    I bought the active watch after my Fossil Sport broke where the band meets the plastic of the face (known issue, only worn for 5 weeks). I hadn't experienced anything except WearOS, and am pleasantly surprised by the galaxy. It's responsive, battery life is great - 1.5 days with AOD, heart rate monitoring, and sleep tracking. My Fossil would die everyday before dinner. The only issue I've had is with the Galaxy store itself - it doesn't have nearly as many options as the Play store. Overall, I love this watch!

    It took a minute to get used to when I changed from a Fitbit. But, I like it a lot better. It's customizable, and looks nice. Super easy to use.

    This is a high-quality fitness smartwatch with many great features. It encourages one to be active each day. The performance and reliability of operation are also very good. I have found that activity values like no. of steps taken, floors climbed are reliable. It has many very nice watch faces and easy to use interface. The battery lasts for about 1.5 days with moderate usage of wi-fi and location. Actual screen size can be a little bigger. Overall it is a very good, reliable, high-quality fitness centered smartwatch. Thanks

    While the font may be small on some faces to older eyes, the overall functionality is outstanding. With the watch on full brightness it lasts more than a day, which is really more than any of us care about it lasting. If you have a regular charging time for your phone, you will likely charge your watch at the same time. I find the Samsung health app syncs flawlessly with this watch as well. It has survived constant beating from me, and will serve very well in the future. For the money, I have never found its equal.

    I got this for my wife because she wanted to keep track of her exercise and whatnot and she's in love with it. She's usually one to kinda use something and get tired of it and forget about it but she's had this all summer and is still going strong. I love that you can completely customize the watch face with your own pics or even gifs. Also the sleep tracker on this is incredible! It tracks your deep sleep, light sleep, rem, all that! Very impressive. I ended up getting one for myself.

    Traded up from the galaxy s3. This watch is made more for a women, which is a big change. The smaller size is easier to wear but still big enough to see.

    I'm still learning how to use the watch. It's a great idea to get notifications your phone gets when it's not a good idea to show you are using your phone.
