    Samsung - Galaxy Watch

    I've had the Gear Fit2 since June 2016 and was looking to upgrade. I saw the splashy event Samsung held for this in February 2019, and had to get it. My largest reason (besides the fact that the Gear Fit2 will inevitably die) was for the aesthetic upgrade. The Gear Fit2 was very "Hey I'm wearing a fitness watch!" with its long, rectangular curve wrapping partially around the wrist. The Samsung Galaxy Active says "Hey I'm wearing a ... watch!"

    I purchased this on when my older generation watch started to struggle with charging. this watch was a great upgrade. Very easy to customize screens and arrange apps the way you want them. very crisp screen and graphics. Very easy to set up in the samsung wear app. Even allows you to download music to play standalone and reply to text message buy talking into it. Great buy if your looking for a smart/active watch in the middle of the high tech range

    I chose this watch because it looks great with my small wrist. All of the others looked too big. I have a galaxy phone and it works well with the watch. I've had this watch for a few weeks now and my only complaint is that sometimes I find it to be inaccurate when keeping track of the type of movements I do. I can walk back and forth in small spaces but the watch doesn't detect the movement sometimes.

    I have bought an open box-excellent condition item and as promised, it was in excellent condition and liked the features of the watch such as sleep monitor, stress monitor, auto recognition of workouts, heartbeat monitor. It allowed me to save mp3 songs on to this device which eliminates need of carrying mobile while going for a walk or jog. Initially i have received a box without charger and after contacting BestBuy customer care, got a replacement for it.

    I love my new Samsung Active watch. I have smaller wrists and so this was perfect for me instead of the Samsung Gear watches.

    A great purchase for myself. I wanted the watch that stands alone and allows calls and answering, but also had a budget. The associate was very helpful and patient with helping me figure which direction to go. I started with this version to make sure I would use it before buying the stand alone version. I wear it every single day and will upgrade soon. Do not be afraid of open box items. This has been awesome.

    For the price, this is a great watch. I moved up from FitBit Alta, so size matters. Quite small and light, so I can wear it at nite. Charge lasts a full day and nite, recharges in 60-90 minutes. I charge every morn, during breakfast/shower and it's good to go until the next. No speaker, so it doesn't make random annoying sounds (like the Wife's iWatch); but also does not provide audio prompts, so I have to reach for the readers to read all the prompts. I give it a Five, but still no news on the BP software drop :/
