    Bought this for my husband and he loves it. It reflects information that helps him to keep track of his heart rate and his sleep cycle.

    This purchase was a smart purchase for me. I don't usually like to carry a wallet with me so I use the Samsung Pay feature on my watch. I also like the fact that my watch monitors my sleep pattern so I know how long I sleep. My most favourite feature is the water lock feature. Yes, this watch is water resistant but I like to use the feature when I'm washing dishes or swimming. I've never had a watch where I can respond to messages so this is the first smart watch I've purchased in a long time that allows me to respond to messages when I'm at my desk working.

    Great watch! The best buy representative was very knowledgeable and gave me pros and cons of getting this one or other more expensive one. Love how you can download music to it and leave your phone at home when you go for that jog. You can reply to text message with voice, but you can't pick up phone call from the watch... weird. I think this version has been upgraded since I've purchased, but I'm happy with it. You can also add new bands for it so that they match your daily attire.

    I love this watch. It did take some time to calculate calories correctly, but it started to after a couple weeks. Otherwise, it's easy to use and handy.

    I decided to get the Active instead of the Active2 because there was only 2 features that stood out in the Active2 (bigger watch face and EKG monitoring. If you wants these two features, get the Active2 then!). I enjoy it, it is very simple to use and it looks really nice on my wrist lol. The only thing that I wished it had (my own personal opinion), was the circle part of the watch can move. Moving it in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion allows you to pick which app you want! But that's just me being greedy lol

    Great Smartwatch with Fitness Tracking

    I've used the Galaxy Fit Pro 2 and that is an awesome fitness tracker, but it lacked or had limited some of the Smartwatch features I wanted. This device, has everything I could want or need. Now there is a trade off; It is a great Smartwatch and a great Fitness tracker, but if you only want fitness tracker the Fit Pro 2 has more features. But to be honest, the Fit Pro 2 has more features than I never used. For what I use, the Galaxy Watch Active is more of a better fit for my lifestyle and blends fitness tracker with smartwatch features that are just perfect for me.
