    Good item for kids, my son is using it wisely for the activities he does. Seems to have decent features and still have not explored all of it. It was for my son and he likes it.

    Wife seems super pleased with this GEN 1 version of the watch. Apparently a lot of features from the 2nd version were updated to work on this device so, why not save a little dough?

    Issues staying connected to phone

    This is a pretty good watch. Except when it decides to not stay connected to your phone which is always within 2 feet of the watch. Then it vibrates every 10 seconds until you're ready to rip it off your wrist and throw it across the street. I go into the app and click connect and it does for 30 seconds, then it disconnects again. Hoping for a software fix to keep this from happening. But nothing yet. I've tried going into the 3 apps and clearing the caches, but nothing works.

    I love all Samsung products and I bought these watches for Christmas for me & my wife. The battery life is good, notifications work well. Cant talk through this model but that does not bother me.

    Love, love, love this product. I purposely chose Active without phone service. This watch tracks everything from food to swimming to sleep, and also syncs with phone for notifications.

    Pretty easy to use. It’s great for what I need for getting started losing weight. From setting goals for my water intake to steps. I can also just connect this to my iPhone.

    A great smart watch if you're looking for a few apps and pedometer. If you want full phone calls you'll need the more expensive one but it handles voice-to-text well.

    Bought this for my wife because she can't have her phone out at work. It connects to all of her messaging apps and it allows her to respond back. Fitness tracker is nice and plenty of apps and games.

    It's a great watch and it does what I need it to do. Samsung really impressed me with this watch. Light but a little big. That's the only issue I had. But I do have smaller wrists so that could be it too.

    The watch works for our teens. I like that they can feel vibration in theor wrist with a text or call vs needing to be paying attention to the phone in the pocket. Lots of faces to choose from. Easy to setup.

    Overall very happy with the product. Build quality feels solid and refined. Performance is consistently smooth and quick. Ends the day with 50% battery even with always on display and constant heart rate sensing.

    I really enjoy the way that the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active looks. I like the round design, rather than the squared-off look of some competitors. It also charges quickly.

    Good watch if you don’t need LTE service or blood pressure monitoring. Great value for the money. It does a good job and hasn’t let me down so far. It is better value than the Active 2.
