    I love this watch! I have been wanting a fitbit or something for a while and best buy had a great deal on the galaxy active so I went with it. They even refunded me when the price went down right after I bought mine.

    great watch. Love it for work can peak at my notifications without stopping to see if its important enough to pause. Plus I love having the heart rate monitor for when I workout so it syncs with my heath app.

    After owning this smartwatch for a year, I expected that I would have had to replace it by now. I am very tough on watches, usually replacing them yearly. However, this one has been very impressive in terms of being durable, and it's never let me down. This was my first smartwatch purchase, and I've enjoyed how useful it is to be able to see text messages (complete with photos), emails, notifications, etc. I will definitely upgrade when the time comes. This one was included with my Samsung Galaxy phone, but I would gladly purchase my next one. The battery lasts all day, even after a year of use.

    My wife loves her watch. Forget about that dial thing. They size of this watch is perfect for her. She does not even know it's on when she sleeps. Loves the fact that it connects to wifi.

    I've never been a watch person but when I saw that this is like a small phone on my wrist I thought it was the best idea ever. I'm constantly working or running ereader as well as working out. If you're busy then you dont always have time to take out your phone and text back/ check emails/ change a song/set alarms/reminders/write notes and so much more. This watch makes it all easier. Only down side I wish it had was the ability to talk on the phone thru it. I guess I would have to upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy watch for that but I'm completely happy with this one anyways (mostly because I would have to pay 150 more)

    Decent watch, poor band

    Overall, I'm enjoying the watch. It is very comfortable and easy to wear. Most of the advertised features work well. However, there are some text syncing issues with the message+ app and the surface of the band started peeling almost immediately (I haven't exposed it to any chemicals or anything that could cause it). Those aspects are disappointing.

    The perfect watch

    I love everything about this watch to the point of annoying my wife because I won't shut up about it evidently. It's nice not having to walk around with a smartwatch the size of a garbage can lid. The heart monitor works perfectly, it never has connection problems, has great water resistance and tracks your hikes with Google maps. You won't miss the rotating bezel either if that what a concern. You can even lay it on your Galaxy S10 to charge it, I'll say again I love this watch!!!

    First Ever Smart Watch, and Not Disappointed

    I was a bit skeptical buying this since I've never owned a smart watch before, but for the price, and for first starting off going into the smart watch world, I absolutely reccomend! you can receive calls and texts on this thing, which I absolutely love. you can reply to texts, but can not have a phone conversation through the watch. you can answer the phone call, but not talk through the watch, which I'd rather talk through my phone than the watch anyways. other than that, very great buy!

    I bought for my mom. Battery life is so much longer than her Samsung Gear. Still trying to find the perfect watch face. It is a gorgeous and comfortable watch.

    Bought this for my wife. She loves it. Even the gray band which was not what she wanted at first. Now she likes the gray band, but it has discolored from rubbing on her jeans. We ordered replacement metal bands from Amazon and so far they are working out well. We have previously had Samsung Gear Fit, and Gear Fit Pro (both lasted only about 6 months before some main features stopped working) Thanks to Geek Squad protection we replaced all of them. Have had these Galaxy Smart watches for a year - longest any of the others lasted. LOVE it!

    I like this watch. It does not have a speaker...I don't care because I'm not into having other people hear my conversations or music Battery life is ok I charge it every 1.5 days.... It could let you view more things on the watch instead it sends you to the phone...but it's not a huge deal It's small enough for little wrist that do not like the big smart watches The could have used more of the watch face it has a pretty thick black edge that does nothing but it's a nice watch for the price.

    Love this watch as it not only tells time. It has a Samsung health track keeper, heart rate, sleep monitor and timer, alarms, etc. This watch has motivated me to stay on task with all my necessary meals and snacks, it even includes water ounces per day. Its also a phone, so I never miss important calls. This was a much needed item to help with my overall health issues. Thanks Best Buy at the great offer of my credit card flexible payments.
