    I love the ease of use and setup. When I got this product I thought it was going to be something I had to get use to. But the wearable app and the watch sync seamlessly. I love that I dont have to have my phone on me at all times to see my messages and notifications.

    My Gear FitPro 2 died it's final death, so I was looking into options, and did some research, watched some videos on YT about the bigger, newer Galaxy Watch Active2. I'm so glad I could find this as an open box on Best Buy, as I have had great experiences with their refurbished/open box products in the past. Who doesn't want to save a little money, right? Everything was sealed and just like new, and I am LOVING this so much, how did I live without it? LOL. I've been using it to keep me motivated with my fitness, it does that well, and the fact that I can take a call with my watch, is a neat feature I wasn't sure I'd really use, but it means I don't have to have my phone on me. Wow! Anyway, I sure hope this lasts a long time, I've loved it so much, I bought one for my husband on our anniversary! Again, from Best Buy. Oh, and it's very comfortable, too!

    I purchased this smart watch based on the price & a family member with the same watch. I like the water locking feature and tracking my swim time, same with health features (do wish blood pressure was an option as it is on the Active 3). I'm happy with the watch but be prepared that the battery needs to be recharged daily and it can take ip to 90 seconds per "percent" to charge. If your battery is down to 20%, expect about 2 hours for your battery to reach 100%, turning the watch off completely will help with charging time. Over all, for the price - especially compared to the Active 3 - this has been a good purchase and there are a number of tutorials you can watch on YouTube for tips & tricks to show you what your new watch can do.

    I upgraded from the watch active 1 and I'm so glad I did. I love the color and finish, the ability to talk on the watch through the Bluetooth feature, and that the watch dings when notifications are received. Highly reccommend to all Samsung users!

    Love this Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2. I like the design of round instead of square. Easy to use and best of all is the great deal to get this watch ($50 off) plus get $120 off for each Samsung earbuds if combined purchase.

    Was bought as a Christmas gift and my sister absolutely loves it. I’d say get the bigger size, the watch has a round shape, and could look a bit small. This works for her, but the bigger size is the best way to go.

    Bought when it on sale ($180). Not bad for the price, speaker is not loud and clear like apple watch, screen response slow, battery last for 5 hrs if you connect to the phone and set screen always on. Over all if it costs more than 180 then you should consider apple watch is a lot better

    It works great! Tho such a shame US version doesn't give you blood pressure option yet (you can use it via 3rd party app, not by default tho). Not too heavy, not too bulky, good color. I like it! BUT I can see it's lagging from time to time while I scroll through the widgets.

    Bought as a gift for my wife and she loves it. Setup was fairly easy and quick. It does have to be charged about every 2 days but it charges pretty quickly. Seems to connect to her phone through Bluetooth pretty well even in separate rooms. Overall very happy with the purchase.

    I decided to upgrade from my Samsung Gear 2 watch. I love the smaller watch face and less bulk. While the face is smaller and less bulky than the Gear 2 the face is not small. I also like the watch band. The strap tucks inward so you don't have to worry about it snagging or catching anything or it accidentally slipping out and you losing the watch. I got the all black watch but I purchased different color bands and face covers so I can have a rose gold or purple or silver with whatever color band I want. Turning the on screen bezel was not as easy as thought at first but I got the hang of it now. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

    This device does everthing we need it to do. We have it connected to an iPhone and it still does most functions for it to be just as useful as an apple watch connected to its native device. We love the style/ look better than Apple watch so we went with this. Def worth the buy!

    I bought this watch for my wife. This watch looks great, is very lightweight, and the strap is comfortable. Battery life has been very good so far....The size is perfect. 40 mm looks chic and stylish on smaller and average wrists.

    Replaced a Fitbit Versa 2

    We've had smartwatches in the family a long time, for me, all the way back to the Pebble. This watch replaced my wife's Fitbit Versa 2 whose screen suddenly stopped working. It's been different, and certainly there's a learning curve which I would say my wife didn't enjoy. ;) But once you understand how to use the common functions, it's a very good watch for active wearers. The only real complaints are battery life if you're tracking activities with GPS, and auto-detection of activities is pretty poor. (If you're shoveling snow and want 'credit' for the activity as a workout, start one manually.) It was a fantastic value during the cyber monday 2019 sales, and it's still pretty appealing now at normal prices.

    I really wanted the silver band but it wasn't in stock. I am so glad. I love the pink gold color. It blends well with whatever I am wearing and doesn't scream for attention. I think that the way the band latches was worth the whole purchase! Why didn't someone think of this sooner? I am able to answer my phone, see texts and answer them, (I also am nagged from the dude to tell me to get up and move I have been sitting for too long - annoying but necessary feature!), etc etc. Feature rich! The only think I am disappointed with is that the screen seems to be easy to mar and it is only a few weeks old. So sad. They had it all going for them, except the screen. However, I would buy again and just be super careful.

    I love this watch. Says midnight blue I believe but it might as well be black. You can hardly see the hint of blue with my navy colored band. I don't like the original band, so I ordered another one from another site. The only 2 complaints I have are, I'm not sure how long the battery is supposed to last? I charge mine once every other day. When it hits 30 or so. The only other complaint is that an app that's for watch "faces" (key word there for the app), sometimes freezes the watch when I'm going to respond to a text. It makes the watch face/app restart. Also it makes the watch drain quite a but faster, even when the only other app I have activated is the sleep portion. Over all, I like it, a lot.
