    This watch works well for what I need, which fitness tracking and showing the time. I like the choices of watch faces as well. I havent explored al the watch is capable of, but so far it is working great. Reasonably priced also

    I bought this watch for myself to upgrade from the Gear Watch and it is very nice, not too big not too small, just what I want. I bought the same one as a gift to my friend as well and she loved it!

    I got this watch to help track my fitness. So far so good. Only thing is the battery life. If I wear it during the day I'd have to take it off and charge it if I wanted to wear it to track my sleep for the night. Most of the time I wear it during the day and charge it at night.

    Wife really like the watch for the price. She tried out wearables with the Galaxy Fit, loved it, and enjoys this one just as much. Battery life doesn't seem great, but she charges every night anyways.

    I upgraded from the gear s2 and its smaller but lighter weight comfortable to wear for work. Not LTE but I receive all messages and calls. Easy to text on. Missing the bezel isn't bad its still easy to navigate the watch. Perfect for my workouts pretty accurate

    This is my first Samsung product since the Galaxy S2 a and I'm shocked at how great this smartwatch is. I thought Android Wear was the holy Grail of connectivity, but Samsung has it beat by a long run besides the fact that Android Wear has more watch apps. The battery life is great period! Throw on a black watch face, turn down the brightness to Max low and the battery shines for 3 days with moderate use. Bixby is crap as usual, but gets the job done for talk to text. Samsung pay is great. It takes a minute to get used to though since you have to press the back button, hold it, and then type a password to activate it. The watch is small, but that's what I actually like about it. It's very compact and Petit. I have massive footballer hands so if I can type and mouse around on it anyone can This is a great watch that's honestly better than the fitbit when you compare the together.

    I wanted a simple smart watch that could help me keep track of my workouts and push phone notifications to my watch. This is great for that. I have a phone for work and a phone for my personal use and this keeps me from having to take both phones as I move around this house. Lots of options for the watch face- it's highly customizible. My only negative is that I do find myself having to charge it almost daily so I have to decide if I want to track my sleep of miss counting steps for a few hours during the day. I made the move to the Samsung Galaxy watch after somehow killing two fitbits. I have not tested the waterproof feature on this one yet. My phone is in the Samsung Galaxy family so they communicate really well. If you like Samsung products and want simple functionality with a little bit of fashion for a great price- this is your watch.

    I have been using the Samsung Gear Fit trackers (Gear Fit, Gear Fit 2, Gear Fit2 Pro) because I was most interested in tracking my steps and active time. I do like the curved screen of those watches. When I needed a new one last summer, I didn't like the new "lite" version so I looked at the active smartwatches and ended up with the rose gold one. I love the watch and the functions available. I would consider myself a casual user. I had the heart rate function turned off on my old trackers except when exercising because it burned too much battery but I find this one has no problem with that which is very nice. The floor counter doesn't work well at all. I have a 2 story home so I am constantly going up and down. Usually it registers 4-7 floors daily which is disappointing. I have a very slim wrist so I like that this one is smaller. I think next time I will chose another color.

    I got this for its health tracking and to check email and text. It is great or that. The battery life is just ok. It will only last a day or day and a half if you use it alot. Also, it would not charge on my regular phone Qi charger. I had to get a special phone charger

    Fits great, not too large. I changed out the band for a black metal band, best choice as it looks fresh. Easy to use, the latest update allows you to scroll through the menus around the outter rim like the big brother of this model.

    Make sure you read the description of what the watch features. It doesn't have a speaker, I'm fine with that because I wouldn't want to talk on my watch in public anyway, but for some that might be a deal breaker. Connects fast and is easy to use. Love my watch!

    I purbhased the galaxy LTE watch the battery life was terrible and it was to bulky and cut my tiny wrist. Took it back to sprint and replaced it with this one. Couldn't have made a better choicethe battery last atleast 2 days and it's so comfortable.

    This watch was a replacement for a fitbit charge 3 that stopped working a month after warranty. This watch works well with its customizable features, pairs easily with my galaxy phone, and records multiple exercises. The battery life is as expected as it lasts atleast a day sometimes close to two days depending on watch usage. It would be great if it had a speaker and microphone. When answering a call on the watch you're instructed to use your phone. Because this is a Bluetooth device this doesn't bother me too much. I've had the watch for 10 months and for whatever reason the watch rebooted and never powered up again. I contacted Samsung and sent the watch for repair under the 1 year warranty. Hopefully once I have the watch back it'll work like new.

    Was a present for the wife and she loves it. Battery life seems to be pretty good, and has most health tracking features and some other nice apps. Can preview texts & calls. Plus is it’s compatible with both iOS & droid phones.

    Before I bought , read a lot of reviews. Agree that battery only lasts about a day and a half. Been going into the hot tub and pool and it's still working so I believe it is waterproof. paid $149.99 so good price for a gps fitness watch

    I bought the galaxy active because of the size. Most other watches on the market for androids are just to hig. This watch is a good size and has everything I was looking for other than not being able to talk through watch or listen to music as there is no speaker.

    A very good watch. Not too bulky, which is what I was looking for. Easy to use. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the battery life is not great. I don't think I've been able to get a full 2 days on a single charge.

    I purchased this smartwatch when it was on sale, $50 off regular price. I really didn't need all the bells and whistles of the Active 2 and the price was appreciatively higher. The watch is very comfortable and attractive.
