    I love my watch. There are so many different features to choose from. I love that when im at work it tells me that i have been sitting too long and gives me an exercise to do. I have also taken it in the pool. It is awesome in keeping track of any and all excercises I do.

    No matter how high I set the volume on phone, I rarely hear my phone when I get a call or text. With this watch I never miss the vibration on my wrist. It also is an insentive to get a lot of steps in each day. I have no regrets buying this thing!

    I bought this as a gift for my father. This product changed his life. He loves all the features it offers tracking his steps and being able to manage his summing phone from the watch helps him a lot with his job. Great purchase! Highly recommend

    I had the Samsung Gear 2 and just upgraded to this newer Samsung. I like the new sleek look and the ease of use. A great all around smart watch. The only downside is that you still can't answer the phone with the watch. No speaker or microphone on the watch.

    Great Fitness Tracker

    the watch looks great, gives you fitness alerts and you can. Sync it to your Samsung phone via Bluetooth to get alerts of calls and texts. You can also respond to texts directly from the watch without having a dedicated phone line for the watch!

    DO NOT BUY

    DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH! I am the unfortunate owner of a Galaxy watch active 2, and after a little over an year, on the very first time I took a shower with the watch, the heart sensor cover UNGLUED from the watch, letting water in and ruining the watch. Samsung refuses to take responsibility for this defect — which is ridiculously common, as I found on Samsung's own website, on the community forums — and want to charge me to fix the watch, all the while denying the obvious poor craftsmanship of its product.

    Love me watch and can't wait to upgrade to the 4 - 44mm. I was able to upgrade to this 3 because the awesome warranty best buy offers. I've had quite a few generations of the watches and love them all.

    I really like the watch. It's easy to use and has a good battery life. My only complaint is that there isn't a wide variety of workouts to choose from. I do a lot of cardio & there is limited cardio workouts to choose from. I feel like I can not accurately monitor my workouts.

    I wasn't sure that I would like this watch better than my previous Fitbit purchases, but I was wrong. I love it! It was the encouragement I needed to start taking the stairs. I love the reminders to move, since it's easy to lose track of time sitting at my desk.

    Syncs Great with Samsung Phone

    The reason for my purchase was needing to receive texts and emails without checking my phone. I first purchased a Fitbit Versa 2. This did not sync well with my Samsung phone. This watch has been great. I'm still learning but overall has been very user friendly.

    I had the Gear S2 for quite a while and when I saw this I had to have it! I am so happy with the look and especially the size of this watch. I'm really not concerned about the battery life because I don't wear it to sleep but it can go about 2 days on a charge.

    Upgraded from a Fitbit charge 3. Love that this watch can connect to wifi, has better reply features for texts, and so much more. Bummer to find that it doesn't not have a timer feature, but maybe in a feature upgrade. Overall very stylish, looks like a regular watch.

    I bought this for my mom for Mother's Day. She really likes it. I gives her notifications of text and phone calls that she would have missed. She's not a keep the phone by her side lady. She likes that it reminds her to get moving and tracks steps and heart rate.

    I switched to this watch after having multiple issues with fitbit devices. The watch syncs to my phone without issue so far and has many customizable options for the clock face, excersizes, ect. Great value for the price!

    I was a little hesitant to make this purchase because I usually have my phone on me anyways. But it's a great watch, with tons of features. Allows me to stay connected, and not have my phone on me at all times. Would recommend a protector for the screen right away!

    I like the watch and how it operates but i just wasn't satisfied with the face size of the watch. I wanted something a little bigger. So, I decided to return it for the 44mm size. Besides that, the watch is really nice.

    Watch is awesome. Able to store music, and images. Comfortable fit and visually appealing. The use of music is especially cool, can control from cell phone or the watch. Able to customize the dash and is durable,also water proof.

    Bought the Galaxy to replace another type that did not offer all the functions this one does. Fit is great and feels good after wearing all day. Connectivity has not been a issue with this one either, with the apps seeming to flawless so far.
