Fitbit Versa comfort
Rating: 5
I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She absolutely loves it. She lives the pink color and she said the band is so soft and comfortable she wears it to Zumba and has no issue. She likes the size and comfort of wearing it. She like being able to see her heart rate and her favorite APP so far is the Relax App. She has had it for a few weeks now and has had no issues. She's still exploring the Apps and functions. I'm very happy with the purchase and the fact that she loves.

Excellent Smart Watch
Rating: 5
I bought this watch for Christmas and I love it. All features are as describe, easy to use and I also bought extra bands and accessories to match my wardrobe. The only down fall is that I'm not getting a low battery warning and battery does not last 4 days. 3 days batterylife max. I highly recommend it.

Loving my Versa
Rating: 5
I love my Fitbit Versa. It was easy to set up and I've had zero problems. I never realized how little I actually move. No wonder I gained weight. If you can't get a notification to come up, research how to turn it on. I'm very happy with mine. I'm getting 4 plus days of battery life. It charges quickly. I love that I can download free clock faces from the Fitbit app. Looking forward to buying new snazzy bands.

Great smartwatch!

I love everything about my Fitbit!! It would be better if you could actually talk on it though, especially for the price! Other than that it does everything it says it does, plus more! Really great product!

Keeps me on track!
Rating: 4
I purchased this Fitbit as a recommendation from my cardiologist. I wanted to keep track of my resting HR as well as my high points in the day, and I'm thrilled I can see all the data via the app and my watch itself. I appreciate the ability to link it with other apps like Myfitnesspal and Strava. Oh and of course my Starbucks card! It's the little things, ya know! I am also more mindful of my steps now, and I can see active minutes. The watch faces are customizable via the app, and so are a number of cool widgets like a little torch light, a weather app, a water reminder, and music. The possibilities are great with this Versa, and my only one complaint is the battery life after a while. I still get a solid 4 days with bits of play time but I expected it to be a tad more as the manufacturer stated 7 days on purchase. Not a deal breaker, I just have to charge it while sleeping and that interrupts my sleep insights, another super cool feature! All in all I'd highly recommend it. I've never owned a Garmin or Apple Watch for any sort of comparison, but this does exactly what I needed it to at a fraction of competitions price points. Great company, great customer service!

Good. The only thing bad is that when you move your arm and youre not Walking it counts as a step! When I wake up in the morning I have steps on my watch after sleeping! Like 39!

Not User Friendly
Rating: 3
Love the idea of the watch but I cant get it to perform like it promises. For example, you can customize quick responses to text messages in the Fitbit app but I have not figured out how to respond to a text yet. Also, it took me two days to figure out how to enable my watch to receive text message notifications. I have updated both my iPhone and Versa, went to the Fitbit community for help as well as read the online instruction booklet. Not user friendly.

Buy with caution
Rating: 1
I purchased this fitbit in Feb 2019, by October the heart rate sensor stopped working and it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 8hrs. Fitbit replaced it because it was still under warranty. By April 2020, I had the same issue but warranty was expired so I sent it to Square trade (bought $22 coverage for 3yrs). Square trade "fixed" it but I received it back and it wouldn't charge, I sent it back again and they returned it fixed but only lasted 4months. Now square trade will not accept it again as cost of parts and fixing has exceeded original cost of the item. I have had Fitbit flex and Charge 2 both lasting 2 years. The versa has been my worst and last fitbit purchase. One of my coworker also has a versa that lasted only about a year.

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

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!
