    I bought this watch for my mother and she loves it, it’s an upgrade from her Fitbit. She’s finding so many differences in the two, the galaxy watch definitely has more features and benefits then her old watch.

    Great addition to the Samsung watch line, disappointed with the blood pressure monitor that they sold the watch to all of us that it did come with it and no communication on when it will be out. Poor launch, but the watch is great.

    The Samsung Galaxy Active is a great smart watch. I monitor my exercise, walking swimming, sleep it does so many things. Keeps a record of all you want it to monitor. Looks great and you can change faces at will.

    I just love my new Galaxy Watch it has everything I was looking for. Also love the look! I was looking for something feminine looking to go with an everyday outfit. Different watch faces are a super bonus!

    I did a pre-order and picked it up on the day it came it. Easy to sync with my Samsung Galaxy. I had a Fitbit that broke this was an awesome upgrade and love the stress feature and when I'm inactive it reminds me to move. Love it..

    I have the Samsung sport and now I have Samsung Active. I love both watches. the Samsung Active is a bit lighter which is great. my only problem is that I wore both watches at the same time and notice each watch had a different step numbers.

    Good graphics, good size, good weight, good visibility under all light, little small for larger wrists, don't like the gray band but it does feel good on the arm. Creates a bit of sweat but all silicone bands will. Great style.

    The watch was very nice. I like the functions and the colors, etc. It didn't last very long, though. It stopped taking a charge.

    We bought this watch for our son as a present. He was excited to get it and wears it daily. He loves the feed back he gets on his workouts at the gym and says it works flawlessly with his Samsung phone and earbuds.

    I was hesitant to get a smartwatch but for my job it makes reading texts a lot easier than having my phone all the time. You have to dowload the timer on it but thats ok it was easy.

    This was a great product and it lasted me for a year it would have lasted longer if I didn’t get water in the watch and caused it to go blank just don’t get water in it

    I upgraded from a Gear Fit 2 which did not hold a charge. This watch keeps going for days without a recharge. The band stays snug against your wrist. The features if this watch are top notch. I love everything about my new watch.

    This was a great watch. Easy to function and maneuver through. The only thing was mine didn't hold a charge. Must of been a bad batch for the battery so we upgraded to the Active 2.

    Bought this a Christmas gift last year, she loved the ability that no calls or text were missed. Only downfall was the ability to answer calls on watch. Time to upgrade

    It’s great and useful. This is my third one. It better than gear pro 2. I had use gear pro 2 less than a year because of broke wristband twice. I hope that my third galaxy watch active is not break with wristband.

    I've had this on everyday for about half a year and this watch is showing absolutely no signs of wear. It is super easy to clean, easy to customize and does everything I need it to. Highly recommend this.

    Requested by my wife for mother’s day. She loves the functionality of the watch and color that matches her jewelry. She’s a Samsung junkie!! Waited 2-3 months to give an honest review. No glitches or issues since May 2019.

    This watch is definitely an upgrade from the gear fit pro 2. The many features that were added are an added bonus like the mic on it that you can talk into for making calls, etc. Switching out the bands is super easy too.
