A: You can take calls (I'd recommend having a bluetooth headset but you can use the built in speaker and mic as well), and you can see and respond to text messages either by dictating what you want to text, sending an emoji, or using a Smart Keyboard where you start drawing what you want to say on your watch and it can recognize it and autocomplete. You also get all the notifications from your phone... so alarms, reminders, social media notifications, etc. There are some amazing golf apps available for the watch including Golf Navi Pro and Smart Caddy. There are 3rd party apps like MyFitnessPal but the selection of apps is not that great. there are, however, a TON of amazing free and paid watch faces to download.
A: THIS DEVICE IS NOT WATERPROOF OR RESISTANT. YOU CAN NOT SWIM WITH IT OR SUBMERGE IT. IT WILL BLACK SCREEN!
A: I have it connected via bluetooth to my phone. I didn't have to add it to my plan or have a separate plan for it. That was one thing I was looking at when I was looking at buying a smartwatch.
Q: So the Galaxy watch active doesn't not have a mic. I have heard different answers to that question.
A: Yes, this watch has a microphone. Check out this link (https://bit.ly/2Xj1cBo) for more information on this watch. ^Ash
A: Of course you get a charger for the watch (its a wireless dock). BUT, when you preorder, you ALSO get a LARGER wireless fast charger for your PHONE. Thats the preorder bonus. I chatted with a Best Buy rep and he informed me that if you pick up the watch in store on the release day, you can pick up the preorder bonus along with the watch. This way, you can charge both your phone and watch wirelessly :)
Q: Can you receive and reply to text messages?
A: Yes, you can receive and reply to text messages. The watch must be connected to a phone through Bluetooth and the Galaxy Wearable app. ^Ash
Q: does this come with the free wireless charger?
A: See here (they didn't link the promo on the actual product page): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/conditional-offers/samsung-galaxy-watch-active-pre-order/pcmcat1549575387276.c?id=pcmcat1549575387276 I tried to pre-order the free charger, but you need the serial number of the watch, so I guess you have to wait until you have the watch to claim. However ordering on Samsung's website says "Will ship by March 23". So I prefer to pick up in store on the release date, and get my wireless charger after. Hope this helps!
Q: Would a Samsung watch be compatible with a Google pixel phone??
A: As long as you can get the galaxy wearable app it should work.
