    I bought this watch for my mother and she loves it, it’s an upgrade from her Fitbit. She’s finding so many differences in the two, the galaxy watch definitely has more features and benefits then her old watch.

    I just love my new Galaxy Watch it has everything I was looking for. Also love the look! I was looking for something feminine looking to go with an everyday outfit. Different watch faces are a super bonus!

    10 months later, the Samsung watch still works great. My only issue is the sleep tracking is not always accurate, but I still love it. Looks great, tracks steps, displays email and text, and so much more.

    I upgraded from a Gear Fit 2 which did not hold a charge. This watch keeps going for days without a recharge. The band stays snug against your wrist. The features if this watch are top notch. I love everything about my new watch.

    My wife bought this. She is very non-technical, but really loves the watch. It doesn't seem to work, however, if there is no cell phone attached, which renders it useless on a ship or overseas.

    We bought this watch for our son as a present. He was excited to get it and wears it daily. He loves the feed back he gets on his workouts at the gym and says it works flawlessly with his Samsung phone and earbuds.

    This was a great watch. Easy to function and maneuver through. The only thing was mine didn't hold a charge. Must of been a bad batch for the battery so we upgraded to the Active 2.

    Bought this for my wife. She still wears it all the time. The find my phone option is a life saver, seeing how she always misplaces her phone. Never had any issues with the watch!

    This watch is definitely an upgrade from the gear fit pro 2. The many features that were added are an added bonus like the mic on it that you can talk into for making calls, etc. Switching out the bands is super easy too.

    Requested by my wife for mother’s day. She loves the functionality of the watch and color that matches her jewelry. She’s a Samsung junkie!! Waited 2-3 months to give an honest review. No glitches or issues since May 2019.

    I thought it would be odd not having the bezel, but this watch is still very sleek and easy to use. The battery life is pretty poor compared to my last two Samsung watches. I'm hoping Samsung comes out with an update to fix this issue.

    It’s great and useful. This is my third one. It better than gear pro 2. I had use gear pro 2 less than a year because of broke wristband twice. I hope that my third galaxy watch active is not break with wristband.

    This watch is exactly what I was looking for to help me track my activity, calories, water intake & such. Super easy to use and personalize. Recommend the ear buds as well - they work great and are also super user friendly.

    I really like the feel and look. I wish the battery would last longer. Can't keep longer that 2 days with out charging. Don't like that I can't personalize the watch face...

    I've had this on everyday for about half a year and this watch is showing absolutely no signs of wear. It is super easy to clean, easy to customize and does everything I need it to. Highly recommend this.

    Decent, but some features don't work real well

    I like most of the features of this watch, but a few of the features I was really excited for don't really work that great. For one, the step counter seems to be calibrated for child steps because it logs two for every one step i take. The stairs climbed counter seems calibrated for 14ft staircases rather than the standard 10ft stairs in most houses, because if I want it to log whenever I go up my own stairs I have to reach my arm all the way over my head or it won't count it. The heart rate monitor also reads about 5-10 bpm higher than my actual heart rate. Otherwise, the watch works pretty well though.

    I was hesitant to get a smartwatch but for my job it makes reading texts a lot easier than having my phone all the time. You have to dowload the timer on it but thats ok it was easy.

    Not sure if it was the watch, but it gave my wife a blister after wearing it 8 hours a day for a week. A few days rest healed it. My wife says it didn't give her any more blisters after that. hmm.... Otherwise, it's a great smartwatch.
