    I live by this watch. It is amazing. I literally got it to help me make healthier choices and take care of my body. It has worked beyond what I imagined from water intake to calories and even steps. This watch reminds me to challenge my self and I have fun watching my growth. Finally able to monitor everything and I'm down 10 lbs!! 10000 steps daily and set my own weight loss goals!!! Must have!

    I want to give this watch 5 stars, it's beautiful, works great, but synching with an iPhone is almost impossible. Worked like a charm with my S8, and I had full use of the watch (notifications, S Health app, etc). But because her work uses iPhones, it ended up being pretty pointless to keep. Initial connecting took forever and didn't work, or finally connected and then would consistently disconnect from the Bluetooth on her iPhone. Reading reddit and other sites, including Samsung support, this is a pretty common issue when it comes to iPhones. Pretty disappointed, since she loved the watch (I did to) but the limitations impossed by Apple (messaging notifications will not display on the phone, but phone calls did come through) render the watch not much more than just a pretty piece of semi-functional jewelry. Can I dock Apple some points for not playing well with others?!?! Recommend for anyone who isn't an Apple fanperson.

    Don't buy for tracking treadmill activity

    Bought this to replace and update an aging garmin watch. I run on the treadmill and outside. When I used this to track my treadmill workout, the calories burned seemed way off, so I checked it with a chest strap heart rate monitor connected to my treadmill and with my Garmin Forerunner 35 watch. The galaxy watch active was always 300 to 400 calories low for a one hour run. I asked Samsung how to fix this and after a 6 day wait for a response their reply was that the galaxy watch active doesn't use heart rate or step count to calculate calories. They said whether you go 3 km per hour or 7 km per it will show the same calories burned. I asked if there is a way to change this so it actually uses heart rate and steps rather than just time, and user information. I have been waiting 3 days with no response. I finally just returned the watch while I could still get a full refund. I don't want a watch that won't do what it is supposed to do and what I bought it for. It is a great smartwatch, just not a good activity tracker for treadmill workouts.
