    I bought this for my wife as Mothers Day present. She had a Fitbit but wanted a smart watch that was closer to Apple Watch. She enjoys the ability to text and call from the watch. She doesn’t like the fact the battery doesn’t last as long as the Fitbit.

    I have this watch and the Samsung Galaxy and I must say that I like this watch better. It is easier to use and the transitions from one screen to another are so much smoother. I love all the features and the color is fantastic... goes with just about anything.

    I finally replaced my Galaxy S2 from 2015 with this Active2. My expectations weren't super high, but after wearing and using this for a couple of weeks I'm sold! Everything about it is butter smooth..battery life is excellent, although it will drain somewhat when using the workout routines that use GPS (although the GPS can be turned off for a specific workout if desired). It is noticeably lighter to wear than my S2. Bottom line is it's a great watch at a very good price in my opinion. If the S2 is any indication, Samsung builds these smartwatches to be durable. Mine was still functioning perfectly...just started to notice a bit of decline in the battery holding a charge. Highly recommended.

    at first I had small problems with it but it was because I didn't understand how to make it work. A Best Buy employee helped me with my watch and from then on I was very happy with it.

    I had been looking at this one for a while since I wanted to upgrade and be able to use Samsung pay and text on the watch. It works absolutely beautifully especially when I'm out and working.

    I love the size of this watch. I had the gear s2 first and it was way to big and bulky for a lady, I love that this one comes with two sizes and the option to play music right from the watch

    I really like this watch/tracker. I purchased it because there was supposed to be an app that you can download to be able to take your blood pressure. Was disappointed to find out that it is NOT available. Other than that, great watch/tracker.

    This watch is great! The only complaint I have is the battery life. It will last 2 days (ish), which was more than my fitbit Charge 3. Obviously this has a bit more bells and whistles than the charge 3, so power consumption is higher...

    Wonderful Smart Watch - Active2!!!

    I purchased this Galaxy Active2 as a special birthday gift for my wife. She had the earlier generation of the Gear Watch but this new version is amazingly "smarter" and multi-functional! She adores the comfortable band and she bought additional colored bands to matche her outfits. It is easy to set up and the selection of watch faces is varied and simple. The best feature of all is the ability to use the watch as a phone when OUTside of Bluetooth distance. This is invaluable for her so she can receive and make calls, text and read e-mail when her phone is safely stores in her locker at work. Really a wonderful new technology tool!
