    The watch does what it says it can , but I was very disappointed in the battery life. I have to charge it every night or it will be dead by the next morning.

    This was my 3rd samsung watch, the previous one lasted 5 yrs, and the on prior was the fit bit look... I wanted an upgrade. So no real problems in the past. I was excited and nervous about a new version. I worked great, looked good, and I can talk on it through the speaker. Until I took it swimming, it is water resistant. I have taken it swimming quite a few times. Almost 4 mos post purchase and it died? No warranty and it is not returnable? I think something is wrong with this picture.

    my wife really likes this watch except for the fact it doesn't support fast charge. The watch takes almost 2 hours to charge. This watch should have fast charge capability at this price point.

    I like the stainless. Didn't quit live up to what I was expecting from the hype. It does as expected. Even the smaller size is big on a small wrist. I find myself not wearing it.. Not thrilled with it.

    Battery life was horrible! I turned everything off I could and it wouldn't last 12 hours and I hardly used it. What's the point of having it if you can't use it. So I returned it. I'm not a huge apple person but my daughter has the apple watch 5 and she used it all day, text, taked, called, everything and it out lasted mine by 2 times. Sucks bc now I'm going to have to buy an apple phone and watch

    Very disappointing battery life. It's supposed to last up to 43 hours. Mine has to be charged daily. I only use it for a watch & notifications from my phone. I do not use it for music, email, or Samsung Pay. No other apps were downloaded on it. I went from a FitBit Versa that was charged every 3 days. Extremely dissatisfied!

    Watch performance is as expected but color is pink gold not true gold. Very disappointed. Waited years for a yellow gold smart watch and will have to continue to wait. Sad.

    I had to return the watch. We could NEVER get the LTE to work. Spent hours on the phone with AT&T, continuously promised to receive call backs and never did. Followed the steps meticulously and it would continue to throw errors. I'll just contine to use my non LTE Active 2 :( I'll never buy the one with cellular again. Please know, I place the blame on AT&T more than Samsung...but I'm not keeping something that doesn't provide the functionality it's promised.
