    I have had the new Active2 now for over 30 days and I like it a lot more that the Gearfit that I had previously. The dial is obviously a lot bigger that the Gearfit but you also have more exercises to use for tracking. I got mine for $50 off so it was worth it. I like the looks of it and it has a lot of watch faces for free and to buy if you don't like the 15 default ones that come installed.

    I love this watch. It's great and I use it to keep track of steps, calories burned, and the whatnot. I used to have the Fitbit Alta and Charge 2 but wanted something more - more smart watch than fitness watch. It has a really good speaker for calls too. My only con is that the silicone band irritates my skin, but I have very sensitive skin. Getting a leather band helps.

    Great watch overall- very sleek design, light weight. I love the fitness app on it to track my steps and my heart rate. Keeps me motivated to stay in shape. I also love that if someone calls me and I'm on a job i can talk to them on the watch for clear sound and the other party can hear me as well. It's not to hard to text on if either.

    Great Fitness smartwatch

    I had a Huawei smartwatch and found it very helpful. However, because the bracket broke, I was looking for a replacement. Since I am an avid Samsung Galaxy phone user and recently upgraded to the S10, I wanted to get a Samsung smartwatch. I looked at the Galaxy Watch initially but it was a bit bulky for my workout. I then looked at the Samsung Watch Active. I liked it but since the Active 2 was going to be released, I decided to preorder that one. I'm glad I waited. It does a great job of tracking my activity and alerts me for my messages. I also like the answering the phone function. I didn't want the LTE version because of price and extra phone line. I went with the 40 mm mainly because I didn't see a big difference between the sizes other than cost.

    My wife loves this watch. It had a few bluetooth connections problems, but resyncing and restarting bluetooth seemed to fix it. She is active outdoors and taking care of horses and the band gets dirty quickly. An easier to clean band would be nice. The battery stinks. Constantly having to recharge a modern piece of electronics on a daily basis isn't great. Easy to recharge, but if you don't keep up with it, it'll be dead often.

    My girlfriend is a Samsung user. She never wears watches but got her this watch for Christmas and she loved it !!! It’s very easy to use and it looks pretty on her small hand. It was an amazing purchased. Bought it the day of Christmas, with Best Buy pick up option it was so easy and fast to get the gift ready for Christmas. Highly recommend.

    I upgraded from the Active to the Active 2. I love the way the Active 2 fits. Most of the time, I forget that I even have it on and is even comfortable to wear while sleeping. The new features it has are helpful, although I'm sure I haven't even used this watch to it's full potential yet! The only downside, which isn't a huge deal to me, is the battery life. Online it said 5 days but it is definitely more like 2. Overall, a great watch so far!

    The Samsung - Galaxy Active2 Smartwatch is easy to setup, and can be customized to meet your own styles and needs. I love it because it keeps me from missing calls when I forget to turn my ringer on and allows me to scan emails and texts at a glance. It has great features for tracking exercise. The battery last for about 36 hours, so it does need charged every day.

    Bought this gadget over a year ago and am still happy with it. Also bought one for my mother (92), and she loves to watch it to track her steps. It's a great incentive for getting her steps in and reach her goal! I use it to track my running (loping). I find that its distance meter is inconsistent when compared to my gym's track measurement (especially after the watch has an update).

    Great addition to your tech repertoire! Frees you up from being tethered to the physical phone and let's you quickly and easily check emails, voice mails, texts, make calls, etc. Seems to have a pretty good range away from the phone. Display is large and beautifully clear. My wife loves it...she says it is the thing she didn't know she needed til she got it.

    I love his watch. When i use the phone on it, people say it is clear to hear. I don't have to have it right up to my face to talk. I love the tracking on the fitness part of it. i love the simplicity of getting emails, texts etc on it. The soft strap I also love. The blush color goes with everything I wear. Very happy with my purchase

    Was looking for a low profile watch that offered lots of features, very pleased with what I received. Accurately records steps, heart rate and exercise. Easy to answer calls when phone is near. Love the reminders to keep moving. Haven't attempted underwater. Still working on how to text, little confusing. Battery lasts a couple days if you don't use too many features. But when very active, I'd appreciate a longer battery life.

    Love my new samsu g smartwatch. The only issue I had to begin with was getting the daily briefing and do have to say samsung customer service has a long way to go as they were of no help. I was transferred 3 times and they wanted to transfer me a fourth time when I got frustrated and decided to try and figure out on my own. Only gave a 4 for ease of use due to this issue.
