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 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.

I have had my Galaxy Watch now for almost 12 months. It does everything I need to and more importantly it isn't one of those fruity brand devices which are overpriced and use design over functionality, I digress... The Samsung pay function does not work with my UK bank which is a little sad, and it also does not work on my Galaxy S10+ so am using google pay, would be so much easier to use my watch instead of getting my phone out! Battery lasts almost a week! that is great, if it were a fruity brand once or twice a day if you use it! Gotta love the battery life, one of the reason for purchasing this!

I have been using it for quite sometime now and absolutely loving this companion on daily basis. Great style (the classic kinda), features, finish and amazing battery life (easily running into 4th day on bluetooth mode ). Trying to learn all the features in detail before starting to use it with standalone e-sim mode.

The Watch Active 2 comes in both LTE and Bluetooth options and can be pre-ordered now. The Bluetooth model starts at £269/$279 for the 40mm model and £289/$299 for the 44mm. That price rises to £399 and £419 if you want LTE. There's no LTE pricing in the US as yet.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 is a minor upgrade on its predecessor, adding a digital rotating dial, bigger version, currently inactive ECG, and LTE option. But it's also nominally costlier, putting a hefty price on only a few extra features.

Digital haptic dial control is great; Still decent 2-day battery life; Attractive minimalist design

Pricey upgrade; Still very few third-party apps

Just six months after the launch of the Galaxy Watch Active, Samsung is following it up with the next generation of its flagship smartwatch. But why We took a closer look at the new Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 for this first hands-on review.

When I unboxed the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 last week, I was rooting for it. On paper, the Active2 had a lot going for it. It's a good looking watch with solid app offerings and multi-day battery life. It's reasonably priced, and now comes with LTE connectivity.

While the original Watch Active felt like a first-generation product, the Galaxy Watch Active 2 is a product that proves Samsung is listening to user feedback. The touch-sensitive bezel really helps with the overall experience, and there's now LTE connectivity for those who need it.

Sleek; premium design Sharp AMOLED display Touch-enabled bezel for quick navigation Bluetooth + LTE variants for more flexibility ~2 day battery life Fantastic sleep tracking

No MST payments with Samsung Pay Tizen app ecosystem is still lacking compared to Wear OS Heart rate; GPS; and altimeter sensors can be wonky Setup process still needs work
