    The AMOLED screen is very nice to look at, the glass face is durable and doesn't scratch easily, and a lot of its apps and functions are pretty great. The heartrate recording has been working for me. Works with Spotify. The battery isn't as good as a FitBit Versa, and I think the available watchfaces built-in and in shop aren't to my liking. I want to note that in the first few days of using, the battery dies really quickly. But after a few days, the battery life improves once the watch gets used to your routine. At least, that is to my understanding.

    This was an upgrade for me from my previous Samsung Smartwatch. I love the design. However, I am a little disappointed in the battery life.

    Does mostly everything I'd like it to. Could be better: built-in speaker; actual BP readings, not just % higher or lower thru app; longer battery life.

    The only downside is that is a little bit big and the battery won't last more than two days. The best product/price smartwatch of the market.

    Not the best Smartwatch in Market, but really it worth spending $200 on this. Battery - On an Average Use i get 2-3 Days Looks - Stylish and Looks Nice for Smaller hands Talk/Hear From Watch - Not Available (You can Text or Attend Call but need to use the Phone/Headset for talking/Hearing) Wifi - Yes NFC - Works well most of the time Samsung Health - Not Really Tracking it right - If you have it configured on Watch and Phone, the steps sometimes gets count as sum of both. Alerts - Works well Waterproof - Yes can use while swimming Overall - Great Deal

    Exceeds expectations as smartwatch

    I love this watch!! Fully meets my expectations with smartwatch capabilities. Can receive and respond to texts, emails via the watch with phone nearby. Can answer calls also. I would have given it 5 stars, but it does require charging every 2 days or sooner. Also, I exercise a lot and find the cycle app does not calculate calories correctly. Ex-I took spin class for 45 mins and watch said I burned 50 calories haha. No worries because I didn’t buy it for exercise tracking, even though it does have other activity tracking features which work well.

    After looking around at some smartwatch options I came across the Galaxy Watch Active. I was looking to purchase two of these and when I saw the discounted price I jumped on it. It has all the features a basic smartwatch would offer with the styling to match that of a more premium device. Overall we are very pleased with out purchase and would recommend this device for those wanting to get into the smartwatch accessory without wasting time with some cheaper alternative.

    I really like that it looks like an actual watch, and it certainly does almost all of what I need it for. But it's a bit of a letdown to find out that it will sync with non-Galaxy phones, but you lose a lot of the special bells and whistles that it touts in its product literature. And it's a bit misleading to read that battery life is 90 hours to find that it barely lasts 36 if you actually use it as a smartwatch. Overall, I think it's great, but if I'd read the fine print, I may have ended up with another brand that plays better with my phone.

    Battery life sucks!

    I absolutely love everything about this watch excluding the BATTERY LIFE! It lasts 6/7 hours even if I put water mode on. I need this to last my whole 12 hour shift but it doesn't. I previously bought a knock off watch of this and the battery life was amazing. Lasted 2 days. Because of the horrible battery life I will have to return this. Sucks because it's so pretty.

    Love the size, much more reasonable for a small woman. I do miss the speaker the ability to answer the phone from the watch, like the 42m.

    I have 2 small kids so I'm constantly checking time for naps, feedings, etc. So nice to be able to always have time in front of me and in the middle of the night. The battery lasts a long time and doesn't take too long to charge. A lot of options for changing the watch face so feel like I'm getting a new watch all the time. Only negative is that my watch disconnects from my phone a lot, I'm assuming they get too far apart since I don't carry my phone on me often. Otherwise positives far outweigh negatives.

    After doing some research on the various watches that assist with fitness and wellness, I settled on this device. It has performed as expected, tracking all of the critical metrics I am interested. This phone allows for call notifications to come through which I am able to respond to via text message. Battery life is a solid 4 days of continuous use which was another desired requirement. The small screen is somewhat limiting but overall, it's a solid watch for the functionality you get for the money
