    I had been using A Samsung Gear Fit Pro, it finally failed after several years of rough use. I saw the Galaxy active on sale for the same price as another Gear Fit Pro at regular price. I decided to give the Galaxy Active a try, I am glad I did, it does so much more than the Gear Fit Pro, it is also much more accurate on the readings and sleep functions as well as music and GPS tracking. The battery life is better too. It is lighter and the display is much lager and easier to read.

    I got this watch because I wanted a smart watch...aka, something to help keep track of my steps. The workout function has a lot of options, the bad thing is that it doesn't always trigger correctly (pushups don't count unless your arms are in a certain position and move a certain direction), and the battery life is very short. I have to recharge it every 2 days.

    I bought this for my 8-year-old son because he was jealous of his older brother's Gear S3 Frontier. Although he does not have text, social media, or e-mail access, he loves the watch and its functions. More importantly, the watch is extremely durable. He is an active kids always playing sports and the watch still looks as if its brand new. Although it may be due to less use as a connected smart device, the battery lasts for days.

    For some reason this watch fits my style way better than the frontier s3. I think the size is perfect for the gym

    Really happy with the watch and most of it's functions. Some glitches at times and it took me a few days to get used to the settings that I wanted. I'm still frustrated with the onboard Spotify app. Sometimes it works great to download a playlist, take it offline, and go running while connected to bluetooth headphones. Sometimes it just doesn't work and I can't figure out why... Hoping some updates will fix it soon or maybe I just need to become more familiar with how it works offline.

    Got this for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves it. It's been so useful for him to have at work, where he can stay up-to-date with calls and texts without having to check his phone or even take it out of his pocket. You can download lots of different faces to customize the watch more to your preferences/what features you use the most. Battery life is great, he uses it all the time but it can easily run for a couple days without charging.
