    Very dood smart watch, when on defaultstatus, battery loses power in about two days, even though turned off at night. Lasts several days on power-saver mode, still turning off at night.

    I'm wearing this watch daily. Has a good battery life, bright screen, plenty of features. I was looking for the smart watch that is good for swimming. This watch is working excellent so far. I read lots of reviews on this watch and many people complained about: "when watch started malfunction it was send to Samsung for repairs. The reply from Samsung was that "unable to repair due to the water damage"." To avoid any further interaction with Samsung I purchased $40 replacement plan from Best Buy. They promised that no matter what happened to it they going to replace it or give me the store credit for the value of the watch.

    I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active when I had my Note 8. Performance is still very snappy to this day. I like how a bigger watch band is included for larger wrists. It is lightweight and looks great with any of my outfits. I lost the ability to remotely accept phone calls and send texts through the watch after connecting it to my OnePlus 7 Pro, but I barely used those features anyway. The only thing I honestly didn't like about the watch is there is no cellular option to talk through the watch. I guess that is what the regular Galaxy Watch is for. On the positive side, I can still use Samsung Pay on the watch without a Samsung phone.

    this watch replaced my fit bit. I am very happy besides on a new platform from fitbit. Anyways, texting from watch with phone connected of course. Enjoy the size, feel and ease from this. I use the s20 so this watch makes a perfect companion. I set my phone down and walk away so I will miss messages and calls. Now I set my phone and use my watch. Stress tests and health with this is good. Plenty of apps and watch faces of course. I am very happy except just like phones these devices are expensive but still force you to buy a screen protector which i recommend to this watch

    I love this watch. I have waited for a Samsung version of a smartwatch that was a little smaller for my wrist. I really love how this looks and it is very useful. Love it!

    I honestly think most watches all seem to do about the same things, but I couldn't find anywhere that beats Best Buy's price!
