    The Wife Loves it! Form and Function!

    The wife loves it! Perfect balance of fashion and function. Sporty enough for active lifestyles, but the Rose Gold watch with Pink band is stylish enough to dress up for a night out. Her prior designer smart watch with stainless steel band and encrusted with crystals did not hold up to a life with a toddler. The Galaxy Watch active feel like it will stand up to a little more abuse and getting the Best Buy Geek Squad Protection is worth the extra peace of mind. The wife is happy, I'm happy!

    Gave this to my dad for his 66th birthday and he loves it! He's very into computers and most tech, so I thought it would be a good thing to get him. He really seemed to enjoy setting it up and learning the features! I went through it with him. The set up was very simple and straightforward and didn't take long to do. The display is beautiful and it's great that it comes with both a small and large band. Not a lot of watches do. Has a lot of features that I think will cater to a lot of people. I'd say this is worth buying if you're looking into it.

    Watch works fine for getting messages as well as tracking my steps. Battery doesn't last long. I wear it to work and its usually dead before my shift is up.

    My wife had smaller wrists and absolutely loved this watch. She tried the Galaxy watch and it was too large on her wrist. She tried on the active and loved it.

    Does more fitness tracking than any other watch including measuring blood pressure. Great for tracking workouts too. As a bonus does all that prior galaxy watches do.

    Good Watch / bad battery

    The watch does a lot I'll admit that however the battery life sucks. Even with a low setting it doesn't even last a full day (8 hrs). It will be on but it will be on its last bar about to turn off. I would say if your using this to track sleep dont bother because you need that time to charge your watch. Also the watch does not charge quickly. I don't know overall I'm happy with it but I hate that it dies so fast. Sort of defeats the purpose on all it has to offer to the customer/user.

    This watch is great when it comes to customizing. The batter life will consume about 25-30 percent a day. Watch will charge pretty fast. I do recommend this product.

    The watch is awesome for what its offered. The watch can change your music, receive texts, phone calls. The watch acts as a great fitness tracker also, but the only downside of the watch is that the battery life isnt as great as advertised. On a normal day I would get 50% off no fitness workouts no nothing, just pure music changing and checking time. The watch on average lost 20% within 3 hours which isnt great for a smart watch that advertises 2 day life.
