    I purchased this on when my older generation watch started to struggle with charging. this watch was a great upgrade. Very easy to customize screens and arrange apps the way you want them. very crisp screen and graphics. Very easy to set up in the samsung wear app. Even allows you to download music to play standalone and reply to text message buy talking into it. Great buy if your looking for a smart/active watch in the middle of the high tech range

    It is the older version versus whats available and when it comes to how long things take, you can definitely tell. Sometimes when trying to use "hi bixby" it "runs into a problem" and can be frustrating when trying to send a quick text. I have frustratedly pulled out my phone, bypassing it completely. But the meditation or "Breathe" feature is my favorite. I love for notifications, and to be aware when I've sat for almost an hour to keep moving.

    I chose this watch because it looks great with my small wrist. All of the others looked too big. I have a galaxy phone and it works well with the watch. I've had this watch for a few weeks now and my only complaint is that sometimes I find it to be inaccurate when keeping track of the type of movements I do. I can walk back and forth in small spaces but the watch doesn't detect the movement sometimes.

    I got this watch because of the Blood pressure monitor which Samsung decided to cancel, so it defeated the number one purpose I wanted it for. The lay out is nice but that is really about it. It looks very feminine, which wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have a gear2 neo already that didn't do everything that this does except for wireless charging and better waterproofing. The bezel functionality on the gear3 is much better and gives the watch a beefier look eventhough this is cheaper, it felt like a step back from what Samsung was trying to do. I'm going to return this one and get the gear3. I think this is a good watch for women, swimmers or someone looking to keep the bulk down, the strap is more comfortable than my gear2, so I'll order a new one for the gear3 I buy off Amazon.

    I love my new Samsung Active watch. I have smaller wrists and so this was perfect for me instead of the Samsung Gear watches.
