    Perfect watch for an on the go Mom, or the lady in the office. Customized faces, and straps make it easy to match your every day Life. Only thing I would change is the battery life. Other than that, I love mine!

    I am a Samsung fan and happy I made this purchase. I bought it for my mom to keep up with her workouts. It does everything as described. It was easy for her to adapt to using it.

    I bought this watch for work. Since I don't keep my phone on me at work, I can still keep track of time, messages, and calls. Easy to use to keep track of steps, heart rate, etc. too!

    Sleek, easy to use, start up, and connect with your phone, no matter if it's a android or iPhone. Great apps and features that compare to the more expensive galaxy watch.

    Love how easy it is to set up and use. Very comfortable on my wrist. Just wish it came with 2 chargers as I'm always forgetting to charge it at home so need on at work too.

    I'm hard of hearing so this was a great gadget to feel when I get an alert like a txt message or phone call. I also love that I don't have to get up from the couch to reject an unknown call, I can do that right from the watch. It doesn't have a speaker so you cant use it as a speaker phone like the other ones but it does what I need. I didn't care for the default screen but it has a bunch of alternate screens that can be customized. The sleep monitoring is a bit flaky but that probably just me... my resting heart rate is about 45 and sometimes thinks that if I sit still for a while, that I'm sleeping... ( I now have documented proof that I'm not awake until my second cup of coffee... lol )

    This is my 1st smart watch & no complaints. I like the feel of the rubber band as I never liked the feel of regular watch bands. Super easy to use. I know all the big stuff, but still learning little things (I've had it for about a month). Step counter was very inaccurate at first (would count while driving), but it seems to have "learned" & so it doesn't seem too off now. I haven't slept in it to do sleep stuff cause I need to charge it. After wearing it for 13-14 hours, it was 40 something% battery left. After a basic 8-10 hours, I have had as much as 80% left, just depends on how active I am & how much I play with it. Heart rate monitor is pretty cool to me.

    I have always loved Galaxy watches. I thought I would miss the bezel. On Galaxy watch active. I did for a couple of days. I love the small size. Pretty easy to wear to bed. You don't realize you have it on.

    It's a descent smart watch, nothing too fancy, which was nice. I like that the band slides underneath. Really nice first smartwatch for women with small wrists. Only downfall is the battery doesn't last long.

    I recently upgraded my Smartwatch. This watch is very easy to use and records information correctly. The band is similar to a regular watch. It stays on better and looks great.

    It has a lot of good features that helps get through the day. If you pair it to your phone via bluetooth you can receive and respond to text messages. You can change the watch face to look like a regular analog watch or several different digital versions that show step count, weather, battery life etc. The walk feature shows your distance and speed and alerts you at every mile with your time and at the end it summarizes your workout time, distance, steps, calories burned etc. It also has a reminder to get up and stretch or walk around which is great when you sit at a desk all day. Would give it 5 stars if the battery lasted a bit longer.
