    Has a lot more face options than Apple watch. The step counter is a joke though. Only starts counting after your 15th step. Great battery, really a good smart watch for the money.

    A great option for a smartwatch. Has all the features I want (weather, different watch faces, notifications) and the design is good. The bezel is a nice feature. The only even partial drawback is that it's a tad big for my wrist.

    My wife is an iPhone user for 6 years and had the apple watch for one year and a half, so it broke. She decided to buy a new Galaxy S20 phone and this Galaxy watch. She said she could not be happier with everything-android. Every single thing is a lot easier to use, incomparably more beautiful and useful than apple watch, and the most important thing for her (which is tracking exercises) is very easy and complete. I already have Samsung Gear Frontier so no surprise for me, it works absolutely the same way.

    The watch is easy to use , nice to wear for all occasion. However i noticed that it needs to be near utmost 20 ft to 30 ft from your phone to not lose connection. The battery is awesome:100% battery can stay for 2.5 days.

    I've had this watch over a year and I could not be more pleased. The battery life is wonderful and the usability for many different things is amazing. It partners with my smartphone and lets me know when I am getting a call or text (if my phone is not in my view - but near by). I can answer the phone on the watch and that comes in handy. The sound quality is excellent. I especially like the Samsung health app loaded on the watch. I would not be without this watch and it looks beautiful and feminine.

    When trying to get a smart watch I wanted to make sure I didnt get anything that was too bulky for my small wrists but still looked like a normal watch. I also wanted something that would track my exercise habits and be able to display the seconds because I am in the medical field and rely on the seconds to do all my measurements. I didnt very much care for the Fitbit because it didnt look like a normal watch and was very obvious it's a fitness watch. I love that I can download apps and new watch faces onto the galaxy watch and change out the wristband for any kind of material or color I want. It's a perfect companion for any non Apple phone in my opinion. It performs all of the functions I want in a smart and then some.

    The Active 2 42mm my son had the Samsung GearFit Red. It finally gave up and died. I had GSP on this device and it made it easier to update to the New Active 2. I paid difference and I was able to buy a new GSP. Now I feel very comfortable with my decision. I like it so much I bought my own. I use a Pixel 3 and this Samsung Active 2 works great. I'm able to use Samsung Pay and the Samsung fit and Run keeper work great with this device.

    The thing I like about Samsung is the ability to personalize things. There are lots of great faces and apps that can be downloaded for free. It has to be charged about every day and a half. It does everything I was looking for. I love the bezel that swivels to pick options and the rose gold color. Voice quality is better than my phone. Would like to have had the dressier band come with it. The only real complaint is that it is too easy to hit Samsung Pay simply by bending my hand. Have had it several months and still love it!

    Loved the color, was a little hard to work for texts and calls. Didn't keep charge well after about 6 months. Watch is a little on the heavy side.

    Does everything that I use my phone for so I dont even have to stay by my phone, even hours go by, which helps me detach myself from the digital world and be more present in my life. Some other watches I've trieddo not do nearly as much as my Samsung, Samsung does it all. Plus when I cant find my phone (because I'm a girl and I lose my phone often) I can answer directly only my wrist! Also, I've tried other sports bands and watches and I like how this looks like a piece of my jewelry not just a sports band. Very beautiful!

    I really like this watch and get loads of compliments. However, one thing that surprised me (as I had read a ton of reviews) is that I can only be about 30 feet from my phone for them to connect and the watch to work. It is nice to see my texts, email, etc on my wrist. But again, you have to be within 30 feet of your phone. At home, when my phone is charging in my bedroom, if I go to my kitchen a short distance down the hall, they disconnect and I can't get texts or calls. The call quality is good but it's a little awkward to keep your arm held up so the phone is by your face. Good for short calls but I wouldn't use it for long calls. Overall, I am very glad I bought it and love the color (rose gold)
