    Great buy but only giving 4 stars because the battery life isnt as good as the galaxy watch and i like the benefit of having the turnable dial. Also can answer quick phone calls on galaxy watch.

    Didn't like the idea of having to be constantly connected to my phone but this has been a wonderful addition - perfect for notifications during meetings and keeping me on schedule.

    The Galaxy Watch Active's lightweight and simple design make it better for working out and wearing to bed than previous models. It packs in health and fitness features at a lower price.

    A nice accessory to pair with your galaxy. Was a little hesitant because I bought refurbished but am glad I did because I saved some dough.

    Bought as a gift for my wife to replace her Fit Bit Versa. She loves it as it is easy to set up, use and works seamlessly with her S9+. The versa was not as user friendly

    This is a nice watch I ever had. I like the touch sensitivity and the display and the way it designed. The strap was not that good it peeled the little skin from the strap.

    This watch serves my needs. Big face, functions that I'm looking for and looks good. The down fall is the charging. It says about 5 days, but I find that it is about every 3 days to charge.

    I usually don't wear a watch because they are uncomfortable. This watch is lightweight and very comfortable. I like to wear it daily. One day I left it at home and I missed having it on.

    It is very comfortable. My previous watch I couldn't wear to bed or all day (it was just to bulky). This one is very sleek smooth and comfortable enough to wear to bed!

    Good watch but doesn't track exercise well

    I really like the watch and it works well with Google. The drawbacks for me are that it doesn't work as a fitness watch as well as my Fitbit watch did. So if you want it for that, look at Fitbit or Garmin. If you just want to know if you got your steps in today, this it works great. No history is stored for you to review for the week though. It connects well to a Samsung phone and give you some feedback there. But once again, it does not store any history to look back at even the last week. They even did a big update and it was a little better (it did a lousy job of tracking calories before), but still did not address keeping the history.

    Great Watch To Buy 10/10 Do Recommend.

    So I bought this watch as an Xmas gift to myself and I really love it. The color stands out and it looks very nice & fancy. I love everything about it. You can change the background of the watch and add a picture of your children, or spouse, or animal, etc. The battery life of the watch lasts me up a day and a half, so you won't need to charge it every day. You charge it every other day. I gave it 4 stars because I wish you can talk through the watch. You can reply to text messages and answer calls, but unfortunately you cannot talk through it. Besides that, 10/10 I do recommend.
