Fantastic Fit Device for Any Health Enthusiast!
Rating: 5
The Short and Sweet Review: Pros - The slim design is attractive and will surely turn heads at the gym or outside on the trail. Without depending on your smartphone, you can listen to music phone free. Cut the cord and go with Bluetooth headphones (IconX) to get the full experience. Monitor your heart rate, gps location (runs), hike for elevation, sleep, and many more activities throughout your healthy lifestyle. I also enjoy that this is water resistant rated at IP68, which means you can shower with it. Cons - The battery is my biggest complaint. Although you get about 4 days out of it, we all know that batteries eventually (over time) lose their juice. I would like to see a minimum 7 days out of this with a nice solid battery to last for years. The Long Run Review: The Samsung Gear Fit2 is device in which it can track your health on multiple categories. Setup was a breeze. The easy to read screen walks you step by step to setting up the connection to your phone, Wi-Fi, and setting up the items that are most important to you in regards to monitoring your healthy living. The Guts: Do you like tracking your steps? Do you like to monitor your heart rate? How about keeping an eye on how many calories you burned throughout the day? These are just a few of the many activities you can monitor while wearing the Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit2. With Fit2's AMOLED screen, boasting 1.5" Touch Screen, it's easy on the eyes. It's extremely responsive 512MB of RAM and 4 GB of Internal Storage allows for your to easily navigate the menu options and throw together a quick work out mix to keep you and your head in the moment! The battery is OK, in this regard. I would like to see the battery last minimunt 7 days. Right now, It will go about 4 days before it needs a full recharge to keep up with my very active lifestyle. The Cool Stuff: Enough with the insides, how does this work and keep me focused on my health? The Gear Fit2 is exceptional when it comes to reading your HR, knowing when you're on a walk/run, or begin an intense work out session, registering each step you take, keeping track of caffeine and water intake is essential to monitoring a healthy lifestyle. The Gear Fit2 also provides notifications from your phone. I enjoy the fact you can customize it to the point where you can set which apps you would like to be notified by. So far the readouts have been quite accurate in regards to comparing form other exercise bands (Nike Fuelband and FitBit Charge 2). Feeling the competitive edge?: The Gear Fit2 allows you to "challenge" another Gear Fit2 counterpart and once you complete your activity, you can then compare the two from each other and see who overworked their bodies to the max. The Gear Fit2 is so much more than just your typical watch (boring), it can keep you on track for a better and healthier lifestyle. Get to it, Get Fit2!

Great fitness tracker for everyday life!
Rating: 5
I have been using the watch for a couple weeks now and have been loving it. the watch is packed full of features. my favorite feature is being able to leave my phone at home and still be able to track my runs while still being able to listen to music. you can put music on the gear and then connect Bluetooth headphones to the gear. This feature makes runs a lot easier. it also tracks sleep which is a really cool feature and everything syncs up to the s health app so you can view all your activities on your phone. I highly recommend this fitness tracker/smartwatch.

Worth every cent!
Rating: 5
I received the Gear Fit as a gift a couple of years ago, and after some time with it I got addicted (never thought I'd need a smart wearable device before that). It had its limitations though, but with the new Gear Fit 2, Samsung seems to have addressed all those issues and the Gear Fit 2 is very close to being the perfect fitness tracking device. I specially like the auto-tracking functions (sleep, walking, running...) that were a major drawback in the original Fit where you had to instruct it manually to start tracking. I wish there were a gesture for "back" instead of reaching for the button each time. I wish there were a setting to make it wake up to the clock face each time and not the last page it was on.

Everything I expected
Rating: 5
I moved to GearFit 2 from a FItbit because the Fitbit just wasn't rugged enough. The Samsung has been great and it has additional capabilities like actually tracking my elliptical workouts vs just the steps and it integration to my Samsung phone has been great.

Great Product!
Rating: 5
Love this product so much! It works great. Counts my steps and I always forget to hit start button on a work out and it counts it anyways. Lets my know the weather and time with just a flick of my wrist. The battery life is really good too, I charge it almost every two days when I am just sitting on my couch. It is also water resistant so when you wash your hands you dont have to take it off. You can connect it to your phone to get notifications and reply to text messages. I love that it tracks your sleep and lets you know how long you are restless and actually sleep good. Shows how many calories you burn and can set a target of steps to reach daily. Counts floors and heart rate. And I love that you can change the look of it for free or purchase a cool specialized background. Highly recommend this is you have a Samsung.

Good fitness band with smartwatch features
Rating: 5
Upon first impressions i was pretty surprised with this new little band. It is very lightweight and feels like it has a good strap. I really enjoy the fact that it does floor counting as my Gear s2 does not. It also has a neat feature in that it has built in GPS, although i haven't had a chance to test that out on a run yet or anything. There isn't as many apps available for it as there are for the S2 but, in regards to that it is designed to be more of a fitness band with some smart watch features in my mind. Overall i'm very happy with it and appreciate that i've gotten the opportunity to test it out through #theinsidersnet

Busy Mom's thoughts on Samsung Gear fit2
Rating: 5
Product is great! Quality is great! It is a great fitness watch that will help assist you keep track of your heart rate, daily exercises, water intake , and caffiene intake. I highly recommend! I am a mother of 7 now and am always on the go! It helps me even track my busiest moments throught my day! It also allows me to keep in mind (since I constantly am checking time) that fitness is a necessity. I didn't five 5 stars is battery. Although, if you save battery by turning off bluetooth it will last a day or 2!

Grat Fitness Companion
Rating: 4
Received it last week and paired it with my Galaxy Note7 (yes, the outlawed phone, still I love it.) I do not use it as my main watch but on the right hand together with my old, simple but reliable Nike fuel-band. I love the graphics and all the available information, specially automatic activity and sleep tracking as well as the floors-up counter (although it is not clear how many feet or steps are considered a floor...) The water intake counter, steps and heart rate measuring are very useful. I wish there were more customizable home screens to choose from and - very important - that the Gear Fit2 could connect directly to the internet to upload all data - without a phone; if you change or lose the phone, you need to reset the Gear Fit2 to pair again - all past, unsynched data will be lost forever. Also, I wish it was completely water-proof to be able to swim with it and make those burned calories count! So far I would recommend this product.

Great step up from the original Gear Fit!!
Rating: 4
After having the Gear Fit 2 for several weeks I feel I can give my honest review about this. The gear Fit 2 is very light and not as tall or thick as the original Gear Fit and you barely know it is on your wrist. Having the ability to store your music right on the watch and have it connect to your Bluetooth headsets is a major feature that I really enjoy. Now I no longer have to keep my cell phone on me while I run. Also having it tell me how I am doing while I run at specific intervals which I set is also a nice feature, doing that lets me know if I am falling behind or keeping a good pace while I run, to me it feels like I have someone running next to me to keep me motivated. The GPS feature is also nice to have so if your keeping track of your run/walk route it will do that right on the watch itself without the need for a phone connected to it. The only real problem I have with this is it seems inconsistent on what 1.5 mile distance is, one day is my normal route, another day I have to run an additional block or two to get my 1.5 miles according to the watch. It does keep all the other features from the original Gear Fit like the notifications, find your phone, respond to texts via preset replies. Other than that this watch has been a great purchase for me and a large step up from the previous Gear Fit. I highly recommend this to anyone who is unsure which fitness watch to go with.

Not worth it.
Rating: 1
I liked this product at first, and I wear it everyday. However, the straps have started to come off and it does not accurately track my step. I get stair notifications when I am not walking up stars. It is a horrible design(referring to the wrist band). The key hole snap can easily be pulled apart by putting on a coat or a long sleeve shirt. I have found this thing in many dressing rooms or my coat/jacket sleeve. I cannot return this thing because I have had it so long, but feel like this was totally a waste of money.

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.
