    First Samsung watch I've purchased. Fully functional and simple design. Would have liked the gear function, bigger screen, and speaker but it's a good watch. Works great with my Galaxy S8.

    I purchased my Galaxy Smartwatch Active a little over a month ago and its been great. I purchased an aftermarket 20mm metal band, and it looks sleek and professional. I can hardly feel it on my wrist! By turning off some activity monitoring like biking, swimming, etc, I am able to get 2 to 3 days of battery life with moderate usage consisting of mostly notifications, step tracking, weather updates, timers, changing music and a calculator. I would highly recommend this watch for anyone looking to get into the smartwatch game, but hasn't worn a lot of wristwatches. The weight and size make it extremely easy to get used to!

    Wow!! So many features!! The only complaint is the battery life goes quickly. I researched and found some tips and it worked but kinda still drains quickly.

    Screen could be a little brighter but overall it does it's job and keeps me on schedule. Wish it had a speaker so I could listen to my tunes without bluetooth.

    OMG! I had the Fitbit Versa before this and let me just say there is no comparison. This watch does everything you need it to. My only problem is that I seem to be charging it very often.

    Amazing watch that has toughed through a lot of outdoor activity without any issue. I always have a screen protector on it. Great updates to newer features when available (like the virtual bevel, etc). Since I liked to use it for sleep tracking, getting used to when to charge it took some work. Apps work smooth & quickly. A family member borrowed it to use with the FitBit Sense for comparision. She likes the FitBit app graphing & wanted to test the new sensors; otherwise she said she'd pick the Galaxy Active hands down! Highly recommend!

    Wife likes it but it frustrates her that you can't rotate the screen for left handed folks. Batter performance is one day barely with light to moderate use.

    Works flawlessly with Samsung phones and haven't had issues pairing with Sony phone. Might look small on big wristed or more heavy set folks. Looks better on slim or petite females.

    I treated myself to this so I could have a watch and fitness track in one. What I dont like much is that I have to keep it on power saver too much or I have to charge it more often.
