    So far so good. I like the watch, it tells the time and more. I've used it to take calls and it waa very decent sounding. I also like getting notifications on my watch and just hanving to look at my wrist instead of my phone. The watch also promotes physical activity. If you sit still for too long it will prompt you to get up and go stretch or walk. You can also use to log your excersices, go for walks, jogs measures your heart rate and more. Lots of apps you can use. Battery life is good. I usually charge everynight but have gone two days beforw having to charge. I am excited to start using my smartwatch to help me be more to be active and healthy. Only downside for me is the length of the watch straps. I have fat wrists, like 9 inches around so I had to purchase longer straps to make it comfortable to wear but if you have normal wrists it should fit well. Straps are easy to change also.

    Pros Better battery life. Good build quality. Light to wear. Very smooth user experience. Cons Only bixy is available(which I don't use not a bummer) Biggest bummer is Blood oxygen and ECG is only available if you have a latest samsung phone. It doesnt work on any other android or apple device just on samsung phone not even on samsung tablet.

    Best watch ever one problem

    My gear sport finally bit it. Made the upgrade to the g watch active 2. It's fantastic and I love it. However as with my gear sport the animations when loading a notification are way too slow, it takes about 2 to 3 seconds for the message to appear. Other than that I love this watch it's almost as good as my Apple watch was (back in my dark iOS days) if they could fix the notification issue or allow us to turn off or speed up notifications like you can do with your Samsung phone it would be perfect. If they fix this I will update to a five-star.

    The first time ordering this product the website stated that the watch was in perfect condition no scratches but when the watch arrived two weeks late which is normal unfortunately covid-19 isn't friendly to anything. The watch wasn't responding to my touch sent the first one back, and the second watch arrived on the box it also said in perfect condition no scratches. but when I open the box there were two small nicks on the glass, and some scrapes around the metal body. Not willing to send the watch back because it is used I can't expect it to be perfect I bought a screen protector and a case and now we can't even see the flaws, the watch is working perfectly so far and it's been about 3 weeks.

    I love my Galaxy active to watch. I am able to receive emails text messages and phone calls without the need to use my phone. The only thing I did not like is the keyboard. Text to talk feature is not that great either. There is always delays and always gets the wrong words. If there was a qwerty keyboard that would top this product off. I also love that I can add a face case to make it more blingy.

    I really like it with my Galaxy 21 ultra, but a lot of features are so good because of that. I feel like it isn't as good as the old Pebble watches, especially with the apps and customization but it's still really good. I do like the stress meter, the step counter, and the on board memory allowing for Spotify to download music to the watch, although it can be difficult to update the downloaded music.

    The watch is easy to use and convenient. I dont always carry my phone when I'm out on a bike ride or when I'm hiking, and so it was nice to be able to track stats. Its also a bonus to have the heart rate monitor and sleep tracking feature.

    The samsung style watches are easy to pair and you can customize them a lot. I like the open options to change font, background, add/remove apps, and make it my way. This particular device does not make calls or can type texts...which is totally fine as thats what my phone is for. I definitely like this product.

    This watch is better than my S2 and my Samsung Frontier. With this one I don't have to have a data plan to connect to my phone. But I wish I could download apps directly from my Samsung Active 2.

    Still working with it

    Little backstory. This was an open box item listed as satisfactory due to minor scratches. I wasn't aware until an employee told me that you can inspect an open box item before purchasing it. After myself, the employee, and my aunt looked it over we couldn't find a single scratch. It came with the original box, manuals, and a charger. It was $60 off. It's the Bluetooth version. This is my first smart watch. I've read reviews that people are having issues with unexpected water damage. When I bought it I was told if I sweat to make sure to wipe it down before charging it. I don't know if that's what's causing other people's problems. I also saw that people are constantly pressing the side buttons by accident. I haven't had that issue at all. Pros: It has a great look. Granted it's my first smart watch. As long as my phone is in Bluetooth range I can receive calls and respond to texts. My phone is always on me but when on silent at work or in my pocket I usually don't hear it. Having the watch helps not miss a call. It tracks sleep patterns. I'm able to see how much of my sleep was REM, deep, and light. Helpful to know so if I don't sleep well I can have an idea as to why. Cons: A full charge lasts no more than 2 days. It charges fairly quickly. I wear it constantly so I only charge it when in the shower each day. Tracking my workouts hasn't been easy. When running on the treadmill (as you can see from the pictures) the distance is off. Not by much but enough to bother me at least. The workouts don't work unless you use the exact motions as displayed on the watch. When I do squats it only detects them when I keep my hands at my chest. If I use weights to add bicep curls it won't count them but when I raise the weights above my head it counts too many. I thought maybe it because I was wearing it too loose but I've tightened it and I'm still having problems. I usually have to select the basic workout so it'll record something instead of nothing. Today I was bowling with family. Halfway through my watch was telling me I had gone an hour without any activity. Yet I was jumping around and throwing my hands in the air. The step counter is very sensitive. Some hand movements trigger steps. Weird because it detects steps when I'm sitting and sorting papers at work but can't detect that I did 20 squats. Not sure if step counters are usually so sensitive. I know they aren't perfect. I've only had it about a week. It was bought for me as a gift so I'm trying to give it a chance before deciding if I should return it. Hopefully it works better in time.
