    Well worth the upgrade

    I bought this watch as an upgrade from the original Galaxy Watch that I was wearing and I was not disappointed. The watch is very lightweight and the interface is much better than the older version. The only complaint I have is that the standard watch band it comes with is not great, but it is so easy to switch out to a new one.

    The Galaxy watch active does exactly what you expect it to do! It works great with the new Galaxy S10 models and has a good quality to it. Durable and useful it performs exactly like how a watch like this is advertised to do. Whether I'm at the gym or working my usual job it always shows me exactly what I want to see in the interface and with incoming messages. I love this product and would definitely recommend!

    This is exactly what I wanted. I don't need to talk on my phone using my watch. I get my messages and emails while working without having my phone on me. I also know if someone is calling me that I need to answer my phone or not without having to get to it. Great product for being able to get phone notifications without having phone immediately on you. Great health app as well.

    Works perfectly! I just needed a simple watch that can show my notifications from my phone while I'm teaching. The battery lasts for a day, so you'll have to charge it up every night. This doesn't really bother me as I charge it with my phone at night. Luckily, it charges pretty fast, so if you needed it, just pop it on the magnetic charger, and you're good to go!

    The watch is great but I told them I need a large wrist band and was told there was one in the box. I get it home and it only goes up to 9". Also guess what? 9' inch is the largest they make the band for this watch. Now I'm sitting here with my 11' wrist and 9" wrist band. I have searched and come up with nothing but yet this is supposed to be a fitness watch, but not if you are a plus size person

    I love it! the watch is small enough to be used by a man or a woman looking great on both. The device comes with several options for screen and apps to upload for free but also there are options for purchase. The product have very good quality materials and with options to interchange bands and covers it makes it an easy option for yourself or a gift for she or he.

    I bought this for my wife who is an android lover. She does not like apple at all with the exception of the apple watch. This watch is nice but does not have as many features as the apple watch. You cannot answer calls with it, you cannot speak to it like you do with apple and its harder to get apps to work with it. It is a great watch but it does not compete as well as apple does in the watch category

    Coming from a Galaxy Gear S2 watch, which was (seemingly) larger, this has brighter functions but have noticed lag in between commands like Bixby, or any other processing function. I'm trying to like it and wonder if I should have footed the additional $150 for a 44mm Active2 watch. It charges about the same time as my Gear S2, which is a full charge in around 110 minutes. The battery lasts 35 hours on a single charge.
