Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought the 40mm silver cloud Samsung Watch Active 2 from Best Buy because Amazon was out of stock. I bought this watch to replace my fitbit charge 2. Here are the pros: A gorgeous watch, overall Very comfortable to wear Vibrant, colorful screen Very responsive Quick syncing of settings and apps Several options for watch faces (more available on the Samsung store app) Here are the cons: The distance tracking was inaccurate and didn't match up with the step measurements. I walked exactly 1 mile on my treadmill and this watch showed 1.51 miles. It is not possible to adjust your stride length to correct this. The calorie calculations are way off (under) as well. Apparently Samsung doesn't use your heart rate to calculate the calories burned - it uses your height, weight, age, and step count. The continuous heart rate monitoring was inconsistent. The battery life is disappointing - it used 60% of the battery in 9 hours. I only had my calender and the heart rate monitoring enabled. The brightness was set to 50%.
