    It's pretty stylish, works well. The screen is bright and colorful. Thickness isn't too big. Battery life is pretty good. I use a sleep tracker at night and this will last a full day even through that. Good value for money if you want a smartwatch.

    When I first saw the Samsung sport watch I thought that it was a regular but fancy watch, when I turned it on and paired it with my iPhone it actually changed all my thoughts, I didn’t expect that a Samsung product could pair that easy to a apple product, good watch.

    Had a fitbit that stopped working and decided to go with watch that could sync with android phone. I do like seeing notifications for email and phone (as I do not keep phone with me 24/7). Really great for tracking steps and exercise!

    Galaxy watch active was a nice light weight option from the original galaxy watch. This watch took a bit of time getting use to because there was no bezel to turn. Over all, the music apps streamed very well and was able to hold more than the Galaxy watch.

    I've been looking at smart watches for a while, but the old Samsung ones were always so big. This one is just the right size. I'm able to wear it at the gym and download my playlists so I don't have to bring my phone with me onto the gym floor for my music. It's great!

    Great watch wear it all the time. Easy to use. Alot of great features. Only have a slight problem with the watch it has a tendency of zooming in and resetting it is the only way to fix it. Tried contacting samsung but no luck.

    I enjoy this watch, but there are several things that it does that I wonder if I would ever use since it is the bluetooth version and my phone must be nearby anyway. Also, settings were not very intuitive, but once they are done, they are done for good

    Purchased for my wife who absolutely loves it. It keeps track of her activities (it's actually very good at figuring out the type of activity she's doing even when she doesn't specify or start it). Overall a great active smartwatch. Great purchase!

    I have a Samsung phone and this pairs nicely. It needs charging daily, which surprised me, but if I go on a walk, I can carry my phone and use the app to count steps. Until an update, it was not counting flights of stairs, but that is now resolved.

    I have had the gear 2 for 4 years and love it. I decided it was time for a new one, although my gear still works like the day I bought it. This watch is a little smaller which I love and a little more stylish. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

    I am very happy with these watch. Exactly what I needed to help me up track of my daily activities without towing around my bulky phone. Love the heart monitoring features and the reminders to get up and get a moving every hour.

    The watch has all the features of the other, larger watches. The touch screen works well. The silver goes very well with the Milanese bands in both silver and black, Battery Life lasts 2-3 days before dying (it never has actually died on me, but gotten to 1-2%).

    I upgraded from a Fitbit Charge to the Samsung Galaxy smartwatch. I should have upgraded a long time ago. This was also my first open box purchase from Best Buy, and I am very pleased! My smartwatch was in excellent condition.

    This watch does everything. I like the fact that the speaker is very loud. I wear it everyday if I am leaving my home. You will not be dissatisfied or disappointed. This watch gives me life.

    I bought this for my son because he started playing football and wants to keep track of his heart rate and how many steps he takes a day… I hope it is the beginning of a life long fitness journey.

    My 7 year old daughter got this for a Christmas gift, she originally wanted the Apple Watch but switched to this one. She sends me texts at times as it is connected to her moms phone. She loves it and it’s pretty easy for her to use and a great price.

    Very nice watch I bought it for me, but at the end it looks like very small for me so I gave it to my wife she loved it. I didnt like the straps than needs to put it under the other
