I've owned the three previous generation watches and this is by far the best Samsung watch made. This watch light weight. Battery life is great. I wear it all day and night. I charge it in the mornings while while I get ready for work. Pulse, Stress, step counts seems pretty accurate. No connection problems. My only criticism would be to add a swipe gestures to go back instead I have to push the back button. Great job Samsung!

I received this watch about 3 weeks ago. So far it has been pretty good. I am still learning to navigate it, but it is not the watch - it is the navigator! I am not all that techie. The only thing I am not crazy about is it is a little clunky for my wrist, but I purchased the 44mm for 2 reasons - one so it was larger and I wouldn't need my glasses to read it and the second reason was because the battery life was longer in the 44mm compared to the 42mm so I can't complain - it was my choice. So far I am very pleased with it.

I had been wanting to get one of these since the s3 came out but read horror stories about water getting in so I waited. It was a hard decision between the standard and active2. I liked the rotating bezel of the standard as most of my real watches have this, but I also liked the clean lines of the black active2. Ultimately got the active2 for the more current hardware. Love the fact that I can change the watch face when I feel like it, kind of like getting a new watch. Now I just need to learn how to use the programming software so I can write my own programs. Oh the fitness tracking is a nice benefit also. :>)

Fantastic watch, very lightweight and wearable. The LTE connectivity is a nice feature, and is the whole reason I purchased this model. Very pleased.

I waited 2 years thinking which one to buy between Samsung and apple watch,
after a lot of research, I came to know they are both very efficient, and on top of that Samsung battery life is better,
I have this watch over a month now and my only regret is why I didn't buy before,
it's making my life more efficient,
end of the day report is a very good option to help you stay active.
auto-detection for workout or running,
while my watch is connected to my phone through Bluetooth, I can connect headphones at the same time and listen to music

LTE Active 2 Version - It's an amazing device but a nightmare getting started and a LOT of money considering its shortcomings. First off it was back-ordered and was a while getting it. Then for reasons too lengthy to explain it took almost 8 hrs to get watch and phone paired ( over ATT network - not blutooth). Between my own efforts, phone technical support (she was awesome), and finally through customer service at the ATT Store (she was awesome as well) we finally succeeded just before almost giving up. Battery power not great. Not getting 24 hrs before need for charge and the cable that's permenantly attached to the charger is only about 18" long which wont even reach to a table from an outlet even if its right in front of it. A few days later I lost the hard earned network pairing between phone and watch - and after about another 8 hrs of my and technical support's time we eventually figured out that the reason I wasn't receiving calls on the watch was that blutooth pairing and network pairing were confused and cancelling each other out (yeah that's what I was told) and to just keep bluetooth turned off permanently and connect directly with the network even if I'm within range of the phone which in turn uses more battery power. In other words, the watch isn't switching back and forth from blutooth to network when out of range automatically like I 'think' it is supposed to. Oh, and the blutooth signal range is horrible - 15 ft maybe as long as there isn't a wall between you. I couldn't go to the next room without a disconnection notification - and then a connection notification when I got back (big battery drain). This is the watches fault - not the phone which keeps blutooth connection with any other device if I go to my car or other end of the house. And yes, I'm still giving it 3 stars cause I just like the danged thing - headache and all.

Love this budget watch and does everything the expensive one can. I mostly use this for steps, phone notifications, heartbeat and obviously to see what time it is. Ive had this for 3 years and the battery still lasts over a day. Also you can use this as an alarm and tracks your sleep

I have been using the Galaxy Watch Active2 for a over a year now. The setup was very easy and it connected to my Galaxy Note 9 very quickly. The watch has many great features, including heart rate monitoring as well as calories burned during workouts. I also like the LTE feature. This way, I don't have to take my phone with me during work outs. I have used the watch to track my bike rides, my runs, and my walks. The watch is very accurate in tracking the workouts.

I hate to knock any stars off as this really is the best smartwatch out there these days, but despite all of the obvious greatness, one seemingly small feature stands out as missing... MST transactions.
In 2020 there shouldn't be any retailers still running mag-stripe only, and NFC/tap to pay really SHOULDbe universal by now, but that just isn't the case and I still come across payment terminals where the MST function on my S20 phone or older Galaxy Watch would be really nice to have. Considering that Samsung paid quite a bit to acquire that technology years ago it seems even more off that they would remove it in this watch model.
Aside from that, it's been a fantastic watch and does everything one would expect. Samsung even (finally..) got FDA approval for the ECG function recently.
I opted for the 4g model as well thinking that it might come in handy. Honestly, it just ended up sticking to the bluetooth connection since I'm never without my phone anyway. I ended up cancelling the data plan and just run it paired to the phone 100% now. I suppose it's still nice knowing that I have one additional device on my person that can call 911 in an emergency still, but otherwise not much use for the 4G radio.

I've owned 3 of the last 4 Samsung smartwatches and this one is truly a combination of all the best features. The battery life is WAAAY better than the previous versions. You can realistically go 2 to 3 days without charging it. If you are looking for a smartwatch this is my recommendation.

This was Christmas present so I didn't openned the box till a couple of days ago. I am still learning about the watch so I didn't give it 5 stars yet. Perhaps I'll amend this soon.
It's comfortable. I love that you can choose different watch faces to fit your mood. Messaging is working nicely. I haven't tried calling yet. I also haven't set up the watch with a carrier yet. Right now I'm just using it through bluetooth and wifi and those are working great. I'm very glad I have an option to add it to a cell line in the future if I wish to. It connected to my spotify account easily & I was able to download my playlist. Now when I workout I can just bring the watch & bluetooth headphones (which also paired easily).
I hope to try other features soon.

We bought this for our high schooler and she loves it. Very easy to set up and use with the Samsung wearable app. Automatically tells you when it needs an update. Battery life is excellent and she did not have to charge hers daily unlike some other smart watches. Good quality sound when answering calls or listening to music. Definitely recommend.

Love the round design of this watch - you can dress it up for business or keep it casual like an active watch.
Has all the features you need from a smart watch
Not too small and not too large to be obnoxious.
Light weight and you don't even feel it on the wrist.
Easy to use
Would recommend this to anyone looking for a smartwatch.

so... first watch i ordered was the same, but not an LTE so i couldn't get a phone line for it. finally got this one. took a couple of very long phone calls with my cell provider, to get it hooked up to it's own phone line! but once that was finally taken care of I've been able to enjoy all the functions of my new watch!
watch works great and also pairs well with my Google pixel 3XL.

It's a very good smartwatch, and the LTE It's the best, I can go out without my phone and I'm still get my phone calls, emails and text messages, for me it's the best!!! One of the most important thing about this smartwatch it's that you can change the straps and the face watch depending of the occasion, work, hangout or business meeting!!
