    First smartwatch. Did a ton of research and this one kept coming out on top for what I wanted. Looks great. I got the cloud silver thinking it would be much more versatile for all clothing. Did not disappoint. Still learning smart watch world but this thing has worked flawlessly this far.

    Initially when I got the watch, I was frustrated by all the watch face options and data screens. After a few days I finally settled on a watch face and then began using all the data screens. After a week, I was comfortable with everything and have now had the watch almost a month. Pro's: Good Battery life, sync's with Strava (and Garmin), comfortable size, lots of data options, automatic activity tracking, customizable alerts when connected to the phone. Con's: Electronic Bezel is a bit unnecessary, drains phone battery if you leave it connected constantly.

    Overall great purchase. MUST put the watch and Samsung heath app on your phone. Easy. Enjoying the step counts and health monitoring features a lot (heart-rate, EKG, stress, sleep patterns). All work well. The fitness workout tracking also very good. Multiple types of workouts nice. GPS tracking fine. Bit hard to kick off workouts and see details on watch; need phone to view details on both workouts and health monitoring. Getting around functions on watch a bit tricky -- manuals and Youtubes help but could be a lot clearer. Lot of trial and error needed.

    I've had this watch for a year now. What a great watch. For the price, you literally can't go wrong. If you have a samsung galaxy phone the native integrations with the watch just make it amazing. I will say the ECG is a little wonky. But the rest of the health monitoring is phenomenal. I also love it for controlling music that I stream or cast from my phone. Also oddly, it's great for locating your phone (attention parents everywhere).

    Fit, feel, and functionality are exactly what you'd expect from a quality manufacturer like Samsung. With the availability of additional bezel covers and watch bands, I can wear my watch every day with a unique color and watch face. Tracking fitness and sleep have never been easier. Perfectly integrates with my Samsung smartphone for calls, text, reminders, and notifications even when I don't have the phone right there in my hand.

    Got the Active2 for my girlfriend and she loves it. The pink gold color always gets compliments. I got her the 44mm size since it's a touch screen and figured the bigger face would be easier to use and it looks really good even on her smaller size wrists. The ability to make and take calls from it was very important as she is in constant communication with clients and co-workers and doesn't have to constantly have her phone in hand while on the move.

    I've owned all Samsung's watches. This is by far the best one. The battery life is great. I normally get 2 full days out of it. The apps are great. I have no lag, seamless transitions and it's comfortable on my wrist. Yes this one is only bluetooth, but I dont really need service just for my watch. I can store songs on the watch and use my Galaxy earbuds to listen to music without my phone. Plus even while I am working out the bluetooth range is my than enough if I need it.

    So light I forget I am wearing it. Can track sleep, exercise, water, coffee, etc. Looks great and can change the band for a different look. The touch bezel while not as good as the physical bezel, it does the job. Still no MST (long live Gear S3) so only NFC payments. The notifications are great. There are some good quality apps but not nearly as much such as Wear OS or Watch OS. Recommended to pair with a Samsung phone to get the most out of it.

    Great screen display, below average health trackin

    If you are looking for a smart watch with a great display, play music, read texts, phone call, etc. this is a great watch. However if fitness tracking is your primary purpose in purchasing this watch, then this may not be the watch for you. While the smart watch does measure steps, heartbeat, etc. there is no tracking ability. I mean it does not save the data on the watch or phone, so you can look at your fitness trends and history. This is important to me because I want to track my steps, heartbeat, stress, sleep over a week and month. My last smart watch was a $100 basic model that I purchased 3 year and I could check details like how many steps I took over the last week/month, what is my average heart rate, how much sleep did I get over the last week/month, my stress level last week compared to this week, etc. I also purchased the Samsung Active 2 to measures blood pressure, but the process is convoluted and complicated requiring you to sign up for a study that asks allot of personal questions. In spite of signing up for the study I was unable to get a single Blood pressure reading, the sensor wouldn't provide a reading even after 10 mins of sitting still. Also, for some strange reason, the heart monitoring feature forces the phone to be in a very secure mode by enforcing a screen lock.

    Using this watch with a pixel 3. It's very responsive and quick. I'm getting about two and a half days on a charge. The only cons I've ran into is that Spotify is the only music app on it. Would be more better if they had Pandora and or YouTube music access. Also, the fitness tracking is not as good as Fitbit and the amount of stairs seems to never hardly track with it. Apparently this is a known issue with this watch as many people complain about this. Overall it's still a descent watch.

    Smart watches are pretty helpful. They keep me notified, but out of my phone. Helps me stay focused and not get sidetracked scrolling every feed on social media, or stuck in an email string. I get the info I need, swipe away what I don't, and carry on about my business. Samsung has really polished all this in their galaxy watch lineup. Additionally, all of the health tracking features are really nice, and appear to be rather accurate.

    I've had this watch for about 9 months and I don't have any complaints. Works seemlessly with my Google pixel 4a, does everything I need it to do, and has been pretty durable as I have rammed it into cabinets (with a cover on) and it's not cracked or anything. Also the battery lasts forever. I go a weekend sometimes without charging it and I'm still good to go in Monday before it needs some life.

    Purchased in place of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 2, the sensor cover kept separating from the watch back, from daily use (didn't sleep with the watch on). Think it was from sweat and/or sunscreen getting under it and dissolving the adhesive. I've gone through 3 Galaxy Watch 2's with the same issue. I decided to switch to this watch, different design on the back, and seems to be more permanently attached. Time will tell on that.

    I switched to the GWA2 after my 10 month old Fitbit Versa died suddenly. So far the GWA2 has been great. The sound quality on calls is clear and the notifications have worked seamlessly with my Galaxy S10+. It was easy to set up and hold a charge for about 2.5 days. The variety of apps available is expanding and I'm starting to try some of the more fun apps - like managing a PowerPoint presentation from the watch. I would definitely recommend this watch.
