    I had been using A Samsung Gear Fit Pro, it finally failed after several years of rough use. I saw the Galaxy active on sale for the same price as another Gear Fit Pro at regular price. I decided to give the Galaxy Active a try, I am glad I did, it does so much more than the Gear Fit Pro, it is also much more accurate on the readings and sleep functions as well as music and GPS tracking. The battery life is better too. It is lighter and the display is much lager and easier to read.

    Really happy with the watch and most of it's functions. Some glitches at times and it took me a few days to get used to the settings that I wanted. I'm still frustrated with the onboard Spotify app. Sometimes it works great to download a playlist, take it offline, and go running while connected to bluetooth headphones. Sometimes it just doesn't work and I can't figure out why... Hoping some updates will fix it soon or maybe I just need to become more familiar with how it works offline.

    I bought this Samsung active watch for my wife for her birthday. Loved it from the beginning. So many things you can do with this watch. Uses it to listen to music with beats bluetooth headphones while running. The only downside is that Samsung earbuds dont work to well with this watch. Pretty sure it's the earbuds not the watch since beats work great. Anyways about to buy another watch for myself. Cant go wrong with this watch.
