I have the 44mm BT version. This is my first smart watch and so far I like it a lot. It's very comfortable on my wrist. I tried out the sleep function and it was comfortable to sleep with. It interesting to see how much actual R.E.M. I'm really getting.There were a couple of small updates out the box that were available to address the GPS accuracy and a newer version of Tizen. I tested the GPS with another phone and a 3 mile run was just as accurate as the phone.For some reason the weather app on the watch couldn't find my location. After some digging on the internet, I've found that the GPS needs to be turned on the watch. It was off by default on my watch. Once you've turned GPS on, go to the Samsung Wearables app on THE PHONE and go to the weather function app and select your city. Then refresh your Samsung Watch Tizen weather app and it will pick up your weather location.I have this watch primarily to keep an eye on my ticker. I know that the echo cardiogram like function for the watch will not be available until early 2020, but it's nice to have an Android watch that eventually will have it.Battery lasts about 1.5 days with heavy usage. 2 days with minimal.For all that this watch does it's a great value.

I am a big Garmin fan but I had to replace mine due to it going faulty. So I decided on the Samsung Active 2 44mm, I wasnt impressed with it when I had it for a few days. Battery life just over a day and I am sure the Hr sensor on it isnt accurate. The screen is nice and big and the glass with the display is very clear and crisp . I love how you can answer phone calls and write text like using your finger to draw the letters. And get the notifications without missing them , I use the lighted full screen when working out and put it on gray scale when not using it for tracking my workout. So the battery can last up to 4 maybe 5 plus days. Even so you can still read your hear rate and get notifications, alarm etc with the battery saver on. I like how you can change the straps which is real easy. I personally dont think the HR sensor is accurate or the treadmill ap as its way off. The only one thing I dislike about the samsung watch is the ap, its not too good you cant see your full gps walk, or heart rate or other health readings . If they updated , made more or a better ap then this watch would be the best on the market . A great watch with a bad ap is its downfall .Oh but if you planning on buying one buy a screen protector just in case.

It has a lot of workout modes to choose from, saying that I wish they would add the ones that are already on the Samsung Health app like Basketball, which is on the Apple Watch. Besides that it’s a great looking watch for just about any occasion being able to choose any watch face you want is nice, and if you don’t see one you like you can create your own using the Galaxy Watch Studio on a computer. The sleep tracking was an added bonus for me when I bought the watch and it works pretty good, there was a point about 3 weeks into using the watch it just stopped working, but I was able to fix it by restarting the watch. The battery life averages about 2 days for me after having it for a little over 3 months, the GPS tracking when running works great but uses a good amount of battery life. For example if you run for 30 minutes using the GPS the battery will have gone from 75% to 60% or below. But all in all it’s a great watch and if I could go back in time I would buy it again.

Every once in a while I come across a product that lives up to all it's claims, and this is definitely one of those things. They say money can't buy you happiness, but I would have to disagree when it comes to this watch. Every time I look at it I'm happy with my purchase. That in itself makes this worth every penny in my opinion. On top of that, the watch is very stylish and performs exactly as described. I've only had the watch for a short time, but everything I've tried works flawlessly. There's so much functionality I may never get to it all. I suppose someone out there can find this or that to complain about with it, but I have yet to find one thing about it that I dislike. Sorry but I'm going to be pretty light on the technical aspects of this watch in this review. There are plenty of technical reviews, videos, and information on Samsung's website that people can utilize. If you are interested in this watch, do your own research and make your own decision. I'm very happy with mine though! One other thing I wanted to mention was how great Amazon was in handling my order. I had pre-ordered my watch, but the estimated delivery was going to be a month away! I was not happy at all with that, since I could have purchased it locally and got it same day. One call to customer service and the issue was resolved. My hat is off to Amazon's customer service! To date I've never had a problem that they were not able to solve promptly and to my complete satisfaction.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with United States version or the international version. I opted to go with the US version. The only difference is Samsung pay won't work in the international version and there's a possibility you might not be able to install updates. Anyway the watch is very lightweight beautifully crafted and works very well. The screen is super bright and the audio for calls and music is better than expected. Probably will buy another band at some point not because there's anything wrong with the silicone band it comes with but I like to have options depending on how I'm dressed. The watch seems fairly fast and the heart rate monitor, in my opinion, is extremely accurate. The watch is extremely customizable. And didn't take that long to set up. Battery life may not be as good as a Fitbit for example but still decent you get about 2 days if you set up the watch correctly. The touch bezel is very smooth and easy to use. I'm currently on a weight loss Journey and I'm about one-third of the way there and wanted to get a good Fitness watch. I'm telling you right now if you're into fitness don't hesitate to buy this. It works extremely well. Also before I forget the watch seems to be pretty waterproof. I actually showered for over 10 minutes with the watch on and had no issues when I got out. Just put water lock mode on so the screen can't be touched.

Let me tell something, i was always skeptical into buying a smartwatch no matter who was the manufacturer, because to me it always seemed like a gimmick, like a trend that we all will get over it, but sometime has passed a little over 3 years, and boy i was wrong. So this 2019 i bought the S10+ which i already left my review, i love my phone but i was curious over the smartwatch experience that so many people now were having. So i started looking for one, and review after review i noticed that there is many more options available for people on android than iOS. There was fossil, fitbit, huawei, lg, samsung and others. But i realized that the quality of smartwatch made my Samsung was overall the best. I looked for reviews for the Galaxy Watch and the Galaxy Active and was undecided over which one should buy, until the Galaxy Watch Active 2 came out. After reviewing it online i decided that this is the watch i should get. I've been using it a little over a month and let me tell you its awesome. It completely changed my view of smartwatches and usefulness of owning one. The build quality is great, the features great, design is awesome, battery lasts 2 days, i can use almost every strap, the health apps are precise, it can play spotify standalone without having to be connected via bluetooth to my S10+. THIS IS THE BEST SMARTWATCH YOU CAN BUY FOR NON APPLE USERS. GET IT NOW!

I bought this as a gift for my husband who is a personal trainer who runs his own business and he loves it. He has the Galaxy Note and loves the seamless integration between the watch and his phone. He loves the breathing app, the tracking features. When working he can quickly check for emergencies in between exercises or prep time. This is especially useful when he has back to back sessions in the morning.It also stops him from missing important messages from clients. He loves that you can answer your phone from the watch and can call his phone if he misplaces it.I love it because of its versatility. It can be dressed up to look like a business watch for business functions or dressed down to look like a fitness watch, and the accessories to do this are not expensive at all. I got him 3 different looking screen protectors for $8 (a must for a trainer swinging kettlebells and other gym equipment). My husband also always breaks watch straps but, if needed, this replacement will not be expensive and is easy to do without taking it to our watch guy.

I bought this for the heart rate monitor, and the ultimate selling point..the ambient light sensor.being able to see the display outdoors in the sun is VERY helpful.pros:way too many to list them all, but I'll call out a few.ability to answer calls when hooked up to one's phone via bluetooth.ability to use the watch as a speakerphone when answering said phonecalls.ability to control music playback..no it does NOT matter what app one uses for playback.so many watch faces and customizable ones at that, that its seriously not funny.expandable capabilities, simply add the requisite app to the watch.cons:the wrist band has a tendency to get slick with sweat and feel all scuzzy and slimy in humid weather, a more breathable band would have been a better choice than this tpu polymer band.observations:depending on how often/long you have the display active and what features you enable, the battery will either last barely a day, or many days.I've gotten almost five days on a single charge repeatedly.you WILL spend DAYS just playing with it, learning what all it can do, and I havent even touched on the fitness features packed into this watch.Expensive..but WORTH the price.

This is my first Samsung smart watch and I totally love it. I have only had it a couple of months now but I have not had any troubles with it not sending me a notification from my phone. Compared to the other watches I've used, this one is so much more accurate. I was also very surprised with how much of a difference there was with the step counts. My other watches under counted all of my steps quite a bit. I don't want to throw anyone else under the buss, but this watch by far is the winner. It does so many awesome things that I have not had the time to learn yet. I can take a shower with it on and I've been told it can be worn in a pool as well. My only complaint about it would be on the low power magnet where it wirelessly charges. This makes it more difficult to keep it charging if you don't have a dock.
