This watch gets cooler as you play with it!
Rating: 5
I had my eye on this watch since it came out but just recently pulled the trigger. I love the paperwhite background and how it displays messages. I also like how you can customize the display buttons. I was pumped when I found out that you can change the background! Then I realized that if you hold down the top button, the display bubbles disappear which is super neat. I was a little annoyed that I couldn't set one of the side buttons as a "find my phone" option, but just hold down the middle button and there it is, among other things!

Awesome! Fantastic! Better than I imagined.

You can turn off notifications and your alarms will still come through. There is a do not disturb that you can turn on and off on the watch. I love it! It's perfect. I get tons of alerts so I think the battery lasts maybe a week, but it totally out do's my apple watch. So happy with this purchase. Now I can see my sleep patterns. It helps me understand how the weather will effect my sleep.

So happy with this watch
Rating: 5
I wanted a watch that had a clock hand face but all the features of a smart watch. Fossil nailed it. This watch is so pretty and professional. I don't have any issues getting iMessages, so unsure if they fixed the software. It's super easy to change out the bands. Love this watch.

Screams "me"
Rating: 5
I love this watch so far. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. It has the look of an analog watch which I sorely missed with my old smart watch. It sends me notifications (spotty on the phone calls and texts) but I rarely am without my phone so it isn't a huge deal to me. This watch just screams my personality though and I think I tell my husband every day.

Keeps me from checking my phone, because of the minimal settings and display. Much for effective at work. Have emergency numbers And work set so I don't miss a call or text! Works okay with Apple phone, but connectivity from a distance could be better.

I'm so happy I found this beautiful watch!
Rating: 4
I recently purchased and returned a Samsung Active 2 watch. My issues with it - the battery would only last one day if you used the watch for anything other than just telling time. I also struggled to find a face that was pretty and looked like a real watch. I want to be able to look at my wrist and know what time it is without pushing any buttons. I love analog watches because they give more of a feeling of minutes as portions of hours - if you know what I mean. I was excited when I found that fossil made a smart watch with a real analog face. The reviews were good so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. My favorite thing about this watch is that it is beautiful. I love the rose gold analog minimalist face. The paper white screen is lovely - making the watch more beautiful with the right background image. It looks like a beautiful watch instead of a smart watch. Sure it doesn't have nearly as many functions as the Samsung Active 2, but who really needs a calculator in a watch? You're never going to use that. This watch tracks my sleep, heart rate, steps, and other exercise functions. It tells me when I have a call and who's calling. It tells me when I have a text and lets me read it. I can decide then whether to get my phone out and answer the text or call. I am a RN and I can't be looking at my phone every time it alerts. It lets me control my music. It tells me what the weather is like. Another feature I like is the commute time. I use it on my way to work to see if I'm running on late or do I have time to stop for coffee? It's a lot easier and safer than using google maps. I haven't charged my watch for 10 days now and I still haven't gotten a low battery notification. With few exceptions it does everything a smart watch needs to do without all the noise of useless apps. My only complaint and the reason I took away one star - it has quick responses for missed telephone calls but they don't work on messenger.

I do wish it had a few more features but I do like the classic look and feel of this watch.

Once I got the hang of it...
Rating: 4
I received this product on a Tuesday evening and had no real issues setting it up, but learning how to do things (turn on the light, receive notifications, understand the apps involved, etc.) was extremely frustrating. No instructions, and the FAQs on the site are NOT helpful AT ALL (I'm old but not THAT old, I'm pretty techie actually). I did not receive any notifications for texts or phone calls no matter what I did. But, by the morning everything was in working order and I started to love the watch. I've had it 6 days and it's only glitched on me once when the weather was not showing so I rebooted my phone and it fixed it. I now LOVE this watch - it looks great, and I don't miss my Apple Watch at all. If you want some of the features of a smartwatch and want your wrist to look different from everyone else's, this is a great answer to that. I have had an Apple Watch for 3+ years (Gen 1 so maybe there are even more bells and whistles) and I rarely used the really cool bells and whistles like paying for things, or answering my texts - I'm a lefty but wear my watch on my left hand so trying to scribble the reply was awful and time consuming. I found myself only using my watch to tell time, track my steps/activity, see what the weather was, and track my heart rate. This watch takes care of all of it! I gave it 4 stars because of the frustrating set up only. Please consider including instructions or making the app for set up a bit more intuitive. Other than that I love it!!!

Don't buy this model! Strap failure, features missing
Rating: 1
I was so excited to get a sleek smartwatch, but was then incredibly disappointed. I purchased this model with the silicone strap, and two extra leather straps for other occasions. The silicone was by far the most comfortable. The leather straps very quickly cracked and showed wear from the buckle. I got the watch on April 24, 2020, and on May 25, 2020, the silicone strap ripped at the seam where the outer pink and inner gray meet. I've been working from home due to the COVID pandemic. This has gotten less than normal wear and tear. When I contacted Fossil, I was told straps are not covered under warranty. And spoiler alert: you CAN'T BUY THAT COLOR STRAP BY ITSELF. Very disappointing. The watch also DOES NOT have the "take a picture" function that every other Fossil smart watch has. Even my husbands 4 year old hybrid watch that is a genuine crystal movement (no display) has this feature. The back and forth I had with tech support on this issue was also disappointing. After telling them multiple times which model I had purchased, they still seemed to not understand the features of their own product. They were trying to direct me to menus that don't exist for my watch, etc. Maybe if you wanted to turn this into a pocket watch it would work, but as something that you want to wear on your wrist? Not worth it.

Satisfied customer!
Rating: 5
7th day wearing this watch and have charged it one time from initial full charge (at 42% now). Thought I wouldn't like it because it doesn't have the rotating bezel, but I am getting used to it. The band fit very comfortable unlike my Gear band, I had to order a more comfortable fitting band for the Gear.

Excellent Pebble Replacement!
Rating: 5
until the galaxy watch active 2 came out, there was not a worthwhile contender for my pebble imo. this watch meets all my requirements and even has a touchscreen! i can talk to it, listen to it (couldn't do that with the pebble), control music with it, and do all of the other things i need with it (appointments, texts, phone calls, etc.). i even found a text based watchface (one of my favorites for my pebble). i am very pleased with it so far, and even the battery life has surprised me (i avg. 5 days/chrg, but i don't use any of the fitness/health tracking stuff and i turn off wifi and bluetooth every night). i'd have preferred a stainless steel band instead of the rubber (so i picked one up). i even find bixby quite useful/helpful. nice watch and looks to be an awesome replacement!

Amazing Watch!
Rating: 5
i had done some research in finding an affordable, reliant, and durable watch. the samsung galaxy watch active 2 met all of the criteria! once i purchased the item, it was very easy to set up and get going. you can change everything in your watch from your phone, using galaxy wearable, which i find is very handy. i would recommend this highly to anyone looking for a smart watch with the same criteria as myself. one thing i noticed, however, is that in ordering on samsung.com, it was very confusing because they made you buy the watch, band, and charger separately. i ordered it through samsung on amazon, and it came with everything for a much lower price.

ALEXA on your Galaxcy Active 2 ?? YES you Can!!
Rating: 5
This new Galaxy Active 2 watch does it all!! I’m not a fitness fanatic, so I will not comment on the accuracy of the calorie count or heart rate monitor. I'm happy to know my daily steps taken, be reminded to move when I've been sitting too long at my computer, know my ticker is still tick’n, and receive kudos when I've reached my daily goal. First of all this is a stunning piece of technology, very sleek, and looks great on any wrist. I replaced the pale pink silicone band with a slim black leather one so it looks very sharp and professional. The Pink Gold color keeps the watch looking slim, not bulky (although the Aqua Black was intriguing), and blends well with most skin tones. I chose the 44mm for better battery life - yes, I get 3 days between charges. I also like the larger screen for easier interaction with the touch screen, which by the way is very clear, bright and easy to see even in sunlight! LOVE LOVE LOVE, that I can receive and respond to texts and calls. I have found that the 30 foot maximum distance to my phone requirement is actually conservative, my phone has been further away from me than that and I still receive texts and calls. I work in a showroom where I cannot have my phone with me; I can now react immediately when I'm contacted. For texting, I can use voice to text and even edit my response after I have spoken it using my voice again or hand writing on the screen. There are endless emojis I can reply with and I can send and receive texted images. I can ANSWER THE WATCH, if my phone rings. There is a mic and a speaker on the Active 2, and the voice clarity is perfect. I can also reject a call right from my watch and send a text back instead, like letting the caller know that I'll call them back in a bit. The Galaxy Active 2 also gives you detailed quality of sleep feedback. It does a great job breaking down time spent in REM vs the other sleep phases. And with the ability to fully charge in about 2 hours, every 3 days, you can absolutely wear the watch to bed every night to benefit from that useful information. The watch is completely customize-able. You can choose what notifications you want to receive on your watch and how (vibration, sound, or both). With the Do Not Disturb feature, you can also schedule hours at night that you won’t receive any notifications at all. You can arrange the widgets in any order, add and subtract Apps, and navigate by scrolling between them or use the digital haptic bezel. The digital bezel adds a bit of class to the watch and works flawlessly. It's responsive and brings back that rotating functionality that the first Galaxy Active lacked. I have uninstalled the Apps I did not find useful to conserve battery life and added a couple, including Alexa. YES, ALEXA!! I added the Alexa App, called "Talk to Alexa" In the companion "Galaxy Wearable" App. You can find it in the App section: Discover>Top Watch Apps>Categories>Lifestyle>Top Paid. I can ask Alexa to answer questions, things that I would typically Google on my phone, in addition to finding out the weather, set timers, and control my smart home, RIGHT FROM MY WRIST! I have tested various requests using my Active 2 vs asking Alexa in my home. The responses were identical. The first photo below is of Alexa ready to listen, and you can program her to launch when you double tap the Home button. This is an amazing Smart Watch, get it, you won't be sorry. Now complete with Alexa, this is a perfect alternative to an Apple Smart Watch if you are an Android/Samsung phone user... I have been using it since the day of its release and it is a fun watch to use and a wonderful companion. Click below if you found my review helpful. I purchased this watch at full price and was not compensated for my review…

It's a excellent product
Rating: 5
This is an excellent product for me. I can't speak for anyone else, but it's the right size display, looks good, if fact I have kept the orginal band. Except for the "Iwatch" I've tried alot of smartwatches and trackers. Active 2 has the ability to track fitness, provides very good smartwatch features and looks great. Highly recommend.

It does most of what I needed.
Rating: 4
It was probably a 3 star watch before I figured out I could buy new faces for it solely because I didn't like the look. I was worried about the 44 being huge since I have small hands but went for it for the battery life. I'm not disappointed. It isn't overbearing and it's very lightweight. I had to restart it one day because it stopped doing anything but it came back on and other than that I haven't had any issues. I mainly use it to control my music and for alarms. I like the phone function when I'm in the car also. I would like messenger to work better with it because I don't real text many people. I haven't figured out how to send a message really on messenger, just reply. I haven't looked it up either though but it's not an available app on here.

Great Smartwatch
Rating: 4
I've had the watch for two weeks now and love it. It takes some time to get to know how to use. My advice is to turn off the voice assistant ASAP, it's annoying. My only complaint is how it records the floors climbed. I've been on the Samsung site and tried all their fixes and nothing seems to make it work better. I've used Fitbits for years and they work great. Not sure why Samsung can't figure it out. I would familiarize yourself with the features on Youtube to make it easier when your watch arrives.
