Great Watch
Rating: 5
The new samsung watch is awesome. A great improvement of the first edition I had which worked great until after 2 1/2 years which didn't stay charged for over 4 hrs. Any how, the new watch works like it should and has the features I like. I would get it again.

Free floors
Rating: 3
The first couple of months this watch was great, but for some reason after a software update the floors climbed started going up (even when the watch is in the cradle charging).. I would get 2-300 floors in a day without actually going up a single flight of stairs.. apparently this is an ongoing problem since it still to this day (2 years later) has not been fixed.. (you can even see in the image I added.. 39 floors today.. haven't gone up a single flight of stairs)

Great watch, but...
Rating: 3
i like the watch, but it really gripes me when they do updates that wipe out all my settings! especially when i have to re-validate samsung pay accounts. plus i can't find the watch faces that i previously purchased! i'm not going to make the mistake of purchasing any more of the watch faces. and i spent over three hours today trying to get everything set up again.

great smartwatch, not so great fitness watch
Rating: 2
I so wanted to love this watch. The display is amazing, the apps work seemlessly, and email and notifications come right through and easy to read. Even taking a call is easy and others say they can't tell I am talking on a watch. Well, that is where the accolades end. Those are the reasons I gave it 2 stars because it was perfect in all those areas, just don't buy it for a fitness watch. Step counting is horrible. I get up and walk the copier and back = 0 steps. I am averaging about 3000 steps less than fitbit or garmin PER DAY. Also, when I take my runs or walks about 50% of the time the heart rate stops recording all together. Yes I know how to wear the watch as I have owned several garmins and suunto watches in the past. Looking online this is a common problem. Really thought this was going to be my go to watch. Photo enclosed showing how the heart rate just stops in workouts. Had problems with both the samsung app and trying to use map my run. Both had the same issues. I'll be taking mine back!

14 months later & I still LOVE the Samsung Active
Rating: 5
It was back in early 2019 that I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, months later the Active 2 was released. I sold my Active and Purchased the Active 2. Months later, November 2019, I purchased my first Active 2 LTE and then sold my Active 2. Yeah, the Active 2 LTE has been my favorite smartwatch in the last five years!!! Here's my YouTube channel in which I have tested the watch and added VLOG style posts.

Better than my Apple watch 3
Rating: 5
Im in love with this smart watch! Is way better than my apple watch 3. If you are going to buy the Galaxy watch active 2 invest the extra $150 for the LTE version, I bought the regular watch and end up changing it for the LTE version which is PREMIUM in ALL the sense of the word.

Cool Watch!
Rating: 4
Great watch. It has a lot going on. I only hope that an update will eventually allow it to support a trail hiking gps map system. That will make it "whole for me". That was the main reason for me purchasing it. The name "Active 2" made me assume that it would support more gps aps.

Galaxy Active 2 Needs Improvment
Rating: 3
Samsung really makes Good Hardware, But software I don't think so. But Samsung Active 2 Hardware is very Nicely Design, But Software wise is Behind Google Wear OS, I don't like the Tizen Software lacks of Pure Android Apps and the Samsung App Store is really Bad., I come from a Fossil 5G with Wear OS and it had most Android stock apps Like Google Play Music, and a lot of Stock Android Apps, Samsung Needs to End TIZEN and BITZY, and add better specs to its Samsung Smart Watch, Samsung should dedicate making Hardware not Software.

Limited
Rating: 3
I bought this 2 weeks ago with the understanding that it is a standalone device. Unfortunately, even if you purchase the LTE version you will still be tethered to your phone by the short range leash of bluetooth if you're on certain carrier networks. I've learned this the hard way. No one tells you this till you find out your watch keeps going out of range and becomes useless as a standalone device, as advertised. My carrier is Sprint and they only fessed up after I spoke with Samsung. Doesn't always track steps if your arms are not in a certain position and motion. Disconnects from WIFI and network thorough out the day.

Hard to Sync!!!!!!
Rating: 2
I bought the Gold 44m. On 12-26-19. And could not get it to sync to my Note 9. So I am returning it back to the store for another one. If this does not work Samsung you all need to try it again. It should not be this hard to sync a Samsung device to another Samsung device.

Way too buggy and was pointless to get LTE model
Rating: 1
I purchased this mainly for the sleep tracking, but I was hoping to use it for a lot more. Unfortunately, it has far too many bugs and has proven to be completely unreliable. For instance, it will miss entire nights sleep, will count time on the charger as being asleep, and oddly enough, it will correctly detect that I'm awake in the sleep tracking (for some reason, "awake" is one category of sleep that it uses), but will still count that as time "asleep", so even when it correctly (believably?) detects my sleep it still gives an inflated amount. Also, its heart tracking is horrendous! It often has me at 30-50 extra bpm when I use the tracking. The only way I've found to get it to correct itself is to change it back to manual, then do a handful of manual readings. Each reading will be roughly 10-15 bpm less until it gets down to the (hopefully) accurate value. My biggest complaint though is that I paid for the LTE version so that I could use it independently of my cell phone. This only works as intended if it's in frequent range of my cell and my cell is turned on. If my phone shuts down or restarts for any reason (low power, etc), the watch software stops it from being usable for ANYTHING other than the watch face itself. You can't even adjust the watch brightness or mute it without having to go to your phone, charge it, power it back on, and unlock your phone. So don't even think about hoping to use this in AN EMERGENCY... There have been a lot of other issues, but those are ones that make it amount to little more than an expensive fashion piece. I wish I'd gotten a different brand. Can't mention any other brands in reviews per their guidelines, but sounds like (don't) 'get this'.

This watch absolutely sucks.
Rating: 1
i got the watch to use on my workouts and record my runs more accurately but the battery dies with little to no use. i charged the device to 100% and 4 hours later its completely dead, the power save mode doesn't help much either.

BLACK SCREEN - UNRESPONSIVE- NO FIX
Rating: 1
BLACK SCREEN - After owning for two weeks, I didnt want to wear it without a protective cover, so I waited another week for it to arrive. Once it arrived I was anxious to put it to use. The watch was charged to 89% as indicated by the Wearable app on my phone. I turned it on, I could feel the haptic response when moving my finger around the bezel...no screen response. Tried all options noted by other customers. Reboot, hold power button, hold both buttons 15 seconds...nothing. Black screen. Samsung rep stated no other customers have experienced this. Not true. Even though there are responses from their technicians on their website, the tech still denied anyone else had the same issue. So...either mail back for repair and wait or return for a refund. Disappointed for sure.
