    My biggest complaint is the battery. I have to charge it every night whereas my other smartwatch lasted 5 days plus. Its defeats the purpose of having it log your sleeping habits if you have to charge it.

    Bought this for my girlfriend right before Christmas to replace her Fitbit. She absolutely loves it! It does all the same fitness tracking plus more and she's able to read and send texts with it

    I upgragraded from Fitbit Versa as it wouldn't sync with my phone. I love the size of it. Customizing the face, picking the apps. Still figuring it out but overall I like it.

    The battery life on this isn’t that great if you want to say, use it for tracking steps during the day or tracking your sleep during the night. You can’t have both as the battery does not hold for 24 hours. There’s been a few times my phone got disconnected from the watch and I was almost nearly impossibly to reconnect it. The apps aren’t that great. Downloads to the watch never show up. A little disappointed since I’m a fan of most Samsung products but in this case I should have stuck with Apple like my phone

    I was chosen to try the Samsung Gear Active. I was pleasantly surprised by the watch. Small, techy looking and pretty easy to use, pair and use. The face of the watch is small for my small wrist, and sleek looking. You have a variety of background "watch faces" that you can select from and personalize the watch face. You can choose to make the watch stay on all of the time, or be activities by hand or wrist movement. A slight flick of the wrist, your watch face will light up with very little effort. I have a background. You can look at heart rate, oxygenation levels in your body, use the Samsung Galaxy Health app to visualize your sleep patterns showing REM sleep, wakefulness, and a few other attributes.

    The watch is beautiful, comfortable and very functional. The battery life compared to my old smart watches has impressed me quite a bit, I can get at least two days of heavy use out of it before charging.

    I've had other Samsung fitness watches and Fitbits, and this is the best. Great features, easy to use, accurate. Just don't buy the Zagg shield for it because it doesn't fit well with the curved face edge.

    The smaller size of this watch fits better than a previous watch that was used. The swimproof rating inspires confidence in not having to worry about the watch when raining (or swimming)

    I love this watch and I got lots of compliments. My issue is the heart rate monitor seems not accurate to compare to my hr Fitbit. I did try to put the watch on my left and Fitbit on my right and have a different reading which the Samsung reading was higher than the Fitbit. To make sure which one is accurate I checked my hr using the insignia oximetry and the findings were insignia and my Fitbit has almost the same reading. For the activity like walking or running it seems okay.
