    Bought this for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it! Great style at a great price. She uses it for fitness tracking so it is a win win. Definitely worth the price. Samsung you have done it yet again.

    I love my Galaxy watch. This is my first smart watch. It looks nice and fits securely on my small wrist. And pretty easy to understand. I am very pleased with my purchase. I really love that it syncs up with my Galaxy smart phone.

    I bought this watch as a birthday gift to myself. The best gift ever. It tracks my steps. Allows me to gauge my work out and calories burned. It also keeps me informed with my calls,text, and emails

    Watch exactly what I wanted. Doesn't have a speaker so doesn't make sounds for notification and you can't answer calls, but does vibrate. You can see and answer text messages through the watch.

    My galaxy watch is my absolute favorite!! I use it to help me stay active all day and reach my goals for my steps. It's nice to be able to sit my phone down and walk away from it for awhile but still get notifications.

    I'm really enjoying this watch. I have a Samsung phone and it's compatible with it. I can basically do everything from my watch. Now that I have it, I can't see myself without it! Great battery life too.

    I went online to research Samsung Smartwatches because I felt my boss could benefit from one, I love my Smartwatch. It was an easy decision with the help from my Best Buy Rep and my boss was super excited about the gift.

    This is the first Smart watch I bought and it's pretty good. For some reason the battery goes very fast but if I connect it to my phone through Bluetooth it lasts longer.

    I did my homework before purchasing. I didn't need a very high tech watch and didn't want to spend a fortune. Plus I did not want an Apple product. I am very happy. I still need to find some fun bands.

    My wife had a very small wrist and want sure she would like wearing a smart watch, she has had a fit bit but they only lasted so long and were not very "fashionable" so you a chance on this one and she loves it.

    I bought this one for my husband, he loves it! He keeps tracks on his health and we get to compete one another the screen protectors I bought them off amazon and they have accessories on amazon. The color is very eye catching.

    Generally works well and is very easy to charge on the induction charger. I love that it doesn't have any pins to line up like my previous smartwatch (from a different brand). I love the sporty look, the round face, and the green color. The ability to change watch faces is fun but not unique to this watch. The find my phone feature is great, and probably gets used 5x/week :) Couple minor things I would improve on in future models -- 1. Would love easier access to voice activated Google search rather than Bixby. 2. I miss being able to "navigate" using Google maps by voice as well. 3. When pushing a stroller, the watch registers distance but no steps and thinks it is tracking a bike ride. Not sure how to fix that one.

    This watch made the perfect gift for my mother. She has been looking and couldn't decide. I have the S3 Frontier and love it. But definitely not for a woman. This watch is the perfect size and very easy to set yo and use.

    It was a Christmas gift for my wife. She loves it. Gives her instant readings of her heart rate when exerciseing, alerts from her email and phone calls and messages even when her phone is on silent or not with her.

    This watch is perfect for the basic things you need for it to do. I thought this one had a speaker, but it does not. I love the features. However, I did trade this one for the Active 2. Watch is great. I love Samsung!

    Overall it's a great product I really enjoy all of the features that it offers the only drawback is that there is no speaker so that I'm unable to actually answer and communicate on my phone with it,

    This has been a good watch and all the features making better. The only issue is that the battery life doesn't seem to last as long as it shows.
