    Love that this is a smaller sized watch than their last round face watch. I had the Gear fit 2 before this, which was shaped like a fitbit. This watch has more features you can access and the band is super soft and easy to clean. So far so good!

    I bought this watch because I grew weary of having to attach a phone to my body everytime I exercised. I love it. It syncs seamlessly with Samsung Health. Since buying it my fitness & activity levels are increasing much more than before!

    I really like my samsung smart watch. Anytime my phone ring or I get a text on my phone i get a notification on my watch. I can read my text on my watch and respond to the text if I chose to. I'm still learning the watch. I'm happy with my purchase.

    This watch was part of my switch from the apple ecosystem and I love it. It has made the transition to android much easier. My wife is still in the Apple tree, but everytime I take my watch off I find it on her wrist. LoL.

    I was given this for Mother's day! So far so good. Still trying to figure out. Does disconnect if you get out of range, the range doesn't seem that far though. That's a little disappointing.

    Really liking my new Galaxy watch active. Got a great deal on it. Unfortunately the first one I bought died after 10 days. I took it back and they gave me a new one. It's been working great. Has a nice look to it, especially with my spigeon cover.

    This watch captures all information and is easily transcribed to my phone app. I enjoy the sleep log, the information captured also helps me keep up with my health and I can give more accurate information to my doctors. Loving it!!

    No issues so far, works as expected, only real issue is the steps are not accurate if recording through the day. When sitting using the computer it's counting steps, as long as that's not the reason for your purchase it works as expected.

    I love the notification and calling features on this watch. I don't have to pull out my phone to answer a text and can do this from my watch. I can also make calls from the watch. Plus, I can control the music from my watch, which is GREAT !!!

    I purchased this watch for my husband as I have one in silver already and love it. I used to have an iPhone and apple watch but when I switched to Samsung, it struggled to find a comparable smartwatch. Happy to say, this is it!

    Although I love the looks of this watch I am disappointed with the accuracy. The display is beautiful but I find myself in battery saving mode often. I do appreciate that it’s compatible with apple products.

    My former Galaxy Frontier battery died after only 3 or 4 years. It stopped charging. So, I bought the Active, because it cost a lot less than the Frontier and has all the same features! I enthusiastically recommend the Active!

    I love this watch. I upgraded from the gear s2 and thought u would miss the bezel feature but I dont at all. Love all the features. Only negative is if you use the continuous heart rate it drains the battery very quickly. I find myself charging it daily

    This was my first smartwatch and I thought it would be more beneficial. There are more limitations then I anticipated. Looks great and I really like the watch however, I think I just had extremely high expectations that could not have been met.

    Love all the features and how easy it was setup, but the blood pressure app that was supposed to be available on 03/15 was a fantasy. I bought this instead of the Fitbit because of the blood pressure app. I still love it but I wanted it for the blood pressure app.

    I got this watch to avoid pulling my phone out of my bag while traveling and it works perfectly. I can read texts and emails without a problem. It also logs my sleep with surprisingly accuracy.

    This is my First smart watch. I am still learning all the features. I really like that it is light weight and not so large that it looks like a hockey puck on my wrist. The battery life has been plenty for my needs and will be trying out many apps yet.
