    Works flawlessly with Samsung phones and haven't had issues pairing with Sony phone. Might look small on big wristed or more heavy set folks. Looks better on slim or petite females.

    Screen could be a little brighter but overall it does it's job and keeps me on schedule. Wish it had a speaker so I could listen to my tunes without bluetooth.

    Wow!! So many features!! The only complaint is the battery life goes quickly. I researched and found some tips and it worked but kinda still drains quickly.

    Amazing watch that has toughed through a lot of outdoor activity without any issue. I always have a screen protector on it. Great updates to newer features when available (like the virtual bevel, etc). Since I liked to use it for sleep tracking, getting used to when to charge it took some work. Apps work smooth & quickly. A family member borrowed it to use with the FitBit Sense for comparision. She likes the FitBit app graphing & wanted to test the new sensors; otherwise she said she'd pick the Galaxy Active hands down! Highly recommend!

    I treated myself to this so I could have a watch and fitness track in one. What I dont like much is that I have to keep it on power saver too much or I have to charge it more often.

    Wife likes it but it frustrates her that you can't rotate the screen for left handed folks. Batter performance is one day barely with light to moderate use.

    Very dood smart watch, when on defaultstatus, battery loses power in about two days, even though turned off at night. Lasts several days on power-saver mode, still turning off at night.

    I'm wearing this watch daily. Has a good battery life, bright screen, plenty of features. I was looking for the smart watch that is good for swimming. This watch is working excellent so far. I read lots of reviews on this watch and many people complained about: "when watch started malfunction it was send to Samsung for repairs. The reply from Samsung was that "unable to repair due to the water damage"." To avoid any further interaction with Samsung I purchased $40 replacement plan from Best Buy. They promised that no matter what happened to it they going to replace it or give me the store credit for the value of the watch.
