    Keeps me on track

    I got this watch to keep track of my steps. It does so much more. It tells me about my sleep, my steps, exercise, my stress level, and much more. It even cheers me on, reminds me to move, and congratulates me when I reach a goal. On a recent car trip it noticed I hadn't moved and had me do some stretches that were easily completed in the car. I received many congratulations from my watch as I raced around Disneyland. It as also vibrates when I get too far from my phone and I rarely leave it on my desk now.

    I've had a Gear S2 for a while and very happy with it, but my battery doesn't last very long anymore. I wasn't looking for very fancy features and some of the features that came with the Gear models, like the mechanical rotating bezel, doesn't come in the newer models. I got this watch on sale and im pretty happy with it so far. Its a good replacement for my old watch! Super great value too for the price. And the color is beautiful, better than I thought!

    I am truly amazed at what this watch has done for me and all the components work. I have tried Fitbit and Fossil and had to return them in less than two weeks because they stopped working. This has done everything I needed it to do, track my workouts, communicate with the App at all times, communicate with my phone, long lasting battery, and allows me the comfort of looking pretty. I am so appreciative of this watch.

    Picked this watch up to go with my family of other galaxy watches. this one has to be the worst of the bunch. It looks great, and has the UI I'm used to, but the battery life is crazy low. Same settings and notifications as a S3 Frontier, the frontier will go for 3 days on a charge even a few years into its life. The Active will just make it a work day around 8ish hours.

    I like the new Galaxy Watch Active. It is very sleek looking and the round design gives it a more classy look than other smartwatches. The software is pretty good, but could use a little improvement. The step count seems accurate. The floor count is way off. The Samsung chats are filled with complaints about it; however, Samsung claims they have not had any negative feedback about it. Since that's a minor item on the watch, it's not enough to detract from the overall package. This is a good smartwatch!

    My husband got this watch to replace the previous version he had 2 years ago. The band broke and he could not get a replacement to stay on. The watch itself was still good, though. He loves this new upgrade. He likes the round face and it performs all the features as stated. Exactly what he wanted. He has had it for 2 mos and he keeps learning new features. He ran thru the house chasing our daughter and the activity app popped up a map so he could see his run!! LOL

    Great features. Got rid of my Fitbit, which was the same price, and this is a major upgrade. Plus this works with my Samsung Note 8.
