When Samsung announced the Galaxy Watch Active smartwatch at its Unpacked Event a few weeks ago, I was cautiously optimistic. Sure, it did away with the company's signature rotating bezel, but otherwise, it was sleek, had all the right specs, and honestly, Samsung has consistently put out some of...

Gorgeous design; Lightweight; Good price

Mixed accuracy; RIP rotating bezel

Smartwatches may no longer have to be expensive to be good. Case in point: the Galaxy Watch Active . Pitched as a lower cost version of last year's Galaxy Watch , Samsung has boiled that flagship smartwatch down to its essentials.

The Galaxy Watch Active ( $200 at Amazon ) is the sportier, slimmer sibling of Samsung's flagship Galaxy Watch ( $266 at Amazon ) from 2018. It's a lighter version of the watch in every sense of the word, with a noticeably thinner body and a slightly smaller screen that comes in only one size with...

The Galaxy Watch Active's lightweight and simple design make it better for working out and wearing to bed than previous models; It packs in health and fitness features at a lower price than its competitors and works on both Android and iOS

It's missing the rotating bezel we loved on previous Samsung watches and comes in only one size with no LTE option; The blood-pressure monitoring is half baked at best; Samsung's Health app doesn't make it easy to locate all your data

First off I quite like the watch for its smart watch capabilities. That being said, one of the main reasons i purchased it was for its sleep tracking and Unfortunately this does not seem to be working as well as expected.

He absolutely loves his watch. He wears it everyday. Thank you Bing Lee

Initially I was pleased with us birthday investment but in subsequent weeks have found it disappointing due to the small touch screen being difficult to operate the complex menus with old fingers. Unable to get watch on all the time which I want. Sync is unpredictable with Huawei P20 phone.

So I'm going with a 3/5 for this not for the device (which is a solid 5/5) but the fact that I assumed I was getting a Canadian version since I bought it on Amazon.ca. However I recieved an international version. How does this matter you may ask, Well for most things it doesn't.

The device is very easy to configure and pair with my partner's Samsung phone, and she is loving it. :)

Got this watch in April, used in in the sea and it stopped working, samsung wants to charge ￡269 to fix it, more than a new one!!!! They said you can only use it in freshwater which it does not say this anywhere. Was used in a pool ands no problems. Do not buy this if you want to dip it in water.

I wanted to upgrade my old watch because I had it for some years and it wasn't working that good anymore.So I got this one and I am very happy to have gotten it.I like that I can snooze my alarm in the morning without having to search for my phone.It keeps me motivated and if I'm not active it tells...
