    Style and performance

    I purchased this product as a gift for my wife. First of all the display is crystal clear and the colors pop. It may be too soon to tell but the UI is so smooth and free of any jitteriness. My wife wanted a watch that would track her steps and other healthy lifestyle statistics but that was fashionable enough that she could wear it when in formal dress clothes. We went with the silver and it's a beautiful piece of smart jewelry. The battery plus all day and still has roughly 30% when she puts it on the charger at the end of the day. She has zero complaints however we are going to look into a different band. While comfortable, the grey band seems to scuff and appear dirty after minimal use. We're going to look for something may be darker or of a better material.

    So far it's working well for me, still figuring everything out but for someone not so tech savvy I'm liking it. Seriously considering adding it on to my phone plan for even more use.

    Perfect solution for having music for the gym

    I used to have an Apple Watch and it was good. I never really did much with it. I would track runs, listen to Apple Music, heartbeat sensor and track steps. That was about it aside from seeing notifications. But having to pay extra for the data and extra for Apple Music just didn’t seem worth it. Fortunately the Samsung Watch can actually hold music files on the watch itself. You don’t have to pay for data or for a music service. You transfer the songs over using your computer and you are good to go. I have about 200 songs on here right now. It’s perfect for going on runs or to the gym. I got it on sale for $115 and I like the circle face better than Apples square face.

    Great stylish watch. Love the different watch faces that you can change when you get bored of one. Tracks my steps and distance. Battery runs out quickly (less than 2 days) but love it otherwise.

    I am loving my watch, so comfortable and stylish. I wear it everyday. Wish it wasn't so small to read, may be there is a zoom in button. I am glad to get some technical support from Shari in the store, she is great.

    stylish enough to be worn for most occassions, simple enough that even a non-techie could function it. Setup took a moment. Only complaint is the rare occassion the screen zooms and you have to power cycle the watch.

    My wife loves the sleep tracker. She also talks about how it tells her to get up and move this is nice while working from home! Also vibration on the wrist for text and email is great!

    My biggest complaint is the battery. I have to charge it every night whereas my other smartwatch lasted 5 days plus. Its defeats the purpose of having it log your sleeping habits if you have to charge it.

    The watch is beautiful, comfortable and very functional. The battery life compared to my old smart watches has impressed me quite a bit, I can get at least two days of heavy use out of it before charging.

    I was chosen to try the Samsung Gear Active. I was pleasantly surprised by the watch. Small, techy looking and pretty easy to use, pair and use. The face of the watch is small for my small wrist, and sleek looking. You have a variety of background "watch faces" that you can select from and personalize the watch face. You can choose to make the watch stay on all of the time, or be activities by hand or wrist movement. A slight flick of the wrist, your watch face will light up with very little effort. I have a background. You can look at heart rate, oxygenation levels in your body, use the Samsung Galaxy Health app to visualize your sleep patterns showing REM sleep, wakefulness, and a few other attributes.
