Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wish this model came with the high blood pressure monitor, but the upgrade price for it wasn't justified. This original version does all but that. I purchased this model during a sale promotion. A bit sensitive to touch. Smartwatch tracks all my fitness, you can customize face, widgets easily. Must download Samsung health and Wear for optimal information. Was able to link my scale to their app and track my weight goals. The watch looks great, face size is perfect on my wrist, doesn't look bulky. Battery life isn't great, if you want to track your sleep you will need to find downtime to charge up. Bixby is great on this watch as well. Lots of options on this product.

I love it, its def what I want. It's not too big like the other Samsung watch, I love the rose gold color, texting is cool, steps, and notifications. But..... like everyone is saying the battery doesnt last for few days. Mine is about 2 days then I have to charge it. I guess it depends how much you use it. The charging port doesnt hold it well, so make sure you are charging it flat. I've slept on it and I love how it tells me my sleeping pattern and when i go to bed, but like I said every other night, you need to charge it. Sometimes it's slow when you are trying to do the talk to text and be very clear and sometimes loud. Over all, I really like it. It's good for people with smaller wrist and I've got compliments and looked at.

I am very happy with this watch. It is low profile, so it doesn't get caught on my clothing. I can access calculator, messages, emails, activity info, weather, calendar, voice memo, contacts with ease. I like the options for responding to messages...type, write, emoji, pre-written replies. Cons: battery needs charged daily (so do Apple products) and bluetooth does not seem to transmit very far. Works fine throughout my 3 story home, but once I go outside without my phone, it disconnects

The need to recharge daily is a negative though it still tracks despite being on low power mode. I love that you can change the size of the time Display font (I can’t see regular typical font w/o glasses). The 40mm size display isn’t too large for women, even on my skinny arm, but I am more comfortable with the rose display and band. Very feminine looking. Negative is that neither the website or watch displays more than the current week details whereas the FitBit or VeryFitPro (Spade watch) websites are more easily followed, but then the watch itself is better than either of the others.

The only surprise (since it wasn't available to view in stores before ordering) was that the color is more blue than the pictures. It also seems like the watch is kind of thick but it's the first smart watch I've owned. Once it's on my wrist, it doesn't seem huge. It is very comfortable to wear. The battery life is maybe a little short? It's not quite 2 fulls days and I'm not sure what settings would prolong that. All that being said, I am really happy with it, I would recommend it, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on features that other versions have.

I have a Apple Watch 4 and looking for a inexpensive watch for walking and working out without worrying about breaking. The Fitbit was garbage, but the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is a little more expensive than I wanted to pay but a nice watch. This is exactly want I wanted for a workout watch without all the bells and whistles as the Apple Watch. The design is actually really nice, but the watch face is a bit smaller than expected, but it actually fits nice and hardly know it's on. Here are the good and bad. GOOD: Attractive with nice clear screen, lightweight, a lot of watch faces, watchband east to take on/off, More apps than I expected. Easy to setup and sync, pretty accurate. BAD: Disappointed with battery life. I was hoping to get at least a couple day charge, but barely lasts a day. IOS app is buggy and can't always connect to the Galaxy Store. Not too many watchbands available for the Galaxy Active. Backup/Restore is worthless, because it can't really backup anything useful like the data and watch faces. I reinstalled the IOS app and lost all the data and had to re-pair and reinstall everything. Samsung need to supply a reliable cloud backup/restore as Apple does. It's not an Apple Watch, but I think it's a pretty decent watch compared to others on the market.

Absolutely love this watch. It does everything all the other top brand watches do except have a speaker other than that its great. Only bad thing is the battery life stinks. You pretty much need to charge it every night or it will more than likely die during the day.

I'm coming from a gear fit to an active 2 which is amazing when comparing the two. It as a speaker so you can talk from watch, workout features, heart rate, it even monitors your stress level. Just a great watch all the way round. I gave a 4 star because the battery life is not that great, the hours it show you have left is not true, watch must be charged every night. Battery life may last you 36hrs max.

I've had this watch for a few months. It's my first smart watch, and there's a lot I like about it, and some things that I hope Samsung can fix in a software update. The good includes that it seems pretty durable, and it's easy to use. I think it counts my steps well and does a good job with heart rate. The bad has to do with accuracy, and here I'm taking about in measuring workouts and providing data. This morning, I ran 4 miles. My Galaxy S8 says it was 4 miles, and my watch says it was 3.89. Samsung Health on my phone says I burned 822 calories, while my watch says I burned 466. The calorie count isn't huge for me--just a guideline anyway, but the distance thing is irksome. My biggest complaint though is open water swimming. This is the reason I bought this watch. Yesterday I swam a mile, and I restarted the tracking at the turn around point. It's a regular swim for me, and I know how far it is, which is good because my watch told me I swam 0.29 miles out and burned 54 calories, but the return trip was 0.06 miles and I burned 2 calories. Obviously, each leg was half a mile. I'd really like it if this watch could do a better job of measuring this distance, because I would like to track my sins in other places where I don't have landmarks. Again, the calorie count is not a huge issue, but it used to tell me that I burned 3000 calories during that same swim (which never has the same distance recorded even though I swim the exact same course). I'm not sure why the Samsung Health app and the SH widget on my watch use different algorithms to determine calorie burn, and I can't figure out why the Galaxy Watch Active does such a poor job of tracking my swims. It does better in pool swims (separate widget), but if you pause to clear your goggles mid-lap, it's going to count that lap twice (and you will PR that lap). Here's hoping someone from Samsung will see this review and they can develop a patch for it. Oh, the battery life is not "days" unless you're sedentary. I charge mine every night, and when I did a Sprint Tri last weekend, it died on me later that day. How much battery life you get is directly correlated to how active you are! Still, I love that I can listen to music without having my phone with me, although without my phone, the watch can't send or receive texts or emergency alerts, so if I'm going to be out of my neighborhood, I still put my phone in a running belt.

Awesome watch that does everything you need. However, it does have it's downfalls. It has very little storage and the operating system takes up much, if not all, of the storage after updating out of the box. I only mention this because I was looking forward to downloading music onto it and not needing my phone when going outside on a bike ride or walk, but because of the small amount of storage I wasn't able to do that. The watch also loses battery pretty fast if you have a very colorful watchface or something with a lot of white, even so though it lives for about a day and a half with a dark or less colorful watchface. Some great and handy things it does do are locating my phone when I can't find it, and vice versa, connect directly to my Bluetooth headset/earbuds, track sleep (even naps!) and exercise and give detailed d, check texts on the fly, and more!

Love the watch! Didnt spend an arm and a leg and ok bc of that I have to charge it every day and a half but it will last on save battery mode till i at least get home. I dont care to have a speaker on my watch bc I dont want everyone listening in on it. Overall I love it

This watch does everything I hope it would do. I paid a couple of dollars to get a different watch face that I liked and all is good. I like that you can remove and add different widgets to keep track of what ever you want to keep track of. The only thing that I have found is that it needs to be charged almost everyday depending on how far you get away from your phone that it is connected to. But other then that I love this watch. I like the sleep mode on it for night time. You dont get blinded by light in the middle of the night if you bump it or turn your wrist.

I mainly purchased this for the step and workout tracker and got a little bit more. I do wish there were more widgets on here and that the screen was a tiny bit bigger but other than that, I really like this watch. The battery life isn't what I like it to be but its tolerable. The only thing I dislike is the material of the bands, as soon as I sweat or it gets a little damp from me washing my hands, it made my the skin around my wrist peel so I can't wear it often. I just need a regular fabric one that won't hold moisture under the bands. Still a decent watch.

I was looking to replace my fitbit so that all of my activity could be checked/captured under the Samsung Health App.I can receive emails and text notifications. I can respond with pre generated messages or write my own. It does not have the call feature, but that does not bother me. Swim with it. Only downfall is the short battery life. Incative- battery lasts almost 2 days. If I am very active then it will only last about a day.

Slick-looking watch. Syncs with my Android phone. Drains battery fast so you will need to customize your apps. Loving it.

This watch is ten times better than the fitbit versa. It tracks my steps, work outs, sleep, and I can play music. I love that i have 3 ways if texting people back what I want to say and I also have quick responses to choose from. Only thing I don't like is the battery. Even with everything on low settings and still being able to use my apps, the watc in lasts about 10hrs give or take. But overall I'm very happy with it!

This watch is really nice with all the features that I need. Only one exception. I do wish that the battery life was longer. With the night mode it will last longer, but to have it on in order to see the second hand, it uses too much juice. So in order to keep it from dying you have to make sure you charge it every night.

Battery life is about 36 hours. It is not 90 hours as advertised. The heart rate function and steps counter is more accurate compared to Apple Watch. I used it with my iPhone XS Max and so it don't have message nor phone call.

omg, I bought 2 of these, one for myself, one for my sister, we are having a blast, we are still learning a lot about them. Not to impressed with the short battery life. Like the step counting of course. So far very happy with my purchase. I might have to get my granddaughter one.

I should've known better than to buy older technology. I was just trying to save some money. The charge doesn't last a day! I'll need to buy an extra charger for work when I go back to work. I have the brightness set to 1 while working from home but this battery just drains. I love everything else about the watch though. Great customizable features.
