    Really happy with the purchase of the galaxy active 2 watch it recognizes that I start activities so I don't have to remember to start the activity on the watch each time. The watch band feels nice and comfortable don't even realize I have the watch on.

    I love the watch. I'm happy to say that with this watch you don't have to download a 3rd party hack or workaround to get your messages from whatsapp or any of those other messaging systems. You are also able to respond from your watch by typing or speaking. Love it.. Glad I upgraded

    I originally owned the Gear Sport which I loved, until the sensor cover fell off. I bought the original active but missed the rotating feature to much to be satisfied. This watch gave me the rotating option back. It is nice and compact. My only complaint is that it scratches pretty easy.

    Not the best fitness tracker

    This watch does a lot of things great. I loved the form factor and features. However, I primarily use smartwatches as fitness trackers. From day one, I could tell that the heart rate monitor and calorie counter was significantly different from what I had come to expect from my Fitbit Blaze which this watch was replacing. I finally decided to get a Fitbit Versa 2 and compare them with the Polar H10 heart rate monitor which I consider to be the standard for heart rate monitors. For one of my workouts, I wore all 3 devices and compared the results. The Fitbit showed the exact same average heart rate as the Polar H10 and only 20 calories fewer burned. The Samsung recorded an average heart rate of about 20 bpm lower and showed about half the calorie burn. That sealed it for me. The Galaxy Watch Active 2 went back and the Versa 2 is now on my left wrist as I write this review. If you just want a smart watch, the Active 2 is great. I really wish it did a better job on the fitness tracker side because I would still have it. Maybe next time Samsung.

    I'm very happy with this purchase! It does everything I wanted it to and for a much better price than the Galaxy Watch Series. I can receive and make calls, reply to messages, see my calendar and many other things as well right on my wrist. And it looks great too!

    I wasn't impressed at first, had issues with the number sync, like most everyone else. Once everything finally synced, no issues. I'm an avid hiker, so this watch has been great for keep up with my hikes, even in the rain and snow. This is also my first smart watch.

    Excellent product! Speaker is great, apps are awesome and the quality of the watch is great for the price and functionality. Recording a variety of work outs to sending text messages are a breeze when it comes to this Samsung Galaxy Fit2 watch. Spinning of the bezzel is not bad at all!!

    Great watch, só useful for so many functions. If you need an alarm, it is so subtle, just a little vibration is enough to wake up. You can send text messages (speak to write), type your message or even emojies. It is also very good for tracking your workouts.

    I really like this watch. It is a good size, comfortable and does what I need it to. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there is no way to lock the face. If the watch face wakes up and is bumped, it changes and then needs to be changed back to the one that was selected. Not a difficult process but annoying. Other than that, this a fantastic product.

    I bought this as a replacement for the gearfit 2. I am pleased with the quality of the watch. Wristband tucks underneath unlike regular watches. I like that I can answer calls and text on the screen. The alerts are simple and like the sound. Still learning how to use all of the functions.

    Love this watch. Wish words was easier to see but I am kinda blind. Takes heart rate, sleep pretty good. I can know how much sleep i am not getting. I wish i could walk away from my phone further but at least I can leave the room and it will notify me.

    Purchased for wife. She doesn't usually wear a watch and never has her phone volume up so I bought this hoping it would help with her answering it. Come to find out she really likes the watch and not having to carry the phone to see text messages.

    Wife and mom both absolutely LOVE this watch. Many many many bands to swap out for any look. All the information you want, right at your fingertips without having to find you're phone. Display is great and so many features to make your day easier to navigate.

    Love this watch! Previously had the Gear Fit and the band was unfixable so had to look for another watch. Does all the features the Gear Fit did plus more. I like that I have the option to answer calls from the watch to not miss a call when my phone isn't on me.
