    Not a bad watch

    This isn't a bad smartwatch. I bought it so I could text without getting my phone out and it works really well! The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the workout tracker doesn't sync on my watch so no matter how long I workout for, it won't show up. Other than that, I really love this watch

    This watch does a lot of stuff for the price. And it was great to be able to use Samsung pay without touching anything while paying. The sleep tracker is not the greatest, but the watch has other features that overcome some of the fitness and sleep functions.

    The battery life is improved on this model. It gives lots of options as to what you want your watch face to look like. It is great to track steps during exercise. The heart rate measurements seem to be accurate. It is a great day to day watch.

    This was for my son age 13. His review is below... I wish there was a speaker, more compatibility for games. I like the look, size, and weight. It is water resistant. Fair cost. The glass is solid. Wish Google maps was included.

    I absolutley love this watch! It has everything I wanted it to do plus more. Being able to customize it with my own pictures was HUGE for me, the battery life is reasonable. I normally charge it every night but its lasted 35 hours before. I couldn't have picked a better watch.

    It was a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. He hasn't complained about it at all. On the other hand, we thought that it was like an Apple Watch, that can receive and send calls from the watch but other than that he loved it!!

    I bought this watch to pair with my Google Pixel 2 XL phone and I tried not just one but 2 or these watches and they did not work as advertised. The watch should have came with a messaging app for use (which apparently doesn't when you do not have a Samsung phone) which was upsetting to me. So I could only receive messages and respond but I couldn't create a new message and send It from the watch. I did love the workouts that were on the watch! But the battery life was poor. Down to 60-50 % by lunchtime after doing a workout and regular use. Charging took quite long as well which was unfortunate. For these reasons I returned the watch.

    I use this primarily to connect between a medical device app I use and a transmitter so I can moniotor the device with a watch on my wrist rather than a monitor I would need to keep in pocket. Works well and does what I require of it.

    I bought this for my mon and she loves it. The bands can be customized to fit your outfits and provides valuable information to keep you active and track your sleep and so much more. I would recommend this product. Battery last at least one full day

    watch is very slick and has improve a lot. however, the active calories count is not accurate at all, i had an apple watch as well as other watch and their count was very close when it comes to work out and how many calories are burned. 30 minutes on a treadmill at 6.8 speed calories burned 85?

    I have owned this watch for almost 2 years. It has been pretty good overall, but now the battery does good to last half of one day. I would hope that it would last longer than 2 years.

    Had a little trouble getting the watch to sync with the phone and then it updated and things seemed to work. We didn’t realize you couldn’t make calls from the watch but figured that out and it isn’t a huge deal. Overall we are happy with the features this offers for the cost.

    Is the first time that I owned a smartwatch, and I really like all the workout functions. I use it mostly for running and hiking, the best feature is that you can download music from spotify into your watch and go for a run without taking your phone.

    We purchased this smart watch for our teenage daughter. She has a google pixel 4XL. She loves everything about it. There are a few applications that dont work, but nothing that she has missed at all. It is a beautiful watch with great capabilities

    I really love this watch! I didn't care much for the last version of it because all I wanted it for was working out and I was not disappointed. It motivates me and so easy to keep track of my workouts. Glad I finally made my decision of buying it.

    I originally had the Samsung galaxy with the bezel, which by the way was amazing. Decided I wanted a smaller face. The galaxy active is way lighter then the regular galaxy. Only difference is u swipe inactive watch and turn with the regular galaxy. I def recommend this watch.

    I purchased this watch for my daughter, it is working really great. She shows me all of the time how many steps she gets in at work. The watch also will receive and let you view pictures that are sent via text message! I found it really amazing. Good product.
