Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 - User Reviews

  • Got one and handed it back continuous heart rate was way off by 25 beats and in 100% charge had only a 1day 18 hour battery life on the app and that's after taking off the always on display brightness down to 5 and disabling various apps..

  • I am wearing an Active 2 (non-LTE version) as I type and I can confirm that it also can take incoming/outcoming calls through its speaker, as long as it is connected to the phone.

  • Best overall Android smartwatch so far, however people tend to miss some HUGE fails of this product: 1. Virtually no storage space for user content. Considering that the OS takes more than half of it's 4GB storage really it not much left, except maybe for a dozen lowQ mp3s. Series 5 has 32GB. 2. Form factor. Round might be sleek, but is it smart? For mecanical watches is natural, but for smartwatches is it? All digital content is square, and surprisigly a quare form factor fits about 30% more screen. Again Series 5 44mm model is 1.78'' while Active 2 44mm is 1.4''. 3. Not having a compass. I suppose when driving one uses it's phone, and driving speed is high enough to detect direction from positioning, but when walking or hiking you'll want to use your watch, and if it gas GPS, with a map. At walking speed without a compass you won't see where you are headed. Fail. Again, learn from Series 5.

  • go for active, it has incoming and oitgoing calls

  • go for 44

  • I think he/she refers to the on-screen bezels, which admittedly are thick compared to similar watches like Ticwatch, and not the thickness of the case.

  • For men with medium size wrist which one is better, 44mm or 40 mm ?

  • Divide the 1.6" screen by the ‪1.732283‬" body and you get 80%.

  • I assume the listed screen-to-body ratio is incorrect? It doesn't make sense that it could be only 32.7% being among the slimmest bezels I've seen on recent smartwatches.

  • The same. If you have Iphone buy Apple watch. If you have Android buy Galaxy Watch Active 2 .

  • Nothing better than apple

  • Can u plz guide me which one is best Apple watch 5 / samsung watch active 2. Wifi version/LTE version

  • Also Apple watch is twice the price of this

  • Apple watch has 10.7mm thickness, this one has 10.9mm, you couldn't even notice something as small as that [the difference is 0.2mm]. Also not to mention the Apple watch is heavier than the Active2.

  • Can I use it as a mobile phone?

  • Why the mega-bezels? Like with phones now; make them non-existent. More memory needed (think Apple with 16GB onboard), maybe 32GB or more. They are way too thick too; think coins or target 7mm or so, not 10mm+

  • Reduce the bezels to (almost) zero, thin it up, think "coins". Add lots more memory (think Apple watch), hold the price and then maybe, just maybe you start to have a competitive product in that segment.

  • It is practical while you driving tho.

  • I might say yes to answer the phone call on the watch via Bluetooth headset but not to talk on the watch loud speaker. Talking on the watch loud speaker is not advisable, you will have no privacy.

  • Ok let's say you can do that, how can you hear the caller with the noises around you? In quiet places you can hear the caller but other people can hear your conversation as well or it might disturb other people around you. So it is not practical.

  • Galaxy watch active cannot answer phone call and talk over watch so I think if active 2 has that feature its worth to upgrade

  • i think that you can only say whats best for you.I dont think the touch sensitive bezel is really the reason to go for this watch instead of the active.You should see if you care more for the other extra features like the speaker for calls,ECG ,screen size or if you care for the LTE version

  • How do you figure out the Tech specs of this watch so quickly!

  • I'm not sure whether I should get the Active or Active2... will the rotating bezel on the Active2 be worth it, or should I just get the Active because it's cheaper?

  • amazfit gtr

  • Esim eSIM EsIm eSiM Samsung , you dont have to follow Apple all the time ... we demand nano sim Version Esim does not exist worldwide

  • Is it better than Huawei GT or which one is better to buy tight noe under 20k in android smartwatches...

  • expected in 5 aug

  • Well, you see, this is the active version, the active 2 compared to the active 1 has upgrades, 2 sizes, larger screen, a digital bezel, lte, ecg, microphone, speakers and its light weight. Series 4 and 3 are literally identical.

  • Doesn't seem to be very many differences between this and the older model. Should I get this model or get the older one? Prices?

  • WHY aren't these (so called) smartwatches getting better over time?! They are not. The memory and capability remains largely unchanged? WTF is with that? Look to Apple watch which has much higher specs and makes sense with improvements. This is just crazy!!

  • it's not rumoured release, samsung officialy noticed it for 5th august...

  • And that's just your opinion. Perhaps add facts to why you say that?

  • I'm not sure how the rumored release already happened, and is 4 months before the expected announcement, but I'm sure something here isn't quite right...

  • Looks nice but apple watch is better plus its interface is the best

  • after looking at the beautiful apple watch i gave my dad, I'm here on the android ship crossing my fingers for this to be as perfect as the apple watch
