    I love it, it is very useful, also it has many different types of face to change it, you can measure your heart pressure, stress, steps, etc. The size is perfect for me not so big.

    I love the watch but the battery life is short. With my Fitbit I only have to change once a week. With this watch I have to change every day. How ever my daughter changed a setting and I did get 2 days this time.

    I'm not giving this watch a five star because of the battery life. I have had other watches that don't even have a brand but have a longer battery life. Other than that Im enjoying my watch.

    Sister loves it, has different designs for the watch faces included. Last a full day and sometimes more on a full charge depending on settings and how many apps is running on it.

    Excellent watch for keeping track of health standards and receiving notifications, did have a little trouble setting it up and understanding its full capacity but to be fair I’m not that good at technology.

    This watch is stylish and lightweight. I love the design and it’s very easy to use. As an iOS user I thought it would be difficult for me. But I love it so much, I plan on buying them as gifts for my mom and sister!

    Great watch. This is my first fitness watch. Counts your steps, get notifications, weather and it has plenty of different faces to choose from. Free ones or you can buy some. Perfect for what I need.

    So far it's working well for me, still figuring everything out but for someone not so tech savvy I'm liking it. Seriously considering adding it on to my phone plan for even more use.

    Not for sleep tracking due to charging

    If you are looking to track your sleeping habits, look elsewhere. You have to charge this every other night so its not going to be too accurate. I love you can change the background to even your own pictures. Once you get about 25 feet from your phone it disconnects. I'm not sure about all of the apps, I'm using one or two until I figure them all out. The round face makes it weird when reading a text too. I also love how the band connects and unconnects, so much easier than a regular band.

    I upgraded from the Gear Fit 2 to this because it looks nicer and has some nice extra features I was surprised to see Wish I would have known to wait another couple weeks for the new watch active 2 though.

    I finally moved away from Fitbit and purchased the Samsung Active. I love the features, customizable options and flexibility. The shirt battery life compared to a Fitbit takes some getting used to though

    This watch has allowed me to be more productive in that I do not have to use my phone or remove it from my pocket. It also helps me to keep track of my fitness goals without looking at my phone either.

    It has Samsung Pay, battery life is good, especially in power saving mode and with the brightness turned down. The fitness tracking is great, and being able to silence notifications quickly helps me stay on task.

    She's pairing a LG w this Samsung. Pairing worked though we're unable to tell the difference, if any, between native interfaces. She is unable to read the incoming text so far but is alerted to the text's arrival.

    A very good watch and activity tracker. Not to difficult to setup. Get notifications from phone calls to text messages. The only thing different from the Active 2 smartwatch is that you cannot talk to other people.

    This watch is great! Keeps track of my activity as well as notifying me of incoming calls, messages, emails, and more. You can personalize it to fit your needs. I really like that it vibrates with my alarm clocks.
