    Christmas gift for my girlfriend, she absolutely loves it. She has smaller wrists and smart watches tend to look very big on her, but this one she says fits perfectly.

    Has many advantages over Apple's version and android wear. New internal hardware and smooth OS with plenty of features and continued updates from Samsung. Very happy with awesome purchase.

    I was looking to upgrade my Fitbit and this watch is perfect! I didn’t want to have to pay for another phone line and since this one is Bluetooth I didn’t have too. I’m very happy with my purchase.

    I love how you easy you can add music and how easy to use it. The band that comes with the watch isn't hard very flexible. I'm satisfied with this watch and it's a very classy and beautiful watch.

    Don't get me wrong I like the watch designs that are coming out. They are more wearable and look nicer but they don't have sounds! I had the geo (square watch) when it came out and I loved it! It shower the messages and other apps like this one. This one doesnt have sound! I looked every where for it and couldn't get it to work so I had to return it unfortunately. I really wanted a Samsung watch but if it doesnt have a speaker I will have to pass. I like to be able to answer my calls and not have to use my phone (mother of 2 small ones) Its east to set up and use just no sound :( for me

    Works great with Samsung galaxy phone. Turn off wifi for a longer battery life since the watch draws notifications over bluetooth. Can't recognize working out on a treadmill as it only recognize it as steps tho.

    Wife bought it to replace a Fitbit. I mentioned how much I liked my gear sport. It was too masculine for her taste. The active had all the features she wanted and the appearance that she liked.

    So glad I purchased this watch! I have been wanting one for a long time. It does more than keep time: sleep pattern; walking, exersise; heart rate and stress.

    This watch works nicely with my Samsung smart phone. I haven't used all the features but so far I am happy with the watch. It does "nag" me to stand or breathe but I can ignore those reminders.

    By far the best Christmas present that I have gotten for my mother she is so happy cause this watch is a lot faster than the gear sport and it's brighter and it's more stylish for fashion.
