    Great watch till updates

    I purchased my watch back in November. Loved that it keeps track of my steps accurately, my pulse rate and stress. Being able to get my messages on it w/blue tooth was great especially when I was working, I could hit the mic and return my answer verbatim the mic was very accurate. Now after a few updates to my watch, the mic no longer works I have tried multiple things to get it to work and nothing so really missing that part of my watch. Also loved the choices of work outs you could turn on when you started such as treadmill, walking. Timed them perfectly and then could shut them off. Since the updates I can no longer shut them off when I am finished. The walking will eventually detect you are done and shut off. The treadmill will not I literally have to shut my watch off to get it to shut down and I can't go through the samsung health app to shut them down either so that is a huge disappointment. Also having Spotify on the watch is great however you have to have a paid subscription to listen to it. It won't let you listen to the free Spotify. I took mine off since I don't plan on paying another fee. Otherwise I really like all my apps on my watch and how they work. I am really hoping they put out a new update that fixes everything and not break something else. Charge stays for a day and 1/2 maybe 2 depending how much I use it.

    18 year old daughter loves it. She uses it obviously as a smart watch (monitoring emails, texts, alerts, etc) but loves to track her workouts on it. She has had one issue when it did not track a workout. Hoping that was a fluke. Overall very happy. Daughter loves the look.

    I had no idea I would love a smartwatch as much as this. I got this to upgrade from a basic tracker, and really didn't know what to expect - I absolutely LOVE it. Getting message notifications is a gamechanger, and means I don't look at my phone as much but can still keep up. Fitness tracking tools are great for my somewhat basic needs. The blue black of AquaBlack is a slightly odd color (although the blue is quite subtle) and slightly regret not getting the rose gold, but I can dress it up with a blingy band instead. It is light and comfortable to wear, and the 40mm isn't too oversized. One thing: it took FOREVER to connect to bluetooth the first time, to the point I thought something was wrong with it and actually took it back to the store. It took close to 10 minutes to finish the pairing process, but once it did has been running perfectly with my non-Samsung phone.

    Fairly easy to learn all the features the watch offers. Lots of activity tracking options. Also like the calendar app and the weather app. Only disappoint with the watch is that I was told you can track your blood pressure along with the heart rate, but I haven't found anything that will track the blood pressure. I usually have to charge it every two days.

    I thought this was a great watch for a short time. I used it for about 3 months before switching to the Apple Watch. It scratched a lot on the screen and had to restart it a lot. The battery on this is better than the Apple Watch though. I really liked the sleek design and look/feel of the watch. Just wished it could of been better.

    I like the look and the different face options. I find it very useful in tracking my health goals such as sleep and water consumption. I also like that I can track my stress. I also use it as a timer for certain exercises. The watch keeps me informed of the weather and breaking news.

    Links well with Samsung Note 10+, mimicking modes on the watch that the phone goes into as well as having a few tricks of its own. The activity monitor and reminders are an added bonus. Little bit of a learning curve but does more the more you figure it out.

    I wanted to replace my Fitbit. I like the size and shape of the Active2. The battery life is not great, I have to take it off every night and recharge it. It's not really user friendly. I have finally figured out most of it, but it took quite a bit of playing with it to get there. I am happy with it and would buy it again, but wish it was more user friendly.

    I’m loving my Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch. I had no problem setting it up and I’m not very technical. I just spent 9 days walking hours on a beach and counting my steps and then converting them to miles. I would highly recommend this product.

    I love the features on the watch. The only thing I'm not at all impressed with is the battery life. I have many features turned off, yet the battery still drains quickly. Aside from that, I'm loving the watch. There are many faces from which to choose, the information is helpful, the notifications from my phone appear quickly. Other than the battery life it's a great watch.

    Love this watch! I previously had Fitbit Versa, but decided it was time for a change. I love the ability to reply to texts straight from the watch. I'm still learning a lot of the features, though. The only negative at this point is battery life. I have to charge the watch every 2-3 days, where my Fitbit initially lasted 5-7 days.

    I bought this for my girlfriend and after the 1st series this Active2 is so much better, the design is better and much more sleek than before. My girlfriend absolutely loves that one charge can last two days or more with regular use all day, the selection of watch faces and apps.

    2nd Samsung watch. Had 1st for 4 years and band broke. Tried another brand for the style and it didn't last 8 months. Back to what I know best. Watch has better functions than previous and lives up to the Samsung name in quality and functionality.

    My wife replaced her Samsung Galaxy watch with this Active watch. It fits really well on her wrist since this model is a little bit smaller (40mm) than her previous Samsung Galaxy (which is 42mm). She loves all the feature of this watch, kinda similar to her previous watch.

    Great watch, I've had it almost 1 year! I mostly use it to get reading from my CGM (continuous glucose meter.) I get my blood sugar readings right on my watch! I also love it for text and notifications so I don't always have to be checking my phone.

    Watch face is the smaller of the two options Samsung offers. Therefore it fits my wife's wrist very comfortably. Battery life is good but not as good as the bigger option Samsung offers. You will go all day without the need to charge it. You can find that you can go in to the next day as well. Watch has all the bells and whistles. Good watch for fair price.

    I started with Fitbits and got to like having some of the "practical" functions enabled. Fitbits have had a few too many software issues for me, and I honestly wasn't as interested in the health functions as much as the notifications, texts, alerts, apps, etc. When I researched what was out there, Samsung's immediately caught my attention. I am an Android and Samsung phone user, so a perfect fit. But is also so much more attractive than Apple's or Fitbit's! Samsung usually innovates way before Apple takes credit, and this is an example. This watch has so many capabilities that I haven't even gotten to explore them all. BUY ONE!
