Samsung Galaxy Watch Active (40mm) (Silver) (Renewed)

The watch by itself is amazing. I'm here to review the fact that it is a refurbished/renewed electronic. It was delivered super fast, it came in its original box, all accessories came in the box and were original (or at least that's what they looked like), looked and felt brand new, even came with protective plastic peel-off stickers. So far the unboxing experience was intact. Now the important thing; the watch. The only negative I could find is that it did not come with the peel-off stickers (but that's expected). Apart from that, it was in perfect shape. Mint condition. No scratches, bumps, dust, not a single sign of wear. Aesthetics 10/10. And after a few days of use I can confidently say the same for the internals, battery runs as advertised and all functionalities work just fine. I love it, it's an amazing extension for my phone (an iPhone) and a great fitness tracker. Gives me all notifications I need, helps me stay active (hence the name), looks modern and stylish... it is great. If you were hesitant to buy it, this is your call to do it. Even if it is a refurb to save a few bucks. You will love it too.

I got this watch as a BDay gift. What was really attractive to me at the beginning was that the main screen displayed all the parameters I wanted to have at a glance: time, date, temperature, battery percent and steps. FUNCTIONALITY - It took me a very short time to learn how to use its health features: steps, calories burnt, heart beat, stress level, workouts, etc. I also have an option to connect with a community of people who use this watch to track their activity habits and get motivated from each other but I have not used it yet. FEATURES - One feature that is especially useful is the sleeping pattern measurement. It shows the time of light sleep, REM and deep sleep and it gave me the insight needed to improve my sleeping habits. I also love the steps and burnt calorie feature, which together with the food calorie count plus the water and caffeine count is very helpful for my weight loss plan. AESTHETICS - the watch is elegant for a hi-tech gadget. The copper surround of the black dial is slick, while the wrist bend ( a very pale salmon pink color) is extra soft and looks almost white under bright sun light. I would highly recommend this watch because it is functional, its features are very motivating for a healthy lifestyle and it is pretty.

battery life on my watch is awful! it also came scratched (not as big a deal as the battery tho). Overall its a lack luster watch with poor battery life and it seems like there is a bunch of loopholes to not give you money back. The app for the watch is great, but its not very useful if the battery doesn't last at all. I use it basically to count steps (no spotify or texting) for the past two days and it doesn't even last the day. bought with amazon prime and wanted to return it. you have to PAY for shipping it back (despite the prime) and they say the following down below. Im very unsatisfied with my purchase and feel unsure that my return will actually be honored. 1/10 would not buy this used, maybe battery life is better in a new watch We will NOT BE LIABLE if your item gets damaged during transit.

As far as battery life, I can't really answer that. I bought this for my son, and I have them turn in all their electronics at night, so the watch gets charged every other night. It is usually reading below 30% on the battery. I don't know how long that 30% would last, and during the day, the watch is almost always going off because of snap chat. I don't think the use of a smart watch battery on a 13 year old, would be the same as an adult. Easy to use, easy to set up, and a really great accessory for anyone but especially for a child. No longer are my texts being ignored or not seen. It's great for when they are at school and you just need to leave them a note like "you forgot your keys, they are ..... so you aren't locked out in 10 degree weather" and such. Great seller, delivery on time, and was everything that was expected.

This is my first smartwatch, and I'm not disappointed. For the price, I am pleased with the Galaxy Active, and I'm impressed with the capabilities of the device. It was easy to pair with my Galaxy 9 phone, and it's easy to share content between the two. I bought this watch refurbished - I've had good results with Amazon's Certified Refurbished products before, so, for $90, I was willing to give it a go. The watch arrived in a plain generic box, but was securely packaged and in excellent shape. The watch, charger, and strap were in absolute mint condition: no scratches, no marks. nothing. It charged up quickly and easily, and functioned just as it should. The only observation I will make (and the reason for the one-star deduction) is that two sizes of straps were supposed to be included, and only one was present. I got the small one and I really should be using the slightly larger one. This one barely fits my wrist. However, that's not a huge issue and it doesn't impact the functionality of the watch itself. All things considered, if you're looking for a good smartwatch at a good price, you've found it!

I was scared to order a refurbished watch. But I am so pleased. I had to replace a Galaxy Active 2 that I had worn daily for about 2 years. The "downgrade" didn't affect me in the least as the few features that the 2 has were ones I did not use. The condition of this refurbished watch is nearly perfect. And the battery is better than what was left on my 2, before it died. I use always on display, and it still lasts all day. My 2 was alerting me of a low battery after about 13-14 hours, which is not terrible given how hard I used it. But I totally expected the same or worse performance from this refurbished product and was pleasantly surprised! It was absolutely worth the money.

To be honest, this watch is just okay. I was expecting a lot more from the Galaxy line. The battery life is terrible. It only holds a charge for about 36 hours before I have to put it in battery saver mode. Once in battery saver mode all you can do with the watch is see the time which makes it pretty much useless. It also does not accurately read heart rate unless on a very specific spot on the wrist. Also, the step counter is very finicky and doesn't accurately record steps unless swinging your arm in a specific way. Before this watch I had an Amazon watch which cost $30 and was just as accurate with a 7 day battery life. Did it have all the cool watch faces, no but it functioned just as well if not better for much less expensive. Not very happy with my purchase to say the least.

Working great!
