If you want a smart watch for notifications and NFC payment Its not a bad watch, however as a fitness watch it's nothing short of terrible! The step count is way off (it only seems to count after around 20 steps) as it doesn't count ALL your steps, the heart rate function seems ok but the counting...

I love everything about although am still learning to use it. It's really good at work, as I don't keep my phone on me I can see when a message comes or answer a phone call if it's important, the first time I did this I felt like Sick Tracey.

It looks good on the wrist and the functions have improved a lot from its predecessor

i was about to buy the galaxy watch but after buying active watch 2 i think i made a right decision .. touch bezel on active 2 is just amazing and the 8 photosensors can beat the watch in the game

I pre-Ordered and purchased this watch alongside the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. I changed phone ecosystems as the Note 10 Plus was everything I wanted at a better price. The watch falls very short of my expectations.

If you’ve been waiting for Samsung to deliver a wearable that’s on the same level as Apple’s hardware, the Galaxy Watch Active is probably the device you’ve been waiting for.

The Galaxy Watch Active is imminently capable, supremely polished and mature in a way that most other smartwatches aren’t.

Great design; Digital bezel; Decent battery life;

Few third-party apps; NFC connectivity could be more open;

If you’re looking for a round smartwatch that does fitness and core smartwatch features well in equal measures, the second-gen Active is one smartwatch worth checking out.

Familiar sporty look with two size options, Comfortable to wear day and night, Touch bezel works well, Easy-to-use software, Decent fitness-tracking features

Software a bit clunky for sports tracking, ECG and Fall Detection not available yet, Battery life only slightly improved, Underwhelming app support remains, LTE model bumps up the price

The trouble with releasing a follow-up device so soon after the first is there may not be too much to shout about

Looks great, Digital bezel works well, Fantastic screen

Battery life could be better, Samsung Health isn’t great, Some menu items are hard to find

A year after release, there's a lot to like about the Galaxy Watch Active 2 especially now that ECG is finally available.

Comfortable during workouts and when sleeping. Same VO2 max and trip detection as the Watch 3. Updated running coach works if you can live with the Bixby voice. Touch bezel to navigate between menus. Comes in two sizes, with an LTE option.

Battery life on the smaller 40mm version takes a beating during workouts, especially with the always-on display active. ECG is only available when tied to a Galaxy phone.

“With LTE, ECG, and more apps and sensors, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 is among the best smartwatches you can buy.”

Comprehensive and expansive exercise tracking, Stainless-steel version looks watch-like, Easy-to-read display in all lighting, Two-day battery with light usage, You can scroll Twitter on a watch

Still limited third-party app support, ECG monitoring still not live, Incremental performance over old model
