    I love Samsung devices, so it was only fair that I try out Samsungs' watch that will pair with my galaxy phone most seamlessly. The design is smooth but sturdy, and the UI is faster than even my old Samsung Galaxy S8+. The only drawback is how much the bluetooth drains my battery, but hey, that isnt a watch problem, it is an overall problem that will get better as bluetooth technology evolves.

    I bought this as a surprise for the wife. She has been looking to get one and loves it. It's very easy to use, extremely functional, well built, and works like a charm. Definitely needs to be charged daily. Only downfall is didn't come with a charging box so prepare to have a spare or buy one. Kind or ridiculous to expect you to have one lying around at this price point. Five stars otherwise.

    Have only had this watch a few days. It was very easy to set up and connect to my Samsung S10 smartphone. Love all the choices for the watch face. I have a small wrist and the band fits well. I really like that the excess strap fits underneath the band. So far, the battery is lasting over a day even being connected through bluetooth to my smartphone.

    I like the watch, however, sometimes it doesn't count steps and then will jump up or say that I haven't been active while I am walking around. It also seems to be fairly inaccurate when counting stairs, which I know I do multiple times a day as my house in three floors and two I have to use to get in and out of the house. I would have liked to have some sort of cover with it to protect the screen because the way it is rounded causes the face to be the first thing to hit if you bump your wrist on anything.

    I have had Samsung phones for the past 4 years and when Fitbit failed again (3 fitbits, 3 failures, less than 3 years) I finally made the switch. This watch seamlessly integrates with my phone, tracks activity, records workouts and pushes notifications. The only drawback is the short (72 hour) battery life, but that's ok because unlike Fitbit, you trade the extra 48 hours of battery life for actual functionality.

    I bought it as a gift for my wife. She love this wacht for her excersises routines. This is her second Samsung Wacht, the first one was a Samsung Wear Sport, also very good. But this one looks better in appereance and have more funtions. Its works also with a iPhone but with more funtions if you tied up with a Samsung phone. Highly recomended. I

    I got this as an early birthday gift for my dad. He bought a Fitbit but wanted something similar to Apple watch where he can view callers even if he is just a few feet away from his phone (he’s pretty forgetful). According to him, the watch is his new best friend. He wears it all the time and have requested for a band so he can wear it when he dresses up too.

    I mostly got this watch because of the changing watch faces, but it turned into a gadget I actually use all day and very useful for work. From setting reminders, to only receiving important notifications without needing to have my phone out. There are many more useful widgets I still have not tested but am looking forward to it.

    Galaxy Active2

    I got this watch for my mom for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She said the Galaxy Watch Active 2 feels awesome on her wrist comfortable during day to day activities and when sleeping. What she really likes about the watch is that she don't always have to have her phone because it's able to get calls and send messages on the go. But just like with the earlier Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active, you can customize which notifications come through from your phone, regardless of whether you have a Bluetooth or LTE version. the Active 2 now offer closer integration with third-party apps like Twitter and YouTube, so you can interact with tweets or watch videos. Subscribers to Spotify's premium tier can also store songs on the watch for offline listening, or stream over LTE. A built-in speaker means you can now listen to music or take calls without needing Bluetooth earbuds. I really like the wide variety of watch faces available in the Galaxy Wearable app and you can download more from the Galaxy Store. But being able to snap a photo of your outfit and match your watch face to the colors of your shirt using the My Style feature is probably my favorite way to customize the look of the Active 2. Battery life will depend on the size you choose (the 44mm watch has a larger-capacity battery) and how much you use features like the always-on display and LTE, she tells me she been getting 4 days worth of use. And finally the touch bezel lets you navigate between menus easily.

    Bad battery life, but overall a good watch

    I had the previous version, which I really liked, but it died. This has a few extras (like EKG), but it still has an awful battery life. It lasts about a day and a half. If I want to track my sleep patterns, I have to remember to charge it before I'm ready for bed. I have never tried to answer the phone on this, but I have voice texted, which works fine.

    This watch is durable, has excellent features and is at a great cost. Especially when compared to the newest kid on the block, the S3. I bought both watches and did a side by side comparison. While the s3 has more bells and whistles, The active 2 is very similar. I ultimately sent back the S3 and kept the active 2. The price difference wasn't worth the device difference.

    I can't begin to describe all the great features of this watch because I'm still discovering new apps. I figured out how to change the order of the apps so with one swipe I can access my workout screen and select which type of exercise I'm doing. On the home screen I can see the time, # steps, date and weather. I really, really like this watch. Only down side is the battery - it lasts may 1 1/2 days.

    Once you set it up with all the features you want, the battery life isn't great, but I still find it amazing that it lasts as long as it does. A charge overnight obviously means that the sleep features are lost because the watch is on your nightstand instead of on your wrist. However, it is an amazing product and does everything it claims todo.

    I have loved everything about this watch. It was easy to set up, and between the watch itself and its app on my phone easy to continue to customize. It has really helped bring some awareness to maintaining a healthy lifestyle while also useful in the sense of not having to keep my phone in my hands but still see calls, texts, etc. Would highly recommend this product.
