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.

Battery
Rating: 1
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.

Battery shortage
Rating: 1
i recently ordered the galaxy watch to help monitor my heart rate but was unable to do so because the battery would not even last four hours. i ordered the watch brand new and had the battery die on me several times with minimal usage time of the watch throughout the week that i had it. battery life was not good at all, quite horrible!

Checked off all the boxes for me.
Rating: 5
I've been researching all the available fitness trackers on the market, trying to narrow the field down a bit to make an educated decision. I made a list of must-haves to assist me in the process. This one checked off all the boxes. I was leaving heavily towards the Fitbit Ionic, Garmin Forerunner 245, & Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro towards the end. So far, I'm very happy with my decision. I love how sporty it looks, how simple & intuitive it is to navigate with bezel or via touch on the fly, the all metal, yet lightweight build quality, and the ability to use it WITHOUT MY PHONE to listen to music on my earbuds & even pay at NFC enabled registers using Samsung Pay. Great device.

Amazing watch
Rating: 5
I bought this watch in May, and used it for my entire internship, I love the clicky turn wheel, and every app that was preloaded into the watch. The notifications on my phone allow me to keep the ringtone off, and still get them without notifying everyone around me, and texting people on here is a breeze. I have gone swimming with this multiple times, and not had a single issue.

Great watch
Rating: 5
Bought it with my note 10+ they work flawlessly together and it does everything I need it to do also it being water resistant is an added bonus. Only thing I changed was the band to a metal one they are more comfortable to me and look better

Way cool
Rating: 5
This watch is awesome. It has a great battery life (I consistently get 2.5 days), tracks sleep, and performs so much better than the Wear OS watches I used for three years before finally coming to my senses and trying Samsung. I love integration with my A50 phone too.

Looks good!!

I got this along with Galaxy note 10. It has a great feature. But, functions aren't variable.

After 3 weeks of use
Rating: 4
I recently purchased this device and utilize it everyday. I find it very useful in most circumstances, but there's the occasionally hiccups that could use improvement. Pros: Price Internal memory The ability to play music directly from the watch (if you're being active and don't want to carry a phone). Ability to write and it convert (rather than 26 tiny letters) Easy to scroll and use Cons: Battery (if you're actively using the phone, you'll get maybe 6 hours) Connecting to BT can sometimes be a pain. No sleep tracker Small amount of memory Color options The heart rate monitor does not work (at all)

Watch is great software not so much
Rating: 4
The watch itself is fantastic. It does a great job of detecting on its on when i'm beginning a workout and tracks it very well. I wear it doing mostly crossfit workouts which it seems to do a good job tracking. The Samsung Health app on the other hand is really buggy. It crashes almost every time i use if for more than one minute. Its a serious problem that hopefully Samsung will address updating the app.

Allergy warning
Rating: 3
I bought the Samsung Gear Sport a few days ago. It was great the first day. The second day I realized it was hurting a bone on my wrist. I figured it would take time to get used to it. Today I had itching and irritation aound the entire area that it had contact with. I had no choice but to return it. It made my wrist very sweaty. The functionality was a bit difficult to navigate. Was very disappointed that I couldn't talk or listen to music on it without a bluetooth. It has an alarm that makes sound so it has a speaker of some kind. I was really excited about getting this watch, very sad I had to return it. It has a great look to it and I love the wireless charger. How do you become a product tester?

Great potential, disappointing performance
Rating: 3
I enjoy many things about this watch, including style, the screen, and the different apps. However, fitness tracking is off in regards to calories burned. And I mean seriously off. This is a main reason why I bought the watch, so it's really disappointing that it is unable to count calories burned accurately. I have compared it to multiple other trackers as well as general nutritional health information, and the calculations are consistently off. Fix this issue, and you have a great product. One other gripe, the bezel is really easy to scratch and mark up.

Water Ressistance is a Lie
Rating: 2
I bought the watch about 10 months ago and yesterday, I was in a pool and I activated the water proof mode and I was completly sure it was going to be fine. But when I was in the pool the watch turned completly off and wouldn't start. Once it started I saw that the screen was sourt of damged and the "Watch face always on" feature was completly ruined. It also looks kind of slow. So recomedation do what you do but be careful with water.
