    I bought this watch as an upgrade from the original Galaxy Watch that I was wearing and I was not disappointed. The watch is very lightweight and the interface is much better than the older version. The only complaint I have is that the standard watch band it comes with is not great, but it is so easy to switch out to a new one.

    Got it for my son for tracking his steps as he is on a cross country team. Works well n with his phone. No speaker but for the price I think it was worth it. Battery is decent n it’s very light to wear. Bought it used like new condition n it looks brand new. Lots cheaper than buying new. Good option for younger kids but prob hold off for 1 that has built in speaker

    Best Android Watch Hands Down

    Ok, forget the bezel. You don’t need it. The swipes work just fine with this one. It’s super fast, has great color options and is pretty dang cheap. Not to mention it’s extremely thin. Thinner than my Apple Watch. I just wish they had a bigger size option in the same format. I have big wrists and this does look a little small. Not too bad though. I highly recommend this one. Hopefully the Galaxy Watch 2 takes notes from this active!

    I gave this watch a 3 star due to battery. I have tried everything to save the battery, however, with only text and messenger alerting to the watch, the battery lasts only 24 hours if lucky. Other then that complaint the watch is great. Wish they had cloth bands however, but those are easy to switch out.
