    Decent smart watch

    Great little watch, worked well for the time that I used it. Couldn't quite get the hang of the workout function, and the band was a little annoying, but there are plenty of available apps to help you choose which options for working out are best for you, and there are so many different bands on the market that it's not that big of a deal. I do wish it had a beefier bezel on it, as it chips and or scratches pretty easily without a protective sleeve, and it gets pretty gunky and gross during a workout pretty quickly.

    I was looking for a watch (that I liked how it looks) and a way to keep up with activities. It's very easy to use, battery lasts about 1 1/2 days ish and I'm loving it so far

    This is a great watch to have for the price. It is very responsive and there was no problems when I got the device. Even though it was an open box, it looked like it was brand new.

    Solid smart watch that gets the job done. Great at tracking heart rate and steps. Needs improvement on tracking other types of exercise other than cardio. Battery dies in about 2 days.

    My wife picked this up on sale and loved it, she liked the size and less bulkiness than the other Samsung watches, doesn’t do calling like Apple Watch but she can still do a lot of same features.

    This is my second Samsung Watch, but first Active. It was easy to set up, works perfectly and is extremely comfortable. I usually forget I'm wearing it at all.

    This is a great smart watch. I have been a Fitbit user for several years. This watch does it all. Very comparable to the apple watch. The only negative is the battery doesn't last long.

    Purchased for my wife. She loves it. But compared to her Fitbit charge 2 the battery life could be better. Also it doesnt really count her steps as accurate as her Charge 2 but I guess you can't have it all.

    Always been a big tech fan and have always had my eye on a smartwatch. Had the gear fit previously and it did serve a need but wasn't a full watch experience. Admittedly my main reason for buying was due to all the attention it was getting since being revealed with the S10 series, of which I did get the S10+. So adding the watch was a no brainer impulse and I'm happy with my purchase. It's great for me as I have small wrists and it's not bulky at all. The screen is vivid and bright, love getting notifications on it and am taking advantage of the sleep tracking. I work behind a desk all day so the reminders and suggestions to get active are nice too. Looking forward to trying out more of the workout features. All in all I'm happy.

    I've had Apple Watches and random Android watches before but now with my Note 10 this watch is a perfect pair. Weather, messages, health/vitals, music, etc. Great look too.

    I like this watch, because you can add your own pictures, its easy to use,and its pretty and matches the cell phone. the only thing is if you want to have it sync to your step length its hard to go that.

    I ended up returning this watch. I loved everything about the looks of the watch so I was very disappointed it didn't do what I wanted it to do. The battery did not last more than a day, I have owned Fitbit's and was used to them lasting 5- 7 days. Also, the sleep was not all that accurate and the app didn't handle it very well. I'd say if you're looking for a watch to count steps and to pick up your messages, this would be the watch for you. But if you're looking for it to be the all around watch I would not get this one in particular.

    I purchased the watch in March and submitted request for promotional gift in April. The request was accepted. Contacted support twice and gift has not shipped after 6 months wait. I like the watch. smaller than previous models. The band is fairly comfortable and the display is easy to read in direct sunlight. Have worn it on the river while whitewater kayaking several times. It has one small chip in the glass that has not affected the operation. I would have rated it higher if customer support had been honest when contacted regarding delivery of the promotional offer.
