    Been trying this watch out for a little over a week now and it's awesome. From customizing my watch face to operating my Spotify music. This watch has almost everything I want. The only thing I wish it could do is have 2 way talk for phone calls but I can live without that. It has real time notifications straight from your phone and setting up was really easy!

    I bought the open box floor model. It is in perfect condition. Two things I noticed was the charger and books were obviously used but not damaged. Missing the book sleeve and the cable was unwound. The watch was 100% dead on opening. Took about 2 hours to charge it. But so far im very happy and i saved money too! Would definitely buy open box again.

    I absolutely love this watch! I love that you can customize the face (easily), edit and add widgets, and pick your exercise. The sleep tracker is a little off, but you can easily edit your true sleep time. Bands are very easy to change. Battery doesn't last a week, but that could be because I forget to turn off my bluetooth. I am really enjoying the watch. Highly recommend.

    Replaced an earlier model Samsung Galaxy smart watch. It was a good move. I like being able to track my heart rate and my sleep, as well as my activities or lack of. I like rthe reminders to move! My only concerns are battery doesnt last as long as I thought it would and not easy to charge using my phone.

    I bought this galaxy watch active for my mom’s birthday. She really liked it and she said it’s very easy to use and she was amazed by the design because it’s not busy. It is very light weight. She was very impressed about what it can to monitor her health like the bpm and the number of steps she made. Total device of simplicity and reliability. My mom loved it and so am I.

    The best purchase I have ever invested in, it lets me know when I need to drink water, get up and move around. Keeps track of my sleeping record, heart rate, exercise and more. Just getting started to using this very cool watch to meet activities I need it for, and enjoy having a new positive quote when I look at it.

    I have finally defected over from Fitbit! My fourth Fitbit watch gave out and although I really liked the watch, I was disappointed that it didn't even last 14 months. Since I have had a Samsung Galaxy for quite some time, I decided to research the watch. Really good reviews; plus at the very least I figured the watch would sync well with my phone. I went with this model instead of the Active 2 for price point only. I waited a month prior to writing the review to give me time to get familiar with the watch. I wish I had switched over sooner! The galaxy is easier to use, has more apps, and holds a longer charge than the Fitbit. Besides me missing the square shape of the Fitbit, the only other minor issue that I have had is that I am having trouble getting the watch face to stay in tact. I program the watch face that I like in settings, but it seems to change on its own to something else. I know that I'm active and bump around another, but I seem to have to reset the watch face constantly. No issues with functionality. Not sure how long this watch will last. I have already decided that the Active 2 will be my next smart watch. I purchased 3 too many Fitbits!

    First time buying a smart watch like this and it is great! its so cute and the battery doesn't really last that long but it I guess it depends what kind of like display you have on, I assume some drain your battery more because they're animated but its so handy and it has so many apps and widgets you can install from your phone.

    I'm totally in love with my Galaxy smart watch. Very easy to program and learn, I've downloaded more screen savers for absolutely free. Not like Apple were you have to pay for everything you download. I'm so happy I waited for this new style smart watch to be released. No regrets at all I would recommend this watch for first time users or very experienced users also.

    This product is not too big but has a practical sized screen. Download different clock face plate screens and connect to your phone. I gave as a gift and my friend loved it but due to her pacemaker had to return it as she kept resting her arm on her chest and it interferes with the pacemaker - otherwise it’s a great product - love the design and look of the rose gold!

    I have had this watch for about a month now. I find that the battery is sufficient for me. I charge it nightly with my phone and use it for call, messages and activity. (Usually last me 2 full days before needing charge when I dont charge nightly). It's very comfortable for all day wear and is convenient to quickly view notifications.

    My wife loves the watch

    My wife was using the Galaxy S2 Watch and did felt it was too large for her wrist. For that reason, she did not want to upgrade to the Galaxy Watch (42mm). I use the 46mm GW and am familiar with the operation of the newer Samsung Watches. The GW Active paired easily with her Note 9 and is a lot more accurate tracking her heart rate, steps, sleep and such than her old watch. The small size is very nice for her as it is unobtrusive on her wrist and she is able to do normal mom activities without worry. The waterproof feature means she can bathe the kids or do some dishes without taking it off (and then wondering where it went) and she can also go swimming with it. The lack of a rotating bezel took some getting used to, but only a day or so she reported. I would have thought the lack of a speaker or mic would have been a big deal, but not so. I use the phone feature on my GW all the time, but her phone is usually closer by. Strangest thing we have seen is one day she forgot her phone at home while going to work. Her watch jumped on her work wifi and she was able to text me without issue. I say strange because we figured the phone needed to be on the same network. So far, this watch is a winner. Be sure to get it with the Geek Squad protection plan. Really a no-brainer.
