I love the watch it's easy to use and and I can control my main stuff from my wrist instead of getting it out of my pocket:)

Simply amazing
Rating: 5
Completely amazed. I had planned to get a fitness watch but it couldn’t meet my needs. This one goes above and beyond. It is my first smart watch. It’s easy to use for fitness, music, texting, calling (if your phone is near by). I can’t imagine not having this! I can continuously see the time with a second hand. I can choose the watch face and the display

Smart Watch Review
Rating: 5
I have waited several years to finally get an Apple Watch because I was worried about their durability especially given the higher price tag compared the FitBit Versa I replaced with this purchase. I love it so far! I also purchased a screen protector and bumper, and I think I'm set!

First I hate watches and got one of these for my birthday...I though oh no I am going to disappoint wife and kids so i just put it on and believe it or not I love it. The features are awesome. Ease of setup was incredible. Connectivity with phone is awesome. No need to pick up my phone around the house or go running for it when its in the other room and you get a call. The exercise feature will remind you to do thing, to close your different "rings" and will award you with stupid things that will actually motivate you to move and to exercise. Before the end of this year everyone in my family will have one. They are fantastic.

There is a scratch to the front of the watch, also this item was advertised as 379 being 50 dollars off and once it was in the cart it was more expensive also, I was told that if I screenshot you guys would be able to help with a price match from competition

Not working
Rating: 1
Picked up item from store, the shipping box was baddly damage, the apple box had very little defects and scratches. I opened the box and tried to connect to phone and watch kept factory resetting and acted like was refurbished and wanted to connect to old set up. Randomly during set up went to Black screen with apple and occasionally switches to black screen. No tips or tricks will change the screen. I will be exchanging for a product that works.

Love this watch!
Rating: 5
I always wanted to upgrade to a real smartwatch from a basic fitness tracker I had gotten for free a while back. So, when I had the option to get one with my S20 Ultra pre-order, I jumped at the chance! I'm really happy with it. The size is great for me at 40mm. I went with the rose gold option as I really like rose gold jewelry. It not only looks great but works great. I have no issues with it connecting to my phone or using it. I really like all the watch face options as well as all the apps I can use. I love how I can get notified from the apps on my phone on my watch. I have A LOT of trouble sleeping and being able to track my sleep is a great thing. The fitness options are great too. I love how customizable it is. I'm still getting the hang of it but I'm very happy with it so far!

I love how easy it was to set the watch up. its very customizable. I can get a lot of different watch faces and also add widgets. It synced effortlessly to my Note 9 and its light on my wrist. The only thing I dont like is not being able to make or receive calls on it.

Like it a lot
Rating: 4
i wish a smaller face size was available. 40mm is a little big for my liking but that is just my preference. the only negative is the battery life. it needs to be charged every day and a half to 2 days. devices i've had in the past have usually lasted twice as long on a charge.

Rear glass plate came off completely
Rating: 1
today i woke up and found that the rear glass plate of my galaxy watch active came off exposing the internals of the watch. i'm very careful with my devices, i never washed my hands with the watch on it. i'm extremely disappointed because the warranty has expired recently.

Terrible battery life
Rating: 1
After many tries at adjusting various features to reduce battery usage it was evident it came no where close to the advertised 80 hour battery life for even the basic functions. I even tried contacting Samsung for help on this issue which was pretty much useless. The reason I bought it was to replace my Fitbit, and mainly so I could listen to Spotify when running. It was between this watch and the new Fitbit equivalent but since I had a Samsung S9 I thought the they would be more compatible and it would be a seamless type of experience. Quite the opposite. The Bluetooth keeps cutting out and has to reconnect. If I keep the watch 1 or 2 feet from my ear pods it is OK, anything further it keeps dropping the connection. I bought because I thought they would be good fit with my Samsung phone. I am now turned off by everything that's Samsung. I am ditching their phone and TV's for better quality and customer service. Be warned people, their products and quality as well as their customer service has really taken a turn for the worst anymore, look somewhere else.

The battery absolutely sucks on the watch ,it also drains the battery on my phone , I closed out as many as as I could and didn't help, won't even make a full day on a single charge, most likely I'll be returning

Glossy coating on the band starts peeling!
Rating: 1
I bought this 1 month ago and the glossy coating on the original Samsung silicone band started peeling. I raised my concern to Samsung, and their response was its normal "wear and tear". It's extremely ugly to look at. Huge design flaw on the strap. Should not have the glossy coating on silicone, now it just looks bad.

Battery shortage
Rating: 1
i recently ordered the galaxy watch to help monitor my heart rate but was unable to do so because the battery would not even last four hours. i ordered the watch brand new and had the battery die on me several times with minimal usage time of the watch throughout the week that i had it. battery life was not good at all, quite horrible!
