i bought this watch a week or so ago. i like everything about it except i was under the impression that i could answer calls on my watch as long as my galaxy note 10 plus was within range. i have called samsung and have gone to verizon store and it still does not work.

Rather disappointed

after less than a years use of the watch, it got stuck in a reboot mode and wouldn't turn on or off. after getting it checked, i found out that too much water got in the watch. for a fitness watch that is water resistant and has a water lock mode, i was pretty confused on how this happened. i do swim with the watch on, however, i always have waterlock mode. very disappointed that the watch broke because i really liked the watch itself. i think it worked well and i liked the features before it broke.

this is the worst item i have ever bought in my life. i may aswell of flushed $129 down the toilet. i was robbed. samsung stole my money from me. i got the black screen of death within 30 days and sent my watch back to samsung who claimed it had water damage. which is not possible as i have not been in water with my watch on. if this is true this watch broke from rain water at the very most! they want me to pay $155 dollars for repairs even under warranty. i do not recommed any of these watches to anybody. customer service told me to basically get screwed and do not care!! i was robbed.

i was hoping i could replace my fitbit charge 3 with comparable features and more style, but the software for my samsung is far more complex, and the battery didn't even last one day and i hardly used it!
i already gave up and went back to my old fitbit.
dissapointed

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.

i was looking for a smaller health tracker to use with android, and the active checked all the boxes. hr and sleep tracking were important to me as well as water resistance and gps.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active is a great is a great electronic purchase I have made. I brought the Samsung Galaxy earbuds in January and with both items I'm about to call some back using the watch and talking with my earbuds, text, keep track of my activity movements, heart rate, calendar, sleep time and so much more. I feel this purchase was a very good investment. Get you one!!

This was my first smartwatch and I was really excited to receive this product. It is really hard to text on the screen and the text with voice is not accurate. I wish I would have waited to get the new watch active.

My Samsung 9 won't charge the watch
Sleepstate
11/18/2019
It looked good the 3 hours it worked before the battery died. It won't charge on a Samsung Note 9 and does not come with anything to charge it with. So I guess it only works if you have a certain phone. As to the rest of what it does, it went on that's all I know. I tried to find watch faces with my phone at the samsung app store and all I can or could ever see are a bunch of colored tiles.

No water resistance at all.

I bought this item about 3 months ago. it was really cool, I say not so bed. You need to charge the watch every day, the battery life was almost 26-27 hours. So as it is water resistance I was swimming with my watch, until one day the screen turned off right in the water, and did not respond ever again. And yes it was in the swimming mode. Right now the display is not working at all. The IMPORTANT part of all this is that that liquid damage is not covered under the warranty. So why are You writing that the watch is water resistance ???, maybe it would be better to write - It CAN BE water resistance, or can not, just try and find out. If I bought something water resistance and it started to not work because of the water, I believe that the support need to do anything to fix this problem, but not the answer I get. This was the answer 'Please be advised that liquid damage is not covered under the warranty. It means that you will have to pay for the repair.'

I pre-ordered this watch and got it on April 3, 2019; I have been using it almost daily for about 6 months now. I take good care of it and give it an occasional reboot to clear the memory/cache.
It's a nice, sleek looking watch. I particularly like that it is lightweight and comes with a lot of nice features (such as auto-tracking workouts, HR monitor, sleep analysis, etc). I was really happy with this watch at first, but as the months have gone by, it has had an increasing number of problems.
-The battery life was great at first, lasting about 2 days without needing a charge. Now, however, it lasts a day, maybe less depending on how active I am.
-The HR detector has always been unreliable, which is to be expected for optical, but recently the cut-outs where it can't detect heart rate are becoming more frequent.
-My watch has recently become prone to being slow or momentarily freezing. There are even times where the touch screen stops working completely and I have to hold down the power button to do a hard reboot.
All in all, it's a nice watch for someone who is very active and I like the features that it comes with. However, because the watch doesn't work nearly as well as it did just 6 months ago, I would not say it is worth the price.

I had the Samsung Galaxy Watch, but I didn't really like it so I returned it. Even the smallest size was too bulky for my wrist. I didn't like either color it came in, but I got the black. I didn't like any of the watchfaces with it. It added too much money to my bill.
When the Active came out, I was so excited! It comes in more colors; I chose silver because I mostly wear silver everyday. It looks good with everything, including most the watchfaces and interchangeable bands. The price really worked for me. It's awesome! I love it!

I pre-ordered this watch mainly for the blood pressure feature. Only to find out that the feature will not work with my phone and that it is more of a study than a "feature". After having the watch for less than a month the watch face has 2 deep scratches during normal use, which is suppose to have military specs and is not covered under warranty. The step count does not work when pushing a shopping cart or stroller.

I bought the wacth in march but received today, thats the only downside. My husband's have the galaxy watch but it was to bulky for my small wrist (even the small version), this one is perfect size for women's! I love it! Nothing to envy the galaxy watch. Overall has everything I need! Really easy to use!

Beautiful watch but slight flaws
KatMach

Sincethe gear s2 came out, I've been a loyal fan of these watches. Recently it was time to replace my s2 for a new watch and this one was my top pick. Its honestly beautiful. Minimal and sleek. By far my favorite smart watch ever. However with the low price came lack of quality. The watch was missing speakers for calls and the screen was hard to use without the infamous rotating bezel. Also the screen scratched so easily. Nevertheless, it is still one of my favorites.

My husband purchased this for me a little over a week ago. The battery life is not the greatest and the actual face of the watch is very fragile. I was at work (I am a nurse) and bumped the face on the side rail of the patient's bed and it cracked. I sent it in to be repaired hopefully it wont be an arm and a leg to fix since its not under the warranty.

Good watch but BP was a promise to not kept
Turtledeeaz
3/28/2019
Like many, my purchase was based on blood pressure monitoring advertised at release. I'd been quite loyal to my previous wearable fitness tracker, I had no intention of switching to samsung until I saw the promos for the newly released active. I made purchase knowing update/app was pending. I do manually check my blood pressure (I take meds for high bp). I was hoping to have at least a general sense between measurements how I was doing. It was disappointing to see new feature was a "study" and not even compatible with my rather recent note 8 phone.
I had every intention of returning, but found mysf growing attached to my new watch, I like the fitness tracking and prefer its focus on active minutes and avoiding sedentary behavior. I have been more motivated to work out, which is a plus. I also like the reliable connection to my phone and music playback - previous tracker often missed notifications or incoming calls for no apparent reason. Would really like to see a podcast app and am still hoping...
I'm still sad to leave all my previous fitness info behind along with my step counting friends - but do enjoy the experience of this watch and would recommend (with eyes wide open not to expect bp) given the quality and lower pricepoint.

A step up from fit pro 2
MandaC
3/28/2019
I have had this watch for a few weeks. I upgraded from the gear fit pro 2 and I am glad I did. The display is beautiful and I like that i can compose texts from my watch or even use voice to text. It is very easy to use.
My only complaint is the heart rate monitor doesn't properly measure while exercising sometimes. The gear fit pro 2 also had this problem. I am guessing it has trouble reading while I am moving or from perspiration blocking the sensor.

Awesome Watch

I really like this watch! I have been waiting for a while for Samsung to make a watch that would look awesome on a woman's wrist. It is lightweight, and the strap feels soft and subtle. I bought the rose gold and it just looks beautiful and the screen is AWESOME! I love the fact that it tracks your minutes, hours, calories and more. You can even add more shortcuts such as running, heart rate, stress, etc. It gives you notifications of your email, text, and more. There is an app section where you can see all the apps that are already installed. You can go to the galaxy store and download more apps if you chose to do so. This watch allows you to add more watch faces too. You can also sleep with it on, so that it can monitor your sleep pattern. I like the fact that it can tell you what your blood pressure and blood glucose level is. You can also set the watch to "always stay on". It does not look big on my wrist even though it is 40mm. The roundness of the watch makes it look smaller than the Fitbit Versa watch I had. It has a weather, and calendar widget. I also added a calculator. You can add more widgets. The battery was at 66% at about 6 pm in the evening when I got home. So, I am guessing that it will last for two days. This watch has so many options, features and many add-ons. Unbelievable!!
