    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.

    I had this watch for a bit in place of an Apple Watch when I had an affair with Android. It worked well but the phone I had wasn’t cutting it. I liked this watch just as much as the Apple Watch, it’s preference and what operating systems you like.

    I love my new watch! I don't get too may tech things when they are new, so this is fun for me. It's not the newest version, but it works just fine for my needs =) It's pretty and does its job well. My battery lasted me 2 days.

    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.

    Bought this for my father because he wanted one and I own the same one and love it. So far he is really enjoying it and loves that he gets his notifications on his wrist. He says it helps him see who is calling or texting so he doesn't have to look at his phone.

    I bought this watch for my girlfriend as a replacement for her fit bit. I purchased at Christmas time. She's way more happy with this watch. As it has a ton of useful features that fit bit could not adequately deliver on. Definitely a great watch for the money.

    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.

    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.

    Bought this for my wife. I gave the Gear S3 Frontier. Works just like that w/o the bezel. Easy to use. battery lasts about two days. My wife takes it off every night so charging is not an issue. i wear mine 24/7 so sometimes I forget to check the battery.

    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

    I bought this watch to help track my daily exercise and walking. I got that and so much more! I love the additional apps available. I love having pictures on my watch face. I’m very happy with the watch, with being able to receive and send messages, score updates, etc.

    I really like the redesigned and updated Samsung Watch except the loss of a rotating bezel. I'm getting used to it though. If it was required to eliminate a rotating bezel to achieve this smaller size, then I'm ok with it because the smaller size watch is much more stylish and less gawdy.

    My wife loves it she had the OG galaxy watch, and it stopped working. Had the geek squad protection (highly recommend) and got this as an upgrade. Long battery life, can easily last 2 days

    Since there is no instruction book I have to look everything up on the computer. It is most inconvenient for me when I could read the paper instruction pamphlet anytime that I had a down minute if there was one. I do not always have time to sit at the computer.

    I purchased this smart watch to replace an ASUS Zenwatch 2 that was inaccurate. So far it has outperformed the Zenwatch 2, particularly since it counts all my steps and is easy to charge. Battery life is very good and syncing to my phone was simple.

    This watch is trash!! It broke within 60 days. I wash my hands a lot but the watch is supposed to be water resistant. Now Samsung wants to charge me $155.87 to fix this watch they say has water damage. Battery life is less than a day when it's connected to phone via Bluetooth. I was an avid Samsung customer. My last 8 phones have been Samsung. I also have galaxy buds and a Samsung tablet. After this experience I am no longer a Samsung customer.

    Easy to pick up if only the person helping set it would have showen me more information about what all it does There is no book with it you have to go online to get this information, which is easy for young people but not so for me.

    Didn't think I really needed a watch that links with my phone. But now that I have it I'm loving the convenience it brings. I workout everyday and the heartrate and calorie tracker is my favorite feature. The watch links to most apps including golf apps and spotify. Great purchase.

    This is my first smartwatch so I don't have a comparison. However, I've enjoyed the watch and the functionality. It does not allow phone conversations but wasn't looking for that in my smartwatch. All major functionality is present and hoping additional functionality becomes available.

    Works Great. Battery seems to last for almost two days. I usually charge every other night. Sleep recording doesn't take in account if your lie still and watch movie it records you're sleeping. Other than that great phone.
