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.

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.

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.

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.

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've had a Huawei Watch running WearOS for around five years. I really liked having a smartwatch (mainly for notifications) but the Huawei battery wouldn't even last a work day anymore (and even when new barely made it a full work day) and was dog slow. I wanted to get another WearOS watch but they're all based on an outdated Qualcomm SoC which makes even a brand new one slow with poor battery life. Since I have a Samsung Note 9 phone, a Samsung watch was the next obvious choice. This 44mm version is FAR lighter than my Huawei watch. I got black because the silver isn't really silver, it's more blue and doesn't match any metal band that I tried. Even this back watch isn't really black. Samsung is trying to be different I guess. Performance is very snappy and notifications work great. The battery lasts two days which is awesome. I'm not sure how tough the glass will prove to be (the Huawei has a sapphire crystal that I never managed to scratch) but so far, so good. The body isn't as tough and I already have a small bright silver scratch on it which is disappointing. At least I can use a Sharpie to touch it up. I can't comment on the fitness features because I don't use them. All in all I'm pretty happy with this watch. It's a huge step up from my old one and the long battery life feels live I've now entered the modern age.

I bought this smartwatch to replace an older, Fossil WearOS based smartwatch that did not feature heart rate tracking. I don't miss Google's WearOS ecosystem at all. I use a Samsung phone, which makes coordination between the watch and phone nearly seamless.MAIN POINTS:- Battery life is fantastic! With my old watch, I would be around 20 percent with moderate use at the end of the day. This watch, with heart rate, GPS, bluetooth on, moderate usage, puts me at around 80 percent. I charge it every night, but fully believe it would last 4-5 days with moderate usage.- Workout tracking is very easy. There are a few quick workouts to tap and go on a page, but for full tracking you have to go through the Samsung Health app.- Accurate GPS tracking- Touch-based bezel scrolling is innovative, but I prefer swiping through screens (just how I operated with my old watch)- Fast and fluid, have not experienced any slowdowns- Build quality is top notch. This is more or less a flagship device, and feels that way. The watch feels premium, sleek, and doesn't weigh much at all.- Samsung needs to update their Wear app to make settings easier. There are multiple ways to get to settings, and you may get lost looking for what you want. For example, there are settings in the watch menu itself, in the Samsung Wear app, or maybe the app specifically for what you are wanting to change (i.e. heart rate in Samsung Health.) Streamlining will go a long way.- Voice and microphone are good, sound is loud, vibration does a good job notifying you. People I've talked to through the watch could not tell a difference between my phone and watch.Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase. This watch is next level and checks all of the boxes for things I'm looking for in a smartwatch.

I replaced my Asus zen3 watch with the Samsung Active 2 watch primarily for longer battery life, swim safe, and pulse monitoring. So far it has lived up to expectations. Finding your app on the phone is much easier than with the Zen3 but still a little clumsy. I have spend lots of time in pool with this watch and no problems so far. I use the pulse monitor for workouts which is easier than using a standalone unit. The battery life is a major plus as it can easily go 2 days without a charge and it can do a 75% recharge in about 2 hours. The apps are colorful and easy to read. Responding to texts and emails is very easy. It answers phone calls with a decent speaker and the microphone seems to work well. It has EKG capability which has been approved by Korea and is built into this phone but will not be active until regulatory issues dealt with. It will involve placing your finger on a button which will act as a 1 lead EKG. Overall, this is a great watch. The much more expensive LTE version sounds good but cannot justify especially as you have to get a separate account for it from your cell carrierFinding apps on this watch is not always obvious but once you master them, they are really good. The exercise monitoring functions are great...especially biking and swimming. The biking function monitors heart zones and duration in each zone, milage, speed, and maps your ride on a map and then transfers it all to your phone for storage. Swimming keeps tack of number of laps automatically as well as strokes and calories. It even has a little pump function that pumps water out of the watch after you are done swimming. Bixby is hard coded in but you can ignore it. It displays pictures surprisingly well and music sounds not terrible on its little speaker.

So first off, I was looking for a new fitness tracker after I gave up on Polar. I gave them a good shot and was fed up. So when I came across this watch and realized I have a Samsung galaxy s9 I was like "huh..why not".I really only needed a watch for tracking my running. A nice added feature is the sleep monitor. I didnt care too much about that but after syncing with the Samsung health app on my phone I was intrigued by how much I could learn about my sleep patterns through this watch. I love that I can see the weather and check the forecast on my watch without needing my phone, like when I'm at work. It's so cool that I can track my period on this thing! I had no idea it did so much. I also didn't realize I could get calls and texts which I tuned off anyway, because I dont really want that stuff coming through bothering me while I'm running. I had no clue it could play music through spotify and can even show my caloric intake for the day through the app. I mean I am in love. I am so happy I went with this watch. It is worth every penny if you are active, health conscious or just a Samsung person. It has many cool features I didnt realize it had. I still find out new features every so often. For someone who is indecisive it's really nice that I can change the watch face often and customize them or buy one for 2 bucks. I just love it.If I could change/add one thing it would be to be able to scan the food for my meals through the app instead of having to put them in because they dont have everything and it would be more accurate to have a barcode scanner to find the food that way.Regardless, I'm ready to leave my boyfriend and marry this watch. It's the best.
