SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch Active 2 (44mm, GPS, Bluetooth) Smart Watch with Advanced Health Monitoring, Fitness Tracking, and Long lasting Battery, Silver (US Version)

my wife loves it

Great options to customize the watchface and so many great functions and apps. Easy to learn to use it. I'm finding it a great addition to my electronic treasures. Use it every day to record exercise and heartrate and for phone calls, etc., when I'm out of the house. So many helpful functions I haven't even tried yet. I like the accompanying Galaxy app that links my Samsung Galaxy 8+ phone to the watch. By changing the watch wake-up to tapping instead of when I move the watch toward my face, the battery charge is lasting longer too. This watch is well worth the money and, for me anyway, totally lives up to all the hype.

I been in the club smartwatch for a long time and has always look for watches that combine style with functionality, and this perhaps the best one in the market. I love all all the fitness tracking integrated into the watch and the bevy of options in the app. I also love low key stylish is, I bought multiple straps to take advantage of the classic look. Battery life is impressive with being able to last up to 2 full days after full charge, although I'm sure that if you change the modes you might be able to get up to a week of battery life. I'm really love this watch and you can buy with confidence knowing that this is one of the best pieces of technology in the market.

I have commitment issues when it comes to making certain purchases online. I prefer those places, stores I think they were called, when I could go in person, check out the size, test it, feel it, to figure out the right purchase for me. After spending a ridiculous amount of time researching and debating with myself, is this the right watch, is this size going to be too big, etc., I finally purchased this watch and I'm so glad I did! I have a Note 8 phone. Great phone, but the battery is losing life and I have to charge it several times a day. I know the easy fix is to spend $1000 plus and buy a new phone, but frankly, why? This phone doesn't have a scratch on it and does everything I need (except the obvious problem of holding a charge). So I finally broke down and bought this watch as a way to ease some of the strain on my phone battery. It's been a great solution so far. It's paired perfectly with my phone. I'm able to answer and make phone calls on it, and read and do basic responses to emails, texts and what's app chats. It does occassionally become unpaired from my phone in the house if the watch and phone are too far apart, but the watch simply switches over to my home wifi network so I don't lose any capabilities with it. Not a problem for me. I have not gotten it wet because I'm not interested in potentially buying a new watch due to water damage based in all the reviews I've read. The battery has been just fine for me, it is usually at 65% or so after 14 hours of pretty heavy use, but in all fairness, I don't have the heart rate monitor constantly running (but I do have the watch face set to always on). I'm tall, 6'1", but with pretty tiny wrists (not much bigger than my 4 year old daughter's) and the 44 mm is perfect. Had I gone with the smaller size, it would have been too small for me. The phone battery is lasting longer because I don't have to keep checking it for every work email and this watch has been great. Gotta say, I kinda like also that I can swap out wristbands really easily to change the look of the watch.

I used this watch regularly for about 2 months, and found it to be a great all-around watch for the price and the features that you get. The strengths of the Active Watch 2 lie in its style and its ability to perform as a smartwatch, with decent activity tracking features to round it out. There are definitely some improvements to be made, and if you're looking for a dedicated fitness watch with all the bells and whistles, you should probably look elsewhere. With that being said, this watch does a wonderful job of giving you everything that you need, and perhaps even some things that you didn't think you needed, in a stylish package.I will end up having to return this watch because despite all of my many efforts, I kept getting a pervasive rash where the metal met my skin. I made sure to clean the watch and my wrist daily and kept the watch as dry as possible; I also tried nearly every tightness of the band, but no matter how tight or loose I kept it, the rash continued. Looking online, this appears to be a problem that isn't singular, which is unfortunate. Were this not an issue, I would make this watch my primary smartwatch.My short breakdown of this watch is as follows:Pros:The best looking watch I've found to datePlethora of smartwatch features that are customizableBuilt-in GPS and music storage is keyDecent fitness trackingCons:Sleep tracking needs a LOT of workManually fixing workout readings can become annoyingCan cause a serious rash for those with sensitive skin or metal allergiesECG reader still not released (and lack of some health tracking features found on other watches)Here are my thoughts on the main aspects of this watch after 2 months of nearly daily use:Build and Smartwatch Features:This is where the Active Watch 2 really shines. It has a huge amount of features that you can tailor to your needs, and the design of both the watch and the software it uses is beautiful. You can wear this watch with just about anything and it will always look good. The bands are very easy to change out, and Amazon sells quite a few watch face covers if you want to change the color of the watch itself to better match the bands (they often also double as a scratch-resistant cover, which is great). Samsung really did a great job with just how pretty and vibrant the screen is on the Active 2, and there are so many watch faces that you'll never get bored looking at it or tailoring it to your outfit. The bezel around the screen isn't intrusive at all like on some other watches, and the watch itself feels very nice and sturdy. I love the scroll bezel as it makes everything much easier and much quicker to find when you have as many different pages as I do. It has a number of different notifications that it registers, and it's very easy to respond from your watch if you don't want to bother taking your phone out; you can set a number of unique quick responses too, or ask Bixby to respond for you (works best with texts). Also, even though the app store isn't the most expansive, it does have a few very cool 3rd party apps. Taking calls from the watch isn't the most graceful experience, but it works in a pinch if you can't reach your phone. The built-in music storage is something I have never had before in a watch, and I didn't know I needed it until now. Being able to download Spotify playlists and not have to worry about having to lug my phone with me on runs or even just doing chores around the house was so nice, and the built-in GPS meant it would still record the length of my runs.Health and Fitness Tracking:I was fairly pleased overall with the fitness tracking features of this watch. The heart-rate monitor appears to be very accurate, with the step counter and altimeter being more or less accurate as well (with the altimeter being the far less accurate of those two). The burned calorie tracking seemed to be a little on the high-end, but it was more or less on par with the readouts I was getting from my Garmin. While I didn't put too much stock into the stress feature (wasn't entirely sure how accurate it is), the breathing exercises were neat and I enjoyed doing them as a way to start my day and wind down for the night. One of the biggest hit-or-miss things I've found working out with this watch is that it can take a lot of manual input to make sure the readings are accurate. For any cardio-based workout, even something as simple as walking, it's much easier to manually input the start and finish of your activity if you want an accurate reading rather than relying on the auto-detection, which can be off by a few minutes. Additionally, if you do any workout that relies on counting reps, you're most likely going to need to make manual adjustments afterwards to input the correct number of reps you did. For some of the workouts, you have to have your wrist in a certain position for it to be read correctly, but it's honestly easier to manually adjust it than it is to do an extra 10 reps trying to get it to register your movements. One good thing about the Active 2 is that you can pre-program workouts so that you don't have to go in and try and scroll through all 39 of the other workouts for each new set of movements you're doing. Another is that the animations for the different workouts (especially yoga!) are smooth and easy to comprehend, which I appreciated greatly.Sleep Tracking:This was definitely the worst feature of the watch. I found it to be wildly inaccurate, especially because I suffer from insomnia and wake up several times throughout the night. My biggest gripes with this personally are that it registered me as falling asleep faster than in actuality, didn't register me as awake in the mornings if I woke up and remained in bed, and registered me as still being asleep when I would wake up throughout the night. I even kept a pen and pad next to the bed to quickly jot down the time when I would wake up, and it would take anywhere from 15 minutes up to an hour for me to fall back asleep - the watch counted all of that time as me having never woken up. I compared these readings to my older Garmin watch and found that the Garmin was far more accurate than the Active 2 (not as accurate as my FitBit, however). If you have a regular sleep schedule or don't care too much about the sleep tracking, you'll probably have a better experience with this feature than I did, but don't expect the sleep tracking on this watch to be the end-all, be-all.Battery Life:All reports of this watch getting roughly 2 days of batter life are pretty spot on. I would extend it beyond that by taking it off and cleaning/charging it when I would shower or if I was going to be doing something that I could potentially crack my watch during (like roller blading), which would usually net me another day or so before having to take it off and let it charge for ~2 hours. If you're someone who likes to use the always on display mode, you will definitely have to charge it more frequently. But even with as much tinkering and logging of manual workouts, or using the yoga workout which involves watching a lot of animations, my batter life always lasted at least a day and a half.

First one ordered was defective. Screen did not work. Was quickly returned and replaced. No issues with replacement. I love this watch, use it daily. I don't need the counters to be spot on so if it is or isn't idk. Seems like it keeps track ok but I've never had a watch or fitness tracker before. Would recommend. Would have got a new version of this watch if I could but this price point fit better and I'm not disappointed.

I have been using this watch for a week and I’m totally pleased. It’s light and comfortable to wear, easy to navigate its functions and aesthetically a stunner with numerous friends commenting on its attractiveness. I especially like the digital bezel as it’s easy to move between apps with the touch of a finger.It connects easily to a samsung phone and although it’s a US version it behaves like an Australian version. I find the steps taken plus the heart function to be accurate. I can make and receive phone calls on the watch but my phone needs to be within Bluetooth range. The watch delivers all my notifications for the apps I have selected and sends all my activity results to the Samsung Health app on my phone and every week I receive a summary of my achievements. This watch does well in all that I require of it and hence a good buy.

Got this for my wife for Christmas, and she absolutely loves the watch.

SUERTE

fue un regalo para mi madre que realmente no le saca provecho. El reloj se ve y se siente muy bien, buenos materiales. La pantalla es nítida y el dedo se desliza sensualmente. La batería le dura bastante (2 días aprox)Creo que lo único que me incomoda es que el cargador es justo del tamaño del reloj, y con mi pulso de maraquero no lograba ponerlo correctamente. Definitivamente me gusta más que el galaxy active 3 y recomiendo se pidan éste.Mi madre está muy contenta aunque solo lo use para ver la hora y contar sus pasos.

Mé encantó, el diseño está super cool, es muy intuitivo, fácil de usar, se sincroniza muy rápido a tu celular, también me gusto que sea la versión de Aluminio y plateado, ya que en México solo hay de acero y no existe ese color.El único detalle que no se me hace tan relevante es que no he podido anclar ninguna tarjeta al SamsungPay. Fuera de eso el reloj es genial.Venía con todos sus sellos, muy bien empacado y llegó en buen estado. 😄👍🏼
