    Ended up returning, due to size, but a great watch

    The features on this watch are great and it's very easy to setup. However, I returned due to it being a small size on my wrist. If that's not an issue for you, you'll love the watch!

    Really good watch. Every now and then the heart rate doesn’t track throughout a workout. Besides that, it’s a really good watch for someone who has a Samsung galaxy phone.

    Great features! The apps are great, especially tracking exercises and heart rate. Very easy to use and syncing with my phone is easy. The band also feels soft. I have gotten lots of compliments.

    My only issue is it only came with a quick start guide. I have to download the guide in order for me to learn all about my watch. For the price paid the guide should have been included.

    It was so worth making the choice for the Samsung Galaxy Active Watch vs the FitBit to replace a Fitbit that died. This watch doe SO MUCH MORE, for the SAME PRICE!!!

    It tracks my workouts, notifications are smooth, changes my spotify track with a simple touch. Got this gift for xmas and I love it. Only downside is you can't take calls on the watch.

    I bought this for my wife for her birthday. She has previously owned an Apple Watch and loves this much better. She says the charging is far more rapid and the battery lasts linger

    This watch has been great! Small but not too small. Battery lasts on average 2 days. Beautiful screen, comfortable band(especially for sleep tracking), easy to use. Great companion for my S10+.

    I bought it to use a golf caddie app during golf games. For this purpose it is fine for everything although it is an older version to Active 2 or Watch 3.

    I like that it can easily track my workouts and calories. Easy to use, just wish you could change the settings and sensitivity. Nice that it's touch screen and easy to use

    I love this watch. But DO NOT use a different charger. Only use the one that came with it. I learned the hard way by frying the battery. Don't be me lol

    I couldn't be happier with my Galaxy Active watch and the employee was so helpful that I was able to make a very confident decision as to what smart watch to purchase. Thank you Best Buy!

    This watch does so much more than a Fitbit. It has everything I need and I would buy it again. This is my second Samsung watch and it works great with my Note 8 phone.
