    Easy to set up/use. Pairs perfectly with new Android phone. It automatically synchronizes alerts/messages/calls. Like the reminders to get up to increase movement in order to stay active/on track for fitness goals.

    this is a wonderful watch and Samsung always delivers. I like how veritable it can be with any outfit and it has almost every app that you would want in waTch. The voice is clear when it comes thru during calls and its clear to view.

    My new Galaxy Watch Active2 is a superior watch. I'm still learning about the capabilities as it came packaged with only a quick start guide which does have the watch up and running and connected ti my Galaxy Note10+ phone.

    I have had several smart watches and this is by far my favorite. Its easy to use, very comfortable and offers a lot of features for the price. The movie mode which mutes your alerts for a preset amount of time is very useful.

    I bought this for mother's day to replace the Fitbit Versa 2 that was burning her wrist (look it up). She has loved it so far and loves the apps and the fact she now can talk through it without picking up her phone. The one big drawback is the battery is only good for about a 1.5 days versus the Fitbit at 4-5 days. d

    I enjoy wearing this watch. Love the apps and ability to answer calls. Track my workouts. Disappointed in battery life. It has to be charged at the end of the day. Battery goes down to 10%. This makes it difficult to wear while sleeping to track sleep pattern. I have only a few apps running during the day.

    It is a very resistant smartwatch, excellent in performance, only the battery should last longer. My wife has been wearing it for a year and a half now and it looks like new.

    I bought this to replace my Gear Nano 2 that I've had for like 5-6 yrs...bought it with my S5! It still worked great and would hold a charge for almost 4 days! But, it was ugly and surely not "lady-like", But, I knew how to work it and it still did a great job... No bugs, screen was still like new. I gave it to my 11 yr old son... Paired it with my old S8... He's in heaven! This new Active2 has so many new features.. it's taking me a little while to get them all figured out! Granted, I haven't been able to spend as much time on it as I would like... but, I have tried to specialize the ones I want and the one I don't and I'm not sure If those have been deleted... Seems like they are still there? I have a mostly desk job... So I do like the "you've been sitting for almost an hour, you should get up" Reminder..lol. I love the sleek pretty design and its in Pink! My favorite color... still trying to figure out what the 2 buttons do... The old Gear only had one. So,.. only giving it 4 stars... It is a bit more complicated and taking me longer to figure out... and I'm not a newbie to these watches.

    I went from a fitbit to this samsung watch. Overall pretty satisfied The only thing i dont like is how fast the battery dies but ive just gotten used to not tracking my sleep. I thought is use the text and call feature more but texting on it takes forever.

    I like this watch. It's comfortable to wear and after a few nights sleeping in it for the sleep tracker, I got used to it. I can't seem to get it to link to my mapmywalk app to where I can see the map that I've traveled when I walk. Also, if you don't think to put it in battery saving mode or turn off the location when you're not using it or keep the screen from automatically coming on, the battery may only last for a day. Not something that is useful if you're an overnight hiker. I do like using it with my Samsung health app. I like that I can put a picture of my own on the watch screen. It has a few different screens to choose from. It worked well on a call while I was out in the garden. I could hear the other person well and they could hear me. I don't think I would spend over $200 on the watch again, knowing what I do know about it. Maybe less, but no more.

    This is an awesome watch, coming from a person who doesn't like watches, I love this watch so much . Amazed at how much it can do. With so many different faces to choose from to tracking your sleep, steps, heart rate and more, this watch rocks!

    really enjoying this watch with smart caddie installed. the golf app is nicely designed for easy use with minimal interruptions to the game. mostly i use the gps distance to green which is the default screen. readings compare favorable to garmin handheld unit i also have. when different i suspect the watches slope reading is the reason. map view when needed works great with very clear graphics. score keeping is efficiently handled as well. like the colored green elevation view as well. watch is great off the course as well for health and activity tracking. using it with iphone and installed samsung apps. when used with iphone, there are a few limitations like not being able to respond to texts on the watch, but for me, that is not a priority. so far very satisfied.

    I decided to switch from the Samsung Galaxy watch 42mm to the Active2 40mm. I felt like the 42mm was too big for my wrist. This one fit perfectly. It has all the same features as my previous watch, as well as new features.

    I love the Active2. I was a 2nd Gen Samsung Watch S2. So I miss the actual bezel but I love the 40mm size it fits so much better. So comfortable I forget I'm wearing at times. I love all the different watch bands.

    My only complaint is the battery last for about 36 hours, if I'm lucky. I really enjoy using it though. I do not use all the apps, just ones that are helpful while wearing it. My favorite feature is to answer the phone from my watch. My husband had no idea I was talking to him through the watch.

    This was a beautiful smart watch. It was classy and yet functional. I personally think it was more accurate than the fitbit that I was using previously and I like the additional features. Wish the battery life was better.

    great watch, I get all my notifications on my watch from apps and messages, answer calls, track my day and lets me know when it's time to get moving again . I really like the fact that it can be costumized to how ever you want it
