    This is my second Samsung Watch, but first Active. It was easy to set up, works perfectly and is extremely comfortable. I usually forget I'm wearing it at all.

    Great overall sports watch. It has all the added features you would want in an fitness tracker with the added feature of working in water. The only down side is the battery does not last long.

    Excellent feel when I wear it. I had the classic watch and the apple watch. I didn't like the feel of them when I wore them. The classic face was to big on my wrist and I am not an apple fan.

    It is a nice smartwatch. I had Samsung GearFit Pro which I loved it because of its design and how it used to fit on my wrist. But, it got damaged and now BestBuy no longer sells FitPro so I switched to Galaxy Active. It is a nice watch, almost same as Fir Pro with little more functionality. But, It is too small and looks more feminine for the man having a big wrist and muscular arms. So, I decided to upgrade to Galaxy smartwatch 46 mm. Other than, I really liked the watch. But, the quality of belts seems to be a little more delicate side compared to Galaxy Smartwatch or FitPro. I would recommend this watch as Fit Pro replacement if you don't care about smaller size and delicate look.

    Any workout possible is in there or you can add it, great for swimming one complaint will be the battery that lasts a full day depending on your routine but otherwise is an excellent watch.

    I got this watch for Mother's Day. It has been a blessing in ways. The only reason I give it 4 starts is because the battery life isn't as good as it says to me. I have to charge it every other day.

    Finally A Good Watch

    After a couple weeks of use, this watch has been very impressive. The workout tracking is fantastic. I switched from Google Fit to Samsung's app after purchasing, which takes a little getting used to---the app is ok, but the overall tracking ability of the watch is great. I am not a power user, but have been wearing the watch for about 17 hours per day and have regularly only used 20-30% of battery life per day (Maybe 35% on days where I track a longer workout). As many other reviews state, the app selection is limited, so don't expect a ton of unique customization. As long as you can get by with the stock functions, the watch is a nice tech companion.

    This is by far the best smart watch we have used. Tried the fit bits and others. The size is perfect for a lady or a teen. This is much classier than the frontier. Just wish it had a speaker.

    Pretty Decent - Works perfect for my needs & more

    So, they took away our pagers years ago since everyone had (& was using) their cell phones. I get therefore get text messages & e-mail notifications at work all day. Previously, I had to pull my phone out each time & unlock to view. Now, at a glance, I can see, screen & respond. The only con is I wasn't even getting a full day on the default settings. Had to tweak the display & others. Now I get two days, not really more (a buddy has a fitbit & says in goes a week - but does not have the functionality of this). I had some BB GCs so it was a great deal. I don't even use all the functionality but I'm exploring. Would recommend if in similar circumstances.

    I purchased this item and picked it up on release date! I have been extremely happy with it since day 1. Having gone from an Apple Watch/iPhone back to a galaxy S10/galaxy watch all at once, it was an adjustment, but this watch (and the S10) has not disappointed. I only wanted the basics, and that's what I got! It works fantastic, and the size is perfect. I love how it looks like more of a traditional watch. The only thing I wish I had known, however, is that you cannot answer phone calls through the watch itself. That has been the only adjustment I have had to make since I had previously owned an Apple Watch. Overall, fantastic watch! I would definitely purchase it again!

    I love this watch! I've had it for a month and it helps me track my active time and more. The features I love are: downloading my spotify playlist so I don't have to bring my phone with while working out, I can keep track of my water intake, and I can swim laps with it. It seems accurate for the heart rate monitor. I have noticed that two weeks after having it, the charger stopped working as well. Sometimes it would charge and other times I just could not get it to charge for two days. Not a big deal though, I'll just buy another charger. I would recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a smart watch or a watch for fitness reasons.

    I looked at many options and this watch does everything I was wanting. I couldn't see spending much more than $200 for a watch, so this one is perfect. My favorite part is the shape and size.

    Overall good watch. Bought it for the wife. She is happy with all the features. Battery life is the only downside. On a full charge maybe 6 hrs depending on usage
