Frustrating if you work out
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch doesn't sense workouts when your heart rate begins to elevate like an apple watch. It delays it. Then it stops the workout while I'm still working out! I've tried putting the band on tighter so it can read my heartrate but that doesn't work either. If you do HIIT workouts or step aerobics there's no way to program those into the watch so you have to rely on the heartrate monitor to detect you are working out (see above for that fiasco). Also if you don't use Samsung's text service you will get double texts... no way around it. I emailed tech support about it and they apologized but no fix yet. Another workout glitch, If God forbid, while walking through my neighborhood with the watch set on 'walking' and I stop for three seconds it pauses the workout and wants to finish it... give me a break! Stop trying to stop my workout!!! So frustrating if you want to workout. Save your money.

Not a fitness watch
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great watch, but the apps weren’t very fitness oriented. I would recommend for people who are just looking for a watch that will give notifications.

Pass this one
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice style and watch functions well. Unfortunately, the back of the case falls off (after less than 3 months). This is a well documented issue on internet, which Samsung will not address. The loose back does not seem to affect the water resistance, but easy to lose the entire piece as it just randomly literally "falls off". For the price and from a good company I expect more. My wifes watch, so not abused at all, just a poor design.

Pretty cool, but missing some features
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it, however the watch drains my phone battery and the watch battery sometimes drains quickly? I have to play with the settings, but otherwise all good.

Looks good but doesn't work
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought an open box and suddenly on 15th day of purchase the watch started acting up. Now the watch works for some days and won't for others. It's hard to get hold of Samsung customer service, but after 6 months of trying, we got them and they wants us to send it to them, we will with the hope that they fix it, but we are not buying another Samsung wearable ever

Active sport galaxy watch

Not so much
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The watch was in great condition. HOWEVER, it came with no manual. I pushed buttons ... YES ... but how did I do it? I just got lucky ... I wanted it, so I could use it to its potential. I returned it. An it upset me, when I went to the store an asked for help. I was told "Geek Squad" could help me for a charge. No thank you. I'll return it. I would refer this to a friend. But only a new one, so they could get the owners manual. Not an "Open Box"

Posted .Hi, Craig. Samsung can refer an authorized service center to perform any needed repairs. Because your standard one year warranty has expired, you would be responsible for the cost of any such repairs. We are more than happy to set up this service for you. If you would like to receive quotes on service/labor from an Authorized Service Center near you, please visit http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location and let us know where you would like for us to schedule the repair. ^Kayla

Water lock failed after 4th use
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loved this watch at first and wore it daily. The water lock failed after the fourth use of this feature and the watch no longer works. Super disappointed because I was hoping this watch would last a bit longer than a year and a half. If you are looking for a smartwatch just for simple, daily use I would give this product a try but I would be weary of trusting the water lock on this product.

Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a pretty good fitness watch but only use it for fitness related things typically. Don’t use the ECG cause those things aren’t accurate

Not a happy camper!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this expecting more out of it. After setting up, installing & reinstalling 10+ times it still wouldn’t work. I was lucky enough to get the date/time correct! Definitely not worth $250 & frustration! Want to get your money’s worth, don’t buy this product!! It’s not the first time I purchase this brand and have issues with it.

Don't waste your time or money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This watch is a (vulgar adjective)poor idea. Don't waste your time or money! The battery life is under 24 hours, with 2 apps on. The charger is worthless, it has a magnetic connection with the watch and doesn't charge unless you hold your head just right, pray for a connection and set it down just right. The only thing it has going for it, it fits my wrist.

Battery life is terrible.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is maybe a day and a half if you turn off just about everything. Not worth the money spent

Terrible, doesn't even work after 1 month of use.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't usually write bad reviews but this watch is terrible! I purchased this for a Mother's Day gift and it has not lasted even a month. The battery has been quickly dying much faster than the stated battery life and now the unit will not even charge. BestBuy will not take it back because its past the 30 day return period.

Won't buy another samsung
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this watch for 6 months and of course they find a reason the warranty won't cover fixing it. Water damage from wearing in shower no more than 5 to 10 times. Would charge it while in shower everyday because the battery life is less than up to par and charges very slow. It was my first Samsung watch and my last will not buy anything else samsung.

Already a problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watch was really great at first but for some reason it now will not charge. There must be something wrong with the actual charging cable itself.
