    I was really pleased with this watch. Easy to set up. Notifications work every time. I was able to personalize it very quickly and have it just like i want it. The size is perfect and i don't miss the external movable bezel. I think this is a winner. A few things that keep it from perfection. The calorie count is too high. The sleep numbers are inconsistent. That's it. All other measurements are right on.

    I recently began being active again and this has really helped me restart my journey. I love that it registers how many flights of stairs I've climbed as well as tells me when I've been idle for too long. I can text from it but I don't like that the pictures are not as clear as I'd like. I wear it every day and honestly dont even have my phone ringer on. I know I have notifications from my watch.

    This is the best overall Smartwatch available! I have tried every Smartwatch brand, besides Apple, and the Galaxy Active is by far the best overall; functionality and cost combination. It has all the features a Smartwatch should have, good battery, all the tracking on a really nice companion app (3rd party apps available as well) and everything works great! Highly recommend buying this watch!

    I bought this watch for my girlfriend with a new S10 lite and she loves them both. It really matches her style, she loves the color of it and it matches with phone quickly. She enjoys using the fitness benefits of the watch like step counter, sleep tracker and it's keeping her active and moving. The size is just perfect for her and she couldn't love it more.

    Does everything I need it to, and is very uniform and fitting with that premium feel to it so I love it. Biggest complaint is that the screen scratches way too easily. The other galaxy watches have a big bezel that keeps the acreen from touching surfaces, this one doesn't. So keep in mind it wilk scratch up all over. Also, for many this might be a big deal but for me it isn't: there is no speaker so keep in mind!

    Everyone seems to have a apple watch .... but I prefer this style. I t appears to be more conventional. It has been reliable and has good battery life- I can get 2 days (If I turn it onto sleep mode overnight). It seems responsive and quick. No real problems with connecting to my smartphone (Android / Motorola). I would consider purchasing again

    This replaced an inexpensive step tracker I purchased. This watch does it all and more. It synchs with my work to allow me to earn HSA rewards by being healthy. It has made keeping up with my steps, exercise, and sleep a no brainer. The cost of the watch pales to what my HSA rewards earned are. I highly recommend this watch. I admit I am a novice.

    I bought this watch as a birthday gift for myself. It is very easy to learn how to use it, and the smaller size fits my small wrist very well. I really appreciate being able to respond to calls/texts without having to get to my phone, which is helpful when I'm on a situation where I can't pick up my phone (work, etc). This watch has solidified my affection for Samsung products.

    This is a great watch for someone who doesn't want or need all the bells and whistles of the more advanced galaxay watch. I bought this for my wife and it is perfect for her. Keeps track of her steps, excercise and heartbeat. Gets notifications and allows gwr to send texts as well.Looks great on her .Definetely recommend.

    Great picture, but the battery life on this watch is not great at all! It lasts about 24-32 hours and you will need to charge after a day. The features are great like an upgraded FitBit. I recommend it, but hope they can do something with the battery life. Also, wish we could speak on the watch like the bigger version. I do enjoy the size of the face as it's much smaller that the bigger version.

    Samsung is the best at almost everything and it is no surprise that they're killing the smart watch game too. This watch is very nice and stylish as well as perfect for tracking fitness and doing all the basucs that my smartphone can do. I love all the colors but went with the rose gold and couldn't be happier. I look forward to the next smart watch they release since they're all so good

    I love this watch for the most part. I like the various functions and apps on it. The only thing I dislike about it is the battery life. I owned 3 fitbit watches prior to purchasing this watch. All of them fell off my wrist at some point (I have no idea where they are). I have had no issues with this watching falling off my wrist or becoming loose.

    My wife has been using this for a while now. I really like the User Interface and the features that it supports. Many themes add to your motivation for wearing it most of the time. The only complaint heard so far, the battery is draining more rapidly than before, so it will need a charge everyday for sure.

    I was happy to purchase this watch instead of the $400 one. But in my opinion it is just okay. I lost my phone and when i had tried to look for it using find my phone. It never worked, also the notes from my phone never saved on my watched so when i lost it there was no restoring my notes. And only compalint is wish it had a faster way to scroll through things ( such as a turn thing on the dial or face).
