    Fitness tracking

    Excellent fitness tracker, not great smartwatch

    I guess my understanding, through finding this watch, was that it was a smartwatch with an emphasis on fitness. Since purchasing it, I've realized it is a fitness tracker with limited smartwatch capabilities. I'm unsure of whether or not that's because of the intended purpose of the watch, or if it's Samsung's OS for watch phone accessories. Google WearOS seems to be a better medium than Samsung. I gave it 3 stars because it does what I think it's intended to do, but would have given it less stars had the fitness tracking lacked. Smartwatch capabilities are grossly unpleasing with the she of technology this device was founded in.

    This is the perfect fusion between smartwatch and sports watch. It is my everyday wear watch. After a recent update its seems the battery last even longer.

    HUGE Miss on Media Controls

    After having this for almost a year it's just meh. It doesn't 'stick' to the charger very well and the battery life is disappointing. I like the health monitoring and steps tracking but that's about it. The biggest flaw is that you can't control your media seamlessly (if you are listening to music, phone isn't in reach and want to skip a song this watch doesn't have the option to control any of that). on the plus side, it's sturdy and good feminine size/shape. Also, my 2 year old would like it known that she is VERY disappointed Mommy's watch doesn't have Mickey Mouse to tell her the time like on Daddy's Apple Watch.

    My biggest issue is my own eye sight and having to charge it daily. I was hoping to have the option to increase the text size. It's definitely a fun watch to own, you can make phone calls, answer them, alarm, activity tracker (no, it doesn't give you your blood pressure values) and heart monitor. I think this one is much better than the Apple watches it competes with (I don't want to be forced to own an iphone). At the actual price it's really unbeatable. Has tons of functions I am still discovering... the "Hi Bixby" (a cousin of Alexa) is a cool feature.

    This is a great replacement for my older Gear. I like the look and feel. The smaller footprint makes for a more feminine look and feel. I really like the band that tucks in.

    Does everything I could wish for and more. The speaker. Ease of putting music on it so I can leave the phone behind for runs. The only downfall is I was used to the battery life of a fit bit so charging almost daily is a pain.

    Battery life isn't the greatest, barely makes it 2 days with most powersaving features on, but I sleep every day so its fine. Works perfectly otherwise.

    The Galaxy Watch Active2 helps me keep motivated to stay active. It is light weight so I barely notice that it's on me. I have the pink gold one and the colors are so soft and pretty. The bands are super easy to change. You can choose from several different free and paid watch faces. You can get call, text, and app notifications (or choose to turn them off). You can also text from the watch and make/receive calls. I previously had the original Galaxy Watch Active and I loved it too. I upgraded because I wanted the ECG capability.

    This is my third Samsung smartwatch in the last 4 years. I purchased this watch after a warranty claim for my Galaxy watch (less than 1 year old). It was an upgrade from the Gear S2 that I had for 3 years. I like the look and feel. It was an adjustment to no rotating bezel and I sometimes struggle to get to the right screen still. I really like the smooth look. I had a plastic protector on it for the first few weeks. It just kept getting water under it when I washed my hands. Took it off and have not had issues with screen damage. Connects to my Galaxy S10+ with no issues. Battery life still at least a day. I found that lots of notifications meant it needed recharged daily. Since I reduced it to only a few apps it lasts at least a day and a half.

    Good Smartwatch

    At first glance, I thought I wouldn't like the watch because of its size. I had the Galaxy Watch (1st Ed) and I was in love with it until it broke. Trying to find a replacement was difficult because of the amount of apps you could put on it. This watch was almost as equally as good, aside from not having a rotating bevel. I liked the functionality of it and it lasts a good two days before I have to recharge it. Every once in a while, I won't receive messages from my watch when someone texted me, so I'm not sure if that's a glitch or it's a defect. Other than that issue, the watch is functional and it does its job. It's also good when you are running or walking since it keeps track of your activity.
