I love my Fitbit! This is a replacement for an Ionic I thought I lost. But, I found it and now my husband has one. I also teach aqua yoga and aqua aerobics and the Ionic keeps on working.

Watch is attractive - has the features I wanted
Rating: 5
When I plugged it in to charge - it started charging but half way through charging it stopped - it looked like it was dead and I almost returned it. I tried rebooting it by holding the Back button and lower button on the right side until it responded and that did the trick. The setup was simple and easy. The watch is now working without any issues.

Good watch
Rating: 4
Watch works great. I had one since 12/ 25/ 2018, unfortunately it stopped working in March of 2019. I purchased another one because it was so easy to use. I couldn't do without it. I love this watch!

WORST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER
Rating: 1
bought it for my husband's birthday, he's worn it the last 4 months, and twice it has died but it came back to use. It died 2 days ago and now it won't light up at all, not even hooked to charger. I have tried to contact fitbit warranty and Nothing.

Not built to last
Rating: 1
The screen fell off my Ionic a few months after it was out of warranty. I contacted Fitbit and was offered a 25% discount on a new device. Too expensive to fall apart!

Too good to be true
Rating: 1
There is a reason this Fitbit is drastically cheaper than anywhere else... it is a model made for Asian markets and possibly old stock. The battery on a full charge lasts 4-5 hours not the 7 days advertised by Fitbit. I have been working with Fitbit for weeks to get a new one with no luck. I will be returning it to Walmart.

I have been threw 3 fitbit ionic in 18 months do to the fact water has got inside of them. The company will not hold up there word on it about it can be used in the pool. waste of money if you are trying to track swim laps.

Defective Watch
Rating: 1
Received purchase quickly but watch is defective and will be returning. The watch does not turn on and packaging was not for a 'new' watch. We contacted Fitbit to confirm that there was nothing we could do to get the watch running. I recommend Fitbit but not from an unknown third party.

Cant leave phone at home or more than 90ft away
Rating: 5
Absolutely love the watch i work at a cell phone carrier and i got this watch because we had sold all out only down 2 down falls the one from walmart is no sim number so you cant leave your phone anywhere and just use the watch has to be within 90 ft from phone. Bluetooth only. Secind it comes in a different lanuage so you need the app to change it from tour phone other than that no complaints actually in the process of getting one for my husband becuse it pairs with apple phones as well. Oh and it comes totally dead so you have to charge it 100% beofre you can use it

GREAT product, great price
Rating: 5
I looked at MANY types of smart watches and loved the features of this watch. It was running and connected within 5 minutes and is easy to use. Buy it now, because the new models are MUCH more expensive. This watch does everything , including send/receive phone calls with my Samsung Note.

love this new piece of Tech
Rating: 5
I was very skeptical at first about getting a smart watch saying i would hardly use it. So recently i won a Gear s2 and been using it fr a few days. WOW what a gadget, HOW DID I SURVIVE WITHOUT this assistant on my hand giving me all my notifications on my wrist. Thanks a Million SAMSUNG. Now just waiting for my Free tablet to get here lol.

This product I highly recommend
Rating: 5
My Gear is very easy to use. I only take it off to charge it. I am able to keep up with my health as well as keeping up with my life,family,home,finances,ect.. while on the move. I can take calls,email,text,listen to music,keep up with my activities, ect.. while being on the go. I am a mother of 5. It doesn't get any easier than this when it comes to being a busy mom. This is recommended highly to anyone,but especially to moms- on - the - go!

It's a "love-hate" relationship.
Rating: 4
While I love the style and functionality of the Samsung Gear S2 Silver, the band is a very poor design. I received my smartwatch the first week of June 2016. It is now August 5, 2016 and both bands that came with the watch in the original packaging have failed in the exact same place. Both broke while doing simple household activities and the watch went flying. The watch itself has fared well and withstood the falls, but now I can't even wear it until I go and invest in the exact same poorly designed watch band that I'm certain will not hold up any better even though I'll have to pay through the nose for the proprietary design. Samsung, PLEASE fix this! I love the way the watch works seamlessly with my 7 Edge, but I will not recommend any of this style of the Gear S2 simply due to the lack of durability of the bands. I wish I had spent the extra $50 for the classic. My colleague has one and has not had any issues with the bands. I simply thought this version would be better for my active lifestyle. NOT SO!

Paid more for less
Rating: 3
Product is as it should be. Problem is that my sister paid less for hers on walmart.com and got the 3G version from a cellular third party. Will be returning product due to paying more for less features. If you dont know, the 3G version makes you able to talk on the phone through the watch itself. This is a pretty important feature. Another reason it got 3 stars is because you buy something off of walmart's site but cant return the product to your walmart store! Now i got to go through this third party who say that you may not get your full money back on the return.

Used
Rating: 2
No where in the description did the product say it was used. The box has clearly been opened before and the product has been used. I'm very disappointed in Walmart for using this poor third party vendor. This is a Christmas gift for my husband so don't know if it works, I hope it does bit I definitely wasn't looking for something used

Walmart.com is letting merchants sell used items with no knowledge of the consumer. I read the description and there was no mention.
