    I got this for my mom when it was on sale and she has been impressed since she first put it on. Easy Bluetooth connection with phone and easy navigation through watch interface.

    I was leery about getting this new watch. I absolutely love it! I love the color the watch face and not haveing to turn the dial. I can just swipe left or right.

    Great fitness watch with a lot of smart watch features. It uses some of the features you might expect and quite a few you don't like call information, stand alone use, and full fitness applications. I highly recommend.

    Great design, build and feel. Best water resistant smart watch (can swim with it). Highly inaccurate calorie counter, pedometer, etc. GPS is accurate but slow to start.

    This is my first smart watch and so far so good. Use it to track my exercise (walking only these days) and to have a way to see phone messages etc. I think it is a great 1st smart watch.

    Bought this for working out. Does an excellent job tracking my runs and while swimming laps. Figuring out how to change some of the measurements (such as pool length) can be kind of tricky.

    For the money this is definitely one of the best smartwatches on the market. If you're already a part of the Samsung world than this purchase should be a no-brainer over other smartwatches. Definitely recommend.

    Good entry level smartwatch. Works well when paired with a Samsung device. Only complaint is no onboard speaker so no calls or audible notifications, but that is to be expected at the price point.

    Great functionality and design. Very durable as well, sustains drops and sliding against other hard surfaces with no damage or minimal scratches. My first smart watch so difficult compare.

    My Son loves the notification and calling features on this watch. He doesn't have to pull out his phone to answer a text. His favorite part of the watch is that he can control the music from his watch.

    Purchased for my daughter. She ❤ loves it. It was a present to her. She uses it almost everyday. It fits her small wrist. I might get one for myself. It's super cute.

    Comes with a lot of features. However the -1 star is due to samsung not having the same vast functionality built in as other Android watches. Overall well built and does the job.

    This watch is awesome, I got it knowing that it dosent have an audio output. So no phone calls or music from it. And that is just fine, it does everything you want and some. Very strong face.

    Got this as a gift for my wife's birthday! It's unfortunate that they didn't include some sort of rotating bezel in this model, but the look and functionality are still there

    Awesome watch. I got this on sale just before Christmas and it was just what I needed. The only thing I dont like is the proprietary charger when everything else out there is moving toward USB-C.

    This is my second Samsung watch. My Gear 2 had a dial and it was a little easier to manage than this but the active watch has some expanded features like the health summary widget.

    This watch has many more features then a fit bit. My son really enjoys the stress level feature and fitness tracker. You can call and message from the watch, and listen the tour favorite music too!
