Great looking & great features
Rating: 5
I previously owned several Fitbit trackers which were “OK”. It seemed like I was always replacing bands or my screen would crack. I decided I needed to see what else was available and I'm so happy I did! The Vivomove 3S is a beautiful watch and an accurate tracker with fun extra features like the weather, controlling the music on your phone, email, etc. I LOVE my Garmin!

I was disappointed in this watch and returned it. It was difficult to read and didn't have many features that a smart watch should have.

Pretty watch poor touch screen
Rating: 1
I bought this expensive watch for Christmas to upgrade from my old Apple Watch I loved and to use for track season, training, swimming, etc. This watch is beautiful to look at, and I've gotten so many compliments on its appearance; however, the touch screen hasn't worked correctly at all. It won't even let me start a long run much less speed workouts. It's frustrating due to the price and how much time I've wasted trying to figure it out. I've heard so many great reviews and wanted to love it, but I'm sadly unable to use 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.
