    was not happy with the watch and ended up returning it. Features were redundant...not very easy to use. Voice to text was so so...not worth the value

    After being a fitbit user for 10 years the samsung active 2 is a complete let down. I bought to accessorize with my S9 but so not worth it. It looks better but does not calculate workout at a tenth of the fitbit. The health app is not as user friendly as fitbit app either. What's the point of having a "fitness watch" that CANNOT accurately tract your fitness??!!

    As a runner, I have worse these types of watches for years to include Samsung. I think this is the worst. Often stops recording workouts for no reasons, bad batter life, and poor interface. Read my other reviews and you will see I am always honest and almost always positive.

    Malfunctioned after 1 year 7 months ! Constantly in reboot state at first (for 2 weeks it would randomly reboot and get stuck in a reboot loop for hours ) now even with battery fully charged it will not turn on or reboot. Think and consider this before buying the 4 or upcoming 5! Hopefully they fixed whatever this issue is!

    i wasn't getting notifications and it wasn't tracking my sleep at all. I made sire everything was up to date, and correct settings were on i had to contact Samsung support. I did everything they told me to do and it still wasn't working. Very frustrating as i liked the look of the watch and the thought of it.

    Burned me!

    This thing gets super hot (even with minimal use), and burned my arm! It was a combination of the heat from the watch itself, and I think the materials it's made with, but my wrist was burning within minutes. The watch got really hot even when I wasn't using it, or had any apps running on it :( [maybe I got a faulty one]. I've had different fitbit models that haven't had this issue.

    Junk. Watch worked fine for 18 months and then went black. Samsung says it's out of warranty. I guess technically it is but this is the second galaxy watch I've had and neither one made it to 2 years. Really disappointed in samsungs customer service.
