i purchased my watch 3 months ago. i loved it at first but it started to die on my within 24 hours. i sent the watch bag for repairs and i received a notice the warranty was void. it was void due to liquid damage. interesting i thought this watch was water resistant. wore the watch in the shower and maybe once in the pool. never was submerged any longer than my fitbit that still works. samsung told me that they would repair it for $220. wow more than i can get a new one.

i bought my watch on samsung.com and received it on 8/22/2020. it has been a dream until 07/25/2020. it automatically tracked my activities, even swimming. then on 07/25/2020 it just stopped working. they say it is water damage, well duh i used it to track my swimming, something that the description says it will do. they are trying to charge me $155.87 to repair!!! this is ridiculous!! if you use it in the water and it gets dmaaged they will not honor the warranty. let me be clear that i love samsung until this!!

i'm extremely disappointed because the warranty has expired recently.

this watch is pretty cool. its pretty easy to navigate, its lightweight, and it looks good on your wrist. having offline spotify is something i've always wanted in a watch, so finding it in this watch was a plus. i'm a runner and so using strava on this watch while being able to listen to music is pretty cool. it helps a lot with training because it comes with a built in heart rate monitor. not to mention it has a built in gps so there's no need to carry a phone with you if you're also an athlete. all in all this watch is great and has a bunch of cool features. p.s. the battery live isnt half bad as long as you dont switch it on and off every 5 seconds.

I bought this watch December 2019 as a gift. Unfortunately, it has met the same fate of other Galaxy Watch Actives. The cover on the back of the watch for the sensor falls off and then the watch completely stops working. Clearly this is a problem as I've seen countless negative reviews and Samsung has yet to address this issue,it's simply poor construction.

This is my first smartwatch and I love it. It's super comfortable, plus I get a lot of compliments on how it looks. I love that it has GPS for my runs as well as Spotify. I also use it for my workouts and for the most part get the diagnostics that I need. Once or twice something didn't record properly. I mainly love that the watch can sync with my phone though, which was really important to me. I can send my stats over to Samsung Health on my phone, and I can control my phone with the watch as well. I'm a fitness professional so being able to control my phone was necessary. It's also fun to text people from your watch. I feel like Inspector Gadget.

I received this as a gift at christmas and it worked fine until about a month ago. It no longer maintains a charge past 5 hours. I cannot make it through a work day anymore with the watch working. Anyone else had this issue? What did you do to fix it? I started my day at 100% (7:30AM) it's now 12:30 and I'm at a 15% charge.

It's great... until you're sweating
Chilledfruit
11/27/2019
I was SUPER excited about this watch. I love all my Samsung gear and figured this watch would stand up to my expectations. It looks sleek, has lots of features, can be customized to your hearts' content, and it works perfectly... until I sweat. Now, I am not sure if it's my specific watch that has faulty sensors or the rose gold Active 1 that is faulty, but every time I work out and start to sweat, the activity tracker starts to stop, pause, and resume itself. As a result, I do not get even a remotely accurate depiction of my activity. I've tried changing wrists, changing the positioning of the watch (outside of wrist, inside of wrist, forearm, etc.) to see if that helped with the random glitches. I even tried to put "water tight mode" on, but no dice. I tried troubleshooting and my only options were mail it in for "repairs"(for an undetermined amount of time), drive 40 miles to a Best Buy or UBreakWeFix store, or deal with it. No option to send me a new one and send the old one back. I've never had this problem with any of my other fitness trackers and I am suddenly regretting not just getting another Fitbit. Bad form, Samsung.

I was really excited to get my smart active watch, I had a fitbit in the pass and is really similar to it but what I didn't like is the battery mines goes out quick and it doesn't last for days like the advertisement says that was a disappointment, the heart rate wasn't accurate and compare them with my other one I had and the screen brightness is jot great outdoors is a good watch but not as great as they advertised.

I purchased the watch for fitness purpose and being able to text and the other features are just an added bonus. I work for a cellular company and unfortunately we don't sell samsung wearables and I want to own a watch to work with my phone. Samsung girl for life...I like that the watch has a small face and that it fashionable. I know the feature that you can watch videos on the watch. I dont min99d that it does have the gear wheel but I love the swipe feature. Overall great watch for a beginner like me.

Not worth your money - not truly "swim ready"

I bought this watch in mid March from a Best buy in town. It worked well until I took it in the pool one time to do a lap swim. I was in the water for 20 minutes when the watch face started glitching and now the screen no longer works. I tried for a replacement and a refund, however Samsungs warranty does not cover water damage. Long story short, I wasted my money and now have a watch that is a waste of space. Do yourself a favor, don't waste your time or your money on this product.

Water damage after first time wearing it in the water! Warranty doesn't cover liquid damage so literally just threw away my money. Very disappointed that if I want my watch to work again I have to pay a additional 140 after i just purchased it in the midlles of March! Also can't return it to best buy because it's outside of the return policy. I believe it should be better quality or say that you shouldn't use in water. Customer service is no help whatsoever or their warranty.

I received the Galaxy Active 40mm in rose gold and love it. I've used other smartwatches and now I know what I was missing. I really like the petite style that goes from the gym to a night out seamlessly. The smaller band fit me just right and is not too snug. I've been wearing it for a few weeks now and have become very comfortable with the smart features on Galaxy Active watch. I really like all the different customizable screens that fit what is right for me and am not stuck with what order other smartwatches force you to have. With fifteen different screens available on top of your home and notification screen there are endless choices to fit every lifestyle. The Galaxy Active synced perfectly with my Samsung Note8 phone and keeps a great connection. I get all my notifications from my phone right on the watch and can choose what and if things are important enough to look at when I am a little too busy to grab my phone. Answering peoples texts from the watch has to be one of the best features. Workouts have become even better. From a zumba class at the gym to a 5 mile jog each one of my exercises are recorded with the heart rate sensor accurately logging my calories burned. I have noticed that I am getting more out of my workout than previously. Watch faces are endless and I have already ordered different band colors to change with my outfits. Battery life is okay for me, I do spend about 3-4 hours at the gym in the morning and it lasts till the evening but I do have to charge it about every night in order to make it through my gym time the next day. But on the weekends when I don't workout it lasts the entire two days. I don't mind since I now cannot imagine going without my new smartwatch. Having Samsung Smartthings integrated into the watch has been awesome. I can turn on my TV and start my powerbot with the watch, pretty great. Completely happy with the Galaxy Active Smartwatch.

No battery life, inaccurate activity monitor
Rachel Marie
5/31/2019
I bought this watch a month ago and having been using it daily- it requires a charge nearly every day with what I perceive as light use - 40 min of exercise, no other app use other than reading notifications, the heart rate/sleep/stress monitor is turned off and I only listen to music during exercise. I walk, run and bike - nothing too extreme. The distance is wildly off, calculating 1 mile of running at an actual 1.5 miles. The step count feature is also inaccurate but at least consistent in under counting my activity. It does play Spotify and the ability to download lists is a nice feature, but not one exclusive to this watch. It is smaller and sleek which I appreciate. If you are looking for a simple smart watch this may be for you, but if you intend to use it as an activity tracker I would advise you look else where.

I've had this for a couple weeks now and I'm still learning new things to do with it. The look is great and it's very comfortable. The biggest downside to this watch is that there is no speaker so everything has to go through the phone if you want music or calls. Next time they need to put a speaker in it.

I was excited about getting the Galaxy Active watch so I pre-ordered and it came in I had it for about 2 weeks and it was doing great I had no complaints besides not being able to work the phone call part of it. But as of a couple of weeks ago the battery doesn't last me more than 6 hours and then it's dead and I have to charge it. I have already sent it in to repair once I got it back and I wore it for a day and the battery was already down to about 40% by 7 p.m. I was told that the battery was supposed to last me 3 to 5 days and the problem will be resolved so far I've reached out twice and got no response very disappointed in the watch.

I absolutely LOVE this watch!! I Pre- ordered it & have worn it for almost 2 weeks now! Not only is it beautiful (I have the rose gold one) it is small & light on my wrist I hardly know it's there! I had the ginormous Gear 3 Fronteir that just looked ridiculous on my tiny wrist, while I thoroughly enjoyed all of its features it was just not lady like! This new watch is so lovely with all the same features yet somehow seem even more dialed in and accurate than the Fronteir! I charge mine everyday but that's just me never wanting to be stranded without it. I'm so very happy I made this purchase and am grateful that it's not only beautiful but was affordable as well!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Samsung!!

I bought this for my wife, she loves it. It seems pretty user freindly, as I have not had to fuss with syncing, or adjusting it for her:). The only negative is some wasted, excessive bezel space, and slightly short battery life. Still, it can get 36 hrs, and it's round! Now, how to flatten it AND increase battery life...!

Finally in love with a smart watch. I've gone through several different smart watches both Samsung and Android Wear and this is the first one I'm completely happy with. The size and fit is great. I like that it doesn't have huge chunky bezels, the smooth curved glass and casing are excellent. This thing is super sleek and looks very sharp but also super slim and light so it's great during your workouts (it's almost too pretty to take to the gym!). Tracking is good, I like the constant heart rate monitoring, the night mode that stops it from buzzing on my wrist while I am sleeping, the screen looks gorgeous. Longer battery life would make this even better but currently it's still pretty good. I get a little under two days but I just throw it on the charger when I get in the shower or for an hour before bed and it's never an issue. Notifications work great and even though it doesn't have dedicated apps for some of the more popular messaging services out there you can still respond right from the watch once you get a message. Honestly best watch I've had and for the money you can't beat it!

Okay, so I am only a week in, but here's what I've noticed...
Short battery life - Within 24 hours, I am at 15 %
Charging takes a long time - I received the wireless fast charger, and still takes awhile to fully charge. Charging time is no different than the charger that came with the watch.
Otherwise, it's pretty cool. I have had the Fitbit Surge and Charge 2 for a few years, so I am used to longer battery life. For the price, it's a good deal, I paid $229 for my Surge, and it did not have as many features. I love the size and different faces that can be downloaded as well.

I am very happy with the watch overall. I hate watches, and jewelry of any kind. However, when I wear the watch I don't even realize I have it on. I like that it reminds you to move around, if you've been sitting for an hour. I love being able to respond to texts via the watch using voice to text.
The one thing that would make this watch perfect is being able to answer calls. I thought I could and answered an incoming call through my watch, only to have to race to the phone to actually be able to talk to person.
