Update from Versa to Versa 2
Rating: 5
This is my second Fitbit. As a heart patient it is nice to see that this Fitbit seems to be a little more sensitive to my heart rate, comparing it with a polar chest wrap. Very easy set up and a great app that goes along with it!! Great value when compared to an Apple iWatch or a Garmin

Very comfortable, it was my first purchase of any fitbit and love everything it tracks. Setup was a little diificult for me, but I feel its because I was not familiar with the set up and app. I have no issues with it connecting to my phone and registering the alerts from my apps or messages / calls...`

I LOVE THIS WATCH!
Rating: 5
Fair price and quick shipping Great watch! I did a lot of research before buying this watch. I had a Fitbit for years, so I wanted to upgrade to a watch that had more capabilities. This watch it's fantastic, if you want a watch that truly tracks your steps, heart rate, calories burned, get up and mover reminder, you can program it for a number of workout activities, helps monitor your diet and health, and has perks as well! So many ways to customize this watch to fit your everyday needs, news app, weather, Spotify, etc! I know most people want an Apple Watch, but this watch is way more realistic to actual life needs! It's lightweight, not too big or bulky! Very sleek look! I recommend this watch to my son, and he loves it as well! I would recommend this watch to anyone!

Good watch but poor quality
Rating: 1
I bought this in Nov 19 . It is a very nice looking watch with lot of good features. I absolutely loved it but the build quality of $200 watch is poor. I used it almost daily but very moderately. Last week, within 7 months or purchase, the glue holding the face of the watch broke off and now the watch is unusable. I am totally disappointed with this. I will not recommend this watch

Didnt live up to my expectation
Rating: 1
Got it for the purpose of being able to see my texts/calls and it managed to get every notification other than those two. Isnt an awful product it did everything else correctly, but I got it for one main purpose and it didnt deliver so theres no point in keeping it.

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!
