Customer Ratings & Reviews

I upgraded from my first smartwatch, a Pebble Time, since my switch to a Galaxy S10 didn't go over well with it. My wants for that one were notifications and music controls on my wrist. Lately I've found myself wanting fitness-tracking features. The Galaxy Watch Active delivers that perfectly for me - I've used it for walks, mountain biking, even Beat Saber. I also like the sleep tracking, though I don't know what value I actually get out of it... As far as fit and feel, the included band is very comfortable, and the watch is small and light enough that I don't take much notice of it. The green color is evident, but not flashy. User interface is very smooth, and the touch bezel update is fun (but not perfect). Without the always-on display, I can get a little over 2 days' use out of the battery (with the S10, I do get the benefit of Wireless PowerShare, which is super cool!) I'm extremely satisfied with the level of quality and features that it offers, especially for the sale price.

I've owned a variety of brands of smartwatches - Zenwatch, Fossil, and others, the Galaxy Watch Active is the best. The different operating system was an easy adjustment. It works faster, more smoothly and more intuitively than the others did. Tracks heart, breathing, calories burned, stress levels and more. The fitness reminders are helpful without being obtrusive. The watch design is less bulky and more attractive than any other I've owned, especially for small wrists like mine. It comes with two bands - large and small. The one drawback is the built-in assistant, Bixby. It has very limited functions. I over came that by porting the Google Assistant onto the watch. ( Google it!) With a double tap on the home key now I can use Google features. Overall, it's a pleasure to use and wear!

I've had the bigger version of the Samsung Galaxy watches, but they were all to big for my small wrist. I didn't get the smaller ones because I like the round face better. This one fits my wrist perfectly. It's not to tight or to loose. I love Samsung products.

I absolutely love this watch, its sleek and has all the features of the bigger, bulkier galaxy watches. It paired amazingly with my s8 plus and even better with my new S10 plus. It has so many features I'm still learning them. I absolutely love that it is water proof and I can wear it anywhere or anytime and it tracks my sleep, steps, workouts and heart rates. It makes it so easy for me to stick to my health plans. I would recommend this over and over for any lifestyle.

The only surprise (since it wasn't available to view in stores before ordering) was that the color is more blue than the pictures. It also seems like the watch is kind of thick but it's the first smart watch I've owned. Once it's on my wrist, it doesn't seem huge. It is very comfortable to wear. The battery life is maybe a little short? It's not quite 2 fulls days and I'm not sure what settings would prolong that. All that being said, I am really happy with it, I would recommend it, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on features that other versions have.

I really like this watch , it show all my text messages , it let's me read all my emails. it keeps track of my heart rate & it keeps track of my walking distance and it encourages me to walk more . It's really a great watch, I've have this watch for over a month and a week , I'm also still learning it. I only wish I would have waited just a lil bit longer, they now have the Samsung Galaxy active watch 2 out now.

I choose to buy this watch as an add on to my s10+ and galaxy buds combo, and it just seemed to be the perfect fit for what i need without having to pay more for the extra features i didnt really need.(I.e. built in speakers) with this, im able to take/reject calls, which is just perfect since i could just use my buds to talk through. Really nice screen thats not too big, nor too small. Reply to texts with voice and handwriting inputs methods, Samsung pay, and most of course, all the health featured apps already built in on top of the convenient access to a lot of customized notifications without having the need to pull my phone out each time to check. Highly recommended over the flagship galaxy watches sold for over a hundred bucks extra!

I bought this product for myself I love it never imagined it had all the things it has bought it because my casio watch broke I'm very picky don't like big stuff on my wrist my casio watch was veri small the size of a quarter or a little smaller but I saw the Samsung Galaxy watch it matched with my phone so I decided this would be my next watch love it it's wonderful I can track my work out my heart stress txt just wonderful love this watch ❤

After 11 yrs, my Samsung Gear 2 quit working. It was a great product for as long as it lasted; I was spoiled. Shopping for a replacement, I chose the Active 40mm b/c of the screen size. I wanted a speaker to answer calls & listen to music, which the Active 2 has, but it looked too big on my wrist. And instead of paying another $100 for a speaker, I got an excellent pair of wireless earbuds, which worked out fine. There are a plethora of watch faces & apps to customize your watch. The Health/Fitness app is helpful, easy-to-use. Alarms/reminders only vibrate since there's no speaker, but you can select the intensity. Amoled screen is beautiful, sharp, crisp & bright and it's coated w/Gorilla Glass. Currently, my battery lasts almost 2 full days. There are quite a few watch band options available, too (for add'l purchase). Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. The pic is a bit distorted- watch face is actually smaller than it appears.

Absolutely love this watch. It does everything all the other top brand watches do except have a speaker other than that its great. Only bad thing is the battery life stinks. You pretty much need to charge it every night or it will more than likely die during the day.

So I bought this to replace my aging Samsung Gear S2, and it absolutely ticks all the boxes. Its slim, light and you barely notice you're wearing it. This is such an improvement over the previous Gear watches which were rather bulky. The operating system is snappy and responsive and so much better than competitors out there. The battery life is great so far, I'm averaging two to three days of use with a mixture of exercise and just normal wearing on normal settings. The lack of a rotating bezel is sad, I still miss that from my Gear S2 but everything else this does makes it worth it. The always tracking Heart Rate is really cool, lots of data to look at, as is the always tracking stress data. But overall I'm still just so impressed with how fluid and fast using this watch feels, especially compared to the previous Samsung watch it replaced.

My high end name brand Analog watch needed a battery. It is always a pain having to drop it at the jewelers and wait. I primarily wanted something to tell time but thought the integrated step tracker would be a nice feature. I initially went into the store looking at a different model and the saleswoman directed me to this one. I am so glad she did! First, it isn't too big or too small. You can change the watch face and have it turn off unless you turn your wrist to look at your watch or turn it on. In addition to telling time and counting steps it also has a function to find your phone, a reminder that you have sat still too long, constant heart beat monitoring and both quick text replies as well as voice to text and handwriting responses. From the watch face I selected I can see the weather at a glance, how many steps I have taken, my heart rate, % battery remaining and of course the time. This is one purchase I am very happy with.

I got this watch at a steal of a price, and even as a refurb it is a great deal. Works perfectly, looks good as new and seamlessly works with my Galaxy Note 10.

I wanted a smart watch that had all the fitness features, but didn't look like a fitness-focused watch (they usually don't look good in my opinion). This watch looks & feels fantastic; it has a very nice & clear display with vibrant colors, animations and movement in the screen are very smooth. It's connectivity withy my phone is very solid, all the information shared updates regularly (weather, messages, calendar, etc) - I've have smartwatches that I had to synchronize all the time and that got very annoying. There are a ton of different watch faces to choose from in the Galaxy Wear app. The battery charge usually lasts a little over 2 days which is great for me.

Such a sleek light weight watch. Very easy to use and navigate. I love receiving my notifications through my watch. Sending and receiving text messages so convenient. You can only answer the call or make the call through the watch but then will have to have your phone for an actual conversation. Hoping that will change if a new watch comes out. I live in a 3000 sq ft home and receive my notifications without phone being in my hand or directly near by at all times. I dont believe the heart rate sensor is very accurate as it says that my heart rate is at 160 + bpm anytime I check it. I love how easy it is to put reminders on as I do this all day!

Was hesitant at first to try a smart watch but finally decided to make the jump. Very glad I did! After a couple days I'm so used to just checking my watch for notifications now I hardly reach for my phone. The heart rate monitor and step counter are also cool and it reminds me to get up and move if I have been sitting too long. Very comfortable, I forget I'm wearing it most the time. I cant see myself not having one now. Definitely recommend.

This watch does everything I hope it would do. I paid a couple of dollars to get a different watch face that I liked and all is good. I like that you can remove and add different widgets to keep track of what ever you want to keep track of. The only thing that I have found is that it needs to be charged almost everyday depending on how far you get away from your phone that it is connected to. But other then that I love this watch. I like the sleep mode on it for night time. You dont get blinded by light in the middle of the night if you bump it or turn your wrist.

Really liking this new active watch, the round face is nice. Wish the screen was a 1/4" rounder, but not a big deal at 1.1". Already replaced the Silver bands with White ones I found on amazon. Wish this was offered with white bands. This pairs great with any galaxy or note phone. Its currently paired with my old Note 5, till my new S10+ arrives....

I was looking to replace my fitbit so that all of my activity could be checked/captured under the Samsung Health App.I can receive emails and text notifications. I can respond with pre generated messages or write my own. It does not have the call feature, but that does not bother me. Swim with it. Only downfall is the short battery life. Incative- battery lasts almost 2 days. If I am very active then it will only last about a day.

I stopped wearing watches years ago because I work in manufacturing and we are not allowed to wear them. So when I purchased this on a whim, I thought I wouldn't like it but I was so wrong. I love it. I don't feel like I have to always be tied to my phone because I get all the notifications I need on my watch. I can even respond to text messages which is great. I don't think there are any downsides to it.
