Looks nice, holds charge, good price point. This is my second one.

This active watch was super easy to set up with my Samsung phone and it's nice looking as well. The watchband tucks into itself nicely. It is easy to read all the text messages as well. This is certainly an upgrade from my fitbit tracker. The thing I don't like it the battery life. Only a day and a half. You will want to purchase a screen protector for it.

Beautiful watch. Works very well. Love it. Looks and feel refined.

Love that the watch is not to big like the other Samsung watches! Works great!

i have used all galaxy smart watch, like this for size, comfort and it's style

fits nice looks smaller on the face, than shown, but still good.

I like the overall style of the watch, but it is pretty complicated to use. I don't like that my screen turns on anytime something touches it but when I tap it with my finger it doesn't come on. The battery seems to run down pretty quick. I like that I can answer text messages on it, but it is frustrating when it doesn't recognize what I am typing.

I have been mostly satisfied with this watch. There are many free watch faces to choose from including fancier looking faces to sporty ones. Works well when connected to a Samsung device and passes notifications easily. Only gripe I have is that the heart rate monitor doesn't work well if its not really tight during workouts and gets wet from sweat.

Loved my Galaxy Active. Gives you many faces and is good for tracking many activities, from steps, to swimming, to hiking many people's favorites....although the battery last a day to a day and a half only, not the 5 day's they say. DON'T DO MY MISTAKE I had insurance so I returned the first one thinking it was defective only to pay for insurance again and find out it was not defective. Lol

Have tried other Samsung watches before without much success, primarily because the HR monitor did not accurately track my heart-rate. The Watch Active does quite well in that regard. It is small and light, which I like. I've been using it on my runs and it tracks well (comparable to my Garmin Vivoactive HR). Smart notifications work great. Very pleased with the Galaxy Watch Active.

So, overall if you're wanting a fitness tracker stick with FitBit. If you're wanting a tracker with more smart watch type features this might be for you. It was a toss up between this and the FitBit Versa. I went with this due to wanting more smart watch type features. This is not a smart watch though. You can respond to texts, but it doesn't really like it when you use any other app besides the Samsung Messages app. It's a Samsung device after all. So, if you don't have a Samsung phone I wouldn't even consider this. You have to have two apps to run it. One is the Wearables app, and then the Samsung Health app. The Health app is trying to he like the Fitbit app, buy not quite there. I get where Samsung is going, but needs work. So, I'd say go with a Fitbit if you're here for the health tracking, and battery life. 2 days max on this thing. Now the good stuff. The screen is amazing, and the watch face customization is great. The water resistantance to 50 meters is great, and the heart rate monitor seems pretty accurate. I do not regret my purchase, but buy a Fitbit.

This is a great alternative to the main Samsung watch. Really the only thing it can’t do is let you talk on it. We bought this as a gift for my mother-in-law and she didn’t care about the ability to talk on it. She just wanted to be able to see who was calling her without taking her phone out during work, in case it was an emergency. It is very nice looking and easy to use.

This watch is just the right size. It was easy to learn and love how it looks.

keep track of your steps, heart rate, play games get emails etc

Very easy to use, and it's very comfortable. My wife loved it.

This watch has the potential to be really great but in my opinion it falls short in some categories. It really offers nice things that a smartwatch should.... reading text, reading emails, seeing phone calls (can't answer them through the watch), tracking sleep, counting steps, heartrate, etc. But I was very sad to realize that if I wanted the watch to get my text messages, I had to use the standard messaging app from the phone. That app is not my first choice to use so it's a bummer I had to change over to it. Then the battery life on this is pretty bad. I have to charge it every day and a half. I've got the brightness turned down to 3 and it doesn't continuously do my heartrate or anything else. But still the battery doesn't last. Lastly, the band on this makes my wrist sweat and the back of the watch face has left a red mark on my arm. And no, I don't have it on too tight. I've only owned a Fitbit before so that's all I have to compare to. All in all, if you can deal with a short battery and not so great band, it's a decent smartwatch.

Great easy to use. Look great very comfortable feel
