    I like the watch. But if you want to use all the features you have to know that it will have to be charged daily.

    Had the Ionic Fitbit, Tic watch, and a couple others. My opinion, I like this much better. Auto sleep tracker, heart beat monitor, and etc. One cool thing, auto workout tracking. I went for a bike ride, at the end of my trip it automatically calculated the ride. Also love the comfort and light weight (great for the sleep tracking) I have been using it everyday for about 3 1/2 months. A ton of features for only $200.... Only wish I could answer a phone call and talk on it....

    I upgraded from a Samsung Gear Fit (battery did not last much after about 5 years of ownership). The GPS “finds itself” pretty quickly when I go for walks to track my route. Love the Spotify integrated app. I download my playlist to the watch, connect my Bluetooth earbuds to the watch, and I have music for my walk without having to bring the phone with me! After an hour walk using the workout function and Spotify, the watch used about 30% of its battery.

    I previously had the fitbit charge 3 and was unsatisfied with their service department. I chose the Galaxy Active because I have a galaxy phone. I am loving using this and I even think it records my steps closer to my actual steps. Although I just noticed today it records me raking as running! Lol. It did take me a bit to learn how to use its features and I am still learning. But I am sure I will get better at using it over time.
