    So I enjoyed this product more thought. It's lightweight and easy to get a hang of. I use it mostly for work cause I cant always be with my phone so receiving and answering messages has been so much easier.

    Samsung watches are the best. You can't go wrong with either generation of the different models. The best feature is the ease of using Samsung pay at the check out counter.

    The watch is pretty much perfect my kids got it for me for a late mother's day gift, just wish it had answering calls availability, so if you want to answer phone calls from it you can you just have to be by your phone to do so.

    The watch is very light and easy to use. I use it mainly for fitness and tracking my steps. It's a great motivator and I can check my messages without pulling out my phone every second my phone buzzes.

    Great little watch. Everything I wanted and more. Has a 2 day charge, which to me is fine because I charge at night regardless. Would reccomend for those that wanna keep up with steps, stress levels, & heart rate.

    Love this watch! The only thing that bummed me out about this, is that I'm not able to answer my phone calls (I have a Google pixel) with it unless I grab my phone and actually answer it. Otherwise, it has everything I need!

    Finally Samsung released a smart watch that fits a woman’s wrist. No only is this watch super easy to set up and use, it’s also cheap compared to its competitors yet does the same if not better than its counterparts. Worth the buy

    This is my first smartwatch. I have found it easy to use with many options for customization. It pairs well with my Samsung phone, and they work very well together. I am happy with this watch.

    Much better interface than her Gear Fit Pro. Personally, I prefer the physical bezel of Galaxy Watches, because it gives the screen bezel. The Active 2 also has a screen bezel, but at least it's functional.

    I bought it more than a year ago. It was almost everything that I had looked for and wanted, from the look to its functionality. Battery was the only minor drawback. Just this afternoon, after coming out of washing my hair (not a full body shower), I found out my watch died. Screen was completely black (full charged like 30 min. ago). This watch is NOT waterproof. DO NOT wear it to the pool or wear it in the shower. I found out the hard way.

    Watch works so well with a Samsung Note 8! Really love the interface with the phone. A little complicated to learn how to use all the features but well worth the time spent. Getting one for my wife for Hanukah!

    Lots of watch faces to make personalisation fun. Heart rate is accurate. Blood pressure is close to cuff accuracy most of the time. Battery life not that good.

    Nice watch, but worth your money

    I've owned many Samsung products, their phones are my favorite, but they are glitchy sometimes. This watch is no different. My issues began when I first tried to connect, and the watch would not sync to my phone correctly, when it finally did connect, the connection was broken easily ( with movement, or every time I disconnected because I was away from my phone, I would have to manually connect the watch again and again with great difficulty). I had to get a replacement charging cord, and since this watch is not compatible with any other cord on the market, and SAMSUNG ITSELF does not sell the cord separately, I used the store bought warranty to get a whole new watch (just to get a new charging cord). The next watch connected to my phone seamlessly, I enjoyed using the watch for about 6 months, then the battery all of the stopped holding a charge for more than 3 hours (on power saving mode) this time I had to use the manufacturer's warranty, and because I had a 0.5 mm chip in the side of the display (which did nothing to impair the watch itself), I was notified that the manufacturer's warranty would not cover anything unless I paid $120 to fix the perfectly functional screen before they would work on fixing the faulty battery. So I've owned this watch for about 9 months, and used it about 5 months, wasted hours on the phone with SAMSUNGS UTTERLY TERRIBLE customer service, and I'm beside myself for wasting my money. Spend yours on a more durable watch with a better warranty policy.

    I love this watch. It is comfortable and I'm rough at work. It still looks great. Pretty decent battery life as long as you charge it overnight. Will be buying the screen protector for it this week.

    Watch does what it's supposed to but the battery dies within a day. I missed the return window because we were quarantined for 28 days so I'm just stuck with it.
