Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 (44mm), Aqua Black, US Version (Renewed)

I got this nice simple smart watch at Amazon Renewed for half the cost of a new one. It was like new and I had no idea how much it tells you if you link it with your Samsung phone. I just bought it to keep track of my walking but then I found it was keeping track of where I was, the temperature, the stress levels, my heartbeat. It also has a great charger included that does not have to be plugged into it. It snaps and sits on my nighstand. It also has many watchfaces to choose from and bold number and can be adjusted to see at night and from pretty fair away. it also speaks the time, which can be turned off. it does a lot more than I expected. I was going to get a fitbit, but its uses are limited. and it was more expensive

The sleep tracker is deadly accurate it's sleek and quality. Much cheaper than new and with refurbished you get 2 yr warranty through Amazon which if you look into it, it's better than the warranty if you buy new from manufacturer. 2 negatives, battery only lasts about 14-16 hrs and the rubber strap pulls my wrist hair however I do wear my watches with the face on the inside of my wrist.

I bought this for my daughter, when we opened it it looked fine, no damage. When we tried to set it up the touch screen would not work. It would only register one out of every like 6 times you touched the screen. She left it on the charger overnight to see if it just needed to charge and it is completely dead. It does not hold a charge either. Not worth the headache.

I finally understand why Samsung is the leader. This watch is outstanding when I sync it with my S20 FE. The sleep tracting is beyond accurate, the 4 measured levels are spot on. It shows the right time that I normally get up in the middle of the night for my relief run. Blood pressure is within 2 points of my arm cuff monitor.That said, the battery life is NOT 3 days like the advertisement says. The most of gotten the week I've owned it has been 30 hours with moderate use, 13% remaining. I've been changing settings to extend that and will update if I find the right combination.Finally, this is a renewed purchase and was sent in great shape. I've never liked the pleather watch bands and the one that came with it are typical. This watch checked 99% of my checklist for a great wearable. And Samsung pay app worked instantly. Contactless pay without having to take out your phone is a great thing these days.Update 2/2/21 : After 24 hour period I'm at 55%! Battery settings to extend time between charging; 1. Turn off watch always on (set screen time out to 10 seconds), 2. Turn off Wi-Fi, 3. Turn down brightness to at least 7, 4. Turn off sound to vibrate, 5. Power mode is standard, 6. Turn off location (you can turn it back on if you use the exercise mode for tracking), 7. Lastly you can turn on the volume for specific notifications, ie. ringtone, media, system etc. I have them all turned off but you can still get vibration notifications for all of them.These settings should get me to that magical 3 day mark. One last recommendation, turn on the wake up gesture feature and by flicking your wrest you can wake up and turn off the watch screen. The setting can be found in the wearable app under advanced settings. This is a really great feature if you driving, allows you to keep one hand on the wheel!!!

I bought this mainly to track runs and because it was the one option that has Tidal integration. I was hoping to be able to download my running playlist and leave my phone behind.Alas, the Tidal integration is terrible. In fact, it doesn't really work at all - constant crashes, extreme lags in responding to commands, if at all, and seems to occupy enough RAM as to stop all other functions (like fitness tracking). So that main feature I was looking for was a bust, but from what I can tell, that's largely on Tidal and not the watch. Once Spotify releases Hi-Fi, this should all be resolved.Beyond that, the watch is pretty great. Battery life is good, usually lasting about 3 days between charges if worn (though I keep it on silent with minimal notifications getting passed from the phone). I appreciate the heart rate and sleep tracking, though it tends to think you're sleeping pretty much the whole time you're in bed, even if awake watching TV or something.The refurbished unit seems to work great. I don't know what the battery would be on a new one, but I have no complaints about the performance here. Other than that open-ended question, it appears as-new.

My apologies for taking so long to write this review, part of the reason be I wanted to thoroughly test it out, and the other is just life!This watch is all that I thought it would be and more. It arrived looking brand new, with charger and instructions! It has given me no reminder that it is renewed, and I often forget. The battery life is excellent, it's light and easy to wear. The health trackers and all the other apps work great on it after pairing it with my Note 9 and using the Samsung Wear app. And the best part was shocking my daughter when I made a phone call to her from my watch!! We were both amazed at the sound and quality! I've since also ordered dial covers/bumpers/protectors because I'm clumsy and also refused to wear a watch before this one! Also different stylish bands as well. It's so versatile!I could gush on all day about it but will stop here by saying this is the best Mother's Day gift I've ever treated myself too! Thank you very much for a great product, that was in brand new like condition!

I like the watch and it does what I expected it to do. I bought it as a rebuilt product and so I am not certain whether the watch band was what was intended. It came with a band that required me to tuck the end below the other side, making it inconvenient to attach but also unlikely to snag on other items. I bought an aftermarket band and like it with it and it looks more attractive. I can wear it at night and track sleep habits, too. Through it, I can communicate with my trainer at all times.

It is perfect forc what I needed. I love the fitness aspect. Having text right there has been super convenient too.
