so far, works as expected, only real issue is the steps are not accurate if recording through the day. When sitting using the computer it's counting steps, as long as that's not the reason for your purchase it works as expected.

    This watch captures all information and is easily transcribed to my phone app. I enjoy the sleep log, the information captured also helps me keep up with my health and I can give more accurate information to my doctors. Loving it!!

    I love this watch. I upgraded from the gear s2 and thought u would miss the bezel feature but I dont at all. Love all the features. Only negative is if you use the continuous heart rate it drains the battery very quickly. I find myself charging it daily

    Although I love the looks of this watch I am disappointed with the accuracy. The display is beautiful but I find myself in battery saving mode often. I do appreciate that it’s compatible with apple products.

    I bought this for my son because he started playing football and wants to keep track of his heart rate and how many steps he takes a day… I hope it is the beginning of a life long fitness journey.

    Love all the features and how easy it was setup, but the blood pressure app that was supposed to be available on 03/15 was a fantasy. I bought this instead of the Fitbit because of the blood pressure app. I still love it but I wanted it for the blood pressure app.

    Bought this for my son for Christmas. He wears it mostly every single day. Also a bonus, he can not say he didn't see my text anymore, lol.

    This is my First smart watch. I am still learning all the features. I really like that it is light weight and not so large that it looks like a hockey puck on my wrist. The battery life has been plenty for my needs and will be trying out many apps yet.

    I purchased this watch for my husband as I have one in silver already and love it. I used to have an iPhone and apple watch but when I switched to Samsung, it struggled to find a comparable smartwatch. Happy to say, this is it!

    This was my first smartwatch and I thought it would be more beneficial. There are more limitations then I anticipated. Looks great and I really like the watch however, I think I just had extremely high expectations that could not have been met.

    My former Galaxy Frontier battery died after only 3 or 4 years. It stopped charging. So, I bought the Active, because it cost a lot less than the Frontier and has all the same features! I enthusiastically recommend the Active!

    This smartwatch has excellent qualities to think about buying one; is small, with a very good battery life, comfortable in hand, light, the screen is scandalous, compatible with the charging base and the price is very contained. A recommended purchase.

    Very nice watch I bought it for me, but at the end it looks like very small for me so I gave it to my wife she loved it. I didnt like the straps than needs to put it under the other

    Bought this for my wife as a replacement for her Fitbit Alta. The Alta's strap wore out after a year and couldn't keep a charge. She really likes this as it looks and feels more like a 'normal' watch, plus has more features than the Alta.
