    It is a very decent product. A tech device that is very convenient for screening calls, and answering the phone without the hassle of wrestling with your phone. Very decent product as I stated.

    Everything about the watch is great, far better than my previous fitbit versa and apple watches. The only annoying thing is the app the you have to download being a little confusing

    To be honest, I bought 3 units for my grandkids for Christmas, so I just have to wait after Christmas for them to tell me. Wish I could be more specific. Until then

    I have owned most Samsung watches. This is by far the best one I have used. Battery life is great and on par with the Gear S3, The tracking features have improved a lot. The charging is also fast!

    The kids knew how to use it better than myself; so I feel like I don't use it to it's full capacity. It picked up my workout and did well in the pool. And it is durable thusfar, as I am not a gentle person.

    Pretty decent watch

    It's alright, one of the biggest flaws is the straps on the watch. After using it daily for regular use as well as working out, the straps color starts to like fade away. As if though the material that it's made with is cheap or something. Kinda sucks that they're made like this....you spend a pretty penny on something like this, and it looks like you've had it for years after 2 month...but like I said, the watch itself is pretty decent. Which is why I've kept it this long....might return it though, now that I'm writing this...

    I bought this watch as a birthday gift for my wife and she loves it. She likes the GPS option in the watch because it will track her outdoor activity with map and uploads it to her fitness app.

    I had a versa and it died on me. I purchased the galaxy active and love it. I love being able to text, read text, and change the watch face. Very nice look and good price.

    So I treated myself to this thinking it was going to LOVE it considering I loved my fitbit versa....well I like that it has Samsung Pay, and you can text back more than just basic pre-typed messages but it disconnects for my phone so so so often, I don't even have to be that far from it and it goes in to watch only mode. The second thing I don't like is that if I put one of my pictures it doesn't show the date!!! What??? Yeah I really want to love it but it's really hard to texted back considering it disconnects so often...i miss my fitbit!!

    I purchased this watch when it was on sale with my galaxy S10+. It's actually more convenient than I even expected. My only complaint is charging it off the back of my S10+ with power share is very tedious.

    I have a Galaxy Watch and love it. This one was for my wife which replaced her fitbit. Excellent upgrade and works seamless with other Samsung products. No complaints as of yet other than Bixby functions.

    The watch has all the features I need, but I am consistently having to charge it (daily). My previous gear allowed me 2 days before I ever had to charge it

    I came across this watch and it reminds you to get up and start moving when you have sat down for a long time. This watch does what it states in the summary. I recommend this watch.

    I loved the color and it was a lot of fun to have this watch. It did not work for me because I could not see the text very well. Also, it didn't pick up all of my movements when I was working out.

    Great display, but the health functions are tied to Samsung's Health apps for the most benefit. Wish it was open and worked better with Google Fit or other applications without jumping through hoops.
