Integrates Well with Samsung's Ecosystem
Rating: 5
i recently upgraded to a samsung galaxy s10e and wanted a fitness tracker that would integrate with the samsung health app. i switched from a garmin fitness tracker and have been using the galaxy fit for about a month now and i love it. the interface is easy to use/navigate and i love being able to get notifications from my phone on my fit. (the garmin wearable's notifications didn't work as well as i would like.) the heart rate tracker, sleep tracker, and fitness tracker all work well. i use this to track my runs and if you run with your phone like i do, the samsung health app on the phone will also record your gps settings from your run as well! overall, this is an excellent product for the price and i personally prefer this because it plays well with samsung's other apps.

Great Watch - Tracker
Rating: 4
The watch is great. I can read and see everything on the watch out in the bright sun, I don't worry about it getting wet while doing dishes etc. It has a big bright interface and syncs with Samsung Health. The only reason it didn't get five starts is that I would like the home screen to have the date on it. I can add my calendar to it but that is the second screen. Compared to the two fitbits I had, I would buy this one again and recommend.

Good watch for the price
Rating: 4
Love it. The only thing I miss on this that the bigger Samsung watches have is "Find my phone". I like the buckle on this one more than the one with the bigger watch face. I have had 2 of the bigger Samsung watches and they didn't last more than a year so I didn't want to pay a lot of $$$ but still wanted the exercise tracking functionality that interfaced well with Samsung phone.

An excellent Fit with Galaxy S10
Rating: 4
Overall very satisfied, easily connected to Galaxy S10 thru Gear app. For small wrist need a band retainer. I use 10% power in a day and recharges in less than hour. Recommend a start screen for exercise. Recommend auto adjustable to light.

Simple Features, Lousy band.
Rating: 3
I bought this back in December of 2019. I like everything about it except the band. The end tucks under and because the material is some kind of rubber or plastic the only way I can get it off is to use some kind of tool to get it off. Presently there are no other bands available for this unit.

Just ok
Rating: 3
I should have spent more money and purchased a fit smart watch that had the display on all of the time. Even though, you have to turn on the display with a wrist turn or pushing the button, it seems to run out of charge quickly. The watch works fine and keeps the data I need: time, steps, weather, etc. It does not sync with my computer only with my phone, which is also a disappointment.

Not as good as I had hoped.
Rating: 3
Worked good at first. But the battery life is getting shorter and shorter. It's taking longer to charge also. I've only had it about three weeks. I still haven't figured out how to give quick response to texts.

Samsung Galaxy Fit
Rating: 1
The watch has great features, especially if you use Samsung products. The battery was great for exactly ONE WEEK, then it started to die. Even after trouble-shooting everything, I have to charge it daily. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Avoid at all costs! you've been warned
Rating: 1
This is the worst quality watch I've ever owned. I'm currently on my 3rd watch within 2 months. I'd switch except i can only exchange for same one unfortunately. First one quit charging after 2 weeks and the screen refused to do anything except flash colors. 2nd one the band broke after 3 weeks (connection the watch itself) I'll just keep exchanging it until my time runs out. (no pun intended) Cant believe Samsung would allow such a low quality item when normally they have decent quality.

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.
