    The Galaxy watch has been a great way to keep in touch with things without having to get the phone or hold it in my hands. Love the health and fitness monitor features as well.

    This is a good smartwatch. Got it for my kid. Doesn't have some of the bells and whistles some of the more expensive watches have, but it's good value for the money...

    The watch came in beautiful condition and functioned as expected. What is not made clear by samsung or best buy is that you CANNOT make phone calls using the original samsung active. The speaker capabilities are in the active2 only despite what seems to be instructions in the active owners manual on how to use your watch to talk on the phone, and only refers to needing to use the phone itself when connected "remotely" but alas... with no speaker... no phone calls. Return process was painless and the active2 is perfect.

    They were gifts for my great nieces who turned 18 and graduated the same month. I wanted something special, memorable, that they would use. They loved them.

    Samsung makes your wrist friend feel like family. You charge it every couple days and it's always there for you. I love my wrist friend. One day we will be wrist family.

    I have bought the cheaper sport watches and they were horrible. They either didn't work properly or were not accurate. This watch does everything I want it to do and more.

    Just an okay device. No ECG.

    Overall, just an OK watch. It loses it's "new toy" appeal pretty quickly. Samsung sales people will say the watch has ECG (heart rhythm monitoring, different from heart rate) like the Apple Watch, but it doesn't. The watch doesn't turn on when you make the corresponding gestures, which is frustrating. The screen doesn't stay on a specific app while I'm working out, so I'm constantly tapping buttons to see time, performance stats, etc. It's great for steps, heart rate, stress management, but many devices can do these basics for far less money.

    I was not sure about the round face, this has been a easy transition getting used to it. The watch is very light weight also the feel of watch band very soft and comfortable.

    Everytime I placed the order or requested replacement, BB ended up sending me refurbished items. And the worst part is that they stated that it is not. In one case, there was handful of scratches on the screen and back of the watch. I guess now that these are outdated, don't try to buy them and if you do, note that it will be refurbished!
