    I love this watch. It keeps track of my steps and heart rate. I can track how many glasses of water I drink and you can use it to track calories. The best part is you can stream music through the watch.

    I have had a fit bit for a number of years but after an upgrade on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ I was not getting notifications on my Charge 2 so decided it was time for something new. Although I am still learning it's been a great replacement!

    I thought it would be hard to pair, it wasn't. I thought I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it but it wasn't. I am using it just as I needed. because work is so fast past I am able to check the calls and not answe every single one.

    love my watch. great product. nice upgrade from the garmin vivosmart 3 that I used to have. although it doesnt track everything that the garmin does track I like the samsung better because it looks more like a watch than a fitness tracker.

    Amazing watch. Great companion piece to my Galaxy phones. Have had it for over a yr and there is an issue w/ battery sustainability while using wi-fi (recent issue). Other than that, I've truly enjoyed this watch.

    Before smarrwatches, I was obsessed with saving up and owning a bougie Movado, Bullova or even a Tag Huer. But everything changed when I purchased the Moto 360 a few years ago. Since then, I've never looked back and wanted a bougie watch. Fast forward to now, the Active is amazing. Very responsive ui, detects movement and tracks workouts. Easy to setup too. Definitely worth it. Also the little connector that locks the straps in place are not made with nickel so no reaction to individuals with that(me) Cons: small watch face Pros: good battery life, sensors, easy pairing and customization(both physical and digital)

    Great watch for checking your fitness work outs. Only thing to know is it will only answer calls and fully message when paired with a Samsung phone. Paired it to a lg phone and it wont answer calls on watch. Most of the apps work well with lg phone.

    I got this as a gift for my wife for mother's day and she loves it.. she likes that it's not as big as her gs2 and she loves the color along with the fact that it lasts the entire day.. she is not as big of a techie as i am so that speaks volumes.

    I bought this one for my wife. She loves it. It is easy to use and looks great. No problems so far after set up and have been using it for over a month already. The battery is better on this model than on the gear frontier

    Good smartwatch for the price

    Overall I'm really pleased with the watch - this is my 3rd smartwatch. I had a Garmin Vivoactive prior to this one. I bought the Samsung because it had the voice responses to messages that Garmin didn't. It has a smaller profile than many smartwatches which is good for my small wrist. I have noticed the watch disconnects from my phone frequently and sometimes won't automatically reconnect to my phone without restarting the phone - which is frustrating. I had a similar issue with the Garmin, but there was an app that would auto-reconnect so it was never a problem. After researching, it seems this is an issue with the Active and so far Samsung has not offered solution to the issue and I haven't found a 3rd party app (like the Garmin) that will resolve the issue. I'm hopeful this will be resolved and I won't have to restart my phone at least once a day to continue using the watch.

    First she feal it was to bulky but then she noticed that it was not that much, somehow it was set up on some do "not disturb mode" like "movies theater mode" or so, but finally I could change the profile to "normal" and now finally I set it up to work like my Gear Fit 2 (the mode I was looking for was that it turns on the screen with the move of the wrist and receive alerts, this is what I like most on any smartwatch. Note: you might need to configure it as normal, activate the alerts and activate "the turn on the screen" with the wrist movement, in case you want to keep the screen off when you're not watching it to save battery). She loves the fact that it easily shows on the main screen: the weather, the steps, alerts, date, heart rate and hour. Now she's been using it for almost 2 months and she wears it all the time even to sleep.

    I really like the watch it fits nicely and it's not bulky like other watches. The battery life is pretty good I usually get about 2 days out of it with constant use. The fitness tracking is pretty spot on as well. All in all a very good product.

    I have owned two other Samsung trackers and they each had their positives and negatives but the Active is the best overall. Love the band's comfort and the feel of it on my arm. Has all the important features and the accuracy you can depend on.

    Perfect gift for my son who is very active in sports. Does what it needs to do such as track activities, set reminders, and more. Perfect for beginners and those looking for something simple. Able to get notifications as well which us a plus.

    I love this watch. It has and does everything I need. My only complaint is that the charge does not last for more than a day or so. I almost have it daily or at most a day and a half. Other than this one flaw, I love this watch!!

    This is my first smart watch and I am very happy with my purchase. It is easy to use and navigation is pretty easy. The only thing I would improve on is a way to access instruction led and motion monitored workouts.
