    This watch does everything I wanted it for and even more! The workout features are great. It is pretty accurate too, as well the step counter. Definitely my new favorite little gadget.

    My wife and I both bought me watches. I bought the Frontier and this is hers. She loves it and I have to say I am impressed. It does almost everything the more expensive watch does for less money.

    I love this new gift that I purchased for myself. I love text features. The S health is good to it lets you know it time to get moving which has helped with circulation.

    The watch itself is fine but I had to charge it everyday. Very annoying. I stopped wearing it. For the price I paid, it should last longer than 1 day.

    When I purchased this item I got the notification to pick it up from the store so fast. My mom has been wanting a galaxy watch since forever. She was so geeked about this purchase.

    I love my watch. I'm not sure if it was an update or because I got a new phone but the updated features are sweet. The battery seems to last about 3 days which is good.

    I had the Samsung gear fit 2 before this and when it was time to upgrade, this is the one I chose. Very easy to use, can be customized in several different ways. Battery life is good.

    I was looking to upgrade my Fitbit and this watch is perfect! I didn’t want to have to pay for another phone line and since this one is Bluetooth I didn’t have too. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    Don't get me wrong I like the watch designs that are coming out. They are more wearable and look nicer but they don't have sounds! I had the geo (square watch) when it came out and I loved it! It shower the messages and other apps like this one. This one doesnt have sound! I looked every where for it and couldn't get it to work so I had to return it unfortunately. I really wanted a Samsung watch but if it doesnt have a speaker I will have to pass. I like to be able to answer my calls and not have to use my phone (mother of 2 small ones) Its east to set up and use just no sound :( for me

    Works great with Samsung galaxy phone. Turn off wifi for a longer battery life since the watch draws notifications over bluetooth. Can't recognize working out on a treadmill as it only recognize it as steps tho.

    I purchased this for my grandson for his birthday. It is a great product with full features and half the cost of an Apple Watch. Great quality and we are very happy with this purchase.

    Wife bought it to replace a Fitbit. I mentioned how much I liked my gear sport. It was too masculine for her taste. The active had all the features she wanted and the appearance that she liked.
