    I have had my galaxy active for about two weeks, and have been very pleased. I have had 2 galaxy smart watches in the past, and I love this one the best! The band is super comfortable, comes off easy, and is acceptable to off market bands to match outfits. I’m still learning everything that it will do. I have also downloaded a couple of really cool watch faces that give many options with what is displayed. So far so good!

    Great watch and great value! I love how it automatically tracks workouts when I'm walking and forget to start a workout. I have had no trouble with the bluetooth connection, it's very smooth and connects automatically when in range of my phone. I also love that it is waterproof and I can use it when lap swimming. You can choose which notifications show up on your watch, so I can block unimportant ones from bothering me while working.

    For the price, this is a great watch. I moved up from FitBit Alta, so size matters. Quite small and light, so I can wear it at nite. Charge lasts a full day and nite, recharges in 60-90 minutes. I charge every morn, during breakfast/shower and it's good to go until the next. No speaker, so it doesn't make random annoying sounds (like the Wife's iWatch); but also does not provide audio prompts, so I have to reach for the readers to read all the prompts. I give it a Five, but still no news on the BP software drop :/

    This watch is nice. Its light, easy to wear and had a lot of functions but the battery life sucks. Depending how what app your are running while you are working out drains its significantly. For me the battery life last about a day and a half before I need to charge it again. Watch is a decent price but still no discount store price, so you think it would have a better battery.

    Great watch, innovative design, but not compatible with all android (especially the newest android pixel 3). More smart than fit.
