    I've owned my Samsung Galaxy for 2 years, so I had to buy this one for my husband on his birthday. He likes it allot. The only small downside is the battery only lasts 2 days. It's easy to recharge, so it's really not an issue. It does everything my older watch does, and it does them faster. This watch is sleek & lightweight, and looks great. We highly recommend this Galaxy watch!

    Love how easy watch is to operate, displays are easy and very visible to read. also love all the features and apps. only complaint battery last about 2 days before it has to be recharged. i would highly recommend to others. my previous two watches were fit versa and fitbit versa 2 which i had problems with after using it a while. the shipment time was quick and love that I could buy extra Geek warranty.

    We got this watch for my wife. She really wanted an activity tracker to help her to become more active in life, but also something that was stylish that she could wear to work without all the bright colors or bulky faces of some other activity smart watches out there. She is very happy with this watch! It connects to her phone and displays the notifications she can choose, and is helping her to track her steps and workouts as well. Great buy!

    My wife recently ditched Apple for the galaxy land of sweets. She ended up taking my equipment and giving me her Apple equipment. But she did not like my gear S to because it seemed too manly for her so she decided to upgrade and get this more feminine rose gold watch. She has gotten compliments on this thing daily. It tracks your sleep it tracks for exercise does everything she needs and we’ve had no problem out of it. It’s an excellent product.

    I Have been wearing it a week so far. The construction is above what I expected. It's a solid watch and very light. The screen is a lot like any other watch crystal. It feels great on my wrist. I can sleep in it no problem. It doesn't move around, and the sensor on the bottom stays flush with my wrist. It has all the functions I need for fitness and time management. I'm using it with a Pixel XL. No issues with syncing. The app store could be better, but it's worth it.

    it works well with samsung phones. decent array of useable apps. tons of watchfaces both free and paid. not much of a watch person so it has to have usefulness for me to wear one. the main benefit is the fitness tracking though its just as inaccurate for steps as every other watch. it does automatically track cycling though so that was cool. if you want a watch that gets updates from the manny and is useful even with samsung pay heres a good choice

    This watch has the same features as my Apple watch but was half the price. I prefer this one as there are many options online to customize the band and bezel, and also has alot of protection options. Definitely get a screen protector! Only con is you cannot hold a phone conversation on it, but I personally don't want my watch putting my calls for everyone to hear. It has every other feature you could want!!

    I didn't really know if I would get a lot of use out of this watch, but my son loves his Galaxy watch so much that I thought, "Why not?" Well, as someone who sits in front of a computer all day the first thing I enjoyed about this watch were the reminders to get moving, whether it's getting up and walking or just a simple torso twist, it's been making a daily difference for me. Then there is the step counter, it's like a game to see if you can beat the previous days steps. But, today, I learned the most valuable tool on this watch, at least for me. I have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for the past few years and usually I can sense the signs before it's full blown, but there are other times when they just seem to hit full blast without warning. I have had to be rushed to the ER a few times because of them, which doesn't help with using calming tools for future ones when you are in the midst of one. Enter this watch!!! It has a stress monitor, which is fine in itself, but I found the breathe exercise function very handy. I was hit with a pretty intense attack this afternoon, I have medication for it but that only helps if I feel it come on and not so much while I'm in the midst of one. My Doctor has always wanted me to try breathing excercises, but if you've ever suffered from panic attacks you know that's easier said than done. Bottom line, with my watch telling me when to inhale and exhale it really helped me concentrate on my breathing and I was able to self soothe myself out of it. Really happy I made this purchase...even if the new Active2 came out just a week later. (Story of my life, LOL)

    I have had this watch for a year and half now. It is the best active wear and smart watch for the price. You can go on your runs without your phone and it will track everything for you. The battery life is excellent. The smart replies for texts works decent enough but not every reply is good.
