    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.

    Still works after over a year. Though i really just use it to track my excercises and find my phone. Ive accidently worn it in shower a couple times with no issue. The band does start to smell after a while, though.

    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?

    Disappointed that the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well. I bought this for my elderly father to help him keep track of his heart rate and it doesn’t work well. The readings are very off at times. Not reliable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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

    I’ve had the watch for a little over a month now and I’ve been pleased with it. It was a bit of a learning curve for me, some of the functions felt a little cumbersome, like trying to clear notifications but the more I use it the easier it has become. Overall I’ve enjoyed the watch.

    Useful and beautiful. I have had this watch for about a week and am still learning its features. So far it has been great for staying on top of my stress/activity levels - love the gentle pushes to move and/or take a breath. Helps me stay connected without needing my phone all the time.

    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.

    I absolutely love this watch. Ive had 3 different Samsung watches and this one work the best buy far. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have the stand alone phone option and no external speaker. Hopefully the next version they make of this watch will have those options.

    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 had a Samsung G2 but the band broke and this seemed to be a lot more feminine. I love all of the features in the Galaxy Active e.g see emails and texts, a daily briefing, and sleep mode just to name a few. Although, I am unable to answer calls. This watch still delivers.

    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.

    I love this watch from the look to the functionality. It works great and tracks everything. Good battery life (I charge it every other day even though it's not dead yet) and it charges really fast. Not hot at all while charging. I love it. Would definitely recommend buying it
