My husband bought this watch for me about a month ago and I absolutely love it he got one for himself and he loved his so he bought me one I love that we can see each other‘s progress when it comes to working out it helps with accountability and pushes you Meet goals Every day there’s something new that I figure out about my watch and I’m absolutely in love with it!!

Just what I was looking for
Rating: 5
Needed a new tracker and this has everything I need! Screen is easy to read- even with sunglasses on! Buttons are simple and the screen is very responsive. GPS is great to use on bike rides and runs with quick and easy links to strava. Still need to play around with the music feature and some others but so far the watch has performed great! Lightweight and fits nicely on my wrist.

After getting into running outside due to covid, I decided I wanted to get a fitness watch so I didn't have to carry my phone anymore. I really love the Vivo 4s and have not had trouble downloading my music with Spotify (though you do need a premium account). Would recommend!

Super Powerful!
Rating: 4
I am loving my vivoactive 4s so far! I am impressed with being able to have an accurate GPS reading and listen to music from my watch without needing my phone with me on a run. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is I don't find it as intuitive to use right out of the box as other smart watches I have used before, so it has taken me a little bit longer to figure out all the features and how to best use the applications on the watch. I think after another couple of days I'll have it all figured out! Excited to use this watch to train for my first full marathon.

Perfect for almost any workout!
Rating: 4
I use this for running/walking (outdoor and treadmill), yoga, pilates, biking, and cardio. There are so many workouts which can be tracked as well as sleep, heart rate, and steps. I got pregnant after I already had this watch and I love it even more now since I can keep track of my heart rate and sleeping habits. I only wish the battery would live longer.

So far, so good
Rating: 4
After much deliberation, I switched from a Fitbit to my Vivoactive 4S. And I am super impressed with Capture of my walking and running. Definitely is not as accurate with sleep. I wish (hint hint) I could store music through Rock my Run. But every other feature is remarkably excellent.

Having a hard time
Rating: 3
Can’t figure out how to use the activity items. Once I start a pool swim, for instance, I can’t figure out how to stop and save the activity. The check mark and x do not seem to respond when I press them. I have gone to the detailed instructions but they are not helpful, considering contacting Garmin by phone for some assistance

Great except for a few things
Rating: 3
The sleep tracking doesn’t work right. I’ll sleep for 7 or eight hours and it says I slept for 10+. Also my calories I burn are different than Fitbit, not sure if it’s more accurate or less but it’s different. One more thing, I thought there would be a way to show people where I am so they can make sure I’m ok if I’m hiking and I haven’t found that either 🙁 I sort of feel like I should have just gotten a Fitbit

Like the style but controls are clunky
Rating: 3
I just got this watch in the last week. I love the size and round face. The controls and shifting through programs is clunky... meaning take multiple steps. It's also difficult to do a running program and change your music playlist. I don't like that you have to pay for watch faces. The ones that they provide for free offers a lot to be desired. Fitbit had more options. Similar functionality to Fitbit alternatives... not sure yet that I like this watch more yet.

Great buy
Rating: 5
This was a good purchase. I can track my movement, various exercises, and meal consumption to see if I'm on target. The price was reasonable and I'm impressed so far.

Big qitch for people with big wrists
Rating: 5
Had a hard time finding this instore so I ordered it online instead. It has a very large band for thise with big wrists. Yes there are many more watch faces for this watch, as it is a digital display.

Best gift to myself
Rating: 5
Wonderful device. My hearing isn't so great anymore, so the vibration on my wrist for an incoming call is welcomed. But that's not all - this watch is simply perfect. I love the large size, the bezel and the overall look. It's vintage in style and I love that. I bought a set of bumpers to protect all the way around and a bezel ring that has nice slightly raised knobs to make the bezel easier to turn while the bumper is on. You can't even tell I have a bumper on! I am in the process of buying more of the thinner leather bands for it, too, because those are the most comfortable for me. The watch works smoothly and accurately and the choices for personalized apps and watch faces make choosing fun. I originally wanted the LTE version, but the price on this one was absolutely stunning ($90 cheaper than anywhere else) that I bought it and haven't regretted the decision.

My husband loves this watch! He is not what you would call a technology savant, but he likes the features and has started to walk more due to the tracker

Samsung smart watch paired with my cell Samsung note 9 is amazing, I'm set to exercise and won't miss any of my appointments with this duo at my disposal.

Great Watch, just wish there were more apps for it. Comfortable to wear. Used in pool and it hasn't affected it.

Questionable value
Rating: 2
I had high hopes for the Galaxy Watch but was very disappointed. Some built-in apps don't work or don't work well. Samsung Health is very unreliable....it refuses to count floors and step count is not accurate. These are known issues which Samsung apparently is not dealing with. Suggest you stay with your FitBit for health tracking. Samsung Pay on the watch is unreliable (unlike Samsung Pay on my phone which is great).....it worked only once after some effort. Apps such as weather don't auto refresh and even won't manually refresh consistently...it took 2 days and multiple manual refresh requests before it got current. Bing would open on voice command but would not recognize any voice command....wouldn't respond at all. WiFi and Bluetooth connections had trouble refreshing even with manual requests. I'm returning the watch.
