    Great watch, I had a smaller gen 1 and decided to upgrade to the gen 2 with the bigger screen. I'm loving it. It's always on my wrist unless it needs charging. Which it can go 2 or 3 days without needing one. If you keep the always on display off, it will go for the longer time. Definitely the best android smartwatch you can buy. Especially if you're planning on tracking fitness. If you're not, go for the regular Galaxy Watch.

    This is a must have, I got it to monitor my sleeping habits the applications are very useful, voice recording as memo, calendar, and the ability to answer or look whos calling in an instant is a plus, gps tracking and workout tracking will help you achieve your goals. Small but yet powerful, battery life 2 to 3 days, I keep the notifications at minimum, just the one I need. ECG very helpfull, stress control and much more...

    Quite happy with the purchase. Works well as a smart watch. Last for almost 2 days. Haven't tried apple watch since I don't have an iPhone so can't compare. Can use nfc for samsung pay. Reasonably good heart rate monitor and health monitor. No ecg though. Water resistant. I wash my watch daily under tap water after work due to covid, so far no issues. Price is much less compared to many others and looks really good.

    I had the samsung gear s2 for YEARS and it finally gave out on mesi i decided to upgrade to this one and im so glad I did! Its sleek and very comfortable to wear. I normally wear my watch all day so i can go roughly 2 maybe 2 and a half days without charging it. I recently traveled out of town and forgot the charger so i usedtge back of my phoneto charge it right up

    A Quality Smart Watch with lots of features. I Like the virtual touch rotating ring. Long battery life. With the always on feature enabled I still have more than 60% battery life every night when I lay it on the magnetic inductive charging pad. Very bright display, never have problem reading it in the sun. Lots of free faces and apps to choose from. The band is comfortable and well designed.

    Best smartwatch worth the money

    One of the best smartwatches worth the money. Got nearly all the features for an expensive smartwatch. The build quality is good, and the battery is the best, last for at least 3 days. For full functionality needs to be paired with a Samsung galaxy phone. If you don't have the galaxy phone, you are unable to use the ECG function. The band is also comfortable to wear.

    Great watch. Works great with Samsung Galaxy. Would buy again. Screen size is big enough, nice fitness tracking, receives emails and makes calls: this is a SUPER functional watch. Only con is the strap it comes with: Because it is solid, it doesn't breathe and at times irritates my skin when I work out frequently. I would recommend getting a band of a different material or a sport one with holes

    I got this to help me keep track of my messages for work instead of having my phone always on loud. The band that comes with the watch is very comfy and the watch itself is very customizable. I would recommend going easy on the usage if you want to make it last more then a day but I can go 3 days before having to charge it if I use it for normal use and not for playing music or always turning on the screen.

    This watch is a major upgrade from my fossil watch. First and foremost the battery is amazing. I didn't think I would wear and use a smartwatch as much as I do with this one. Very comfortable and you can wear it with anything. In addition to that how customizable it is is nice because you can customize it to fit your daily life and personality.

    Nice watch and love keeping track of my steps and heart rate. However, I have to leave my phone in my locker at work and when I'm walking throughout my store the watch doesn't stay connected to my phone. So I don't get my texts and such until I am closer to my phone. Kinda sucks.

    Had a samsung s2 watch for years, but it's batter battery life was not good. My strap gave out so I had an excuse to get a replacement, and boy does this one feel great, look great and lasts forever. I use it all day, get lots of alerts and calls and have never seen the battery go below 80%! So light and comfortable I have fallen asleep with it on! Highly recommend.

    I like everything about this, and love the customizability of it. This has been great for keeping track of my heart rate during hiking, measuring my sleep, and now it finally got the ECG update, so I can monitor my heart health too. The battery lasts about 2 1/2 days with the settings I have it at, and it charges absurdly fast, so I rarely have it off.

    Great smart watch. It works with almost all cell phones, even Apple. It's Bluetooth so your phone needs to be somewhat near by to make and receive calls and texts. It will still work if the phone is not around. The battery life is good. It works better with Samsung phones. With this watch, there's no need to look at your phone all the time.

    Had to replace my old Tomtom watch (which I loved). This had the features I was looking for and so much more. Battery life (but I don't wear it all day), GPS, comfort, multiple fitness features, etc. And I trust Samsung products. I got it on sale and used the savings for Geek Squad protection. It's come in handy before. Overall, I highly recommend this watch.

    Although this is a Samsung watch, I have it paired with my Google Pixel 4 XL and it works great. Calls are crisp and clear, notifications work great (although I wish the haptic feedback was stronger) and you can respond through voice, scribble or canned messages. It tracks steps, heart rate, stairs climbed, stress, sleep and more. I love the sleep tracking. It calculates how much time you have spent awake, in light sleep, REM sleep and deep sleep. It also shows you the recommended times in each. The screen is bright and clear. The battery easily gets me through a couple of days and would more than likely last 3 without charging. I usually am able to top it off by placing it in the charge while I shower that evening so that I can wear it for sleep tracking again that night. Not having a Samsung phone you will lose a couple of features like direct access to some Samsung specific features, like direct access to the Galaxy store (accessible through app but not watch). Tizen is a fast and snappy watch operating system and overall this is the answer to and Android watch and really what Wear OS should strive to be

    this came free with my s20 ultra purchase. very light, comfortable, and so elegant. minimalist in design, but watch faces are so great. unfortunately i have to return this with my s20 ultra- no issues at all, but rather preordered N20 ultra, and actually ordered active 2 with it. battery life is outstanding! lasted 2-3 days. highly recommended.

    A very cool and functional smartwatch

    I've had the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 for about a month. (I ordered it the day before the Galaxy Watch 3 announcement was public. :-( ) The watch replaced a 6 year old Motorola Moto 360 which was showing its age even before it died a month ago. The watch integrates well with my Google Pixel 3xl phone. I've made use of the health monitors, alarms, timers, weather, email, text and security system notifications, and phone. How cool that I can actually talk on the phone through my watch! All of these functions are easy to use and work well. So far I have not run into any problems or issues, but still have a lot to learn. I am most interested in figuring out the gps/map functions of the watch. Battery life has been very good, usually lasting more than 2 days. I generally put it on the charger every other night. My only gripe is the charger. I'd prefer to be able to plug into a standard USB-C cable so I would not have to take yet another charging device when I travel. Overall, I'm very happy with the watch, and would recommend it.

    I love this watch. Not only does it look nice, but it works wonderfully. I can track everything using the Samsung Health app. I really like I can see who is calling or texting me. I even wear it at night to track my sleeping. The battery last a long time, and the watch charges really fast. Just one great watch.
