    Still getting use to the app after using a Garmin's for the past 3 yrs,but loving the watch itself. Does everything I need it too. Seems to be tracking my steps pretty accurately. Can download your music directly to the watch so you can be away from your phone! Only thing I wish it had was a longer battery life. It last me about a day and a half on a full charge.

    It is great watch and I got it for the color. I enjoy the timer options for work, and the fact that the calrity of calls are a plus. I do feel that battery life could use another 1hr or 2hr for MY usage but it does get me about 9hrs before charging or putting it on power saving.

    I tried the other Samsung Galaxy watch and had a reaction to it and it seemed too big and bulky but this sport one is great! Not having any problems with it but still learning new things on it. I need to find a better app to show the date since the home screen just has the time. I love that you can put your own pic on the home screen and can have rotating pics.

    My husband wanted a smart watch but not one that was super bulky. He absolutely loves this watch and wears it everyday. He likes that he can see and reply to text messages without having to take his phone out of his pocket. He always wore a fitness tracker and this has pretty much all of the same features and more.

    This watch is awesome, it does everything you think it can do and even things you don’t. I preordered the watch and received it just in time for my annual 3 day hike, the graphs and data it provided beat out all the other watches and tech others brought along. My only con is battery life, it isn’t bad ( it is still a five star watch) just wish it was better.

    I love the watch except for two problems with it. The first being that I bought it because I wanted a watch that monitored my blood pressure. Even those it was advertised as such it doesn’t, only heart rate. Additionally, the battery run down very quickly. The length is approximately a day and a half. Very disappointing. I’ve had cheaper trackers that run for days.

    Bought as a gift for the wife, she really likes the styling compared to an apple watch and says she's relieved lots of compliments. Battery life is so so and you have to download multiple app stores as per any convoluted Samsung device. But overall this was a decent buy.

    Got this for my husband. He loves it. He uses it to monitor his sleep, steps, heart rate, workouts, and all. The only thing we find could use improvement is the battery life. I also have one and although we have different uses, the one thing in common is having to charge them every other night. We would love to have to do this every third night.

    The smart watch looks great compare to previous generations. The design is more towards fashion than sports which works great for moms. The new sleep tracking feature can track 4 different stages of sleep now. Along with full GPS tracking, heart rate monitor and other useful features, this makes a great smart watch with style.

    Great watch, able to customize watch facing, does everything I need and want it too, only draw back is the battery doesn't last more than 24 hrs unless its kept in power saving mode which doesn't allow usage for a lit of features. With that said it does pick up on exercises like running and walking without have to select the exercise icon

    Works great, especially for me since I use it for running. I also listen to music while I'm running through the watch, which is why I'm so happy with it. Battery life isn't the best, so thats why I rate this with 4 stars. The watch works great with a daily morning charge though.

    I love my Active smartwatch. It feels great on my hand, its not to big and the UI is incredibly responsive. For a none, android user I could see how they would find some of the integration issues annoying, but as someone who is fully engrossed in Samsung products, this watch is exactly what I needed.

    I like my new Active Smartwatch... I just wish it was compatible with more of the apps that I'm connected with and that the batter lasted longer. I read the review before purchasing, but didn't check my apps. The one thing I liked about it was that you could put it in water lock mode while swimming. A big plus for while I'm in my pool.

    I have had this watch for almost a month now at the time of writing this review and it's been great. This is my first smart watch and it linked up to my Android phone in a jiffy albeit a handful of downloads but that comes with the territory of activating a new device, apps, logins, etc., but either way no problems or crashing. This is a 40mm screen and I feel that the face is OK with the size compared to a 38mm Apple watch - although it would have been double the price - but again, I was looking for a good deal with my first watch so, it wasn't a big issue to me. Love the fact that I can download tons of watch faces to change when I'm in the mood for something different. A drawback is the texting feature in that there is not an app pre-loaded if you do not have a Samsung phone - which I do not. You have to go into your contacts list and choose the text feature from there. Responding to texts is pretty simple. There is also a microphone built in but not a speaker so, you can talk-to-text but you cannot get a call or hear music. Overall, I think it is a great first smart watch at the price I got it for and am happy with my purchase.

    Hubby normally doesn't wear watches, but after wearing this for a day, he loved it!!! It checks his stress level, walks, swimming, and of course easy reads time. He can change to his desired look on the face of the watch too. All in all he loves how well it functions. He charges it every night so he can start his day without worrying about the battery.

    I love this watch. Upgraded from the gear fit 2. This watch is easier to read. Does more than gear fit except sleep is recorded better on fit 2. But you can swim with this one which is a plus. Battery doesn't last as long if you've paired and get lots of notifications. But charges quickly. Great watch. I have Samsung note and it works great. Easy setup.
