Samsung - Galaxy Watch Active Smartwatch 40mm Aluminum - Silver

I upgraded from my first smartwatch, a Pebble Time, since my switch to a Galaxy S10 didn't go over well with it. My wants for that one were notifications and music controls on my wrist. Lately I've found myself wanting fitness-tracking features. The Galaxy Watch Active delivers that perfectly for me - I've used it for walks, mountain biking, even Beat Saber. I also like the sleep tracking, though I don't know what value I actually get out of it... As far as fit and feel, the included band is very comfortable, and the watch is small and light enough that I don't take much notice of it. The green color is evident, but not flashy. User interface is very smooth, and the touch bezel update is fun (but not perfect). Without the always-on display, I can get a little over 2 days' use out of the battery (with the S10, I do get the benefit of Wireless PowerShare, which is super cool!) I'm extremely satisfied with the level of quality and features that it offers, especially for the sale price.

I wish this model came with the high blood pressure monitor, but the upgrade price for it wasn't justified. This original version does all but that. I purchased this model during a sale promotion. A bit sensitive to touch. Smartwatch tracks all my fitness, you can customize face, widgets easily. Must download Samsung health and Wear for optimal information. Was able to link my scale to their app and track my weight goals. The watch looks great, face size is perfect on my wrist, doesn't look bulky. Battery life isn't great, if you want to track your sleep you will need to find downtime to charge up. Bixby is great on this watch as well. Lots of options on this product.

I've owned a variety of brands of smartwatches - Zenwatch, Fossil, and others, the Galaxy Watch Active is the best. The different operating system was an easy adjustment. It works faster, more smoothly and more intuitively than the others did. Tracks heart, breathing, calories burned, stress levels and more. The fitness reminders are helpful without being obtrusive. The watch design is less bulky and more attractive than any other I've owned, especially for small wrists like mine. It comes with two bands - large and small. The one drawback is the built-in assistant, Bixby. It has very limited functions. I over came that by porting the Google Assistant onto the watch. ( Google it!) With a double tap on the home key now I can use Google features. Overall, it's a pleasure to use and wear!

This is an awesome active watch. I was comparing this to the active 2 and after finding out they added the feature everyone seemed to enjoy the most (rotating bezel feature) through an update I couldn't pass it up for the sale price it was listed at. I've been enjoying it since I got it and so has my wife. The only small downside is it doesn't have a speaker. So you only get vibration notifications but my phone is always with me so I don't mind. Also a plus is that if you want to go on a run without your phone (interruptions) you can add music files to your watch and just connect your Bluetooth headphones to your watch and leave the phone behind.

I've had the bigger version of the Samsung Galaxy watches, but they were all to big for my small wrist. I didn't get the smaller ones because I like the round face better. This one fits my wrist perfectly. It's not to tight or to loose. I love Samsung products.

I am very happy with this watch. It is low profile, so it doesn't get caught on my clothing. I can access calculator, messages, emails, activity info, weather, calendar, voice memo, contacts with ease. I like the options for responding to messages...type, write, emoji, pre-written replies. Cons: battery needs charged daily (so do Apple products) and bluetooth does not seem to transmit very far. Works fine throughout my 3 story home, but once I go outside without my phone, it disconnects

I love it, its def what I want. It's not too big like the other Samsung watch, I love the rose gold color, texting is cool, steps, and notifications. But..... like everyone is saying the battery doesnt last for few days. Mine is about 2 days then I have to charge it. I guess it depends how much you use it. The charging port doesnt hold it well, so make sure you are charging it flat. I've slept on it and I love how it tells me my sleeping pattern and when i go to bed, but like I said every other night, you need to charge it. Sometimes it's slow when you are trying to do the talk to text and be very clear and sometimes loud. Over all, I really like it. It's good for people with smaller wrist and I've got compliments and looked at.

The need to recharge daily is a negative though it still tracks despite being on low power mode. I love that you can change the size of the time Display font (I can’t see regular typical font w/o glasses). The 40mm size display isn’t too large for women, even on my skinny arm, but I am more comfortable with the rose display and band. Very feminine looking. Negative is that neither the website or watch displays more than the current week details whereas the FitBit or VeryFitPro (Spade watch) websites are more easily followed, but then the watch itself is better than either of the others.
