    Easy to use and personalize the settings you want to use. My son loves it for the more traditional styling and great visuals.

    I really love this watch! But... the battery life isn't great. On average you get about one day, sometimes less if you are using it a lot.

    Wear daily. Great incentive to keep moving. Tracks steps, heart rate, stress and more. Syncs with phone. Keeps the history, too.

    Yeah, it doesn't have the side that turns like the Active Smartwatch 2, but how many times are you actually going to use that? This watch has been great: easy to use and customize, perfect size, and all the features I could possibly want. Love being able to "write" on the watch's face when replying to texts. The tech recognizes my writing easily, which saves me from digging out my phone from my bag while out cycling. The Samsung Health app is not the greatest, but you can download others to your phone/watch that track your fitness journey better.

    I was allergic to my last smart watch and so far no problems. It does everything I want. I was suprised that it knew that I was riding my bicycle. Very happy

    This watch is great. I purchased it so I could easily see if calls needed to be answered right away while at work. I just need to remember to look at it.

    Wish it had a longer battery life. I switch between my FitBit and this watch. Face big for women. They need to make smaller units. But nice quality.

    Love the watch and that I can send simple texts from it. I hate that I have to charge it every other day dispite turning off some of my notifications all I get on my watch are text messages, notified of in coming calls and tracking my steps and sleep. My Futbit blaxe lasted a full week on a single charge. I am keeping the watch because I can text without my phone which helps in long meetings or trainings

    I got this watch because I do swim classes at my local gym and I wanted something that worked in the water. I was nervous at first to put it in the water, but as long as you turn water mode on, it is great! I use it every day and the battery usually lasts me about 2 days. I love that I can text from it and there is even a theater mode! I can't count how many times I had to leave my old smart watch in the car because it would drive my husband crazy by turning on randomly during a movie. I love this watch and I'm thinking about buying one for my husband now!
