    I couldn't be happier with my Galaxy Active watch and the employee was so helpful that I was able to make a very confident decision as to what smart watch to purchase. Thank you Best Buy!

    It tracks my workouts, notifications are smooth, changes my spotify track with a simple touch. Got this gift for xmas and I love it. Only downside is you can't take calls on the watch.

    I bought this for my wife for her birthday. She has previously owned an Apple Watch and loves this much better. She says the charging is far more rapid and the battery lasts linger

    Really good watch. Every now and then the heart rate doesn’t track throughout a workout. Besides that, it’s a really good watch for someone who has a Samsung galaxy phone.

    It was so worth making the choice for the Samsung Galaxy Active Watch vs the FitBit to replace a Fitbit that died. This watch doe SO MUCH MORE, for the SAME PRICE!!!

    I like that it can easily track my workouts and calories. Easy to use, just wish you could change the settings and sensitivity. Nice that it's touch screen and easy to use

    I use my watch to keep track of workouts, sleep also while I'm at work I can receive texts and reply back. I love it, there are many other features to it, but I'm still learning how to use.

    It's a great watch but way too big for my small wrist. I wish there was an option for a smaller screen to not overpower my small wrist.

    I purchased this as a cheaper alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Watch. I really like it but I do miss the option of answering calls on the watch but it works great for replying and activity tracking.

    I've had this watch for a few weeks and I love it so far! It's durable which helps during work and the battery life is also great, about a day on normal settings. Would definitely recommend!

    This watch does so much more than a Fitbit. It has everything I need and I would buy it again. This is my second Samsung watch and it works great with my Note 8 phone.

    My first smartwatch and completely satisfied. I haven't gone through all of the features as of yet and I still have to remember to turn workout features on sometimes. However, I'm in love.
