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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
