    I got this while it was onsale for $150 so I'm reviewing it as such. I consider this to be the best budget Smartwatch for android users. The new Active and the Galaxy Watch 3 higher quality options but if you want something basic for notifications and Samsung Pay, this checks those boxes good.

    Awesome watch! Bought for my 12 yo son and he loves it. Easy to use and the price was great. Bought a screen protector and extra bands from Amazon pretty cheap too. Also purchased an extra charger from best buy for a low price. Excellent quality and price as always from Samsung!!

    I was hesitant to purchase this at first. After recieving this and learning how to use it I can say that I am pleased that I decided to get this. It actually works as advertised and has a lot of good features and it does help me not have to look at each notification on phone and only respond to the important ones.

    I wasn't going to buy the watch, but then I received it as a gift. I love how it is customizable for what apps you wish to be notified. I can be in a meeting and look to see who is texting me, or important emails without having to look at my phone. I am still getting used to it though and figuring out all I can do with it!

    I love my watch is very simple to use and light in weight. It has everything that i needed in a Smartwatch. I wear it sometimes to sleep to check my sleep pattern and it's very comfortable to wear. I sometimes even forget that am wearing it. I would recommend for anyone looking for something simple.

    It is a nice upgrade from the gear fit 2 I had. I also loved that one but one day wouldn't turn on at all and just died but lastest LIke 2-3 years so not too bad. However the original gear fit I had is still going strong. I guess that's what happens when go from water resistent to waterproof. Only complaint would be for price point would think would have a small speaker to listen to music or have call on speaker. Also I would suggest to Samsung to allow more apps to be able to be downloaded to the watch. Charging port is way better, changing time awesome, battery life good, arm band way better, all in all a great watch. For the money spend I would buy this over again vs many of the watches on the market. Keep up the awesome job Samsung just stop coming out with a new update every 6 months maybe wait a year or so before a new one doesn't send good message when add one feature and call it a new watch. That's what apple is famous for don't be like them. You already did that with phones and no longer being able to open up back to replace battery or add memory card. Great watch must buy.

    I used to use a fitbit charge 2, but decided I wanted to try a smartwatch and I've been very happy with Samsung. So, did some research and this one has not disappointed! It's easy to read, has so many features, the round shape means it's very comfortable and as hard as I am on it, the screen doesn't scratch up. Love this watch!

    I ended up treating myself with this watch. I normally use the Fitbit but this purchase was amazing. I like how I can now answer my texts through there right away vs the fitbit. I decided to get the active smartwatch since I am one whom always try to stay active, always exercising. I am very much happy with my purchase.

    Bought this one for a friend as a gift and he liked it! This one is pretty stylish, i like the round shape of the watch. Does fit on a thin or regular sized wrist well. Recommended for android users, apple user would get limited functionality after connecting to their iPhones. Very nice fitness watch

    This is a nice smart watch for someone who wants all the bells and whistles and is going with a droid watch. I prefer the Apple Watch but this does about the same stuff and is the solid choice for droid smart phone users. Definitely pairs well with the Samsung series phones.

    Great smart watch for android. My wife was looking for a watch to pair with her pixel 3 and considering that Apple watches do not work with anything other than iPhones this was the best option. Now mind you this is the first generation one, you can buy the second one but at this price I paid $120 it was a no brainer. Works great with any android phone, you just have to download some Samsung apps. For android this is the only option that I like as she had a Fitbit and it died after about six months My wife was looking for a watch to pair with her pixel three and considering that Apple watches do not work with anything other than iPhones this was the best option.

    Nice watch, looks good, nice features but battery only lasts about a day. I am constantly needing to charge it. I used it for 1 year, and recently upgraded to the Samsung - Galaxy Watch Smartwatch 46mm Stainless Steel - Silver.

    I had my fitbit for 4 years and it stopped working I was so upset as I wasn't ready to get another watch, I went with this one because of style and size. It now my new favorite watch it does everything the one feature it doesn't do (talk through it) I don't care about because I don't want people in my conversations anyhow.

    I should start by saying I’ve been a Fitbit user for years. I wasn’t even thinking of replacing my mine but I saw this watch in person and liked it that much. I love the included GPS, health monitoring, and size. So many watches look like big glass squares. Call me old fashioned but I want a smartwatch that looks like a watch.

    Love this watch. It's sleek, comfortable, fashionable and easy to use. Great watch faces! The only thing small problem is... the next morning wen I get up the watch has reset itself and I can't look at my progress from the day before on steps, etc. Otherwise, excellent!

    Bought this as a gift for my wife. Nice looking phone, lots of options, but is not very intuitive. Have had to do a lot of research online to set it up the way she likes. Tends to burn through the battery time extremely quickly, to the point where it has to be charged twice a day.

    I'm a senior citizen and not really computer-literate. I found it a bit confusing initially as there are so many applications; however, after a "practice-run", it was easy to navigate. I love how it sinks with my email and phone; and even notifies me when my phone is ringing! I love my "multi-purpose" watch.

    Absolutely love this watch. This is my second because I went swimming with a crack in the screen of my first one. But that was truly my fault. I didn't realize I had broken the screen as bad a I did. It has held up amazing only thing I wish the battery life was better
