    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.

    Great addition to the Samsung family of products. I purchased for my wife and she has loved it. She has had it for over 6 months and has zero complaints. So, buy with confidence.

    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.

    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.

    Best android watch right now! Loving all the features and a solid look. I also bought this with a Samsung galaxy buds bundle offer which lowered the head set price to just $30. Overall a great deal and great value.

    This is way more than a fitness tracking device. It can play music and it can be used to make and receive phone calls. Nice looking to wear and build quality is also good. Comes with a wireless charger for an extra bonus.

    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!

    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.

    Nice size watch, i like being able to change the watch face and bands. I got it to help monitor my health so i like that it tells me to stand up and move every so often espically since i sit at work.

    Awesome investment for anyone on the go and can't carry your phone in your hand... instant replies via text right from the watch, answer calls, get notifications.... without pulling your phone out to see!

    Samsung made a really great upgrade. The only draw back is that you can't use samsung pay for two watches. I do have the gear watch which is higher than this for formal occasions, however you could only use 1 watch for Samsung pay.

    Both this for my Daughter last Christmas and she loves it. The only thing is the band is kind of long and only comes large so I have to order a small band. But the watch itself is excellent and well build.
