    The watch is great, works just as it should, very fast, reliable, battery life is great. Doesn't get uncomfortable on the wrist even with extended period of usage. Love I can wear it everywhere even in the water. Works great and synchs to my phone flawlessly. Good buy!

    Love this watch. Excellent look, sleek design, quick and intuitive software. Health tracking and apps work really well. Heartbeat sensor seems accurate. Workout detection is amazing. Numerous times I've gone biking and it automatically detected it without me doing anything. Great battery life too. Bezel works well but does activate pretty easy.

    Samsung hit it out of the park, this is a stylish watch. Battery life for 44 mm is great. Has big selection for watch faces, Large selection of work out apps. Touch bezel on watch is a nice feature, better than original galaxy watch. Screen nice and bright in direct sun light.

    This watch is stylish and is a fairly accurate heart rate monitor. The voice commands are much easier to complete than previous Samsung smart watch models!! I love that the rotating bezel is still intact. Battery life is wonderful, I would highly recommend this product!!

    This is my first smartwatch and so far I am glad I went ahead and made the purchase. The watch is well built, comfortable, and has tons of functionality. I'm still learning things and love all that health data I can track and see. Satisfied thus far!

    Couple quirks, but overall good device.

    Coming from an iPhone/Apple Watch, this is a solid device overall if you're switching to Android/Samsung. There's a couple of things/gestures that I don't like, but feel that I will either get used to or will be corrected with updates. Biggest thing for me is the raise to wake screen time out. Unless you have a digital time display set, sometimes it can take a minute to get the time, the screen times out in less than 4 seconds unless you touch the screen, then there is a setting to adjust the screen out time. Samsung needs to allow the user to control the raise to wake screen time also. Also not a huge fan of viewing notifications when you have more than one from the same program, i.e. emails or texts. It lumps them together, and you have to make sure you hit the number instead of the actual notification. Wish there was an option to disable the lumping and instead have them all swipe-able as single notifications. My last complaint is that sometimes the raise to wake glitches and the screen turns off before you can even view it. That may be in part to the app I have that extends the raise to wake screen timeout, so I can live with it for now until Samsung gets smart and adds its own option to do so in an update. Huge plus is the price compared to its competitors.

    Sleek and fashionable yet keeps track and keeps up with my active lifestyle. Still waiting for ecg and BP functions to be updated(that's up to Samsung). Also I recommend getting a screen protector for it. I've gotten some scratches already.

    This is a great smart watch, i recommend the 44mm version to have better experience viewing and typing messages and interacting with your widgets. Just so you know, the Samsung Wear wearable App can be buggy. This App did not fully work for me until not too long ago. I could not view or customize the watch faces using the App yet I had no problem doing that on the watch. However, while using the App any face I chose did not show on the main pane, it kept trying to load but couldn't complete the task. I reached out to customer service a few times and was pretty disappointing as they were unable to solve the problem and did not sound professional. Long story short, there has been a few updates, the Wear App is fully functional now and I no longer have issues using it. On the positive note, this watch battery lasts roughly three days without charge, the watch faces available are beautiful and there are tons of cool functionalities. My 4 stars come with the assumption that the issue with the Wear App has been addressed and the customer service is in a better position now to assist customers experiencing the same issue.

    Pretty good, not quite perfect

    Overall the Active2 has been a good device. It tracks activity accurately and does all the fitness related items really well. I've found with HR monitoring on all the time, I can generally get just under 2 days out of it which is quite good with HR monitoring constantly on. Samsung Pay is convenient and works well. I've worn it in water several times using the Water mode and have had no issues there. I do have two main complaints with the Active2. 1) The touch screen is way too overly sensitive for me. I've had numerous accidental activations and random apps getting launched from the screen being accidently bumped on. I was able to improve this somewhat by decreasing the touch sensitivity and then all together turning it off. 2) Performance could be a bit better, find often times a bit of lag when moving through menus or apps. It's not terrible, but does feel a bit slow at times. Overall quite happy with this smart watch.

    I had been looking for a smartwatch for months. There were many reviews that rated the Active 2 as the best. It can work with either Android or IOS. I have now had this watch for about a month and am very happy with the features and battery life.

    I simply wanted a good looking, fully functional smart watch to compliment my Galaxy S10+. I wanted something to have both form and function. It looks great on my wrist, feels comfortable, and lasts about 3 days between charges.

    I upgraded my wife's Samsung watch and she is in love with this latest version. It works perfectly for her healthy tracking. She can change watch-face as much as she wants, and the battery life lasts for several days. A really great watch.

    I had a Samsung Gear S3 for 3 years. Lived it, except for the battery life. Once it started lasting only 3 or 4 hours, I figured it was time to upgrade. I bought the Activec2 based on what it can do, battery life, and course, customer reviews. The Pros: great looking, can use all my Facer designs, does what I want it to do, and frigging unbelievable battery life. The Cons, well actually only one: while the screen is very scratch resistant, the casing is just the opposite! I think it'll scratch if I look at it wrong. I have scratches that appear to be caused by laying down a motorcycle after doing 100 mph on a gravel road. Well, that's not what happened. In fact, I have no clue as to what happened! With the scratches on this, one would think you would notice when it happened! Other than that, I absolutely love this watch!

    Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm Aluminum

    I got the Galaxy Active 2 watch to compliment my Note 10. They work well together keeping me in touch with my notifications. I got the bigger one (44 mm) in silver. I like the light grey watch strap that tucks in within itself preventing catching on things. I use the watch to track my sleep, and heart rate on my daily 2 mile treadmill walk. Battery life is about 2 days without enabling always on feature. I like that I can arrange the order of apps for quick access. Like the on screen bezel that lets one scroll through windows. Downloaded cool free watch faces that are really bright. Got it for $250.00 before Black Friday. Very happy with my purchase.

    I love this new watch. I switched from Apple. The price is great, the battery life is amazing. It takes some getting used to after so many years of Apple. I feel like the calorie counter is much more accurate, and you feel like you actually earn them compared to my Apple watch.

    This watch does everything that I need and more. Great for viewing texts during meetings, keeping track of your workouts and you can important a picture and change the watch face....it's great! The screen is a little sensitive so be careful when you lean on it.....it will change screens on you.

    I had the Active 1, but it was just too small for my larger wrists. The Aqua Black color is black, until you get it in the right light and then it just appears to be a dark navy blue. The speaker works well, so does the mic for calls. The BT range is really good with no obstructions in line of sight. I got about 50 feet or so. I can cover about 1000 square feet inside the house as well. Bands seem expensive, so I had to go 3rd party, but the stock band works well. Make sure to get some sort of protector, from somewhere, because you will hit this watch on things, catch on stuff, it'll get scratched. The My BP Labs 2.0 blood pressure feature DOES work, but the app is the only app that works with it right now and it is a little wonky. I get 2 solid days of battery, from night to night, 1.5 days, day to day.
