    Good Watch to Use for Active Lifestyle

    Pretty good product IMO. Got this a few years ago to replace the previous version. The prior I was swimming with in a pool and the adhesive keeping the top on just floated off. I was able to find it and get it back on but it was dead in the water (pun intended)....The new watch here is still very durable and works well with my Samsung cell phone. Really nothing negative to say. I hold 5 star reviews for out of this world products but 4/5 I still would say give it a go.

    I originally got a Galaxy Gear Fit2 Pro for my first try in the SmartWatch scene. It was good but didn't have all necessary features for my daily life and battery life was at average. Completely different story with this. There are different workouts to choose from. The apps you can download have gotten much better. The battery when the watch face is on all the time is roughly 2 days for me. Love the Daily Briefing with weather and today's calendar. Texts been cool as can talk to send or type on screen keyboard on watch, only complaint is not qwerty keyboard but I can manage. All in all I would highly recommend this watch to anyone looking to join the SmartWatch community or just upgrade their watch in general.

    I had the Samsung frontier watch and it was too bulky. I actually wear this watch because it’s more comfortable. It’s easy to use and allows you to not always pull out your phone. The battery life is great

    Very impressed with Samsung and this watch. Very slick, very fluid and is a lot more accurate than my fitness band that it replaced. Feels great on the wrist, it's light and and since it auto starts activities, it's already leaps and bounds ahead of my old one, especially with the sleep tracking. That said, Best Buy and I have very different definitions of like new/excellent for an open box purchase. This was a curbside pickup so I didn't inspect it fully until I got home. The band needs to be replaced as it's beat up and dirty, the body of the watch is missing paint chips and the bottom needed to be scrubbed. I'll ordered a case for it since it will be used for hiking etc but the description was not accurate.

    I started with a Pebble, then went to a Pebble Time. I loved both of my Pebbles. Eventually, I went to an Apple watch for work related reasons (calls from the watch are convenient, sometimes.) There were some features that I liked about the Apple watch, primarily the nightstand mode with the tap to view. Then, a friend loaned me a Gear S2 Classic. Instantly, I knew that it was time to buy my own and get rid of the Apple watch. I'm an Android guy who had to carry an iPhone for work. Apple watch made very little sense for me. I decided on the Active 2 after a lot of back and forth between it and the Galaxy Watch 46mm. It fits great, is not bulky, has a brilliant display, and lasts three or four days per charge. This is a great watch!

    The best watch for Android Phones!

    Amazing smartwatch for the price. It just beats Apple's super expensive watches out of the water. I have a pixel phone and by having that to only two things you lose from the watch are the app store inside the watch and Samsung Bixby. But you still can install apps from the phones wear app. I can get two full days of usage plus one night of sleep tracking on a whole battery. And by far this has the BEST health sensors of any smartwatch I have ever seen. even beating apples which are amazing. If you have an android phone or a Samsung phone would be even better you will not de disappointed with this watch. The quality is just outstanding!

    Love my watch and it does seem a little behind on calories burned but you just have to turn on the work out tracker when you're working out and also set up your correct body measurements. Then it's usually spot on. I've had the Apple watch too and it's the same issue. The stairs that you've climbed never seem to be accurate but do I really care about that? No. The steps are spot on as well. I visually watch it count my steps on the Samsung health app. What is awesome is now the new bezel feature... Which allows you to quickly access other apps and change the volume with music. The music is awesome too because I connected it to my Spotify account and it will play your Spotify music on the watch when you're away from you phone. The only downside is bixby... Samsung has really gotta work out the kinks on that one... Terrible voice recognition. However, overall I love it! Lots of improvements compared to the last one

    I upgraded from the original active to the active 2. The 44mm is a really good size since I have big hands. The battery life is incredible. I picked it up mid day on a friday and turn it off at night because I'm not interested in sleep monitoring. It is now Sunday evening and I'm at 53% battery remaining. I highly reccomend it even at the higher price than the original.

    In this past year I have tried many different smartwatches. I always avoided buying Samsung thinking I wouldn't work best with a non Samsung phone. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is by far the best smartwatch I tried. I honestly can't think of one bad thing to say about it. I blew me away with the quality and how nice it truly is. The setup of connecting your phone to the watch is as simple as 1,2,3. I personally have a Google phone, and everything worked great as well as connected perfectly.

    GALAXY WATCH ACTIVE 2 SILVER

    I love the big screen on the 44mm and its simplicity. It does what it was meant to do, and I even added the Blood pressure app and it was close enough to the blood pressure cuff but was not exact. Not a deal breaker for me. I had originally bought the aqua black 44mm which had a smaller tighter band and seems smaller than this silver one. I have owned several of the previous versions of the Samsung watches and this one is my favorite one by far. If you have tiny wrist like mine then I suggest the 40mm you might have to order it because none of the stores within 30 miles had any in stock. I love this watch and once i exchange the 44 mm to the right size I will finally be happy.

    Awesome watch ! I love this watch. I can read my email and answer the phone when I cant get to my phone . Fyi you do not need a watch plan for the watch to work it work fine with my Samsung G Galaxy phone note 9 (also with older phone my friend has and older galaxy phone) I purchased the watch from best buy because my cellphone carrier try to make me buy a watch plan in order to get the watch. I do not need a separate telephone number for my watch! so buyer beware buying a watch from certain cell companies . The watch works perfect with my phone . I can see text messages, my steps and it even prompt me to stretch if I sit too long.
