    I got this as a christmas present to replace my aging watch. This was the perfect replacement for that watch. It's quick, looks amazing and works perfectly. The display on the watch is really clear and bright too. Great for outdoor use.

    I love the look of this watch. I paired it with my iPhone and am able to see who is calling and read messages. Obviously cannot answer the phone but screening the calls is a huge help. Absolutely no regrets.

    I absolutely love my samsung galaxy active 2 watch. The model is light it does not hurt my wrist like my other samsung smart watch. I love the new features like measuring my heart rate continuously and alerts when it's done reading.

    I absolutely love this watch and the upgrades that Samsung made compared to the active watch. I believe that this watch is better than the Galaxy Watch and is on par with the Apple Watch. This is the watch for you if you don't own an iPhone.

    Working in construction i can really destroy whats around my wrist haha. But this galaxy watch has been super useful in many ways and is very durable. Never would have thought a touch watch could take such a beating.

    My second Samsung watch and I really like it. Super intuitive and easy to use. I do think they should have stuck with the rotating bezel as this was something I was used to but not a deal breaker. Everything I need in a smart watch.

    My husband loves this watch. He can go fairly far and still stay connected to the phone. The options to do things on it is great and then we can do everything from our phone is good and the battery life is also good.

    Love it!!! Being a Diesel Technician, I haven't worn a watch in 20 years, now that in the office, my wife bought it for me for Christmas. But definitely get a glass screen protector. I guess I'm gonna keep her.

    As will all Samsung products, be it cell phones or other wearables, it leaves something to be desired, mostly the ability to maintain bluetooth connectivity. Had this paired with a Samsung Note 10 plus and it would frequently disconnect.

    very useful if you want to have a fitness tracker but also want something more than just a fitness tracker. It is faster than pulling out your phone to see stuff like notifications, time, date, calendar appointments, etc.

    Purchased the first Galaxy watch for a friend as a graduation gift and right before the warranty expired it crapped out on her. Thankfully just as this was released, she was able to upgrade for free. She loves it. Get that warranty!

    Long time Samsung loyalist. I upgraded to this from the Galaxy Watch after the last upgrade to that device shortened my battery life to barely a day. Several friends and coworkers have the GWA 2 and raved about it, so I bit the bullet and got one. LOTS to ❤️❤️❤️ for sure, most of which is how lightweight it is. Thought I would miss the physical bezel but I do not. Fitness tracking has lots of great options and various workout. Navigation is simple (operating an Apple watch just gives me anxiety). The only thing I have to gripe about (and it's the sole reason for my 2 ⭐ rating) is the battery. I went for the Under Armour edition because I really like UA products. Not sure if it's just this model or not, exchanged my first purchase for a replacement hoping I simply received a random defective unit. Nope, this battery barely lasts a day. My gear S3 lasted me 2.5 days, my Galaxy watch would last 3-4 (before the update). My first unit would die overnight, the replacement will last through the night but I must immediately place on the charger upon waking. My usage is normal, have a 45-60 minute workout and normal daily notifications. Don't take calls on it, so not using the speaker. Searched tirelessly online for tips and tricks but nothing ultimately has worked for me. I considered returning it but my my Galaxy watch doesn't get much better life after that last update. And I do love the design and how light it is. Even the included fitness bad is my Favorite of any fitness band I've had on my past watches (and I had several). Alas, if battery life is a must consider an LTE model, those seem to have better battery life based on my interactions with friends and coworkers. But purposely did not want an LTE model and again, wanted to rep both my Samsung and Under Armour!

    Best watch you can get! This is the best design way better then the bulky Watch 3. The flat bezzle always for a better more sophisticated look without the bulkiness. Can be worn with anything and still look good

    I liked it. I’m actually not in very need of it, but I’m getting the habit to use it. I’m an iPhone user, but I don’t like the design of Apple Watch and I choose to go for this Samsung Watch and I’m satisfied at how it works with iPhone. I’m just afraid that the fitness tracker is not very accurate.

    I like this watch. It's easier to get notifications than accessing phone. I wish it had an O2 sensor. Having to have downloaded music and the ability to pay with the watch helps when going to workout. Only issue I've had is replying using the watch; it'll reply to more than the person that texted me.

    I definitely walk more with this watch. It's great to receive texts and calls when you're away from your phone. Lots of different types of exercises it can track other than just steps. Very cool device.

    The idea of a dark black smart watch that's bezeless with no moving parts was a cool idea. After 7 months this watch started failing to track sleep and steps. The reason I wanted a non apple watch. Traded for the 46mm Samsung Watch and very glad I made the change. This is essentially a girl's watch.
