    I should've known better than to buy older technology. I was just trying to save some money. The charge doesn't last a day! I'll need to buy an extra charger for work when I go back to work. I have the brightness set to 1 while working from home but this battery just drains. I love everything else about the watch though. Great customizable features.

    It works seemlessly with my OnePlus 6T. The battery is phenomenal, even using it constantly and I love that it can either auto detect my workout or I can tell it what I'm doing. I didn't care for the silicon band, but a replacement band was cheap and now it's super comfortable. I really love that it tracks my stress levels and tells me to breathe and reminds me to move if I'm sitting still too long. 10/10 would recommend.

    Samsung Galaxy Active Smartwatch --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *****Review***** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had the pleasure of purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch a while back. In my honest opinion although a really nice watch, it didn’t work out for me unfortunately; for personal reasons and opinions… But guess what? Here comes a smartwatch from Samsung that I must say is attractive, has new features, and is definitely affordable for us “active” folks out there. Samsung right off the bat offers the wearer the ability to have a good amount of customization and personalization. You can virtually strap on any 20mm watch band and Samsung is releasing 4 finishes of the Galaxy Active Smartwatch; which comes in either silver, black, blueish/green, and rose gold/pink. When it comes to the design and finish of the Galaxy Active Smartwatch, I am honestly impressed. The watch itself feels well built and durable yet elegant and beautiful with its brushed aluminum finish. With its design, it is super light weight and never gets in my way during my workout activities. The glass itself is made of Gorilla Glass 3 to help with impacts and scratches while displaying its AMOLED screen. All in all, I am pleased with the design that Samsung went with for the Galaxy Active Smartwatch; it’s truly modern, minimalistic and comfortable. Although some may not agree, I enjoy using the Galaxy Active Smartwatch without a rotating bezel. Sure it’d be nice to have the rotating bezel, but it’s not a deal breaker in my opinion. My only gripe/complaint is that the screen itself has quite a large bezel. With technology and the trend nowadays, the bezel should be extremely minimal to practically invisible. Samsung chose to insert a 230mAh battery for the Galaxy Active Smartwatch. It has been stated by Samsung that you’ll get approximately 45 hours of use, I’ve personally tested this statement and I must say that I am actually quite impressed. I would say the “use” is subjective, so it ultimately depends on that. I still got a solid 1 ½ ~ 2 days of usage before I had to charge. Excellent work on the battery estimation Samsung! During my day to day use, I really enjoyed the comfortability of the Samsung Galaxy Active Smartwatch. The internal specs of the watch also made it seamless as there was virtually no issues of lag experienced. I personally never really used the included onboard GPS route tracking since I workout in the gym near my house. But I can definitely state that if/when my wife decides to go hiking, I will for sure put the GPS to good use. I also LOVE the fact that I can go swimming with this watch up to 5ATM which is 50 meters which is approximately 164 feet. Besides that, I also utilized the heart rate monitor, sleep tracker and general fitness. Heart rate monitor, sleep monitor, and general fitness tracking is pretty generic as it’s available on any smartwatch. I've been trying to see if I could utilize the blood pressure monitoring option but I can't seem to find it. From what I can tell, the blood pressure monitoring option isn't released yet or perhaps in beta. I'm definitely looking forward to having the option monitor my blood pressure. Just keep in mind everyone, take the blood pressure monitoring with a grain of salt. Always go see your doctor if you think something is going on. Overall, I have to say that I am quite pleased with the Samsung Galaxy Active Smartwatch. Everything from the design, to the usage, downright to the practicality; I can personally say that it’s worth it. It definitely won’t create a huge dent in your bank account and it has all the functions you need on a day to day basis. My gripe as some others may have is with the large black bezel. If you're an individual that likes to wear a light and extremely comfortable smartwatch without putting a dent into your wallet/bank account with the purchase; I highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy Active Smartwatch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *****Quick Features & Specs***** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1-inch circular 360x360 AMOLED display Tizen OS 4.0 w/ One UI GPS, Glonass, Beidou & Galileo Heart rate & blood pressure monitoring MIL-STD-810G tested IP68 certified Swim-proofing up to 5ATM 40mm aluminium casing 20mm quick-release silicon straps 1.15GHz Exynos 9110 chipset, 768MB RAM, and 4GB storage Pairs seamlessly with Samsung Galaxy phones and other Android devices.

    I love this watch! It's cute and I love that it tracks my steps and also alerts me if I'm sitting to long. When I'm walking it automatically will pickup that I'm walking and will Starr a workout! It's worth the price plus I got it on sale! Plus u can change the bands or the watch face.. So I'm very happy with my purchase!

    I upgraded from the Samsung Fit2 watch and I absolutely love my new watch. The upgraded features are wonderful and this watch is waterproof. This watch tracks any activity that you do and allows you to respond to text messages by speaking into the watch. Unfortunately, you cannot talk on the phone from your watch but I'm ok with not having that feature.

    Love this watch! Swim, workouts, shower, work, basically everything until I have to charge it. Battery lasts long. Average 2 days and that's at maximum usage of watch. Monitor your heart rate, stress, sleep, steps and automatically recognizes different exercises.

    Does almost anything I could want. Monitors heart rate, stress, sleep, steps. Has ability to add apps: email, messages, alarms etc. Fast charging. Uses USB connector to specialty charger which magnetized to back of watch. My one complaint is that it is a fixed cable about 3 ft long; would like a shorter cable to use with my charging station. Does include 2 different length bands.

    My father is in awe with the watch. This is his first connected watch and it has everything he needed and more. It’s also discrete and lightweight, which i believe is good for older, casual type of men! The screen quality is really great, and we were able to choose a bigger font so he could read better. Nice!

    Great watch. I'm not a die hard fan of exercising, but I find that this motivates me to move. It counts your steps and mileage even works on a treadmill. It connects so easily to other samsung products like a smartphone. You can store some songs on here, but not a lot. I prefer to listen thru my phone.
