    When I purchased this watch I wasn't sure to expect. After wearing it for a little more than a month. I truly like it and all of the functions that you can do with it. I was a little concerned about battery life. I found that the battery life was really good. I am very happy with mt purchase.

    Got it for my wife and she loves it. She loves it for workouts. jogging, Walking. Tracks and notifies at each mile completed. She added pictures to the watch face and gets all of her notifications through watch as well. Watch face is large and easy to read and battery life is great.

    It's not just a watch. Now I don't miss a call or urgent messages because I am doing my exercise. On top of that, it monitors my health by checking heart rate, calories burned, steps walked, sleep quality. It's light and comfortable to wear all day long. A very useful accessory for my phone indeed.

    Not the most popular smart watch but if you are a fan of the Android operating system, which I am, this watch is great. It's super easy to program and customize using the "Galaxy Wearable" phone app. One head scratcher: Widgets are labeled "widgets" where they're selected from for watch screens. Where they're selected from to put on the watch face, the label "widgets" is changed to "Complications". Complicated, isn't it? Advice: Have the person who sold you the watch pair it to your phone and do an initial setup of the watch face and widget screens. The first watch bought was for my wife. Setup went smoothly. Then I bought a 2nd watch for myself and it wouldn't pair with my phone. I'm glad I caught that in the store. I requested and received an immediate refund. The next watch they sold me paired right away.

    Was resistant to buying a smartwatch for a while but needed to get one with an ECG function due to heart issues. The fitness tracking is great, but the ECG only gets a clear signal from my ankle not my wrist *LAUGHS*. The band is a little big for me but I have tiny wrists so thats pretty typical. Other than those two things the watch is fantastic!

    If you take the time to log your meals, which is quick and easy in the health app of your phone and do your steps and work outs with the watch, it will retrain you to a healthier lifestyle. All you have to do is try. Great product. One tip, turn off the auto pause, its annoying.

    I used to have a Fitbit but over the past couple of years it stopped syncing with my phone so it became useless. I have been searching for a good replacement and found the best one with the Samsung Active 2! I like that you can easily set up and sync the Active2 with your phone (I have an LGV30). It tracks your sleep beautifully! One of the best features is that you can change the watch face which is awesome! It is full of wonderful features (too many to list here) that you can add and remove easily using the Galaxy Wear App. I've had it for about a month now and I am VERY happy with it! I also recommend the Samsung Ear Buds and the ZAGG Invisiblesheild ultra clear screen protector to go with it. Worth every penny!

    This continues to be my favorite of all the galaxy watches. I loved the design and the feel of it on my wrist. The only thing I would suggest is that you don't wear it if you do physical work or you might scratch the screen.

    Decent but battery does die kind of fast depending on use. Strap and all is nice. Seems to track steps better than phones and such. I got it open box so paid around $200.00. Anymore than that and probably wouldnt be happy with it. Def get this based on reviews as price goes down vs the active 3... 200+ more for the active 3 really dont make sense.

    My wife talked me into the Active but it was just too small for my wrist. I came from using a S3 Frontier which was a great watch, but bulky and not that amazing for exercise. I switched from the active to the active2 and haven't thought of going anywhere else. This does everything I need it to do and has some pretty awesome features. The water lock option is pretty neat and allows me to swim or wear it in the shower. The speaker for answering calls is a little weak but I don't really use it often. This is definitely the watch for an active lifestyle. One thing that bugs me though is the GPS is weak. I was running and had a long sleeve that covered the watch and it failed to record half my run. But lesson learned, I just need to make sure the watch is visible.

    I didn't intend to buy this watch. I just wanted some cheaper Samsung beans. Now when I wear it I feel fancy, rich even. I love the watch. I never want to wear it though cause I don't want it to break. Suggestion; mini screen protector. For your mini gadgets.

    So I upgraded to this from the Samsung Galaxy Watch in Rose Gold. And I love this!! I was having issues with the previous watch's bezel, but this one is beyond perfect! The features are fairly similar with minor upgrades. But I love the style and size and battery life of this one so much more!!!!

    Overall, I enjoy using the watch. The battery life is impressive and doesn't seem like it is a lot different from the original Galaxy watch. I am not sure about the accuracy of the steps counter. Some apps aren't available for non Samsung phones.
