SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch Active 2 (40mm, GPS, Bluetooth) Smart Watch with Advanced Health Monitoring, Fitness Tracking, and Long lasting Battery, Silver (US Version)

I absolutely love this watch. I was hesitant to buy it because I was looking for a watch to accurately track my steps and workout routines. I have had no issues with it tracking my steps accurately as I have a tracker on my phone to see if they would match and they did within a few steps of each other. I walk and run outside and on the treadmill and it is important to know how I am doing. I am SUPER happy with this part of the watch. I love the detail it provides me on my workouts, sleep and heart rate. It works wonderfully with my S8+ and had little trouble connecting it. I waited to write my review because there were some reviews that mentioned they were unhappy with it fitness tracking and I have found it to be very accurate. The only thing I don't like is the battery life is not great. If I wear it at night to track sleep it is dead in the morning, so I don't. Also I begin using it at about 6am in the morning, get my kids out the door for school and exercise for 30 minutes before getting myself ready for work. So in two hours the battery goes from 100 to 92 and if I do a strength workout that particular day it goes to 87 so I have to put it on the charger while I am showering, etc. so that it gets back to 100%. By the end of the day (9:30 - 10pm) the battery is in the range of 15 to 42%. No way I could wear it for sleep tracking. If anyone knows of some setting that I may need to turn off/on to make it last longer I'd appreciate some feedback. Other than that I am in love with the watch. A definite buy!

I love this watch! After reading about the smart watch for a long time, and having upgraded my SAMSUNG phone- I made the purchase with confidence. The watch is practical, helpful, entertaining, motivating, comfortable, and fun. Features like, find my phone, mindful breathing, sleep data, water drinking tracker, and daily steps are things I use daily . The fact that I can answer my watch and talk on the watch is just the coolest thing ever! Lots of free widgets and features. I find the charge lasts a long time, over a day. I bought an extra charger to keep with me in case I am at work or away from home when my battery is low. That has come in handy. I got the smaller size and wonder if the larger one would be better? As my eyes age, the larger screen might be easier to read. But, I do like the looks of the smaller watch for my wrist size.

I've had a lower-priced smartwatch and wanted one with more features, so I got the Galaxy Active2 for Christmas. There are more watch faces, the ability to have photos, the memory installed and the fitness functions are all I could hope for. The watch is waterproof if you turn on that function. My one complaint is the battery life, which I knew about when I got it. Working in lockdown, it's no problem to recharge in the middle of the day - or once I get back to the office I can have an extra charger at my desk - just annoying to have to recharge every two days. I turned off some of the apps to save the battery life, such as always on display and some of the faces.I particularly like the watch telling me my phone is ringing and the ability to answer if I'm within range - the watch can be on desk while I'm the kitchen and I can answer the call, or it can be in my purse.The ECG function is another plus, as is the sleep tracking, and counting steps.I recommend this smart watch.

I got this to monitor my heart rate throughout the day after the doctor said I have chronic tachycardia. It's also super useful for a bunch of other things and was easy to pair with my phone. My one big complaint is that the product guide and instructions are awful. They don't walk you through anything, which can be distressing and confusing if this is your first ever smart watch. However, the product itself is really great once you figure it out, so I'm not taking away any stars.I got the cloud gray watch, which I expected to be more of a pale blue based on Amazon photos, but it really is just like a cool gray in person. I have a very small wrist and it fits me well at the 2nd tightest loop.The watch works very well for me and pairs effortlessly with my Galaxy Note 10. I currently use the pixel heart wallpaper so I can monitor the time and my heart rate constantly. My only wish is that wallpapers were more customizable, because I really want a simple wallpaper that displays the date, time, and my heart rate so I don't have to flip between widgets. I'm not a big fan of how the watch likes to remind me to move every hour... When I have online class, I don't have the option to move often, and I don't know how to turn those startling notifications off.Lastly, I don't know if I would recommend Amazon's delivery service for an expensive product like this watch. The driver didn't follow my delivery instructions!! My packages often get stolen if left out in the mail room (which does not lock and has a glass door and no security cameras, so anyone from the street can take packages), so I always request drivers to put the box in the mailbox or in front of my apartment door (which is only around 10 steps away max). They left out out of the mailbox for anyone to be able to see and take, and didn't even take a photo to confirm it had been delivered. This product cost me nearly $300 and they did that, but when I order any other cheap package, they follow my instructions to a T and always take a photo to confirm delivery!! It's ridiculous. It's probably better to pick this up in person at a store if you are worried about package security. I'm just glad I was home to pick it up immediately after it was delivered.
