    If you need that extra kick in the butt to be active, get this watch. Bpm is accurate because it matched my reading at the doctor.

    Love this watch and all is functions, as well as the look and feel! The only complaint I have is that, I feel like the heart rate doesn't update quick enough.

    So far, the best galaxy watch I'm owned. Does everything the big boys can do, but at a lower price and smaller version.

    Love the round shape, however I changed the wrist straps to a chain because it was itchy as it was not breathable or something with the original strap.

    It was on sale for a good price. Still learning how to adjust because the screen comes on all the time when i'm working not purposely trying to see the face.

    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 I guess now that these are outdated, don't try to buy them and if you do, note that it will be refurbished!

    She loves this watch so much. I also got her interchangeable bands. She says it is very easy to use and she doesn't have the easiest time using new electronics.

    I enjoy this device very much. Fitbit trackers have broken numerous times and just gone down hill. I'm happy to have found this reasonable and working alternative.

    The watch band is very comfortable. My previous smart watch band was more rigid. Thus band feels like a regular watch band. Easy to operate. Definitely value for money.

    Simple and easy to use and set up. Good battery and has been very complementary to me and my lifestyle. I’ve got several complements on how nice the watch looks overall.

    Glad Samsung made the Gear Watch Active as I enjoy the features of the Gear watch but the tracking features of the Gear Fit2 Pro. Also the battery life is amazing!
