    I love everything about this watch...it records my daily activity and sleep. You can also change the design of the face. Awesome watch!

    I like the new Galaxy Watch Active. It is very sleek looking and the round design gives it a more classy look than other smartwatches. The software is pretty good, but could use a little improvement. The step count seems accurate. The floor count is way off. The Samsung chats are filled with complaints about it; however, Samsung claims they have not had any negative feedback about it. Since that's a minor item on the watch, it's not enough to detract from the overall package. This is a good smartwatch!

    I give 4 stars only because it does not stay charged long. I used to go 5 days with Fitbit versa. This one may make it 3 days.

    Great features. Got rid of my Fitbit, which was the same price, and this is a major upgrade. Plus this works with my Samsung Note 8.

    A great starter smart watch. Can't make or receive phone calls, so if you were looking for that feature, go with the active 2. Most of the other features are present on this watch as well as the active 2. The screen is bright and vibrant. This watch is really light weight also. Can hardly tell you're wearing it. Perfect watch if you're looking to get into the smart watch world but don't want to pay a fortune.

    Watch OK, Staff Explanation Not So Much

    I was excited to get this watch to monitor my physical activity. As a senior citizen, this is important to me. I feel I didn't get enough of an explanation of the watch's features when I left the store. I'm still trying to figure them out. There are all sorts of features I DON'T want, and I find it annoying that I haven't been able to get rid of those. Basically, the watch is fine. The staff introduction and explanation was less than stellar.

    I had a Gear Fit 2 watch/activity tracker that the band broke so I was going to get a replacement one. They didn't have any so I decided a change was needed and I am glad I got this watch. The ease of use, the vibrant and bright colors and extremely easy pairing with my S9 make it great. It has all the features I was looking for: texting, calendar, activity tracker, control my music, weather, pictures and it is waterproof. I was in a waterpark on slides and lazy rivers with it submerged and it works great.

    I love my new watch. I had a FitBit Charge 3 for the past year and a half and it died -- couldn't keep a charge and could not see anything on the screen. Naturally, since I had it over a year (by 6 mos.), it was not under warranty. I switched to this Active Smartwatch and I could not have made a better decision. Although I am still learning its many capabilities, I have found it to be very user friendly. I hope it lasts longer than the FitbIt. For now, it is perfect.
