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.

Purchased from 'ONLY BRANDED', the device was released in Romania, and as a result lacks Samsung Pay, the only reason I upgraded from my gear S2! The device itself is stunning, but do not buy from this seller as you'll be disappointed if you're seeking all the features.

I brought this as soon as it came out. Just months later the screen was cracked while I was swimming without me feeling any impact. Cost to fix the screen Almost $300. I expected more from a sports watch and better service from Samsung in terms of seeing this right.

Fitness trackers and smartwatches can be seen almost everywhere you look these days. Samsung has a few different variations and it's been a couple of years since I last reviewed one of their offerings .

Stylish, affordable and feature-packed, the Galaxy Watch Active is arguably Samsung's best smartwatch to date, but it still falls down on app availability

Comfortable; stylish design; Great feature set (particularly if you're a Samsung user); Good value; Easy to use

App selection still lacking; Battery life could be better; Bixby needs work

Considering you can now pick up the Galaxy Watch Active for under £200 with a bit of shopping around, it does represent a decent saving on its bigger brother - if you can do without the bezel navigation and don't mind the day or so shorter battery life, of course. Otherwise, its feature-set is almost identical making it excellent value for money for Samsung users, who will benefit most from its full functionality. Its Tizen operating system still means there are drawbacks when it comes to app availability, but it is getting better, and most of the major players when it comes to fitness are covered, at least. The Fitbit Versa represents compelling competition at around the same price, offering better battery life and a larger screen, but loses out with only connected GPS and patchy HR tracking. It doesn't look as swish either, so it's all about balancing out what matters most to you. For a good balance of style, performance and price, the Galaxy Watch Active has to be one of Samsung's best smartwatches yet.

In some ways, the new Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active is the company’s most radical smartwatch in quite a while. In others, it feels like one of their safest bets yet. Yet, in the moments when it all comes together, the Galaxy Watch Active feels like the smartwatch I’ve been wanting Samsung to make for years now.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active does more with less but, at the end of the day, you’re still left with less.

Great aesthetics; Cheaper price-point;

Battery life; No rotating bezel;

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...

The Galaxy Watch Active is a cheaper, slimmer smartwatch with GPS and full waterproofing. It's still best when used with a Samsung phone though. Here's our full review
