    Good for what it is

    Most of the features on this watch work very well. Texting features need serious improvement, though. Hard to send msgs as the screen doesnt recognize the handwriting feature very well at all and the keyboard function was obviously not a priority when designing the software. I do like the workouts, sleep tracker, music, and weather features. All-in-all, I like the watch, but I think it's a little pricey for the texting quality. It's almost like they set the price point first, and then the functionality was an afterthought.

    I am not a watch person, but I am a nurse, so it is kind of a necessity... this was perfect, its simple and doesn't get damaged after washing my hands multiple times a day!

    This is my wife's first ever smart watch, having previously owned a Fitbit. She loves that it does everything the Fitbit did, plus all of the watch faces to choose from and other apps.

    It's very good color and quality are great, the bad thing is that it has no speakers, so you can not use ringtone or answer calls directly

    The only small problem I have is the stress meter cuts off before it gives me my results. It might be something I can fix in the settings, but I love this better than my previous one.

    I wanted a smart watch, but not the high price tag that went along with it. When I saw this one, I instantly fell in love. It looked great, had options, and was a decent price to match.

    This is a good watch. I returned my because I wanted to have the mic to have the call feature. If someone doesn't care about that, then this watch will be great.

    This is a great watch for Android users. I like all the features it has to offer. The only thing I didn't like is it is thicker than an average watch and since I have a small wrist it is bulky.

    I have had my smart watch for three months. I really like and find it very helpful. I would not get a protective cover. It came off within the 1st week of having the cover put on.

    All of the info you get is pretty correct but the small screen, lack of battery life and no bezel meant this got traded up for the Galaxy Watch.

    This samsung size 40mm is great for ladies. The changeable watch face is fun for different occasions. It does have fitness apps, which accurately record calories, steps, etc.

    I have smaller wrists so was very happy to find the Galaxy Watch Active that is not so big as other smart watches. I'm still learning all the features but am greatly enjoying it.
