    It has a nice design . Very soft and lightweight. The setup was easy, pairing it with a Samsung phone. You need to have wireless earbuds to use some features since it has no speaker. It does the job and it is in a good price! I expected to receive a wireless charger as a gift since I preorder it, but it did not happen . I tried to enter Samsung website but I did not have the receipt since it was an online order. Now it is out of stock the 60$ gift charger. ..

    I bought this watch mainly for step tracking, but it does way more than that. It fits comfortably and can track your workouts and heart rate as well. Love it and would recommend to anyone.

    First of all, the watch is beautiful. It's very user-friendly and the ease of use is amazing. With all the different watch faces and settings, in addition to the interchangeable bands you can purchase, it's really customizable. The only thing I'll say is that the battery life is just okay. I charged it when it arrived and by hour 36 of wearing it, it was down to about 40%. Which means the battery life is only a couple of days. If you turn the vibrations off and the brightness down, you'll probably get 3-4 days, but what's the point of a smart watch if you can't see/read your notifications? Overall, good product and I would recommend it to a friend.

    Love this watch! I got it open box and paid less than $100. The only downside is no speaker but if you have wireless earbuds, this shouldn't be much of a prob.

    This watch does everything I want it to. It only connects via bluetooth so you can't talk through the watch or send texts without your phone close by but I did not need that. The app is very user friendly and the watch connects with fitness apps to track your progress easily and efficiently. What I was most impressed with is the durability of this watch. I'm a bartender, waitress and I work in corrections and this watch survived it all. It is definitely not the most complex watch offered nowadays but it is very reliable, comfortable, user friendly and a overall good starter watch!

    I bought this watch for my nephew. The display is great and readable even in very bright places. Feels comfortable and not heavy on the wrist. Connection to his phone was simple and works well. Different free displays to choose and more available for purchase. Purchase of a screen protector is a most. The more he shows me the things he can do with it, the more I want to buy one for myself too. It looks like in the world we leave now, there is nothing like too much information at your fingertips or in this case, at your wrist. Battery life with regular use last more than 36 hours.

    The watch works well so far, but it has abilities I've yet to explore. I'm excited to try it in the pool. I bought it without realizing it can track my activity even under water. Waterproofing is always an added bonus! Overall, it ia a convenient tool in lieu of taking out my phone, it is easy to operate, and it tells me when I've been sitting too long. Many of its capabilities I have not yet explored, but I am impressed for the most part. The negatives: Battery does not last as long as my Fitbit's does, so that is a drawback. Also, the distance for the bluetooth connection to my phone seems a bit shorter than I thought. Though, it lets me know I forgot my phone before I get too far.

    I purchased the older, bulkier watch and it never fit right and was heavy. This watch is much better for a smaller wrist. It's also lighter. Battery doesn't last quite as long though.

    I've had a good experience with the Galaxy Watch Active. At first, I was hesitant to spend that much until I thought, "I've spent more on watches that only tell time." As you'd expect, a watch is a very small platform for a touchscreen smart device, but all the apps I've used so far work very well. The only thing I could complain about is that the display doesn't always turn on just from turning my arm to look at the time. The strap is easy to replace if you want something different, and the original soft silicone band is much more comfortable than I expected. I also put on a protective cover, which hasn't affected the touch sensitivity at all.

    The samsung galaxy watch in Rose gold is a very easy to use smartwatch. The size and color is nice for a female to wear. The only disappointment is that it doesn't have a stopwatch built in.

    Was not sure about it at first due to its small size. However, it is has grown on me and a big improvement over my charge 2. However, I don't understand why it has such a big bezel. I would think they could have easily fit a 1.2 in screen on it and shrunk down the bezel a little bit. Also not sure how people can utilize the sleep feature when the watch would be lucky to last 2 days. I wouldn't want to risk the watch dying on the 2nd day by using the sleep feature. That will only be practical when the watch can last 3 days or more in my opinion.
